Study Notes

Biology

  • The study of living organisms and life
  • Includes structure, function, growth, evolution and interactions with their environment.
  • Subfields include genetics, ecology, microbiology, and zoology.
  • Helps us understand life processes and how organisms interact with each other.

Cells

  • Basic building blocks of all living things.
  • Smallest unit of life, like tiny factories.
  • Carry out functions necessary for an organism's survival.
  • Unicellular organisms have one cell.
  • Multicellular organisms have trillions of cells working together.

Organisms

  • Any living thing, such as a plant, animal, or fungus.
  • Can be unicellular or multicellular.
  • Bacteria are single-celled organisms.
  • Humans are multicellular organisms.

Notes on Organisms

  • Organisms grow, reproduce, respond to their environment, and carry out functions for survival.

Key Points

  • Living things are called "Organisms."
  • Cells are the smallest unit capable of life functions.
  • Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell.
  • Multicellular organisms are made up of many cells.
  • Cells in multicellular organisms are specialized for specific functions.
  • All cells come from other cells through cell division.

Cell Growth and Division

  • Cell division creates new cells for replacement and growth.
  • Single cells are usually too small to be seen without a microscope.
