Study Notes
Lesson 1: Cells
- A theory is a principle formed to explain things already shown in data
- A hypothesis is an assumption made before research, that can be tested to see if it's true. "If this happens, then this happens."
- Cell theory: all living things are made up of one or more cells and their products, cells are the simplest unit capable of carrying out life processes, and all cells come from other cells.
- Prokaryotes are simple, small single-celled organisms lacking a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. They only contain a cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, and cytoplasm; the nucleoid contains genetic material.
- Eukaryotes are more complex, containing organelles and a nucleus, also membrane-bound organelles such as organelles to perform specific functions within the cell. Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic and can be single-celled (like protists) or multicellular (e.g. animals, fungi or plants). Four kingdoms are included in eukaryotic cells.
Lesson 2: Organelles
- An organelle is a cell structure performing a specific function within the cell.
- Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills cells, suspending organelles.
Characteristics of Living Things (MRS GREN)
- Movement (all living things move in some way)
- Respiration (chemical reaction to create energy from nutrients)
- Sensitivity (ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment)
- Growth (increasing in size)
- Reproduction (ability to make more organisms)
- Excretion (getting rid of waste)
- Nutrition (taking in and using nutrients)
Lesson 3: Comparing Plants and Animal Cells + Diffusion and Osmosis
- Plant and animal cells require the same things: energy, nutrients, water, and gases.
- Plant cells have a cell wall for structure, one large central vacuole, and chloroplasts involved in photosynthesis.
- Animal cells lack a cell wall and have many small vacuoles and no chloroplasts.
- Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration.
- Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
- Diffusion allows cells to efficiently exchange materials needed to function.
Lesson 4: Cell Cycle - Part 1
- Cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction, in order to survive.
- Factors affecting the size of cells include efficient movement of materials in and out, nutrients from the surroundings to the inside of the cell and waste from inside to the outside of the cell and surface area-to-volume ratio.
- Cell division is important when cells get too large.
- The cell cycle has phases: Interphase, Mitosis & Cytokinesis.
Lesson 4: Cell Cycle - Part 2
- Interphase is a phase in the cell cycle where there are subphases, including G1, S, and G2, where the cell performs normal life activities such as growth, cellular respiration, and specialized functions.
- During interphase, the cell grows and duplicates its genetic material.
Lesson 5: Cancer
- Types of cancers include benign, where the tumor doesn't affect surrounding tissue other than via physical pressure, and malignant, where the cancer cells interfere with functioning cells.
- Cancer involves uncontrolled cell growth and division, often due to mutations.
- Factors contributing to cancer may include carcinogens, hereditary factors or mutations.
- Other methods to reduce risk factors include maintaining a healthy diet or exercise regularly.
- Cancer screening methods can help detect cancer early.
- There are various treatment methods, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
