    Study Notes

    Respiration

    • Respiration is the release of energy from food to carry out life processes
    • Respiration is necessary for all living things
    • Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen in certain cells
    • Aerobic respiration occurs with oxygen in both cells

    Growth

    • Growth is the change in size, mass, and number of all living things

    Sensitivity

    • The ability of all living things to sense changes in the environment

    Reproduction

    • The ability of all living things to generate offspring
    • Sexual reproduction involves the fusing of sex cells
    • Asexual reproduction only involves one parent

    Plant Cell Diagram

    • The cell wall is permeable and contains cellulose
    • Chloroplasts have a double membrane and an internal membrane, contain chlorophyll and photosynthetic enzymes
    • The vacuole is a large, membrane-bound compartment containing sugars, minerals, and waste products
    • The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell
    • The cytoplasm supports the organelles and is the site of many chemical reactions

    Plant & Animal Cells

    • Plant and animal cells contain organelles which are specialized cells that carry out vital functions
    • Organelles are located in the cytoplasm, which is surrounded by one or more membranes
    • Both types of cells contain smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membrane and mitochondria

    What are Cells?

    • Cells are the basic fundamental units of living things

    Hierarchy of Biological Organization

    • The order of biological organization from smallest to largest is: cells, tissues, systems, body

    Characteristics of Cells

    • Cells contain all 7 traits of living things
    • Some cells are unicellular, containing only one cell
    • Others are multicellular, containing multiple cells

    Cell Structure Overview

    • Ribosomes are small organelles
    • The cell membrane is a permeable layer containing proteins and liquids outside of the cell
    • The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane and contains chromatin threads
    • Chromatin threads contain DNA
    • The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules through the cytoplasm that has ribosomes attached
    • The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes attached
