Study Notes
Living Organisms
- Living organisms, including fruit trees, rainforests, houseflies, fish, birds, cats, and dogs, are all composed of cells.
- Cells interact with each other to form different parts of an organism, creating its whole body.
- Robert Hooke, an English scientist, first described cells in the 17th century, observing compartments (cells) and their boundaries in cork slices.
Plant Types
- Plants are diverse but all have cellular structures.
- Some plant structures protect organisms from external factors, while others are involved in reproduction.
- All cells are enclosed by a membrane and contain internal components.
- Many organisms are single-celled, like bacteria.
- Other organisms are multicellular, like many plants and animals.
- All organisms contain the same chemical elements.
