Study Notes
Organelle and Cell Specialization
- Biological systems rely on emergent properties from hierarchical structure within organisms.
- Living organisms use a few elements to form building blocks and transfer matter and energy.
- Hierarchical structures make up multicellular organisms (e.g., atoms, molecules, macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems)
- Hierarchical structure enables specialization at molecular, cellular and organism levels.
- The cell membrane, a selectively permeable boundary, is composed of macromolecules like fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
- The nucleus is the site of genetic information (DNA).
- Mitochondria are organelles that metabolize energy through cellular respiration.
- Cytoplasm is the fluid that gives the cell its shape and houses many reactions.
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) creates proteins, and packages proteins with Golgi apparatus. Some waste products are also secreted.
- Macromolecules create organelles, which in turn create cells, which create tissues, and so on.
- Cells specialize to make tissues for specific organs (e.g., nerve cells, blood cells, neurons).
- Specialized tissues/cells build various tissues and organs.
- The notes involve activities using online cell models to explore various cell structures and functions.
- The notes include a plenary activity involving watching a video where a man lifts a car to save a child, and the importance of specialized tissues/organs working together.
- Homework includes exploring specific sections of a textbook (Discovery Tech book) on cell structure and function.
- Video links are included for additional learning on cell structure and function.
