    Study Notes

    • Living organisms are made up of cells, which can be unicellular (like bacteria) or multicellular (like plants and animals).
    • Organisms are classified as eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi) or prokaryotes (bacteria), based on how their genetic material is stored.
    • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus to store genetic material, while prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.
    • Prokaryotic cells are smaller (around 1 micrometer) compared to eukaryotic cells (around 10 to 100 micrometers).
    • Sizes can be converted between micrometers, millimeters, and meters by multiplying or dividing by a thousand.
    • Orders of magnitude can be used to compare sizes (e.g., plant cell 10 times bigger than bacterial cell = one order of magnitude difference).
    • Animal cells have cell membranes, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes for various functions.
    • Plant cells have additional structures like cell walls (cellulose), permanent vacuoles (cell sap), and chloroplasts for photosynthesis with chlorophyll.
    • Bacteria cells contain cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and cell walls, but lack a nucleus and have genetic material in a circular loop in the cytoplasm.
