Study Notes
Living Things and Cells
- Living things are different from non-living things.
- Living things have characteristics:
- Cells: Basic building blocks of living things
- Nutrition: The way living things get food
- Excretion: The way living things get rid of waste
- Response: How living things react to changes
- Reproduction: The way living things produce new living things.
Groups of Living Things
- Bacteria: Tiny microscopic living things
- Fungi: Mushrooms, molds, and yeast
- Plants: Trees, grasses, and flowers
- Animals: Humans, fish, insects, etc.
- Others: Seaweeds, amoeba
- Vertebrates: Animals with backbones (e.g., horse, seagull, frog, snake)
- Invertebrates: Animals without backbones (e.g., spider, earthworms, fly, jellyfish)
Cells
- Living things are made of cells.
-
Animal Cells:
- Membrane: Holds cell contents, controls what enters/exits
- Nucleus: Control center of the cell
- Cytoplasm: Carries out cell reactions, supports structures
-
Plant Cells:
- Cell Wall: Gives strength to the cell
- Cell Membrane: Controls what enters/exits the cell
- Nucleus: Control center
- Cytoplasm: Carries out cell reactions, supports structure
- Chloroplasts: in plant cytoplasm, tiny structures that make food via photosynthesis
- Vacuole: Gives strength to the cell
