Study Notes
Cells
- Cells are the basic units of life
- All living things are composed of cells
- Cells are the basic unit of life
- All cells come from pre-existing cells
- All cells have the same basic chemical composition
Cell Membrane
- Thin, flexible, skin-like layer surrounding the cell
- Controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell
- Includes diffusion and osmosis
Cytoplasm
- Jelly-like material filling the cell
- Provides support and structure for organelles
- Allows materials to move safely around the cell
Nucleus
- Spherical, dark organelle
- Control center of the cell
- Contains chromosomes, instructions for other organelles
Mitochondria
- Oval-shaped organelles
- Powerhouses of the cell
- Break down food particles to release energy (ATP) in the presence of oxygen
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Folded membranes forming canals
- Transports proteins and other materials through the cell
Ribosomes
- Tiny circular structures
- Produce proteins needed for cell growth, repair, and reproduction
Golgi Body
- Folded membranes
- Modifies proteins and sends them to their destination within or outside the cell
Vacuoles
- Sack-like structures
- Storage spaces for food, waste, and other materials
Cell Wall
- Rigid outer layer found only in plant cells
- Provides support and structure
Chloroplasts
- Found only in plant cells
- Contain chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis
- Location of photosynthesis
Lysosomes
- Found only in animal cells
- Contain enzymes to break down unwanted materials
Flagella and Cilia
- Hair-like structures
- Used for movement
Plant Cells vs Animal Cells
- Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole
- Animal cells have lysosomes
Mitosis
- Process by which cells divide
- DNA replicates, chromosomes are separated into two identical sets in two new nuclei
- Two new cells are created from a single parent cell
Cell Processes
- Diffusion - Movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration (no energy required)
- Osmosis - Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from high concentration to low concentration (no energy required)
- Active transport - Movement of particles against the concentration gradient (energy required)
Tissues
- Groups of specialized cells working together
- Examples include epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues
Organs
- Groups of tissues working together
- Examples include heart, lungs, and stomach
