plant and animal cells
  1. characteristics of living things: Growth, response to stimuli (response to the environment), reproduction, organization, metabolism (turn energy to cellular components + break down organic chemicals), homeostasis (regulation of internal environment, i.e: temperature), and adaptation.
    1. Cells: simplest units of life, of which all living things are composed.
      1. Discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He viewed cork through a microscope.
        1. Cell theory: All living things are made of cells, cells are the basic blocks of life, and new cells come from pre- existing cells (through division)
          1. Types of cells: Eukaryote (complex cells, contain nuclei, example: plants and animal cells) and prokaryorte (simple cells, no nuclei, example: bacteria)
            1. Eukaryote cell structure:
              1. Plasma membrane:Flexible material, keeps cell contents within the cell, selectively allows certain materials into and out of the cell (waste goes out, food, water, and oxygen goes in)
                1. Cytoplasm:Consists of all cell contents, made of two key parts: Cytosol ( A jelly-like fluid (mostly water), chemicals are transferred through it, and chemical reactions occur here), and organelles (specialized organs of the cell)
                  1. Organelles: Nucleus (The 'control center' of the cell, consists of several parts: Nuclear membrane (surrounds the nucleus, similar to the cell membrane, and contains pores), Nucleolus (manufactures ribosomes (an organelle)), and chromatin (An assembly of chromosomes (DNA), codes for the production of proteins in the cytosol)), Ribosomes (Used to produce proteins (they receive signals from the nucleus and use them to correctly construct proteins), are sometimes attached to endoplasmic reticulum), Endoplasmic Reticulum (Branched Tubules attached to nucleus, come extent out into the cell, can be either smooth or rough (Rough E.R. have ribosomes attached to it)), Golgi Body (or Golgi Complex) (Small pancake-like structure Used to chemically modify certain chemicals and proteins, Vesicles deliver proteins/chemicals, Golgi body changes them to the desired structure, and Modified chemicals are transported out of the Golgi body via vesicles to their desired location),
                    1. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Ribosomes produce proteins here, The E.R. serves as a transport mechanism for the proteins, proteins can move through the E.R. to get to other sections of the cell, Sections of the E.R. can break off as vesicle to surround proteins and transport them further through the cell (Often to the golgi body.)
                      1. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: No ribosomes are attached, Certain chemicals are: Created, Stored here, and Transport from here to other sections of the cell through vesicles.
                        1. DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid Genetic information (Heredity – to pass traits from one cell to its offspring), DNA codes for the production of proteins For chemical signaling between cells, For enzymes to mediate biological reactions (eg: metabolism). Since the DNA codes for protein production it controls the functions of the cell.
                          1. Mitochondria (Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are the “power centers” of the cell They make the usable energy ATP for the cell ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, Many of the reactions that turn food into energy (ATP) occur in the mitochondria, Cellular Respiration (glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP), Mitochondria are the only organelle (other than the nucleus) that contains DNA), Vacuole (Storage sacs in the cell, Vacuoles can contain different materials, depending on the type of cell: Food, Waste, Water, etc..., Vacuoles can be drastically different sizes (Very small in animal cells Very large in plant cells))
                            1. Animals Vs. Plants: Animal cells and plant cells have some slight differences in organelles (Animal cells: Lysosomes, Centrioles Plant cells: Cell wall, chloroplasts)
                              1. Animal organelles: Lysosomes: Similar to a vacuole, Contains destructive enzymes, Can break down old organelles, or even the whole cell, Centrioles: Used during cell division, Produce spindle fibre to help separate DNA .
                                1. Plant organelles:Cell Wall: A rigid structure surrounding the cell membrane Made of cellulose, which is a long molecule made up of sugar, Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll, Photosynthesis happens here (Water + carbon dioxide + light = glucose + oxygen), Vacuole: Very large water-filled sacs, Used to keep the cell pressing firmly on the cell wall.
