The Cell
  1. smallest unit of matter that can still carry out all the processes of life.
    1. Animal cell
      1. Cell Membrane
        1. see diagram - phospholipids and proteins
          1. selectively permeable
            1. containment
              1. recognition
              2. Nucleus
                1. contains DNA - deoxyribo nucleic acid
                  1. controls activity of cell
                    1. chromatin, nuclear pores, nucleolus - see diagram
                      1. nucleolus - made of RNA DNA and protein, makes ribosomes
                        1. nuclear pore - controls the movement of substances in and out of nucleus
                          1. chromatin = tangle of DNA
                        2. Mitochondria (pl)
                          1. double membrane, inner folded, contains cristae, mitochondrial DNA, matrix - see diagram
                            1. cristae- larger SA
                            2. number present = level of activity
                              1. aerobic respiration
                              2. Ribosomes
                                1. made of protien and RNA
                                  1. some free in cytoplasm some attached to membranes
                                    1. make proteins following instructions sent out from the DNA in the nucleus in the form of messenger RNA
                                    2. Cytoplasm
                                    3. Plant cell
                                      1. Contains all that the animal cell contains, but also cell walls, vacuoles and chloroplasts
                                        1. Cell wall
                                          1. cellulose and protein
                                            1. strength, protection, shape
                                              1. fully permeable
                                                1. adjacent cells glued together by pectin with the middle lamella
                                                2. Chloroplasts
                                                  1. see diagram- granum, thylakoids. starch granules, ribosomes, DNA, double membrane
                                                    1. photosynthesis
                                                    2. Vacuoles
                                                      1. cell sap- pigments, water, food, minerals
                                                        1. structural support, waste, storage
