parts of a cell

• All living things are composed of cells, which are the basic units of all organisms that can perform all life’s functions.
• Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life.
• The biological organization is presented as a hierarchical system in which each successive level is more complex than the lower level.
• The cell is the basic unit of living organisms, it is the smallest structure capable of basic life processes, and living things are made up of cells.
• All living things share the following properties: cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, responsiveness, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution, which are called the characteristics of life.
• Plant cells have bigger vacuoles because they need to store more water and food as they are less mobile compared to animals.
• Plastids allow plant cells to perform photosynthesis.
• Vacuoles are present in both animal and plant cells.
• Plant cells and animal cells are different from one another based on the following specialized parts: cell wall, plastids, centriole, flagella.
• Animal and plant cells are eukaryotic cells because they have well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles.
• The cell wall is additional protection for plant cells that provides it with a definite shape.
• Animal and plant cells have the following similar parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, vacuoles, nucleus, ribosomes.
• In this lesson, you should be able to describe the different levels of biological organization from cell to biosphere, sequence the levels of each biological organization in order of least to the most complex, and give examples for each level.
• The structures of living things are organized into different levels.
• The product had labels where cell parts are represented.
• Locate the cells under the low power objective (LPO) lens.
• Examine your preparation under the microscope.
• Concepts were properly presented in relation to the task.
• The concept of cell was properly integrated in the tasks.
• Additional concepts about cells related to the tasks were presented.
• To remove the excess stain or air bubbles trapped, place a filter paper or any absorbent paper at the edge of a cover slip.
• Use the high power objective lens (HPO) to examine some of the cells.
• The product was neat, labels were readable, cell parts were represented.
• The concept of cell was integrated in an organized and logical way.
• Label it as fully as you can.
• The concept of cell was mentioned but not integrated in the tasks.
• Wash the glass slide and coverslip with water after use.
• Make a large drawing of one cheek cell.
• The product was neat, labels were clearly written and readable, cell parts were accurately detailed and clearly represented.
• The product had incomplete labels and cell parts were inaccurately represented.
• Organism is a living thing that, by using its organs, performs all basic life processes.
• Organ system is a higher level of organization that consists of different organs that work together to perform related bodily functions.
• Community is the sum of populations living within a certain area.
• Biosphere is the sum of all ecosystems and includes every plant, animal, human, microorganism, and nonliving things such as land, water, and atmosphere on Earth.
• Fish, tadpoles, and bacteria are the biotic components, while rock, water, and air are the abiotic components.
• The biosphere is the sum of all ecosystems and includes every plant, animal, human, microorganism, and nonliving things such as land, water, and atmosphere on Earth.
• A pond ecosystem may include a population of fish, tadpoles, bacteria, rocks, water, and air.
• Population is a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area.
• The level of biological organization is arranged from the simplest level to the most complex: the cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere.
• Organ is a system of tissues grouped together to perform a common function.
