Cells
are the
basic
building blocks
of
life.
The human body is made up of
cells.
Fossilization
occurs when an organism dies and its remains get buried under layers of mud and sand.
Cells can be classified based on their
shape
(eukaryotic or prokaryotic) and
function
(animal, plant, fungi).
The three main types of cells are
plant
,
animal
, and
bacteria.
There are different types of cells, including
skin
cells
,
muscle
cells
,
nerve
cells
,
blood
cells
, and
bone
cells.
There are different types of cells, including
animal
cells
,
plant
cells
,
bacteria
,
fungi
,
protists
, and
archaea.
Animal
cells
have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, centrioles, cilia, flagella, vacuole, and chloroplasts.
Plant
cells
have a cell wall, plasmodesmata, central vacuole, amyloplasts, elaioplasts, chromoplasts, leucoplasts, and starch grains.
Animal
cells
do not have cell walls but instead rely on other structures to maintain their
shape.
Protists
are
eukaryotic
microorganisms with diverse shapes and functions.
Fungi
include yeasts, molds,
mushrooms
, and mildews.
Bacteria
are single-celled organisms that can be found everywhere on
Earth.
Protists are
eukaryotes
that lack specialized tissues and organs, such as algae, protozoa,
slime
molds, water molds, and diatoms.
Fungi include
yeast
,
mushrooms
, molds, mildews, rusts, smuts, and puffballs.
Bacteria do not have a true
nucleus
but instead contain DNA in the form of a single circular loop called a
bacterial chromosome.
Bacteria cells
are small and single-celled, with no
nucleus
or membrane-bound organelles.
Animal cells do not have a
cell wall
but instead rely on other structures like cilia and
flagella
for movement.
Animal cells do not have a
cell wall
but contain a
nucleus
with genetic material.
The human body is made up of trillions of cells organized into tissues, organs, systems, and the whole body.
Protists are eukaryotes with no distinct tissue structure but may contain specialized structures such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Plants are multicellular organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Fungi include yeasts, molds, mushrooms, and mildews, which play important roles in decomposition and food production.
The human body is home to trillions of bacteria, some of which are beneficial while others cause disease.
Bacteria are prokaryotes that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cells can be classified based on their size, shape, function, and location within an organism.
Bacteria
can be found on the skin, inside the mouth,
nose
, intestines, and other parts of the body.
Plasmids are small circles of DNA that carry genes for antibiotic resistance.
Cell walls protect plant cells from external stresses and give them shape and rigidity.
Chlorophyll
is a green pigment found inside chloroplasts that absorbs light energy from the sun during
photosynthesis.
Some bacteria have flagella to move around, while others use fimbriae to attach themselves to surfaces.
The cell wall is composed of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix of polysaccharides and proteins.
The
chloroplast
is an organelle found only in plant cells where
photosynthesis
occurs.
The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan (in gram-positive bacteria) or lipopolysaccharide (in gram-negative bacteria).
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose fibers to support their structure.
The cell wall also acts as a barrier against pathogens and prevents water loss through osmosis.
The nucleus contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities such as growth and reproduction.
Ribosomes synthesize proteins using information encoded by DNA.
Protoctista is a domain consisting of protists, which includes single-celled organisms such as amoeba, paramecium, and diatoms.
Mitochondria produce energy through cellular respiration.
