  • 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.
