Accel Bio Unit 1 [2] (copy)

1. Cells are the basic unit of organization of an organism

2. All living things are composed of cells

3. All cells come from other cells

An organism composed of one cell. Reproduces using cell division. Example: bacteria

Organism composed of multiple cells. Example: animals, plants,fungi

Cork cells

A parent cell makes an identical cell often called a daughter cell

Size increases slowly

Any living thing

A building block of all organisms that carry out all life processes. (All organisms are composed of this)

The ability to do work. (All organisms obtain and use energy.)

Either by absorbing solar energy (sunlight) or consuming other animals

organisms that produce their own food

organisms that cannot make their own food, but must gather it

The ability to maintain a constant internal condition despite changing external conditions

temperatures, pH levels, solute concentrations, and other conditions

Measures the strength of acids or bases

Amount of material dissolved in a solution

Grow by replicating and dividing their cells.

sexually or asexually

joining of the sperm and egg. resulting in increased genetic variation

Produces offspring identical to parents

The environment

Anything that causes a reaction/response

Survive to the stimuli

Ability to adapt in various environments

unicellular organisms that lack membrane bound organelles. DNA is in Cytoplasm. OLDEST TYPE OF CELL (3.5 billion years) Example: only bacteria

Unicellular or multicellular cells. DNA is in nucleus. (1.5 billion years) Example: animals, plants, protests,fungi

Prokaryotic: 1-10 micrometers

Eukaryotic: 10-100 micrometers

Prokaryotic: unicellular

Eukaryotic: uni/multicellular

Prokaryotic: None, DNA is in a circular chromosome in the cytoplasm

Eukaryotic: yes, DNA forms linear chromosomes in the nucleus

Prokaryotic: yes

Eukaryotic: yes

Prokaryotic: yes, small

Eukaryotic: yes, large

Prokaryotic: yes

Eukaryotic: yes -plants, fungi, NO -animals

Prokaryotic: No- ribosomes are NOT membrane bound and are free floating

Eukaryotic: yes

small structures in the cell that carry out cellular functions

Organelle that produces proteins

Fluid inside the cell
