(FOUNDATION TO CORE IDEAS) - Makes proteins (building blocks of
life)
Biology Golgi Apparatus
- Biology is the study of life, but more - Packages and ships proteins
specifically: Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
1. How living things are built - Transport system inside cell
2. How they work
3. How they interact Plant vs Animal Cells (Why difference
4. How they change and survive exists)
So almost everything in biology answers 4 Plant cells:
big questions: - Have cell wall → protection +
1. What is it made of? structure
2. How does it function? - Have chloroplast → photosynthesis
3. How does it reproduce? - Large vacuole → water storage
4. How does it survive in its
environment? Animal cells:
- No cell wall
The Cell (THE BASIC UNIT OF LIFE) - No chloroplast
- More flexible shape
Cell Theory
- All living things are made of cells Life Processes (How living things stay
- Cells are the smallest unit of life alive)
- All cells come from existing cells
Respiration (Energy release)
Meaning: life = built from cells Purpose: get energy from food
Parts of the Cell (Organelles &
Functions)
● Happens in mitochondria
Nucleus ● All living things do this (plants too)
- Control center
- Contains DNA (instructions of life) Photosynthesis (Plants only)
Mitochondria - Plants make food using sunlight
- Produces energy (ATP)
- “Powerhouse of the cell”
Cell Membrane
- Controls what enters/exits the cell
● Happens in chloroplast
- Like a security gate
● Produces glucose (food) + oxygen
Cytoplasm
- Jelly-like fluid
- Where reactions happen
