All living things are made up of

cells….• The cell is the smallest unit of a

living thing.

If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different jobs and they all work together.

If an organism is unicellular, all functions of life happen within that one cell.

• Cells can be specialized (have a certain function)

• The size and shape of a cell relates to its job or function.

• Cells are made of different structures that perform differentfunctions that keep a cell alive.

Level 2: Tissues• Tissue = group of cells that work together

to do a specific job• Ex: Heart muscle tissue

is made of heart muscle cells

• Animals have 4 types of tissue: nerve, muscle, connective, protective

• Plants have 3 types of tissue : transport, protective, ground

Level 3: Organs• Organ = structure that is made up of 2 or more tissues working

together to get a specific job done

• Ex: Stomach – muscle tissue moves food, special tissues make chemicals to digest food, connective tissue holds stomach together, nervous tissue sends messages back and forth between the stomach and brain

Level 4: Organ Systems• Organ system = group of organs working

together to perform a specific function• Each organ system has a specific job• Ex: Digestive system is made of several

organs including the stomach and intestines

Organism

•Anything that can live on its own

•Means “organized”

–Unicellular–multicellular

Page 10: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

Unicellular Organisms• “uni-” = one• Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms• Some algae, some protists, and some

eukaryotes (yeasts), are unicellular• Can still do everything they need to

stay alive

Page 11: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

Multicellular Organisms• “multi-” = more than one• Plants, animals, some protists, and

most fungi are multicellular• Start as a single cell many cells

cells differentiate (change) into different types of cells cells group together

• Advantages- can grow larger and have specialized cells for different functionsLink:

Why do we hear so much about stem cells & what are they?

• The human body is composed of many different types of cells– e.g. muscle cells, skin cells, liver cells,

cardiovascular cells, etc.• Not all cells have the same potential

– Some cells remain “immature”—these are stem cells

• When stem cells “mature,” or differentiate they turn into the different cells of the body (or somatic cells)

Stem cells are multi-talentedSelf-renew a stem cell can reproduce itself by cell division

Differentiate a stem cell can specialize into a particular type of somatic cell

There are two main types of Stem Cells—Adult & Embryonic Stem Cells

• Adult stem cells– found in adult tissue – can self-renew many times– are multipotent – they can differentiate to become only the

types of cells in the tissue they come from.• hematopoietic stem cells – give rise to blood cells• mesenchymal stem cells – give rise to cells of connective

tissues and bones• umbilical cord stem cells – a rich source of hematopoietic

stem cells• stem cells found in amniotic fluid – might be more flexible

than adult stem cells

Page 15: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

There are two main types of Stem Cells—Adult & Embryonic Stem Cells

• Embryonic stem cells – come from embryos

• This stage embryo is called a Blastocyst – ~5 days old, a hollow microscopic ball of cells

– can self-renew forever; adult stem cells have a cell-division limit

– are pluripotent – they can differentiate to become almost EVERY cell in the body

– live in a Petri dish, not a woman's body

The Discovery of Cells

In 1665 Robert Hooke looked at cork under the microscope and described what he saw as “tiny rooms” or “cells”

Concept #1- A polarbear is made up ofmany cells!

Concept #3- All polar bearscell came from a single livingcell. They divide and theygrow to replace old dead cells!

Concept #2- Different cells ina polar bears body doesdifferent jobs (functions). Example: Fatcells provide insulation andenergy, while red blood cellscarry oxygen.

• The main ingredient in any cell is water. A water molecule has two areas:

• The negative (–) end can attract the positive part of another substance.

• The positive (+) end can attract the negative part of another substance.

Basic Cell Substances

All cells have:

1. Cell membrane– a flexible covering that protects the inside

of a cell from the environment outside a cell.

– controls movement of materials in & out of the cell

Page 21: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

All cells have:

2. Hereditary material- DNA

• A nucleic acid, such as DNA, contains the genetic information for a cell.

Page 22: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

All cells have:

3. Cytoplasm- Clear, thick, gel-like fluid that contains most of the cell’s water, salts, and all organelles*It is constantly moving

cytoplasmfrom Greek kytos, means “hollow

vessel”; and plasma, means “something molded”

Page 23: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

All cells have:

4. Organelles- • tiny membrane-

surrounded structures inside the cell that carry out specific functions.– They enable the

cell to live, grow, and reproduce

• With more advanced microscopes, scientists discovered that all cells can be grouped into two types:

• prokaryotic cells

• eukaryotic cells

Cell Types

• Most prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms called prokaryotes.

Page 25: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

Prokaryotes: NO NUCLEUS!

• 1st cells to evolve• Have No Nucleus!• The hereditary

information (circular DNA) is contained within the cytoplasm.

• Examples: Archaebacteria and Bacteria*”Pro” rhymes with “No”

Page 26: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is not surrounded by a membrane.

Page 27: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

Eukaryotes• Evolved from prokaryotes• Organisms whose cells do have a nucleus.• Hereditary information (Linear DNA) is

contained within the nucleus• Examples:

– Animals– Plants– Protists– Fungi

– *“You” are a Eukaryote.

Page 28: All living things are made up of cells…. The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. If an organism is multicellular, different cells have different

• Plants, animals, fungi, and protists are all made of eukaryotic cells and are called eukaryotes.

• In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is surrounded by a membrane.

Why are cells so small?

Cell size is limited.-As cell size increases, it takes longer for material to diffuse from the cell membrane to the interior of the cell.

Surface area-to-volume ratio: as a cell increases in size, the volume increases 10x faster than the surface area

-Surrounds all cells

– In a plant cell, it lies beneath the cell wall

– In animal cells, it is the outer boundary (made of cholesterol)

– Serves as a gateway which helps to control materials going in and out of the cell

• It’s like the border of a city!

• DNA in the nucleus is organized into structures called chromosomes.

• The nucleolus is also contained in the nucleus and makes ribosomes, organelles involved in the production of proteins.

• The nuclear envelope is a porous, two-membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus.

• Only found surrounding plant, fungal and bacterial cells

• A cell wall is a stiff structure outside the cell membrane that protects a cell from attack by viruses and other harmful organisms.

• Made of cellulose- a tough, yet flexible material

• Provides support, structure, and protection for the cell •It’s like the

wall that surrounds a medieval city!
