Cells Plant and Animal

Cells are the Starting Point All living organisms on Earth are divided in pieces called cells. There are smaller pieces to cells that include proteins and organelles. There are also larger pieces called tissues and systems. Cells are small compartments that hold all of the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful on Earth.

Vocabulary Cell – the basic unit of structure and function of living things Organelle – structures that make up a cell Cell Theory – all living things are made of cells that came from other living cells Selectively Permeable – only allows certain materials to pass through

Levels of Organization Cells basic--simple Tissues Organs Organ system Organism complex unit Cell-  tissue-  organ-  organ system-  Organism

Elements Elements are found on the Periodic Table arranged according to increasing atomic number Elements are represented by a chemical symbol (one capital letter or a capital letter with one or two lower case letters) Elements are made up of atoms
