Cell Basics * Theories on formation * Types of cells * Differences in cells
Cell Formation- Which Theory? A)Spontaneous Generation- the thought that living things can appear from nowhere- not true
All living things are made of cells All cells come from other cells Cells are the most basic unit of LIFE Cell Theory
All Cells: Four Major Parts Cytoplasm Cell Membrane Genetic Material (DNA) Ribosomes bacteria animal cell
Two Types of Cells: A)Prokaryotic: simple cells with no nucleus (bacteria and archae) pro = before karyo = nucleus
Two Types of Cells: B) Eukaryotic: Larger cells with more organelles and a nucleus (plants, animals, fungus and protists) eu = true karyo = nucleus
Two Types of Eukaryotic Cells: Plant Cells: have a cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts
Two Types of Eukaryotic cells Animals Cells: have no cell wall or chloroplasts
Differences in cells Cells can be different sizes- bacteria v egg Cells can be different shapes- blood cell versus muscle cell
