1 Cells and life

2 What do all living things have in common? There are 8 characteristics that all things have in common. There are 8 characteristics that all things have in common.

3 The characteristics of life: 1. Living things are made up of cells.

4 2. Living things reproduce.

5 3. Living things are based on a universal genetic code.

6 4. Living things grow and develop.

7 5. Living things obtain and use materials and energy.

8 6. Living things respond to their environment.

9 7. Living things maintain a stable internal environment.

10 8. As a group, living things change over time (evolve).

12 What exactly is a cell? Cell: a collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier (membrane) that separates the cell from its surroundings. Cell: a collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier (membrane) that separates the cell from its surroundings. Cells are the smallest unit of life. Cells are the smallest unit of life.

13 Cell Theory There are 3 components of the Cell theory: Component #1  All living things are composed (made of) cells.

14 Component #2 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

15 Component #3 3. New cells are produced from existing cells.

16 Exceptions to the cell theory – Exceptions to the cell theory – 1. Viruses: 1. Viruses: they are able to reproduce only within a living cell. they are able to reproduce only within a living cell. 2. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts 2. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts A) each contain their own DNA A) each contain their own DNA B) are able to reproduce by themselves. B) are able to reproduce by themselves.

17 Cells are broken into 2 groups: 1. Prokaryotic 2. Eukaryotic

18 ProkaryoticEukaryotic Found only in Kingdom Monera (bacteria) Found in Kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia No True Nucleus (has DNA but not in a nucleus) True Nucleus: (has DNA in a nucleus) No membrane bound organelles (ex: mitochondria) Contains cytoplasm and has membrane bound organelles

19 Pics of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells

20 Cells are Freakin Amazing: Each cell is capable of carrying out all of the life functions. Each cell has the same exact DNA and all the directions to make you (the whole organism) But Cells vary in size, shape, structure and function. How can this be?

21 lung cell brain cell

22 The DNA has thousands of different genes. The DNA has thousands of different genes. Each gene is a set of instructions. Each gene is a set of instructions. For example, you have a gene for eye color. For example, you have a gene for eye color. That gene has directions to create your blue eyes. That gene has directions to create your blue eyes. Every cell in your body (trillions of them) has this gene Every cell in your body (trillions of them) has this gene

23 Every cell has the same exact genes but some genes can be turned off and some on. (like a light switch) Every cell has the same exact genes but some genes can be turned off and some on. (like a light switch) A heart cells has different genes turned on and off, than a brain cell. A heart cells has different genes turned on and off, than a brain cell. The heart and brain cell have all the same genes, but vary in which one are turned on and off. The heart and brain cell have all the same genes, but vary in which one are turned on and off.

24 Components of Living Things Cell Structure Cells have particular structures or organelles that perform specific jobs. Cell Structure Cells have particular structures or organelles that perform specific jobs. Organelle: specialized structure that performs the life activities within the cell. Organelle: specialized structure that performs the life activities within the cell. Organelles are just like organs such as the heart and lungs Organelles are just like organs such as the heart and lungs The are the organs of the cell. The are the organs of the cell.

25 Cell Organelles include: 1. Nucleus: Structure: Structure: surrounded by a semi permeable nuclear membrane with pores. surrounded by a semi permeable nuclear membrane with pores. Lets things in and out Lets things in and out

26 Nucleus: Function The “brains” of the cell; directs cell activities and contains genetic material called chromosomes that are made of DNA. The “brains” of the cell; directs cell activities and contains genetic material called chromosomes that are made of DNA.

27 Contents of the nucleus: A) nucleolus –made up of DNA, RNA and protein. Ribosomes are made here in the nucleoli B) chromatin – long, threadlike strands of DNA, This is the hereditary material of the cell.

59 Living vs. Nonliving Living things carry out almost all the life processes or activities. Living things carry out almost all the life processes or activities. Non-living things are not able to carrying one or more of the life processes. Non-living things are not able to carrying one or more of the life processes. Metabolism: The sum of the energy used in all the life processes Metabolism: The sum of the energy used in all the life processes

60 Life Processes Complex organisms require many different organ systems to carry out life activities. Complex organisms require many different organ systems to carry out life activities. Life Processes include: 1. Digestion breakdown of food to simpler molecules which can enter the cells

61 2. Circulation the movement of materials within an organism or its cells 3. Movement (locomotion) change in position by a living thing

62 4. Excretion removal of waste products by an organism (wastes may include carbon dioxide, water, and urea in urine and sweat) 4. Excretion removal of waste products by an organism (wastes may include carbon dioxide, water, and urea in urine and sweat) 5. Respiration process which converts the energy in food to ATP (the form of energy which can be used by the cells) 5. Respiration process which converts the energy in food to ATP (the form of energy which can be used by the cells)

63  6. Reproduction the making of more organisms of one's own kind -- not needed by an individual living thing but is needed by its species  7. Immunity the ability of an organism to resist disease causing organisms and foreign invaders

64 8. Coordination the control of the various activities of an organism (mostly involves the nervous system and endocrine glands in complex animals) 8. Coordination the control of the various activities of an organism (mostly involves the nervous system and endocrine glands in complex animals)

65 9. Synthesis the production of more complex substances by combining two or more simpler substances 9. Synthesis the production of more complex substances by combining two or more simpler substances It is important to realize that cell organelles are involved in many of these life processes, as well as the organ systems of complex organisms. It is important to realize that cell organelles are involved in many of these life processes, as well as the organ systems of complex organisms.
