1
The Cell
2
8 Features of Life Living things…. 1.Reproduce 2.Grow 3.Develop 4.Need food/energy 5.Use Energy 6.Made up of cells- one or many 7.Respond to stimuli 8.Adapt
3
Reproduce Cellular reproduction: mitosis or meiosis Organism reproduction: Asexual or Sexual
4
Grow Cells get bigger Increase the number of cells
5
Develop Changes in an organism as it matures Ex. Tadpole and frog
6
Producer Make own food, photosynthesis Plants make sugars from sunlight Some bacteria
7
Consumer Must consume food Can not make food Animals, fungi, protists, bacteria
8
Cellular Respiration Living cells make energy by breaking down food consumed Make ATP (energy) Animals release Carbon dioxide C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
10
Photosynthesis Green organisms make sugar from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide Release oxygen
12
Cell A small unit in an organism Each cell performs a specific job based on their location Location: heart, brain, lungs, liver, stomach, skin Unicellular: one celled organism (bacteria) Multicellular: many cells working together
13
Unicellular
14
Multicellular
15
Response to Stimuli External Stimuli: temperature, pressure, sight, sound, taste, smell Internal stimuli: breathing, heart beat, digesting food, fears All organisms respond physically or chemically
17
Adaptation A beneficial trait inherited by an organism Increases chances of survival in a changing environment Birds have wings and specialized beaks Dolphins have fins to swim
18
camouflage
22
Chemistry of Life 6 Elements: CHONPS 1.Carbon 2.Hydrogen 3.Oxygen 4.Nitrogen 5.Phosphorus 6.Sulfur
23
C.H.O.N.P.S. 1.Carbon is the basis of organic chemistry 2.Hydrogen, Oxygen * Components of water (H2O) *Necessary for organic acids (COOH) and alcohols (OH) 1.Nitrogen - essential component of proteins, nucleic acids, and pigments 2.Phosphorus –Essential component of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) –Essential component of ATP, used in energy exchange 3.Sulfur - important in many amino acids & proteins
24
Robert Hooke 1665 Observed cork cells under a microscope Use the word cell to describe the empty spaces
25
Cork Cell
26
Robert Brown Discovered that a cell has a nucleus
27
Schleiden and Schwann Hypothesized about animal and plant cells Developed Cell Theory
28
Cell Theory 1.All living things are made of one or many cells 2.Cells are the basic units of life, cells have specific functions (they build tissues and organs) 3.All cells come from other cells (mitosis or meiosis)
