Cell Theory  All living things are made up of one or more cells  Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms  All cells arise from existing cells

2 Types of Cells Eukaryote (can be both unicellular and multicellular) Prokaryote (unicellular)

Eukaryotes  4 kingdoms that contain eukaryotes are Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia  Cells with: Nucleus Organelles  Enclosed DNA  Larger cell  4 kingdoms that contain eukaryotes are Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia  Cells with: Nucleus Organelles  Enclosed DNA  Larger cell

Prokaryotes Cells with no nucleus Unicellular No organelles Free DNA Bacteria cell Monera Kingdom: Archaebacteria & Eubacteria (Autotrophs and heterotrophs)

All Living Things 1.Monera Kingdom: Archaebacteria 2.Monera Kingdom: Eubacteria 3.Protista Kingdom 4.Fungi Kingdom 5.Plantae Kingdom 6.Animalia Kingdom

Characteristics of All Living Things 1.Made of cells 2.Maintain homeostasis – stable internal conditions 3.Metabolism – need energy (Autotrophs and/or heterotrophs) 4.Responsiveness 5.Reproduction 6.Contain heredity material – DNA/RNA 7.Growth/Development

1. All Living things are made of CELLS There are 2 categories: UNICELLULAR AND MULTICELLULAR

Single Cell - unicellular  Organism has to perform all functions of life within one cell  Some have Chloroplasts - autotrophs (make own food)  photosynthesis  Organism has to perform all functions of life within one cell  Some have Chloroplasts - autotrophs (make own food)  photosynthesis

Multicellular Cells are organized into an hierarchy: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms Heterotrophs - obtain food by eating other things Autotrophs like plants (trees, grass, flowers) – make their own food from the sun Mitochondria organelle- used for respiration/power

Hierarchy of Life Hierarchy: First Step: Building blocks of living things are organized into a hierachy: Atom- molecule – macromolecule- organelle Second step: Cells are organized into an hierarchy: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms

2. Living things fight for survival  Homeostasis - maintain internal standards (temp., water, salinity)  Stable internal conditions  Homeostasis - maintain internal standards (temp., water, salinity)  Stable internal conditions

3. Living things need ENERGY  Metabolism - chemical reactions that convert food into energy  Most energy comes from the sun that is later used by other organisms  Autotrophs vs. Heterotrophs  Metabolism - chemical reactions that convert food into energy  Most energy comes from the sun that is later used by other organisms  Autotrophs vs. Heterotrophs

4. Living things RESPOND to their environment  Responsiveness organisms respond to their external environment  Ex. Flowers bend toward sunlight  Responsiveness organisms respond to their external environment  Ex. Flowers bend toward sunlight

5. Living things REPRODUCE  REPRODUCTION Organisms making more of themselves  Sexual and Asexual  Mitosis and Meisosis is cell reproduction  REPRODUCTION Organisms making more of themselves  Sexual and Asexual  Mitosis and Meisosis is cell reproduction

6. All living things have genetic material Heredity - When an organism reproduces, it passes its own traits to its offspring (children) DNA and RNA hang out in the nucleus of eukaryote cells or free floating in prokaryote cells (bacteria)

7. Growth/Development Growth – All living things grow, either briefly or for thousands of years (i.e bacteria vs. a giant sequoia tree) Development – organisms change as they grow; frogs develop from eggs to tadpoles to frogs
