1 WHAT IS A CELL? Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms. Some organisms, such as bacteria and some protists, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell. Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular, or have many cells—an estimated 100,000,000,000,000 cells! Each cell is an amazing world unto itself: it can take in nutrients, convert these nutrients into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce as necessary. Even more amazing is that each cell stores its own set of instructions for carrying out each of these activities. Prokaryotes = bacteria (primitive cells) Eukaryotes = animal, plant, fungi, protist cells

2 Cells vs. Viruses not cells

3 Cells Primitive cells = Complex cells = eubacteria, archaebacteria
animals, plants, fungi, protists

11 Protist Cells

12 sphere shaped - coccus rod shaped - bacillus Spiral shaped –spirochete or spirilla

13 Bacterial Cell

14 Eubacteria are the more common of the bacteria
Archaebacteria live in extreme environments and include methanogens, the halophiles and the themoacidophiles.
