  1. The Organization of Life Ms Shader

  2. Cell Theory • All organisms are made of one or more cells • The cell is the basic unit of life in all living things (carries out all life activities) • All cells come from existing cells.

  3. The Organization of Living Things: • Cells • Tissues • Organs • Organ systems • Organisms

  4. So What? • An adult human male has approximately 100 trillion (100,000,000,000,000) cells. • How many different kinds of cells can you think of? • An ostrich egg is the largest cell. • There are about 5 million red blood cells in 1 mL of blood

  5. Tissues • Tissue – a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific task. • Examples: red blood cells, fat cells, nerve cells, muscle cells

  6. Organs • Organ – a group of tissues working together to perform a specific job in the body

  7. Organ Systems • A group of organs working together to perform a specific job in the body.

  8. Organisms • Organisms – anything that can live on its own • Unicellular – one cell, may live independently or in colonies. ex. Protozoa, bacteria. • Multicellular – more than one cell (usually millions). Cells are usually specialized and would die if removed from the organism. Ex. Dog, tree, grasshopper, human

  9. Organism Interactions • Population – A group of the same kind of or organisms living in an area using the same resources. • Community – all of the living things living in an area using the same resources. • Ecosystem – all of the living and nonliving things in an area.

  11. Cell Organelles (Just like organs, but a lot smaller)

  12. Nucleus • Control center of the cell • Controls all of the cell’s activities • Contains DNA

  13. Nucleolus • Located in the nucleus • Stores RNA that will be used to make ribosomes

  14. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) • Looks like flattened tubes • Transports proteins to different parts of cell • Makes lipids • Breaks down drugs and toxins

  15. Ribosome • Links amino acids together to make proteins • ‘Reads’ RNA instructions from nucleus. • Located attached to outside of E.R. • http://www.dnai.org/a/index.html

  16. Golgi Complex • Packs up proteins to be shipped outside of cell. • Also receives packets of proteins into the cell. • a.k.a. golgi apparatus,

  17. Lysosome http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olc/dl/120067/bio01.swf • Contains enzymes • Digest food • Break down waste • Destroy foreign invaders

  18. Vacuole • Stores water and other nutrients • Large in plant cells • Helps plant cells keep their shape

  19. Cytoplasm • “soupy” part of cell inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus • Place where all chemical activities take place. • 70% water • Contains all organelles except nucleus and nucleolus

  20. Cell membrane • Barrier between cell and surroundings • Controls what enters and leaves cell • Protects cell • Keeps cytoplasm inside cell • http://telstar.ote.cmu.edu/biology/downloads/membranes/index.html

  21. Cell wall • Nonliving material that surrounds plant cells • Helps plant cells keep their shape • Supports cell • Made of cellulose Cell wall

  22. Chloroplast • Found only in plants and algae • Makes food using energy from sun • Photosynthesis • 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Contains Chlorophyll – green pigment that traps sunlight Carbon dioxide + water  sugar + oxygen

  23. Mitochondria • Combines food and oxygen to release energy in cellular respiration. • C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy • Provides energy for all cell’s activities • Makes ATP • Active cells may have 1,000+ mitochondria
