Lesson 1: Building Blocks of Life - Cells and Tissues

Welcome to Lesson 1 of our biology journey! Today, we're diving into the remarkable world of cells and
tissues, the building blocks of all living things. Get ready to discover the incredible complexity that forms
the basis of life itself.

1. Cells: The Tiny Powerhouses

Imagine cells as the tiniest living units that

make up everything around us, including plants,
animals, and even you! They're like the bricks

that construct the amazing structures of life.

Cells come in various shapes and sizes, but they
all share some common parts:

Cell Membrane

Think of this as the cell's

protective barrier, like a
gatekeeper. It allows
certain substances to enter
and exit, ensuring the cell stays
healthy.

Nucleus

This is like the control

center of the cell. It holds
the cell's genetic
information, which acts
as a blueprint for how
the cell functions and
grows.
