    This document discusses the basic characteristics of cells. It defines an organism as any living thing and a cell as the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. It describes the key components of cells including the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and describes the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It also distinguishes between unicellular organisms that contain only one cell, and multicellular organisms made up of multiple cells.

    Module A Unit 1 Lesson 1 - The Characteristics of Cells

    Organism: any living thing


    CELL: the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms

    Cell membrane
    A protective layer that covers and acts as a barrier between the inside and the cells environment
    Cytoplasm: all material within the cell membrane- NOT including the nucleus

    Nucleus: the membrane bound organelle that contains the DNA


    Prokaryotic a single celled organism that does not have a nucleus or
    membrane bound organelles its DNA is located in the cytoplasm
    No Nucleus, DNA distributed in cytoplasm.
    Eukaryotic an organism that contain their DNA in a nucleus eukaryotic cells contain membrane
    bound organelles as well as ribosomes

    Unicellular living organisms, have only one cell such as protozoa, bacteria

    Multicellular living organisms have multiple of cell (billions) of cells such as human, animals etc
