Cell Theory Review Functions of Life

Cells are the basic unit of

structure and function of all
living things.

Cells are the smallest unit of

life.

All cells come from other cells

by reproduction (division of
one cell into two).
Analogy: Human Bodies compared to Cells
Human bodies are alive. Cells are alive.

Human bodies have organs and organ systems Inside cells there are smaller structures called
inside them. organelles.

Organs do certain jobs that contribute to Organelles do certain jobs that contribute to
keeping the human body alive. keeping the cell alive.

Each organ has a certain shape or structure Each organelle has a certain shape or structure
that helps it do its job well. that helps it do its job well.

Example: the organs in the digestive system Example: cells that form the inside of the

have structures or abilities that help them do digestive system have a cell membrane with lots
of space to let nutrients into the body.
their job well: stomachs have muscles to crush
food, and other organs make enzymes to break
down food chemically.
Structures found in ALL cells
Cell membrane (a boundary between the cell and the environment)

Ribosomes (structures that make proteins)

DNA (genetic material)

RIBOSOMES
Cytoplasm

Domains of Living Things

Two types of cells:
Prokaryotes
These are also sometimes called
bacteria.
These smaller cells have only the
structures listed in the last slide.
They are living things made of only
one cell (they are unicellular).
Eukaryotes
These larger cells have the
structures listed in the last slide
and many other structures,
including a nucleus.
Many of the organelles inside
eukaryotes have a membrane
around them. They are called
“membrane-bound organelles”.
Many types of Eukaryotes
Protoctista: Animals, Plants, Fungi
these living things (organisms) are made of these living things (organisms) are made of
only ONE cell: they are unicellular many cells: they are multicellular

Include Protists and Algae (except there are some fungi that are unicellular,
like yeast that we use for baking)

(repeated from slide 5) (additional parts)

Cell membrane Nucleus Centriole

(it has DNA in it)
Ribosomes Cytoskeleton
Nucleolus
DNA (actually, this is Mitochondrion
a molecule, not an Cell wall
Chloroplast
organelle, but it’s Endoplasmic
important!) reticulum (rough Vacuole
and smooth)
Cytoplasm Vesicle, lysosome,
Golgi apparatus peroxisome
