Samantha Caggiano's Blog

Today in class we had a sub. He left use a packet to read and answer questions on the back. So we had to read the article and take notes about it.
Notes-
  • Cells are amazing, variable, beauitiful, functionally superd, a consept of genious; they work alone or in groups with equal ease.
  • Cells are the basic unit of life, all living things, -------- are made up of one or more cells.
  • Organisms that exists as single cells are called multi-cellular.
  • All living things are divided into two major groups depending on how their cells are set up, these two groups are Prokaryotes, and the Eukaryotes.
  • Eukaryotes have areas inside the cell separated off from the rest of the cell by membranes, like the cell membrane.
  • Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, mitocondria or any other membrane bound organalles.
  • All the Prokaryotes (bacteria and Archaea) are unicellular, only Eukaryotes: - the protista, some Fungi and some Plants are multi- cellular.

Small Cells------- Big Organisms

  • Most cells are tiny, too small to be seen with the naked eye, yet we can easily see the trees and elephants ect.

What is a cell-

  • The simplest answer is that a cell is a container, like a box or a bottle or a jar.
  • It has an inside and outside, and something like a wall in between to let us know where the outside begins and the inside ends.

Not finished do not grade still more to write
