1.What are the advantages of an organism
that is made up of many cells?
 Advantages: specialized cells
increase capability of organism, more
complex.
Disadvantages: require more energy
A. The Discovery of the Cell
Cells are the basic unit of structure and
function and in living things.
Cell Theory states that:
– All living things are composed of cells.
– Cells are the basic units of structure and
function in living things.
– All cells come from preexisting cells.

a window screen? Why is it important to keep
these things from moving through the screen?
3. The cell is surrounded by a cell membrane,
which regulates what enters and leaves the cell.

– Diffusion
– Osmosis
– Facilitated Diffusion
– Active Transport
C. Diffusion Through Cell Boundaries
When molecules of a substance move from an
area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration until equilibrium is reached
– Concentration – mass of solute in a given volume of
solution
12 grams of salt in 3 Liters of water  12g/3 L or 4 g/L salt
solution
70% salt solution  70% salt / 30% water
– Equilibrium – same concentration on both sides of the
membrane
C. Diffusion Through Cell Boundaries
Depends on random particle movements
Substances diffuse across membranes without
the use of energy
Simple diffusion
lipid-soluble molecules
(O2, CO2, H2O)
(extracellular fluid)
(cytoplasm)

D. Osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules through a
selectively permeable membrane from an
area of high water concentration to an
area of low water concentration
Vital to the survival of the cell

Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
are forms of passive transport
PASSIVE TRANSPORT – cell transport that
does not require the cell to use energy
F. Active Transport
Movement of substances across the cell
membrane against the concentration
difference  from an area of low
concentration to an area of high
concentration
Requires the use of energy (ATP)

F. Active Transport
Sodium-Potassium Pump – moves sodium
ions out of cells and potassium ions into
cells against the concentration difference
Proton Pumps – move protons across cell
membranes causing a large number of
protons to accumulate on one side of the
membrane
F. Active Transport
Movements of the cell membrane require
energy
– Endocytosis – process of bringing particles
into a cell using extensions of the cell
membrane
Pinocytosis “cell drinking”
Phagocytosis “cell eating”
– Exocytosis – material within sacs inside the
cell is discharged from the cell

From Simple to More Complex
Many multicellular organisms have structures called
organs that have a specific function and work with other
organs. Working together, these organs carry out the
life processes of the entire organism.
1. Some activities cannot be performed by only one
person, but need a team of people. What type of
activity requires a team of people to work together in
order to complete a task?
2. What do you think are some characteristics of a
successful team?
3. How is a multicellular organism similar to a
successful team?

Are composed of cells
Reproduce
Contain DNA
Grow and develop
Obtain and use materials and energy
Respond to their environment
Maintain a stable internal environment
Change over time
However, ALL living things are NOT the same.
