A1. Basic Biological Principles
1. Describe the characteristics of life shared by all prokaryotic
and eukaryotic organisms
2. Compare cellular structures and their function in prokaryotic
and eukaryotic organisms
3. Describe and interpret relationships between structure and
function at the various levels of biological organization
(organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms)
4. Define, describe and give examples of the various types of
cells – prokaryotic vs eukaryotic, plant vs animal

Characteristics of Life
• Grow and Reproduce
• Obtain and use materials for energy
• Maintain a stable internal environment
(homeostasis)
• Respond to the environment
Characteristics of Life
1. Cells are the basic unit of structure and
function in living things
2. All living things are made of cells
3. New cells are produced from existing cells
Characteristics of Life
•
•
•
•
Have DNA (genetic material)
Have a cell membrane (barrier)
Have cytoplasm (fluid)
Have ribosomes which make proteins
– Proteins are essential for the function of ALL cells
• Grow, reproduce, obtain and use materials,
maintain homeostasis and respond to the
environment
Characteristics of Life
Think about it…
• What does the word theory mean to scientists?
• What might it mean to a person who is not a
scientist?
• What does the cell theory state? (3 things)
Quick Check/Review
• In science, a theory is a well-tested explanation
that unifies a broad range of observations and
hypotheses and enable scientists to make
accurate predictions about new situations.
• How does the cell theory demonstrate this
definition of a theory?
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
•
•
•
•
•
•
NO nucleus
NO specialized cell structure (organelles)
DNA found in cytoplasm
Small and simple cells
All prokaryotes are UNICELLULAR (single-celled)
a.k.a. bacteria
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
Notice
• Ribosomes
• DNA not contained
in nucleus
• Pila and flagella for
movement
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
•
•
•
•
•
DNA in nucleus
Specialized cell structures (organelles)
Larger and more complex cells
Eukaryotes can be uni- or multi-cellular
a.k.a. plants, animals, fungi, protists
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
Notice
• Increased
complexity
• Bigger in size
• DNA in nucleus
• Cellular structures
Homework for tonight…
• You will need your textbook
• For each cell part listed in your notes, describe
the function (what does it do, what is it’s “job”)
• If you can, draw a picture of what each cell part
looks like
• Get started now…
Think about it…
• A cell is made up of many parts with different
functions that work together.
• In the same way, the parts of a computer work
together to carry out different functions.
• What might happen if one part of a computer
stopped working?
Cell Structure and Function
–
–
–
–
Also called the plasma membrane
Phospholipid bilayer
Selectively permeable boundary
Regulates the movement of material into and out
of the cell
Cell Structure and Function
Cell Structure and Function
– Manufacture proteins
– Found in all cells
• Evidence of the importance of proteins to ALL cells
Cell Structure and Function
– Fluid component of cells
– Provide structure, support and stability
– Aids in movement of material throughout cell
– Found in all cells
Cell Structure and Function
– Contains the DNA in eukaryotic cells
Cell Structure and Function
– Found alongside nucleus
– Rough ER contains ribosomes; protein synthesis
– Smooth ER does not contain ribosomes; membrane
lipid synthesis and drug detoxification
Cell Structure and Function
– Receives proteins from ER
– Modifies, sorts and packages proteins for delivery
Cell Structure and Function
– Transport material such as proteins throughout cell
Cell Structure and Function
– Storage facilities
– In plants, a LARGE CENTRAL VACUOLE fills with
water to maintain structure
• When a plant goes without water, the central vacuole
empties and plant wilts
– In animals, several smaller vesicles
– In freshwater protists, a contractile vacuole helps
pump water out of cell
Cell Structure and Function
Cell Structure and Function
– Contain enzymes
– Digest large molecules, old cell parts, things that DO
NOT belong in the cell
– “recycling center”
Cell Structure and Function
– Found only in animal cells
– Help organize cell division (???)
Cell Structure and Function
– Maintains shape of cell
– Aids in movement of cell and movement of
organelles
Cell Structure and Function
– Found in plant cells and some photosynthetic
protists
– Convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose)
Cell Structure and Function
– Converts chemical energy (food) into useful cellular
energy (ATP)
Cell Structure and Function
– Plant cells and prokaryotes
– Rigid support and protection for cell
Organization of Multicellular Life
– Organelles (cell structures with specialized functions
– Cell (basic unit of life)
– Tissue (a group of cells)
– Organ (a group of tissues)
– Organ system (a group of organs)
– Organism
Organization of Multicellular Life
– Cells develop in different ways to perform different
functions
• Ex: pancreatic cells produce proteins and are therefore
loaded with ribosomes and rough ER
• Ex: liver cells remove toxins from blood and are loaded
with smooth ER
• Ex: muscle cells require a lot of energy and are loaded
with mitochondria
