Structural and functional unit in living organism
Cell
Organic Molecules
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids
Inorganic Molecules
Water (Unique properties), Mineral Salts
Peptidoglycan
Give bacterial cell shape and rigidity
Prokaryotes (Bacteria)
Unicellular
Eukaryotes (Four Domains)
Multicellular and simple unicellular
Protista
Unicellular or Simple multicellular
Golden Algae (Protista)
Autotrophic (can make their own food)
Protozoa
Heterotrophic (depend on another organism)
Yeast (Fungi)
Unicellular
Fungi except yeast (yeast is unicellular)
Multicellular
Protozoa (Protista), Fungi and animals
Heterotrophic
Golden algae and plants
Autotrophic
Animal Cell
Chitin
Fungi cell wall
Cellulose
Plant cell wall
Invertebrates (No backbone)
Sponges, Coelenterate (Jellyfish) Worms, Arthropods (Insects), Mollusks (Clams), Echinoderms (Starfish)
Vertebrates (Backbone)
Humans (at the top), Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals
70% body mass is water that is involved in most biochemical activities
47% inside the cell and 23% outside the cell in blood plasma and other body fluids
Thick wall present in bacteria, plants and fungi
Cell Wall
Cell Membrane or Plasma Membrane (All organisms)
Thin semi-permeable membrane surrounds the cell.
Gel like substance presents in all living cell and contain all the necessary chemicals
Cytoplasm
Control center in the cell that control all the cell activities and contain genetic mateiral
Nucleus
Part in plant cell only and contain chlorophyll
Chloroplasts that perform photosynthesis through plastids
Found in large numbers and small sized in animals and few and located at the center of the plant cell
Vacoules (Store food, water and excess salt)
Found in all eukaryotes
Mitochondira and endoplasmic reticulum
Energy production center in the cell
Mitochondira
Group of membranes that transport various materials from one place to another inside the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
Metabolism
divided into catabolism (breaking molecules) and anabolism (building molecules)
Catabolism
Breaking molecules and release energy for biological processes.
Breakdown glucose sugar during cellular respiration into carbon dioxide and water.
Catabolism
Anabolism
Building molecules which require energy (absorb energy)
Photosynthesis (Building glucose molecules)
Anabolism
Synthesis of proteins from amino acids
Anabolism
Slow biological processes are accelerated by substance in the living organism body which is called
Enzyme (which is a protein)
Protein inside the cell that accelerate biological processes
Enzyme (which is a protein)
Enzyme lower the
Activation energy
Activation energy
the minimum amount of energy required to start chemical reaction.
(Key and lock mechanism) Enzymes are specialized proteins
The active site of the enzyme binds specifically to the substance it affects (the substrate), which helps reactants convert into products more efficiently.
Enzymes
At the end of the reaction, the enzyme remains unchanged, ready to catalyze another reaction of the same type.
Enzymes
called catalysts or activators
Each enzyme has optimum pH and temperature
If the pH or the temperature changed the enzyme activity decreases
Cytoplasm composed mainly of
Water
