Cells – Key Ideas• Unicellular organisms perform the same basic functions as
multicellular organisms• Cells are specialized to carry out specific functions• Cells are generally more efficient when they work together to
perform a specific function• Cells in the human body are organized into tissues• Groups of tissues are organized into organs. • Groups of organs are reffered to as organ systems• Some diseases are caused when cells are invaded by microscopic
living things• Your health depends on how well your cell systems work together

Unicellular Organisms•Many organisms are composed of just ONE cell•These are called micro-organisms or microbes•These single cells are also responsible for feeding, digesting, excreting, and reproducing
![Page 10: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
The Importance of Micro-organismsNot all cause diseaseSome are useful to create foods that we like such as cheese and yogurtWe have many micro-organisms in our bodies that are either harmless or beneficial
![Page 11: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Protists (fig.4 p45)
• Protists – a unicellular organisms that are neither plant nor animal; is a eukaryotic cell
• Anywhere there is water you will find protists
![Page 13: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Plant-Like Protists - Diatoms
• found in both fresh water and salt water
• Contain chlorophyll
![Page 14: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Plant-Like Protists - Euglena
• Similar to both plant and animal cells
• Can feed upon smaller cells
![Page 15: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Animal-Like Protists - Amoeba
• Changes its shape as it moves
• It moves by stretching out a branch of cytoplasm called a pseudopod
• Pseudopod is anchored to an object and the rest of the amoeba is dragged towards it
• Pseudopod is also used to eat
![Page 16: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Animal-Like Protists - Paramecia
• Cilia help move it
• Cilia beat to create a current that draws food into its mouth
• Eats bacteria and other small cells
![Page 17: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

2.3 – The Need For Cell
DivisionWhy The Split?
![Page 20: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Is Smaller Better?• The bigger a cell is, the longer messages take
to reach the nucleus, or for the rest of the cell to receive instructions
• Cells must be small for information to travel quickly
• See fig.1 p.49
![Page 21: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Is Smaller Better?• Small cells are needed so waste can be
removed quickly and nutrients received quickly
• Cells that do a lot of work are usually smaller so that the nutrients and wastes can enter or leave more quicker
![Page 22: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2.4- Cell Specialization
![Page 23: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Cell SpecializationMulticellular organisms benefit from cell specializationCell Specialization – the development of cells to perform a specific function
![Page 24: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Specialized Plant CellsThin-walled plant cells are found in the flexible tissues of leaves, flowers etc..
![Page 25: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Specialized Plant CellsThick-walled plant cells are specialized for support
Thick cell walls are stretchable and flexible
E.g. celery stalk
![Page 26: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Specialized Plant CellsVery thick-walled cells provide rigid support
Cell usually dies because cell walls are too thick for nutrients to pass in and out of
E.g tree trunk
![Page 27: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Specialized Animal Cells – Nerve Tissue
Conduct electrical signals in the body
Tend to be long and thin
Coated by fatty material
![Page 28: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Respiratory CellsLung Cells are very thin- Why?
Some cells produce mucus
Mucus – a slippery substance that coats the cells lining the cavities open to the air
Mucus traps particles that enters the lungs
Cilia move the particles and mucus out
![Page 29: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

30
Stomach tissueCells are covered by mucus to protect them from the strong acid
Cells have many Golgi Apparatuses to produce and store the proteins that break down food
![Page 31: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Fat TissueMost of the cyctoplasm is occupied by vacuoles
Nutirents are converted to fat and stored in the cells
![Page 32: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Small IntestineAbsorb nutrients from food
Finger-like projections called villi – increase surface area for absorption
![Page 33: Unit A – Cells and Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e47550346895dccbccd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
