CELLS:
THERE ARE 2 MAIN TYPES OF cells are the basic units of life and make
up all living things
CELLS:
Has a nucleus - HUMAN CELLS
Doesn’t have a nucleus -
BACTERIA CELLS
Eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cells
Red and platelet cells :

Carry oxygen around the

body & the latter helps our
blood clot and form a scab to
heal an injury

There are over 200 different

cells in the human body

~Red blood cells

~white blood cells
~bone cell

~nerve cell

~leaf pore guard cells

~smooth muscle cells
~diatom
~platelets
~paramecium
~columnar epithelium
cells

PLATELETS HAVE NO

6 MOST VITAL FUNCTIONS Epithelial

PERFORMED BY A CELL

1. Structure and support

4 main
2. Growth Connective
types of Nerve
tissue
3. Transport cells

4. Energy production
5. Metabolism
6. reproduction
Muscle

DNA STANDS FOR:

Deoxyribonucleic
CELLS provide structure for the body, take
{dee-ok-see-ri-bo-new-klee-ik}
nutrients from food, convert those nutrients
into energy, and carry out specialised

EPITHELIAN functions.

Covers surfaces = 1. SKIN – 2.

BLOOD VESSELS – 3. ORGANS

DEFINITION : They are a thin

continuous protective layer of
compactly packed cells with a little
intercellular matrix

FUNCTIONS :
Protection
Secretion
Absorption
Execution
Filtration
Diffusion
Sensory reception

HEAT, ENERGY & TEMPERATURE

TEMPERATURE
MEASURES
HOW ENERG
HEAT DEFINITION MOVES AND Describes the average
FLOWS kinetic energy of molecules
Transfer of thermal energy within a material or system
between molecules within a & is measured in
system and is measured in
Joules Celsius - C

Kelvin - K
SIMILARITIES
Fahrenheit – F

HEAT is a transfer of thermal energy caused Rankine – R

MEASURABLE PHYSICAL
by a difference in Temperature between
PROPERTY OF AN OBJECT
molecules
(AKA STATE VARIABLE) THERS A DIFF
BETWEEN TEMP
OTHERS INCLUDE: AND THERES A DIFF
Velocity THERMAL ENERGY

Mass THERMAL ENERGY : Refers to the energy contained within a system that
Density is responsible for its temperature.
°°° HEAT is the flow of thermal energy
( just a few ) (more heat = temp - )

EXAMPLE: An ice cube Temperature: Measures the AVERAGE kinetic

Being dropped in water. Energy of the particles in a substance

THE ICE CUBE MUST GAIN Thermal energy: Measures the TOTAL kinetic energy of the

HEAT particles in a substance

(thermal energy)

From the water in the bowl. Adding thermal energy increases kinetic energy of the ice molecule,
increasing the temperature
The ice will continue to gain thermal energy causing its molecules to move faster and eventually
break their intermolecular bonds or ‘melt’.
