 CELL
7

• Cell- a discrete unit of life

•Molecular biology- study of

molecules in cells
Cells as reactors

•Metabolism- processes by
which organisms use nutrients

•Anabolism- building tissues

from smaller materials

•Catabolism- breaking down

materials into smaller
components
 Classification of Living Systems

 Cell Type
 Plant, Animal & Protists (microorganisms)
 Unicellular organism- organism of one cell
 Multi-cellular organism- organism of many cells
 Prokaryote- cells that lack specific nucleus
 Eukaryote- cells with well-defined nucleus

 Classification of Protists
• Prokaryotes
• Eukaryotes
 Components of Cell

Proteins
Nucleic Acid
Lipids & Membranes
Carbohydrates
Cell wall
 The Hierarchy
of biological
structure
Cells are building
blocks:
Tissue- collection of
cells with specific
functions
Organs- collections of
tissues with specific
functions
Organ systems-
collections of organs with
specific functions
