    Cell As A Unit of Life (Science Form 1 - Short Notes)

    Uploaded by

    jrpyro
    This document summarizes key characteristics of animal and plant cells. It discusses that cells are the basic unit of life and come in two types - animal and plant cells. Animal cells have irregular shapes while plant cells have regular shapes. Both cell types contain a nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. However, plant cells also contain a cell wall, chloroplasts, starch granules, and cell sap within vacuoles. The document also distinguishes between unicellular and multicellular organisms and explains how cells organize into tissues, organs, and body systems to form the human body.

    CHAPTER 2: CELL AS A UNIT OF LIFE  Characteristics & functions of each animal cells’ parts: -

    CELLS Cell Part Characteristic Function


    - Support the cell
     Basic unit of living thing. Thick layer of cellulose
    Cell Wall - Maintain the shape of
     Differ in size, shape & function. around cell membrane
    cell
     2 types: - Animal cells & Plant cells.
    Controls what goes in &
    Cell Membrane Thin layer around the cell
    ANIMAL CELLS out of cell
    Consists of nucleus & Has the functions of
     Variable / irregular shapes. Protoplasm
    cytoplasm nucleus & cytoplasm
     General structure: - Place where chemical
    Watery, jelly-like &
    Cytoplasm process (metabolism)
    colourless mixture in cell
    occurred
    Controls all of activities
    Nucleus Contains chromosomes
    in cell
    - Cell sap contains water
     Characteristics & functions of each animal cells’ parts: - that dissolves sugar &
    Cell Part Characteristic Function Large space that contains salt
    Vacuoles
    Thin layer around the Controls what goes in & cell sap - Cell sap makes cell firm
    Cell Membrane (taking water) or makes
    cell out of cell
    cell wilt (losing water)
    Consists of nucleus & Has the functions of
    Protoplasm Chlorophyll traps light
    cytoplasm nucleus & cytoplasm Tiny discs shape that
    Chloroplast energy to make food
    Watery, jelly-like & Place where chemical contain chlorophyll
    colourless mixture in process (metabolism) (photosynthesize)
    Cytoplasm
    cell occurred Tiny grains of starch in
    Starch Granules Represent stored food
    cytoplasm
    Contains Controls all of activities
    Nucleus
    chromosomes in cell
    Small but numerous Stores water, liquids & SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANIMAL & PLANT
    Vacuoles
    tiny spaces food particles CELLS

    PLANT CELLS  Similarities of both cells: -


    - Have nuclei.
     Regular / fixed shapes - Have cell membranes.
     General structure: - - Have cytoplasm.
     Differences between both cells: -
    - Plant cells have cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts, starch
    granules, cell sap (in vacuoles).
    - Vacuoles in plant cells are larger compared to animal
    cells.
    - Plant cells have fixed shapes while animal cells have
    variable shape.
    UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS
     Made up of one cell only.
     Example: Amoeba, bacterium, euglena, paramecium, yeast.
     Very tiny & can only be seen under microscope.
     Most of unicellular organisms are microorganisms.

    MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
     Made up of more than one cell.
     Example: Earthworm, hydra, spirogyra
     Various in sizes. Some are tiny & can only be seen under
    microscope while others are big & clearly visible.

    CELLS, TISSUES, ORGANS & SYSTEMS IN THE HUMAN BODY


     Organization of cells in human body:
    Cells Tissues Organs Systems Human
     Tissue is made up of groups / layer of similar cells. Every cell
    in a tissue performs the same types of function.
     Organ is made up of groups of different types of tissues.
    Different types of tissues perform different functions.
     Body system is made up of various types of organs that working
    together to perform a main body function.
