| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organism | a complete living thing |
| cell | the smallest living thing; a tiny unit of living material surrounded by a thin membrane |
| unicellular organisms | tiny organisms made of only one cell |
| multicellular organisms | made of more than one cell |
| tissue | a group of similar cells working together |
| colonial organisms | made of many cells that usually live together but could live by themselves |
| energy | the ability to do work |
| physical life | a complex organization of nonliving substances that is kept alive by using energy and has the characteristics of living things |
| characteristics of living things | movement, reproduce, sensitive to their environment, nutrition, excrete, respire, grow |
| the discovery of the cell | 1665, English scientist, Robert Hooke |
| The Cell Theory | 1) All cells come from preexisting cells 2) All living things are made of cells and the products of cells 3) The functions of living things are carried on by cells |
| Four basic functions of cells | use energy, respond to the environment, reproduce, manufacture materials |
| molecules | structures that make up cells; they are not alive |
| Four categories of molecules | carbohydrates, proteins, lipids (fats), nucleic acids |
| carbohydrates | made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms |
| proteins | are involved in almost everything that happens in a living cell; made of amino acids |
| nucleic acids | contain all the instructions that living cells need to make proteins and maintain life; example DNA |
| lipids | AKA fats; used for energy storage and making cell membranes |
