Cell Theory
The smallest unit of life is a cell.
Cells come from cells.
All living things come from cells.
Prokaryotic Cells
Most simple cell.
No internal compartments (organelles).
All bacteria are prokaryotic.
Live as single cells only…no combinations.
Eukaryotic Cells
The most complicated cells.
Can live in singles or multiples.
Contain compartments (organelles)
Everything but bacteria has eukaryotic cells.
Vesicles
Packets that move molecules around in the cell
Ribosomes
Make proteins.
Some are free-floating within the cell, some are connected to the Rough ER.
emergent properties
when the components of an organizm interact, they create new, complex functions.
