  1. Living cells and their structure
    1. Cell Organelles
      1. Differences between plant and animals cells
        1. Plants
          1. Cell wall on outside of membrane to protect and give the cell its shape
            1. Have Chloroplasts present containing green chlorophyll pigment that absorbs light energy (site of photosynthesis)
              1. contain large vacuoles (storage)
            2. Major organelles structure and functions
              1. Nucleus
                1. control centre of the cell containing genetic material (DNA)
                2. Nucleolous (located in the nucleus)
                  1. site for production of RNA "messenger chemical that holds the instructions for the organelles. surrounded by a nuclear membrane with pores allowing RNA through
                  2. Mitochondria
                    1. site of cellular respiration "power stations" converting energy from food (photosynthesis) into readily usable for of ATP (energy molecule) - contains folded membranes increasing SA
                    2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
                      1. smooth

                          2. both: network of membranes forming channels and compartments in the cytoplasm
                          3. Golgi Apparatus
                            1. in charge of packaging chemicals into membrane sacks for either storage or secretion from the cell
                              1. Lysosomes
                                1. destroy/break down any foreign bodies in cell and rapidly digest dead contents (waste desposal)
                          4. Cell theory
                            1. All living things are made up of cells
                              1. all cells come from pre-existing cells
                              2. types of microscopes

                                    1. Virchow and Flemming clarified cell division --> all cells come from pre-existing cells
                                      1. Robert Hooke observed a piece of cork and noted "cell" type compartments
                                        1. Robert Brown discovered structures "organelles" in cells, noted the nucleus

                                      1. Cell Chemicals
                                        1. Identifying tests
                                          1. Glucose: tested by Benedict's solution (yellow or orange)

                                            2. Structure of Cell Membranes
                                              1. Two layers of phospholipids. molecules cling to each other in a line up with hydrophilic ends on outside, attracted to water solution in cytoplasm. Hydrophobic ends repelled, cling together inside the membrane. Other molecule in phospholipid bi-layer; proteins, carbohydrates serving purposes of receptors for messenger chemicals, identification markers identifying own cells from foreign invaders and helping chemicals through the membrane.
                                              2. Passive transport (uses no energy ATP)
                                                1. diffusion

                                                                              1. Herbivore: flat grinding teeth, long intestinal tract (longer time for digestion), Bacteria living in gut have enzymes to digest cellulose

                                                                                  1. Mammals: (humans) lungs contain alveoli to increase surface area, inside of lungs also moist allowing gases to dissolve and diffuse
                                                                                    1. insects: dont have lungs, has holes called spiracles allowing air to move through network of tubes (trachea) infiltrating the body. Efficient in small animals, not in larger ones
                                                                                      1. Fish: gas exchange occurs through feather like plates consisting of thousands of tiny filaments each filled with blood capillaries in which water flows over taking in oxygen. Blood flow in gills is opposite than flow of water making exchange more efficient.
                                                                                      2. Circulatory systems in animals

Blood is always flowing inside a blood vessel, pumped around by the heart. highly efficient keeping the blood flowing. guaranteeing a steady flow of nutrients, gasses and wastes between body cells and the outside environment
                                                                                          3. Gas exchange and transport in plants
