1. LIVING THINGS and THEIR PARTS GPS Unit 2
Biochemistry
Characteristics of Life, Cell Theory, and Cells
2. How can I tell if something is living?
Living things share certain traits
There are 8 key characteristics that all living things must have.
3. Features of Living Things 1. All living things reproduce
--REPRODUCE ? to form offspring similar to
the parent
--Ways to reproduce:
1. asexualonly 1 parent needed
2. sexual2 parents are needed
4. Features of Living Things 2. All living things grow
Grow ? to change in size
3. All living things develop
Develop ? changes that occur as a living
thing grows
develops into a
tadpole frog
5. Features of Living Things 4. All living things need food
a. consumerseat other living things
b. producersmake their own food
5. All living things use ENERGY
--ENERGYthe ability to do work
--CELLULAR RESPIRATIONthe process in which food is broken down and turned into energy
6. Features of Living Things 6. All living things are made of CELLS
--CELLSthe basic unit of all living things
--Types of Cells:
1. prokaryoticno nucleus, unicellular
2. eukaryotichas a nucleus & organelles, multicellular
animal cell plant cell
7. Features of Living Things 7. All living things aim for HOMEOSTASIS
--HOMEOSTASIS ? your body changes to the
environment to keep it in balance
--example: when you are hot, you sweat
when you are cold, you shiver
8. Features of Living Things 8. All living things adapt to their environment
--ADAPTATION ? a trait that makes a
living thing better able to survive
--example: a polar bear having white fur
a duck having webbed feet
9. CELLS Stem cells
blood cells
animal cell
plant cells
How were cells discovered?
10. CELLS Cells were discovered because of MICROSCOPES!
1. Compound Microscope
2. Electron Microscope
3. Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)
4. Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM)
11. MICROSCOPES A microscope is used to magnify and object by a large amount
compound microscope electron microscope
12. WHO DISCOVERED THE CELL? Several scientists made discoveries:
1. Robert Hookenamed the cell
2. Mathias Schledienobserved all plants were made of cells
3. Theodore Schwainobserved all animals were made of cells
13. CELL THEORY 1. All living things are made of cells
2. All cells come from other cells
3. Cells are the basic units of living
things
14. CELL ORGANELLES Plant and animal cells have most of the same organelles but some differ
