Life likely originated in water, possibly in small pools with varying conditions.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
The smallest distance at which two points can be seen as distinct is about 0.1 mm.
Interactions occur at the cell boundary, allowing material exchange and environmental response.
It protects the cell's contents and regulates substance passage.
Unicellular organisms consist of one cell, while multicellular organisms are made up of many cells.
It swells due to water moving into the cells through osmosis.
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
It has a higher solute concentration compared to the cell's interior.
It describes the cell membrane's structure as a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope.
They help substances pass through the membrane, acting as gatekeepers.
Provides rigidity and structural support.
Plant cells have a cell wall; animal cells do not.
They lose water but maintain shape due to the cell wall.
Well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Sites of protein synthesis.
Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.
Cellulose.
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
They shrink significantly due to water loss.
Break down waste materials and damaged organelles.
A semi-fluid substance containing organelles.
It shrinks as the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall.
Regulates material transfer between nucleus and cytoplasm.
Rough ER and Smooth ER.
To maximize space for hemoglobin.
Provides structural support and enables movement.
