Document Summary

Smallest unit of organization that can perform all activities required for life. Every cell is enclosed by a membrane- regulates passage of materials between cell and its surroundings. Prokaryotic= single-celled microorganisms (ie. bacteria and archaea) Eukaryotic=contains membrane-enclosed organelles: all plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, larger than prokaryotic. Each time cell divides, dna is replicated and each of 2 cellular offspring inherits set of chromosomes identical to parent cell. Genetic info encoded by dna directs our development. Genes provide blueprints for making proteins: proteins build and maintain cells and carry out their activities. Sequence of nucleotides along a gene is transcribed into rna, which is then translated into amino acids (protein building blocks) Gene expression= info in a gene directs the manufacture of a cellular product. Biologists have identified and named 1. 8 million species. 3 domains of life: prokarya, eukarya, archaea. Kingdoms in domain eukarya: kingdom plantae, kingdom fungi, kingdom animalia.
