Understanding cell biology: the components and the processes. Smallest form of life is a cell. Each protein encoded by a specific gene. Source of energy in plants and animals (photosynthesis and cellular respiration) Number of genes (varies from 500 to 31000) In the end all of our energy originates from the sun. 3 kingdoms of life: bacteria and 2. Archaea (prokaryotes, common ancestor is fes: eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, their dna + ribosomes + proteins + sugars etc. float around in the cell, they are not membrane-bound.

Organelles to be discussed: nucleus, membrane, nuclear pores, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria.
