The document outlines the key organelles found within plant and animal cells and their functions. It describes the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and lysosomes. The nucleus controls most cell activities and contains DNA. The mitochondria produce energy for the cell and are abundant in muscle cells. Plant cells contain organelles like chloroplasts and vacuoles not found in animal cells.
Cells are the basis of life—the basic structural unit of living things. Molecules such as water and amino acids are not alive but cells are! All life is comprised of cells of one type or another.
One of the hallmarks of living systems is the ability to maintain homeostasis, or a relatively constant internal state. The cell is the first level of complexity able to maintain homeostasis, and it is the unique structure of the cell that enables this critical function.
In this section of the course, you will learn about the cell and all the parts that make it functional. You will also focus on the cell membrane, which is the structure that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the external environment. It is a critical component because it controls what can enter and exit the cell. This section will also describe how cells reproduce to maintain homeostasis.Cells are the basis of life—the basic structural unit of living things.
