3. Living things
• All living things have three things in
common.
• These three things are called life
processes:
– Nutrition.
– Reproduction.
– Interaction with the enviroment.
6. • Food is used to provide energy
and to build new structures.
• Plants make their own food
using sunlight. They are called
Autotrophs.
• Animals eat plants or other
animals. That is why they are
called Heterotrophs.
8. • They are able to produce
new living things.
• There are two basic
types:
– Asexual: involves one living
thing.
– Sexual: involves two living
things of different sexes.
Each one provides a sexual
cell called gamete.
10. • All living things respond to
changes. Living things notice
changes in their surroundings
and react to them.
• Eg. Plants grow towards the
light.
• Eg. People react to the
temperature around them.
14. • The molecules which make up living matter are
called Biomolecules.
• The atoms that form these biomolecules are
C, H, O and N, mainly.
• There are two types of biomolecules:
– Inorganic: water and mineral salts.
– Organic: lipids, glucides, proteins and nucleic acids.
16. WHAT ARE CELLS?
• Cells are the smallest unit of life. They
are the structural and functional units
for all living things.
– All living things are made up of one or more
cells.
– Cells carry out the three life processes.
– Cells come from other cells.
18. Parts of a Cell
• The Cell Membrane covers the hole cell.
• The Cytoplasm is the inside of the cell.
It is a jelly-like substance. Organelles
are small structures in the cytoplasm,
and they are responsible for different
functions.
• The Nucleous: controls how cells work
and contains the hereditary information.
It is not in all cells types.
20. Prokaryotic Cells
• Are simpler: have
less types of
organelles.
• Have no nucleous.
• The genetic material
is dispersed in the
cytoplasm.
• Bacteria are made
up of prokaryotic
cells.
21. Eukaryotic Cells
• Have a nucleous, with a
nuclear membrane.
• The genetic material is
inside the nucleous.
• Are complex: have more
types of organelles.
• Animals, plants, fungi,
algae and protozoa are
made up of eukaryotic
cells.
22. ACTIVITY 3. PROKARYOTIC OR EUKARYOTIC CELL?
1. Has less organeles, is simpler
2. Has a nucleous
3. Genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm
4. They are found in bacteria
5. Has a lot of organelles, is complex
6. They are found in animals, fungi, plants, protozoa and algae

26. • Living things can be
classified into two
different groups:
– Unicellular: living
things that have only
one cell.
– Multicellular: living
things that have
many different cells.
27. Multicellular Organisation
• In multicellular living things, there are
different levels of complexity:
– Tissues are groups of cells wiyh the same function.
Example: epitelial tissue (the skin), made up of
epitelial cells.
28.
29. – Organs: are groups of various tissues which act
together.
Example: a muscle is an organ made up of muscle
tissue, nerve tissue, epitelial tissue and blood
tissue.
30. • Systems: are made up of several organs, of the same or
different type.
Examples: the muscular system is made up of muscles.
the digestive system includes different organs.
33. • Scientist classify all living things into five kingdoms,
by three criteria:
– Type of cells.
– How cells are grouped.
– Type of nutrition.
34. • Monera Kingdom:
– Unicellular prokaryotic organisms.
– Autotrophs or heterotrophs.
Bacteria and Cyanobacteria.
35. • Protoctist Kingdom:
– Unicellular and multicellular.
– Eukaryotic Cells.
– They have no tissues.
– Autotrophs or heterotrophs.
Algae and Protozoa.
36. • Fungi Kingdom:
– Unicellular and multicellular.
– Eukaryotic Cells.
– They have no tissues.
– Heterotrophs.
Yeasts, Moulds, Mushrooms.
37. • Plant Kingdom:
– Multicellular.
– Eukaryotic Cells.
– They have tissues.
– Autotrophs.
Mosses, Ferns, Flowering Plants.
38. • Animal Kingdom:
– Multicellular.
– Eukaryotic Cells.
– They have tissues.
– Heterotrophs.
Invertebrates and Vertebrates.
