Summary
All living things are made up of cells. The structures of different types of cells are related to their functions. To get into or out of cells, dissolved substances have to cross the cell membranes.
Cells • Cells are the smallest unit of life. • All living things are made of cells. • Most human cells, like most other animal cells, have the following parts: o nucleus o cytoplasm o cell membrane o mitochondria o ribosome
• Plant and algal cells also have: o cell wall o chloroplasts o permanent vacuole

What do these structures do? • Nucleus – controls the activities of the cell. • Cytoplasm – where most of the chemical reactions take place. • Cell membrane - controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell. • Mitochondria - where most energy is released in respiration. • Ribosome - where protein synthesis occurs. • Cell wall – made of cellulose and strengthens plant cells. • Chloroplasts - absorb light energy to make food in plant cells. • Permanent vacuole - filled with cell sap in plant cells.
Yeast • Yeast is a single-celled organism. • The cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
[pic]
Bacteria • Bacterium is a single-celled organism. • A bacterial cell consists of cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall. • The genes are not in a distinct nucleus.

• Cells may be specialised to carry out a particular function.

Movement into and out of cells
• To get into or out of cells, dissolved substances have to cross the cell membranes. • Solutes = particles in solution eg glucose, sodium ions, chloride ions. • Solvent = liquid in which the particles are dissolved eg water. • Solute and solvent molecules move around randomly. • Solutes can move into and out of cells by diffusion.
Diffusion • Diffusion is the spreading of the particles of a gas, or of any substance in solution, resulting in a net movement from a region where they are of a higher concentration. • Oxygen required for respiration passes through cell membranes by diffusion. • The greater the difference in concentration, the faster the rate of diffusion.

B2.1 Tissues, Organs and Organ Systems
Summary
The cells of multicellular organisms may differentiate and become adapted for specific functions. Tissues are aggregations of similar cells; organs are aggregations of tissues performing specific physiological functions. Organs are organised into organ systems, which work together to form organisms.
Multicellular organisms • Large multicellular organisms develop systems for exchanging materials. • During the development of a multicellular organism, cells differentiate so that they can perform different functions. • A tissue is a group of cells with similar structure and function. • Organs are made of tissues. • One organ may contain several tissues. • Organ systems are groups of organs that perform a particular function.
Animal organs
Examples of animal tissues include: • muscular tissue, which can contract to bring about movement • glandular tissue, which can produce substances such as enzymes and hormones • Epithelial tissue, which covers some parts of the body.
The stomach is an organ that contains: • muscular tissue, to churn the contents • glandular tissue, to produce digestive juices • Epithelial tissue, to cover the outside and the inside of the stomach.
The digestive system is one example of a system in which humans and other mammals exchange substances with the environment.
The digestive system includes: • glands, such as the pancreas and salivary glands, which produce digestive juices • the stomach and small intestine, where digestion occurs • the

Regulation 1. Functions for the vacuole: stores food like proteins, breaks down or stores certain wastes, and keeps the concentration of dissolved substances. How it helps the cell maintain homeostasis: Removing unwanted structural debris, isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell, maintaining an acidic internal pH, containing small molecule, and exporting unwanted substances from the cell. 2. Functions for the nucleus: stores the cell's DNA and coordinates…
1. Microorganisms (1674) Microscope lens grinder Anton Van Leeuwenhoek accidentally discovers microorganisms in a drop of water. Using his own microscopes, he observes sperm, bacteria and red blood cells. His observations lay the foundation for the sciences of bacteriology and microbiology. 2. The Cell Nucleus (1831) While studying an orchid, botanist Robert Brown identifies a structure within the cells that he terms the "nucleus." 3. Archaea (1977) Carl Woese discovers bacteria are not the…
Biology Genetics Notes For Mendelian Inheritance you need; traits with only two alleles true-breeding plants (produce offspring of the same variety when they self-pollinate) hybridization- mating of two contrasting true-breeding (homozygous) varieties creating the P generation. The hybrid offspring of the P generation= F1 (first fillial) generation. F1 individuals self-pollinate= F2 generation. Mendel's Four Laws 1st- variation is due to alternative versions of genes called alleles. The…
