1.1 Cell Structure

This lesson covers:

• The structure of animal, plant, and bacterial cells
• The function of each sub-cellular structure (organelle), such as ribosomes and mitochondria 

Notes

• Cells are the building blocks of life
• 'The smallest unit of life that can replicate independantly'
• Animal + plant cells = eukaryotes (DNA stored in nucleus)
• Bacteria cells = prokaryotes (DNA not stored in nucleus)
• In bacteria cells, each individual cell is a whole organism
• Bacteria cells reproduce asexually
• Animals + plants = multicellular (they are made up of lots of cells)
• Subcellular structures (organelles) = the different parts that make up the…
