A virus is nonliving structure that attacks cells and multiplies by injecting RNA or DNA telling the cell to make multiple copies of the virus. Viruses such as Rhinoviruses give you colds.

Bacteria
Bacteria are small single celled organisms that have a cell wall and do not have a well, defined nucleus.
(Brevoort outline)
Archea
Archea are small single celled organisms that have a cell wall and do not have a well, defined nucleus, just like the bacteria. Archea tend to be extremophiles. Extremophiles can live in extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures.

Animal Cells
Organelles and Their Functions
Cell:
The smallest unit that can performs all life procesess
Cell Membrane:
The outside of an animal cell, contains proteins, lipids, and phospholipids
Cytoskeleton:
The cytoskeleton is a mesh of different proteins in cells.
Nucleus:
Contains all cell DNA
Ribosomes:
The producer of proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum:
The internal delivery system of a cell. Also produces proteins, lipids, and other materials.
Mitochondrion:
Main energy source of a cell. It gets it's energy by breaking down sugar through ATP
Golgi Complex:
Packaging system of the cell
Vesicle:
A small sac containing fluid or gas.
Lysosomes:
Vesicles that are responsible for the digestive system. Also destroy worn-out or dammaged organelles.

Plant Cell
Organelles and Their Function
Cell Wall:
Provides protection from physical injury.
Chloroplast:
Chloroplast are the food producers of the cell. They are only found in plant cells.
Large Central Vacuole:
The large central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.
Photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds.
(Brevoort outline) (Holt Life Science)
Meiosis
Makes sex cells. Makes 4 daughter cells.
(Holt Life Science)
Mitosis
Makes 2 daughter cells
(Holt Life Science)
Plant Parts
Petals:
Attracts insects and other pollinators
Stem:
Carries water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves to help with photosynthesis
Roots:
An underground organ that sucks up water and nutrients for the plant
Pistil:
Pollen travels through here
Stigma:
Traps pollen
Ovary:
Contain egg cells
Stamen:
Provides support for Anther
Anther:
Makes pollen
Sepal:
Protects flower bud
(Holt Life Science)
Photosynthesis
CO2 + 2H2O + sunlight ---> O 2 + (C H2O)n + H2 O
When this formula is successful glucose is made and provides foods and nutrients for the plants.

I think Ligers are cool because they are a mix between a tiger and a lion, and that is just too cool. They are also really, really, really big
