Viruses

Rhino Viruses are viruses that are in your nose that causes the common cold.
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.




Bacteria

Bacteria are small single celled organisms that have a cell wall and do not have a well, defined nucleus
Bacteria is the most common prokaryotes. They are the smallest cells known.




Archaea

Archaea are small single celled organisms that have a cell wall and do not have a well, defined nucleus.
Archaea very similar to bacteria but have a different ribosome structure and tend to be extremophiles.
Extremophiles can live in extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures.



Animal Cells

Animal Cell Organelle

the Cell Membrane is the semipermeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell.
The Cytoskeleton is a shifting lattice arrangement of structural and contractile components distributed throughout the cell cytoplasm, composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and larger filaments, functioning as a structural support and transport mechanism.
the nucleus which contains the cell's DNA and is the control center of the cell.
the Ribosome is a tiny, somewhat mitten-shaped organelle occurring in great numbers in the cell cytoplasm either freely, in small clusters, or attached to the outer surfaces of endoplasmic reticula, and functioning as the site of protein manufacture.
Endoplasmic Reticulum makes lipids, breaks down drugs, and packages proteins for the Golgi complex.
Mitochondria breaks down food molecules to make ATP.
Golgi complex processes and transports proteins out of the cell.
a Vesicle is a small sac or cyst.
Lysosome is the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders.

Plant Cell Organelle

Cell Wall-
the definite boundary or wall that is part of the outer structure of certain cells, as a plant cell.
Chloroplast- a plastid containing chlorophyll.
Large Central Vacuole- the large vesicle that holds the plant's fluids

Photosynthesis- the synthesis of complex organic materials, esp. carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll and associated pigments.


Mitosis
Mitosis is the splitting of cells. It makes two daughter cells that have 46 chromosomes each.

Meiosis
Meiosis is the process in which cells divide and make four daughter cells that have 23 chromosomes each. This is the process that creates sex cells.

Photosynthesis is the process when sunlight water and carbon dioxide are taken into the chloroplasts of the plant and made into glucose and energy.

Plants

  • All plants make their own food through photosynthesis
  • they all have cuticles, cell walls and a two stage life
  • Their are non vascular and vascular plants
  • their are gymnosperms, angiosperms, dicots, and monocots angiogym.jpg


  • roots supply plants with plants with water, hold plants in soil, and store supplies for the plant
  • stems support the plant's body, transport minerals, and store materials
  • there are herbaceous stems and woody stems

woody stem cross section



  • the sepal protects the bud
  • the stamen is the male reproductive part of the plant
  • the pistil is the female reproductive part of the plant
  • the ovary produces the eggs in the ovules

I chose a seahorse because they are very cute and they also are really cool to watch.
