Cells Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

year 9 -I Lower Secondary Curriculum * QUALIFICATION*-

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

LIVING ORGANIZMS

All living organisms carry out seven life proces­ses:-
Movement, Respir­ation, Sensit­ivity, Growth, Reprod­uction, Excretion, Nutrition ( They all form the word MRS.GREN)
Any living organism is made of cells
All cells are made of tissues
All tissues are made of organs
All organs are made of organ systems

DEFENI­TIONS

Life processes
A process that something does to stay alive. The life process that happens in all living things are (movement, reprod­uction, sensit­ivity, growth, respir­ation, excretion, and nutrition)
Movement
Going from one place to another, all organisms move or part of the
Respir­ation
A process in which substances release energy for an organism to use. All organisms respire. There are, however, different forms of respir­ation
Sensit­ivity
the ability to detect things in the surrou­nding. All organisms can sense certain changes in their surrou­ndings
Growth
Increases in size. All organisms grow
Reprod­uction
A process in which organisms make more organisms like them. All organisms reproduce
Excretion
Getting rid of waste. All organisms excrete
Nutrition
is the substances that help organisms respire and grow. All organisms need nutrition

FUNCTIONS OF CELLS

Animal cells
It has a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitoch­ondria, and ribosomes
plant cell
contains a cell wall, chloro­plast, and large vacuole + cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
Nucleus
Control the cell and gens
Cytoplasm
Where the chemical reactions happen
cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of the cell and gives the cell its shape
Mitoch­ondria
Helps in respir­ation
Ribosomes
Makes energy
Vacuole
Contains cell sap
cell wall
made of cellulose that supports the cell
Chloro­plast
Absorbs sunlight for the photos­ynt­hesis process

DIFFUSION

Gas exchange at the alveoli — oxygen from the air to the blood, carbon dioxide from the blood to the air.
Gas exchange for photos­ynt­hesis — carbon dioxide from the air to leaf, oxygen from leaf to air.
Gas exchange for respir­ation — oxygen from the blood to tissue cells, carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.

A high Diffusion Rate leads to a short distance, large surface area, and big concen­tration differ­ence.
High temper­atures increase diffusion; large molecules slow diffusion.

SURFACE AREA: VOLUME RATIO (SA: V)

Surface area of a cuboid= length x height / length x width / height x width
Volume of a cuboid = length x width x height
SA : V RATIO = surface area / volume
 

ANIMAL CELLS

It consists of a nucleus, cell membrane, cytopl­asm­,mi­toc­hon­dria, ribosomes

PLANT CELLS

It consists of anucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, vacuole, chloro­plasts
