What I have learned about cells-

         I have learned much information about cells. Cells are the tiniest unit that can accomplish all the processes necessary for life. There are two main types of cells, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single cells that do not have a nucleus. A few examples of Prokaryotes are bacteria and archaea . Eukaryotes are multicellular cells consisting of a nucleus that are about ten times larger than prokaryotes. Animals and plants are Eukaryotes.

         There are many organelles with different functions in an Eukaryotes. First, the cell wall that provides structure to a cell. Second, a cell membrane is a protective layer that encloses a cell. Third, cytoskeletons acts like muscle and a skeleton. Next, the nucleus which contains DNA. Ribosomes create protein out of amino acid. Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER is the place where proteins, lipids, and other materials are made. Also, the mitochondria is where sugar is broken down into energy. Chloroplasts are in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis takes place. The golgi complex looks like a smooth ER, many lipids and proteins are delivered to the golgi complex. All Eukaryotic cells have vesicle. A vesicle is a sac that moves things in and out of cells. Finally, lysosomes create digestion and sends it to the vacuole which stores it.

         Being multicellular has many benefits. Multicellular means you have many cells. Multicellular organisms are larger in size, and are not usually prey. Also, they typically have a longer life. Finally, each cell has a job specialization. This creates a more efficient organism. Tissue is a group of cells that have a common function. An organ is a group of of tissues with a specialized function. Organs working together to perform a function is an organ system. Anything that can create a life process by itself is an organism.
