    Cell Biology

    Muscle fibers/Aseptate Fungi/Larger fungi


    Challenge the idea that cells are;
    Autonomous units/discreet/large organisms have multiple cells.
    Signs of life mnemonic: MR SHENG
    Unicellular organisms
    Can be seen by Compound Light Microscope
    Examples of unicellular orgasims
    Paramecium (heterotroph: can’t manufacture own food)
    -Breathes thru diffusion
    -Excretes thru an anal pore and vacuole
    -Engulfs food in membranous feeding groove
    -moves bc it has cilia
    Scenedesmus (Autotroph: Can manufacture own food)
    -feeds by photosynthesis
    -breathes by diffusion
    -makes colonies to seek protection
    Features of cells
    Contain nucleus – controls and directs cell activities
    Cytoplasm- site of all chemical reactions of life
    Cell/Plasma membrane- Controls entry and exit of substances from the cytoplasm

    Understanding Surface area to volume ratio

    Mass/Vol is related to rate of metabolism


    Surface area is related to rate of material exchange

    If the metabolic rate of a cell increases faster than its rate of exchange of materials, then the cell will die.
    This is why cells remain small in size and divide.
    Increasing Surface area
    This is to increase the rate of exchange of substances. Examples for exception include villi in the
    intestine and microvilli in the alveoli.
