Document Summary

Biochemistry is the study of life on the molecular level . 3 major types of free living cells: prokaryotes, archaebacteria, eukaryotes: what types of cells are found in biological systems, archaebacteria tend to live in extreme conditions: Type c: thermal springs sludge digesters, deep sea.

Plant cells are eukaryotic and have chloroplasts as well as mitochondria: mitochondria and chloroplasts may be prokaryotic symbionts that were trapped by another prokaryotic cell a very long time ago. Little free water: multicellular organisms have a hierarchy of organization.
