Document Summary

Animal cells lack cell wall contrary to plant cells. Small organs of the cell which each have a specific function. Power house of the cell, provides energy. Contains all genetic information and is the brain of the cell. Collects waste in the cell to be expelled. Post office, sends ribosomes and other materials out through the cytoplasm. Within cell wall, there is the cytoplasmic membrane. Nucleoid region is where the genetic material is located. Scientists wanted to find the evolutionary common ancestor. The genes found on rrna (ribosomal) molecules were used to find the common. Every organism has these and are similar. The closer the sequence is, the more likely that there is a common ancestor. True bacteria that can be found anywhere ancestors. Archaea and eukaryotes are more similarly related. Cells are the fundamental units of life. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. As it increases the surface area to volume ratio decreases.
