Document Summary
Community animal tissues cell organelles macromolecules molecules atoms. The study of cell at the microscopic and molecular level. Structures of their organelles: movements of macromolecules to different organelles. By understanding the fundamental processes of cells we learn to cure cancer and etc. Co(cid:396)k is (cid:373)ade up of (cid:858)(cid:272)ells(cid:859) b/c of monk homes.

Cells can arise only by division from pre-existing cell. Possess genetic program and means to use it (transcription + translation) Capable of producing more of themselves (mitosis + meiosis) Carry out chemical reactions (metabolism + enzymes aid) Transport materials inside the cell (intracellular transport: assemble and disassemble structures, whole cells move. Respond to stimuli (use surface proteins = receptors) Self-regulate (dna repair enzymes + determine when to stop/start dividing) Evolve (genetic changes lead to beneficial changes retained in future generation)
