UNIT OBJECTIVES

After completing this unit, you should be able to:

  • Describe the general characteristics of a cell
  • List the major organelles of a cell
  • Describe the structure and function of each organelle
  • Explain how substances move through the cell membrane
  • Describe the life cycle of a cell and explain how a cell reproduces
  • State the meanings of the prefixes, suffixes, and root words of this unit

VOCABULARY
blastocyst gametes mitosis RNA
cells genes organogenesis semipermeable
chromosomes genome organs somatic
DNA histogenesis phagocytosis stem cells
embryo lipids pinocytosis tissues
fetus meiosis pluripotentiality

STUDY TIPS--Use the one(s) that best suit your learning style

  • Have you read the chapter? You should be able to do the outline without looking at the back of the chapter.
  • Highlight the important words in your notes. Then read through the questions on the double-columned notes on this website.
  • Diagrams are very important in this unit. Know the parts of a cell from ANY diagram.
  • Make flash cards or a list of the cell organelle functions.
  • Mitosis--Can you list the phases in order? Can you state what occurs during each phase? Can you identify a phase from a microscope slide or drawing? Did you go over the ones given on this web site.
  • Be sure to complete your study guide.
  • Review using the website.
