Cellular respiration

Also got from notes.  ( some things may sound the same just a little different.)
"Is the process in which cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose."
You may know all cells release energy. But maybe you didn't know this Glucose and the sugars are the power and source and the cell.
Most of this energy is provided by Cellular respiration.
It also takes place in the Mitochondria.
Plant and animals release this same energy.
These are the starting materials sugars-) glucose-) and oxygen. All of those enter the Mitochondria.
And the chemical reaction to that make new materials. Then as you might have guessed it releases energy.
The products are energy-) carbon dioxide -) and then water. Energy is also used to build,repair and reproduce the cells.

Waste elimination in cells

Organisms rid the cell of harmful things that could damage the cell.
if your in a classroom and their are more people on that other side what would you do? You would move to the less filled area than the more filled area.
Here is an ex: Passive transport & active transport Diffusion and osmosis are both passive transport.
If you don't know what diffusion is it is when the molecule spread out until they are even.
That is very important for cell functions.
Credit to My teacher for the lovely notes used for this one.

Photosynthesis

OK, let's get into this photosynthesis.

This is the way plants make their own food. They make it by the light of the sun and water from the ground there is also more to how they make food. Tet me show you a video that you may have seen before.

I hope that helps you.
Song from rhythm rhyme and results.

Cell wall

Did you know that cell wall's are only around plant cells? And they are also made of cellulose. You can think of cellulose as a frame of a picture it protects the cell in order for it to survive.
The cell wall also provides the plant to maintain  it's shape.This also allows the plant to grow great heights. Unlike the plants they don't have skeletons like we do so they use the cell wall to keep up right.
When it is a smaller plant it is slightly elastic. If wind pushes them over they go right back up.
If you are thinking that nothing can hurt the plant like the cell wall is a barrier around it your wrong. It still can get hurt.
There are small holes that let ions, waste and nutrients pass through the cell.
These hole's are called Plasmodesmata.

Chromosomes

Chromosomes are like a computer it helps the cell grow, Think of it as giving it updates.
it also makes it thrive and reproduce. Just like we are made up of DNA so are they too.

"Segments of DNA in specific patterns are called genes." "Your genes make you who you are." "You will find the chromosomes and genetic material in the nucleus of a cell." " In prokaryotes, DNA floats in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. "

BOLDED QUOTE'S FROM link down below.
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chromosome.html

Did you know that not all Chromosomes are visible? They are usually sitting around their buddy called the chromatin, they are uncoiled and loose strands. When they start to reproduce they reduce and wrap around tightly together.

Cell membrane.

Cell membrane

 Think of it as a soft squishy jelly doughnut. The cell membrane has a liquid substance inside. Everything that is in this cell membrane stays in there. There are hole in this Membrane that let stuff go in and out through this cell. It doesn't let any bad thing in. It also keeps the good stuff in.
If you haven't guessed the cell membrane is NOT solid! And if you don't remember what the smallest thing is here you go. The answer is cells. Every little thing in life has cell even you and me. The membrane is no different it's the same.

 "Compounds called proteins and phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane." 
Quote got from:
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_membrane.html

"The phospholipids make the basic bag. The proteins are found around the holes and help move molecules in and out of the cell."
From site above.

Vacuole

Vacuole

I think you would need some fun after me rambling on and on so feel free to pause this video at times you need to.

 Click the pic. all rights goes to plantendomembrane on youtube. Can you also tell me what other organelle's you see in that video?

                       

Cytoplasm

"Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cell."

All info on this website got from.
        http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_cytoplasm.html
 
The cytoplasm has many different molecules that dissolve in solution.
"You will find fatty acids, enzymes , sugars, and amino acids."
"Waste products are also dissolved before they have been taken to the vacuoles and or sent in or out of the cell."
Which we will talk about later. (In the next blog coming soon...)
It's special fluid in the nucleus.





Image of Cytoplasm.

Neucleus

The nucleus is like the boss of the cell. And or acts like your brain any way that you want to think of it. you know the way we eat it controls how the plant or animal eats as well. If something happens in the cell the nucleus probably would about it.
And if you think the nucleus is always in the middle of the cell you would be wrong.
It can go different places as well not just one place.

"It would be a big dark spot somewhere in the middle of all the cytoplasm."

 It won't be near the edge of the cell if you look there you probably won't find it. It would be mighty dangerous for it to be there sitting at the edge if you don't remember the cytoplasm it the fluid that fills the cell to make it stay up like a skeleton.
If you also think that all cells have nucleus's you are wrong. Not all cells have them. If you didn't know you don't really need a nucleus to have DNA.

"If you don't have a defined nucleus, your DNA is probably floating around the cell in a region called the nucleoid. A defined nucleus that holds the genetic code is an advanced feature in a cell."
Did you know that there is a nuclear envelope? Well there is and it surrounds the nucleus. Every thing that is in the nucleus or out it surrounds it. That means if there is things floating around the nucleus that envelope would surround it.

Information on this cite got from the one above.

Mitosis

 Mitosis cell division

Click on link to show the different features of mitosis BELOW.

http://www.johnkyrk.com/mitosis.html

Click it and it will show you the different fazes.
It tells you the fazes on the left hand side.

Mitosis is the process by which Dividing cells and making two daughter cells that happen a lot in little kid bodies. That process will slow down a lot more when you get older.
Now it won't stop it will just get slower.
It will not move as quickly as it did, the more older that you are the more it slows down.
This is a way your body is starting to grow and develop.

And on the left side where the fazes of mitosis are you can scroll over them and Up above you will see it change and tell you some facts.

Then last but not least something fun.

Ribosomes

Ribosomes

"Cells need to make proteins. These proteins might be used as enzymes or as suport of cell functions."
Info got on this website is
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_ribos.html

When you need protein you should think about or look for ribosomes.
They are protein builders and protein synthesizers.


The little dots they are ribosomes.
These little dots Create the Protein from these ribosomes.
They are found in many places around the cell not just one.
You even might see them floating in cytoplasm's. They will make protein ( like I said before.)
Ribosomes have more than one piece the two pieces that it has are called subunits.
When this cell needs to make protein mRNA is created in the nucleus.
Then it is sent to the cell and also the ribosomes (mRNA is sent there.)
Then when it is time to make some protein the subunits come together and combine with the mRNA.
The subunits lock to the mRNA and started to make some protein.

Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts make the food for this cell. It also makes the green of the plant. They are only found in plant cells, and on some protists.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
 It also gives you some extra information. Now it creates the sugar for the plant, yes sugar. There is a song I would like you to hear. Just click this and you press enter and that will get you to remember.

This song is made by the Archie's but this is a prodigy. This one made by eddsworld.


Chloroplasts help the plant have that green look to them and also animals don't have these of course. Every plant that you see that's green is working hard to convert the sun's energy into these sugars. Of course plants help us live. Without Chloroplasts how would we tell if the plant is dying or not? you wouldn't know and then cut it down. then we all die just like that plant. this next quoted sentence is from
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_chloroplast.html

"They create sugars and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe."
again where that information is from is the site above.

Mitochondria

What is the smallest living thing on earth? if you can't answer that then why are you on here?

The answer is cells of course we are going to be learning about plant and animal cells today.

Every living thing is made up of cells ALL LIVING THINGS are made up of these cells.

We are going to be starting off by Plant cells. Now here is one of many the Mitochondria can you find it? anyway if you did good job. Mitochondria's act like there the power house of the cells.They are organelles which has to act like the digestive system. It takes nutrients, breaks it down and then creates energy for the cell.
Information got from:
 http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_mito.html
this process by which energy is produced called cellular respiration.
Most of these chemical reaction  happen in the mitochondria. You actually might find seven thousand of these cells ( Mitochondria.)
