    • No membrane bound organelles
    • Lacks internal structures with membranes
    • No nucleus
  5. What are characteristics of a Eukaryotic cell?
    • Plant, Animal, and Fungus cells
    • Has membrane bound organelles
    • Has a nucleus
  6. What are unicellular organisms? Example?
    • Organisms composed of only 1 cell
    • Bacteria, yeast, amoeba, euglena
  7. What are multi-cellular organisms? Example?

    • Get food for energy
    • Rid themselves of waste
    • Obtain oxygen or Carbon Dioxide
    • Reproduce
    • Regulate water balance
    • React to changes in the enviornment
  9. What does division of labor mean in a cell?
    Each organelles has a specific job in the cell.
  10. A cell only survives if what?
    All its parts work together.
  11. Define Unicellular.
    Consisting of a single cell.
  12. Define Multicellular.
    Having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions.
  13. Define metabolism.
    The process involving a set of chemical reactions that modifies a molecule into another for storage or for immediate use in another reaction.
  14. Define anabolism.
    The process involving a sequence of chemical reactions that constructs molecules from smaller units. A constructive type of metabolism.
  15. Define catabolism.
    The process involving a series of degradative chemical reactions that break down complex molecules into smaller units. Releases energy. A destructive kind of metabolism.
  16. Define dehydration synthesis.
    A chemical reaction that builds up molecules by losing water molecules.
  17. Define hydrolysis.
    A chemical reaction in which the interaction of a compound with water results in the decomposition of that compound.
