Characteristics of Cells andLifeAll living things (single and multicellular) are made ofcells that share some common characteristics:- Basic shape - spherical, cubical, cylindrical- Internal content - cytoplasm, surrounded by amembrane- DNA chromosome(s), ribosomes, metabolic capabilitiesTwo basic cell types: eukaryotic and prokaryotic2
2 Characteristics of Cells and Life All living things (single and multicellular) are made of cells that share some common characteristics: – Basic shape – spherical, cubical, cylindrical – Internal content – cytoplasm, surrounded by a membrane – DNA chromosome(s), ribosomes, metabolic capabilities Two basic cell types: eukaryotic and prokaryotic

Characteristicsof Life: Reproduction and heredity - genome composedof DNA packed in chromosomes; produceoffspring sexually or asexuallyGrowth and development. Metabolism - chemical and physical lifeprocesses Movement and/or irritability - respond tointernal/external stimuli; self-propulsion of manyorganisms: Cell support, protection, and storage mechanisms- cell walls, vacuoles, granules and inclusionsTransportofnutrients andwaste4
4 Characteristics of Life • Reproduction and heredity – genome composed of DNA packed in chromosomes; produce offspring sexually or asexually • Growth and development • Metabolism – chemical and physical life processes • Movement and/or irritability – respond to internal/external stimuli; self-propulsion of many organisms • Cell support, protection, and storage mechanisms – cell walls, vacuoles, granules and inclusions • Transport of nutrients and waste
