The importance of cells in organisms

Cells

• The structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms.
• Cells can be either prokaryotic, archaea or eukaryotic.
• Cells can be unicellular(single cell) or multicellular(many cells).
• Cells divide to make other cells by the process of mitosis or meiosis.
• Cells contain organelles that perform certain tasks within the cell.

Energy

• Energy is the ability to do work as well as affect physical change
• Energy is important to life because it allows for locomotion
• Energy also lets organisms do things like respiration and reproduction
• On a cellular level, energy is required for cells to perform functions
• Energy is needed to maintain homeostasis

Information

• -Genetic information is the blueprint of an organism
• -The genetic information, DNA, is found in the nucleus of cells
• -DNA can be used to understand the relationships between various organisms
• -Sensory information is what's used to interact with the physical world
• -Sensory information is interpreted by sensory organs

Replication/Reproduce

• To make copy,duplicate or close imitation of something.
• Organs that work together for the purpose of producing life.
• Protects species from extinction.
• Single organisms can reproduce without the aid of another.
• Two basic forms are asexual and sexual. 

Evolve

• To develop gradually into a complex form.
• Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity of organisms.
•  The importance of natural selection cause evolution into branching biology
• Genetic material from one generation to the next.
• Some traits picked up from the environment.
