Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms, discovered by Robert Hooke using a compound microscope. Cells contain specialized organelles: the nucleus serves as the control center, ribosomes build proteins, mitochondria generate energy, the cell wall provides structural support in plant cells, chloroplasts capture sunlight for photosynthesis, the endoplasmic reticulum folds proteins and synthesizes lipids, the Golgi complex modifies and packages proteins, and lysosomes break down waste. Cells divide through mitosis to create identical cells for growth and repair, and through meiosis to produce unique cells for reproduction. Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

Added:Welcome. Today we'll talk about cells.
Cell is the unit of life. All living things are made of them. Inside organals work together. Robert Hook. He used a compound microscope. He looked at a sliver of cork. He discovered tiny box-like cells. That's how biology changed forever. Let's journey deep inside the cell. The nucleus is the control center. Ribosomes build important proteins. Mitochondria provide the power. Study the cell wall. It is a rigid layer. [music] It provides structural support and protects the cell. It's made of cellulose. Let's learn how cells work.
Diffusion moves particles.
Osmosis moves water. It's that simple.
Let's explore the cytoplasm.
This fluid fills [music] the entire cell. Organels are suspended within it.
Here is the nucleus.
This [music] is the mitochondri.
It generates energy.
The nucleus is here.
Observe the mitochondri.
It generates energy.
Welcome to the interior of a cell.
Here is the endoplastic reticulum. This golgi complex sorts proteins.
Chloroplasts capture sunlight.
Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories. They synthesize proteins essential for life.
The GGI complex is the cell's shipping center. [music] It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
[music] The endopplasmic reticulum is crucial.
It folds proteins [music] and synthesizes lipids.
Chloroplasts [music] are the food producers. They convert light into sugar.
The Golgi compule serve serve as storage [music] sacks. They maintain the cell's tur pressure.
Losomes are the cell's recycling center.
They break down waste with digestive enzymes.
Welcome. Today we will look at cells.
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall.
Animal cells do not have this. They also have chloroplasts. There are proaryotic ukarotic cells. Proarotes lack a defined nucleus. Ukarotes have a membrane bound nucleus. That is the main difference.
Today we will explore how cells divide and meiosis. Mitosis creates two identical cells while mossis results in four unique ones.
