What is the term for organisms that have many cells?

Multicellular

p.4
Types of Cells: Unicellular vs Multicellular

What is an example of a unicellular organism?

Chlamydomonas (protist).

p.7
Surface Area to Volume Ratio in Cells

Why are most cells small?

Due to the surface area to volume problem.

p.12
Types of Cells: Unicellular vs Multicellular

Human Cell Types

About how many cell types do you have?

Approximately 200 different cell types

p.2
Surface Area to Volume Ratio in Cells

Why are most cells small?

Most cells are small to maintain a high surface area to volume ratio, which is essential for efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal.

p.9
Human Cell Types

B. 200

p.2
Cell Count in Organisms

How many cells are there in the human body?

The human body is composed of approximately 37.2 trillion cells.

p.10
Plasma Membrane Structure

What surrounds cells?

Plasma membrane.

p.11
Functions of the Plasma Membrane

How does the plasma membrane regulate the internal environment of the cell?

By allowing specific molecules to enter or leave the cell.

p.1
Overview of Cells

What is the basic unit of life?

The cell.

p.12
Surface Area to Volume Ratio in Cells

Why are your cells small?

To maintain a high surface area to volume ratio, which is essential for efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal

p.2
Plasma Membrane Structure

What surrounds cells?

Cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

p.7
Surface Area to Volume Ratio in Cells

What is the surface area to volume problem in cells?

As cells grow, their volume increases faster than their surface area, making it difficult to efficiently exchange materials with their environment.
