Structure of CellsOrganisms are composed of as few as one cell or as many as billions of cells.
Two major cell types occur in nature
1. Prokaryotic [proh-kar-ee-ot-ik] cells – the cells of bacteria
2. Eukaryotic [yoo-kar-ee-ot-ik] cells – the cells of all other organisms
Prokaryotic cells were present on Earth at least 3 billion years ago.
Eukaryotic cells did not appear until about 1 billion years ago.
Both cell types contain all the chemicals necessary for life, encased in a cell membrane.

Structure of CellsThe cell membrane is a sack that holds the contents of a cell and acts as a selective barrier for the passage of substances into and out of the cell
Eukaryotic cells are considerably larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They can also vary greatly in size and shape.
The chemical processes carried out by both types of cells are very similar.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-enclosed organelles, prokaryotic cells do not.
Organelles (little organs) are small structures suspended in the interior cellular fluid, or cytoplasm.

Animal Cell vs. Plant Cell
![Page 28: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56815025550346895dbe0f70/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56815025550346895dbe0f70/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PhotosynthesisOrganisms must have energy to survive. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun.
Cells of green plants and certain algae contain organelles called chloroplasts that are able to capture solar energy and make food.
Within the chloroplast is a light-capturing system that converts light energy into chemical energy by a process called photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis uses the energy from sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to compounds that contain C-H bonds, mainly in the form of glucose.
![Page 30: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56815025550346895dbe0f70/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Overview of Photosynthesis6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
light energy
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into food energy (glucose, chemical energy stored in chemical bonds).
Photosynthesis carried out by plants and algae.
![Page 31: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56815025550346895dbe0f70/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Photosynthesis
Animals, that do not carry out photosynthesis, get the carbon compounds used by all organisms by eating plants or by eating animals that feed on plants.
Both plants and animals get energy by unleashing the energy stored in the chemical bonds of these carbon compounds.
The nutrients are oxidized back to carbon dioxide and water in the process.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
![Page 33: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56815025550346895dbe0f70/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
PhotosynthesisPlant life could survive without animals, but animal life could never survive without plants.
Oxygen is an important product of photosynthesis
Photosynthetic organisms produce the oxygen found in Earth’s atmosphere.
