What Is So Important About Cells? Cells are the most basic building block of all life as we know it. But what makes cells extremely important to living organisms‚ and why do we need cells anyway? A cell is “a usually microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and‚ in plants‚ a cell wall; the basic structural unit of all organisms.” But what makes cells extremely important to living organisms‚ and why do we need cells anyway? Cells are

that the stomatal density on high leafs is higher than on low leafs. During photosynthesis the chloroplasts in the leaf cells synthesize ATP from ADP as a result of exposure to light‚ while oxygen is produced as a by-product of the photosynthetic reaction. Carbon dioxide‚ which enters the plant through diffusion via the stomata‚ is needed for this process (photosynthesis) to occur. When the chloroplasts in the leafs cell is exposed to higher light intensities‚ more ATP is synthesized from ADP‚ while

Bacteria Bacteria are microscopic organisms whose single cells have neither a membrane-enclosed nucleus nor other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Another group of microbes‚ the archaea‚ meet these criteria but are very different from the bacteria in other ways. In fact‚ there is considerable evidence that you are more closely related to the archaea than they are to the bacteria! Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals‚ but belong to a group

some features are always the same. For example‚ the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called photosynthetic reaction centers that containchlorophylls. In plants‚ these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts‚ while in bacteria they are embedded in theplasma membrane. Some of the light energy gathered by chlorophylls is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The rest of
