Cells in Water
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 1
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Long ago, life began in water as tiny single-celled microbes. Later, some cells gained a nucleus and DNA, and many cells joined to make larger bodies.
In the picture
- Single-celled microbe: one living cell on its own in water
- Cell group: several cells held together as one body
- Nucleus: the rounded control centre inside the cell
- DNA strand: the coiled instruction thread inside the nucleus
Examples
- Pond water under a microscope can show tiny single-celled life.
- Your body is made of many cells, and each cell contains DNA.
Key takeaways
- The first life on Earth lived in water and was made of single cells.
- Cells with a nucleus store DNA and can join to form many-celled bodies.
