Cells are the makeup of every living thing! There are two types of cells: plant and animal cells. We are going to talk about Cells in general. Cells make energy by getting Carbon in the form of sugar. Depending on the organism, it make its own food or eat food to survive. Cells also make proteins for your body. Proteins help your body stay healthy. Your DNA, the stuff that makes you you and me me, is stored inside of the middle of the cell called the nucleus. Cells are important because they produce energy, proteins, and make you who you are. Without cells, no life as we know it would ever be on Earth! That is what cells are! Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are important for many cellular functions. Learn more about how amino acids came about and the experiment behind them in the video below!
