Cells

Cell theory

Size of Cells

Unicellular and Multicellular

Functions of a celll

What are Cells?

Basic Units of Stucture

and function in living things

Multicellular

Unicellular

Made up of two or more cells

function similarly in all organsisms

German scientists studied cells

Found out plants & animals --> made of cells

all the life functions of an organism occur within cells

all cells come from preexisting cells.

all organisms are made up of one or more cells

Only one cell

cells in digestive systems

absorb food

carry out basic processes of life

very small

measured in micrometers

7 micrometers across

Human skin cells

one square cm of your skin's surface

Red Blood Cells

7 micrometers across

100,000 cells

only visible through microscope

i.e amoeba

Cells By 201, 226, 214, and 205

involved in functions of organisms

getting rid of wastes

obtaining oxygen

obtaining food

growing

Modern Cell theory rules

all cells are the same in chemical composition in organisms of similar species.

the activity of an organism depends on the activity of independent cells

cells contain DNA which is passed from cell to cell during cell division

I.e, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.
