Theory #2 states that cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. This theory emerged from the work of Schleiden and Schwann in 1839, who observed similarities between plant and animal tissues and realized that cells were essential components common to both. Their discovery led to the concept that cells arise from pre-existing cells through cellular division and reproduction, supporting the cellular theory. Cells come in discrete packages surrounded by a cell membrane, and serve as the basic form of life, processing nutrients, and allowing organisms to survive independently.

cellular division / cellular reproduction supports the idea that cells arise from pre existing cells

.
( Unicellular ) Prokaryotes are small and surrounded by a plasma membrane , but have no internal membrane
-
bound organelles within cytoplasm .

( Multicellular ) Plants ,
animals ,
and
fungi are multicellular because they are made up of many cells .

( Both) Eukaryotes may be unicellular / multicellular . Ex : Amoeba ( unit .


Plants and animals ( multi )

All parts of cell have


functions these surviving
,
so are
required for independent living or .

Cells come in discrete packages ,


surrounded by cell membrane , serves as a clear
boundary

cells provide form and structure , process nutrients and convert it into reusable energy

Binary fission how like bacteria


single-celled organisms reproduce
-

Mitosis -

process your body cells use to make exact replicas of themselves

Meiosis -

creates sperm or
egg cells
