KEY CONCEPTS ABOUT CELLS: LIFE’S DESIGN & VIRUSES

MS-CCR Standard(s):
Bio. 1A. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of life
and biological organization.
BIO. 1A. 1. Develop criteria to differentiate between living and non-living things
BIO. 1A. 2. Describe the tenets of cell theory and the contributions of Schwann,
Hooke, Schleiden, and Virchow.
BIO. 1A. 3. Using specific examples, explain how cells can be organized into complex
tissues, organs, and organ systems in multicellular organisms.
BIO. 1A. 4. Use evidence from current scientific literature to support whether a virus
is living or non-living.
BIO. 1A. 1/4

EVERYTHING in
Biology, you will
Criteria to be living… if it
doesn’t have this it’s NOT
review, are based
alive! on these 4 ideas…
& DNA
Characteristics of Living/Non-living things (Not to lame or
boring!!!) It’s only 3:38 minutes and gives a visual to the
information above….why virus or not living…
Okay they are

lame, but they
do explain the
concept
Bacteriophage (Virus)
Video
Parts
labeled, how
it invades,
and a video
below to
show both!
You just need to know

why viruses are not
considered living and
how Bacteriophage
destroy cells.
BIO. 1A. 2
Tenets (principles) of the

Cell Theory
No cool
visuals
just
recalls
Memorized their
contributions!
You will be asked

How cells are organized
Same Thing

Important Hint: Know the levels of organization
both ways with words and through pictures. Study
all pictures. (It’s just a few questions on the test,
but they are easy if you review this information.)

REVIEW & TEST PREP FOR
CELLS: LIFE’S DESIGN & VIRUSES
MS-CCR Standard(s):
CONTENT REVIEW
1) Identify which of the following characteristics are shared by all living organisms. Write a
Y by the characteristics that are shared by all living organisms. Write an N by the
characteristics that are not shared by all living organisms.
a. ___Y___ share a universal genetic code
b. ___N___are able to make their own food
c. ___Y___ are made of protein
d. ___Y__are made of one or more cells
e. ___Y ___ must use the energy from something else
f. ___Y __ are able to respond to changes in their environment
g. ___N___ need to breathe in oxygen
h. ___Y___ maintain a fairly stable internal environment
2) __________HOOKE________ English scientist that cut a thin slice of cork and looked at
it under his microscope. To him, the cork seemed to be made up of empty little boxes,
which he named cells.
3) ___________LEEUWENHOEK_______Dutch naturalist who created a very powerful (for

the time period) single lends microscope, He observed pond water. In pond scum he
discovered small animals he called animalcules, or little animal (Protista) ,and also
discovered bacteria while examining scarping of crud from his teeth.
4) ___________SCHLEIDEN___________ German botanist who determined plants are

composed of cells.
5) ________SCHWANN________ German physiologist and histologist who in 1838 and
1839 identified the cell as the basic structure of plant and animal tissue
6) ______VIRCHOW_________A doctor who stated that all living cells come from other
living cells (part 3 of the cell theory)
7) What are the three parts of cell theory?
a. ___ Cells come from existing cells__
b. _ All living things are made of cells
C. ___ Cells are the basic unit of life ___

8) Label the parts of the virus pictured below
a) _______ See Picture on page 12____

b) _____________________
c) _____________________
d) _____________________
e) _____________________
f) _____________________
g) _____________________
h) _____________________
1)
a) Define the following terms from the question above:
Organ system- A group of organs working together

Organ- A group of tissues working together
Tissue- A group of cells working together
Cell- The basic unit of life

b) Rewrite the question in your own words. What are they really asking?
How does everything in a living organism function together?
c) What is the correct answer and WHY? (you will not get credit without an explanation)
B, because eruthrocytes and leukocytes are cells that work together to
make blood, and the heart (organ) pumps the blood.
2)

Unicellular- made of one (1) cell - simple, few or no membrane bound
organelles
Multicellular- made
of more than one cell - complex, many membrane
bound organelles
. Which organism pictured is made of only one cell?
c) What is the correct answer and WHY? (you will not get credit without an explanation) D
(or #4), because #3 (flower) and #2 (fungi) are multicellular organism, and
#1 is virus which is not a cell.
3)
Microbe- a microscopic organism
What are characteristics of a virus?

c) What is the correct answer and WHY?A, because they are not considered living
and must have a living host to reproduce.
MAAP TEST PREP

MDE PT 1. # 7
Answer B. Clues- “highest level”. B is the digestive systems which an organ system is right
below an organism (the highest). A is a cell, D is tissue and C is an organ.
MDE PT. 1 # 58
Answer H. Clues- “highest level”. J is an organelle which help makes up a cell.
MDE PT. 2 # 27
Answer C. Clues- “Level of organization”, “simplest” to “most complex”.
MDE PT. 2 #65

Answer C. Clues- “level of organization” of “digestive system”. An organ system is made of a
“group of organs”. C is the only answer choice that states that information.
MDE PT.3 # 28
Answer G. Clues- “connective tissue”.

MDE PT. 3 # 32
Answer G. Clues- “contractions”.
MDE PT. 3 # 53
Answer D. Clues- “lowest level of organization”. The cell is the lowest level.
Answer. Living=Can respond…, Can release…, Can reproduce / Non-living= Cannot…, exist
without…. Clues: “Can” for living and “Cannot/Without”
Answer.
