Cells 1

This document provides an overview of cell biology and the cell theory. It begins with defining characteristics of living things such as homeostasis, metabolism, response to stimuli, reproduction, heredity, growth, waste removal, and nutrition. It then discusses how the invention of the microscope allowed scientists to discover cells, the basic unit of structure and function that makes up all living things. The document concludes by outlining the three main points of the cell theory: 1) All living things are composed of cells, 2) New cells are produced from existing cells, and 3) The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ALIVE ? Part I


A

Living Things.
Maintain internal order
regardless of changing
external environment
(Homeostasis)
Need, make and use
B
energy (Homeostasis)
Respond to changes to
stimulus from the
environment
Reproduce
Which of the two pictures shows a living

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ALIVE ? Part II


Living Things.
Pass down genetic information
Grow and develop
Carry out EXCRETION (the process of expelling or
removing waste matter in living organisms).
Carry out NUTRITION (the intake of nourishment for
the purpose of energy production).

BIOTIC: refers to something that


is living or was once living
ABIOTIC: refers to something
that is not and was never
living

Identify the two


biotic factors from
the selection of
photos. Use the
characteristics of
living things
discussed to
support your

All living things have cells!

Prior the discovery of the microscope in 1665 by


Robert Hooke, scientists had no idea what was
beneath the surface of all living things and
because of this, they could not properly classify
what was living from what was nonliving.
However, with the microscope, scientists were
able to look much closer at living things to see
what they all had in common- tiny structures
called cells. Cells actually do all the things that
living things do.How
So that
cells living
too!
didmakes
the invention
of the
microscope aide scientist in thinking
about living things differently ?

THE CELL THEORY

The Cell Theory states that


All living thing are composed of
cells
All cells arise from pre-existing
cells through cellular division
The cell is the fundamental
structural and functional unit of
all living things

LETS PRACTICE

Pretend that you are


an illustrator for a
childrens book on
the Cell Theory.
Create illustrations
that could be used to
represent the three
points of the cell
theory. Be creative!
