1. Foundations of Cell Theory

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Cell : the basic structural and functional unit of every living organism

Essential Points

πŸ“Œ Organisms may be unicellular, consisting of a single cell, or multicellular, consisting of many cells.

πŸ“Œ New cells form only through the division of pre-existing cells.

  • All living things are made of cells.

  • The foundation of Cell Theory consists of:

    • All living things are made of cells
    • Cells are the basic units of life
    • All cells come from pre-existing cells

Memory Hook
