Summarize the cell theory and explain how that applies to where cells come from. Discuss diversity in cell size, structures; cells as organisms versus cells in organisms; unicellular versus multicellular. Discuss the fundamental principles of chemistry and physics dictating cellular processes, and energy transformations involved. List the three domains that comprise the tree of life. Compare and contrast bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Criteria for self replication: require a container (compartment, have a set of instructions, mechanism to read the instructions, gather/make raw material, gather and transform energy, gather or make parts, pass instructions to replicas. All organisms are made up of cells. The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
