Document Summary

Cell structure and function study guide concepts: cell theory is one of the basic principles of biology. Theodor schwann (1810 1882), matthias schleiden (1804 1881), and rudolph virchow (1821 1902) made this well-formulated idea: according to cell theory, Cells are the building blocks of all types of living things. They can be either unicellular or multicellular in nature. The cell is the most fundamental unit of life. Pre-existing cells give rise to new cells. (they aren"t the result of natural selection. : the current version of the cell theory incorporates the following concepts: Dna (genetic information) is passed down from generation to generation. The chemical makeup of all cells is the same: the nucleus is the cell"s command center. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell"s genetic material (dna). Inside the cell, the cytoplasm is a gel-like fluid. It serves as a catalyst for chemical reactions. It serves as a platform for all other organelles in the cell to function.

â¢ What is the structural and functional unit of living things? In other words, what is considered the basic building block of LIFE?

â¢ What three structures are found in the cells of ALL organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic? You may have to look at the pictures of the cells in the Basic Microscopy lab manual content to find all three structures. Note: plasma membrane = cell membrane

â¢ List the major differences in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? Include the location of genetic material in a eukaryotic versus prokaryotic cell.

â¢ List the organelles found in a eukaryotic cell that are not found in a prokaryotic cell. You may have to look at the pictures of the cells in the Basic Microscopy lab manual content to find all of these.
