Q

the cell theory:

A
  1. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things.
  2. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
  3. Cells are from other cells through cellular division.
  4. Cells carry genetic material passed to daughter cells during cellular division.
  5. All cells are essentially the same in chemical composition.
  6. Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells.

and other membrane-bound organelles

A

eukaryotic

32
Q

Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have a ________________

A

cell wall

33
Q

  • DNA contains all the
    instructions for making proteins which control all of the body’s activities
  • manager’s office of the cell
A

nucleus

34
Q
