The Cell Theory

• The cell is the basic unit of structure and function (a.k.a. – life)

• All living things are made up of 1 or more cells• Cells come from other, preexisting cells (a.k.a.

– reproduction)

What is a cell?• It is the smallest unit of life that

carries out life functions

What’s Inside?• Organelles

– tiny structures within a cell that perform specific jobs to keep the cell alive
