3.1 Cell Theory
UNIT CONCEPT Cells are chemical systems with emergent properties.
3.1 Cell Theory
The Cell theory has three principles.– 1) All organisms are made of at least one cell.– 2) All existing cells are produced by other living cells.– 3) The cell is the most basic unit of life.
Nothing simpler is considered a living system
3.1 Cell Theory
All cells have a common origin in the history of life.• All cells share certain characteristics.
– *most are microscopic.– enclosed by a membrane.– filled with cytoplasm.– DNA– Ribosomes:

3.1 Cell Theory
• Cells can be categorized based on the presence of certain structures.• Eukaryotic cells have a
nucleus:– (Greek): (Greek): – karuonkaruon – “kernel” – “kernel”– eueu – “true” – “true”
nucleus
cell membrane
organelles
3.1 Cell Theory
Cells can be categorized based on the presence of certain structures:• prokaryotic cell types do not
have a true nucleus.– propro – “before” – “before”
• Obsolete term?
nucleus
cell membrane
organelles

Questions:• How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ?
3.1 Cell Theory
Answers:• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound
organelles; prokaryotic cells generally do not.
