- It describes the process of aerobic respiration within a cell.
- It describes small compartments, meaning 'small room' in Latin, observed by Robert Hooke. (correct)
- It refers to the large, complex structures found in plant cells.
- It denotes the structural and functional unit of life.
Which of the following best describes the role of cells within living organisms?
Which of the following best describes the role of cells within living organisms?
- Cells function only in the decomposition of organic matter.
- Cells facilitate the process of anaerobic respiration exclusively.
- Cells serve as the structural and functional units of life. (correct)
- Cells act primarily as storage units for genetic material.
What is the primary difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration processes?
What is the primary difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration processes?
- Aerobic respiration produces less energy than anaerobic respiration.
- Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not. (correct)
- Aerobic respiration occurs only in plants, while anaerobic respiration occurs in animals.
- Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide, while anaerobic produces only carbon.

What is the function of a cell?
What is the function of a cell?
The structural and functional unit of life.
What is aerobic respiration?
What is aerobic respiration?
A process where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
What is anaerobic respiration?
What is anaerobic respiration?
A process breaking down glucose without oxygen, yielding less energy, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts.

Study Notes
- Cell is the structural and functional unit of life
Aerobic Respiration
- C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + Energy
Anarobic Respiration
- C6H12O6 -O2 -> C2 + CO2 + Energy
History
- In 1665, cells were first observed by Robert Hooke
- The term "cell" was coined by Robert Hooke
- Hooke examined a thin slice of cork cells under a self-designed microscope
- He observed small tiny compartments called 'cellulae'
- "Cellulae" is latin for small room
