    Study Notes

    Cell Theory

    • Robert Hooke (1665) and Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1675) observed and drew the first cells using microscopes.
    • Cell theory principles:
      • All living things are made of one or more cells.
      • Cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of life.
      • All cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division.
      • Cells contain genetic material passed to daughter cells during division.

    Levels of Biological Organization

    • Organization from smallest to largest:
      • Atom: The simplest unit of life (e.g., oxygen).
      • Molecule: Two or more atoms combined (e.g., carbon dioxide). Essential for biochemistry.
      • Organelle: Subcellular subunit with specific functions.
      • Cell: Basic building block, contains hereditary information (DNA) and replicates (mitosis).
      • Tissue: Specialized group of cells performing a particular function (multicellular organisms).
      • Organ: Group of tissues working together for a specific function (e.g., the heart pumps blood).
      • System: Group of organs and tissues working together for major functions (e.g., the digestive system).
      • Organism (Individual): The complete living entity.
