objective
2.1.1 Outline the cell theory. 2.1.2 Discuss the evidence for the cell theory. 2.1.3 State that unicellular organisms carry out all the functions of life. 2.1.4 Compare the relative sizes of molecules, cell membrane thickness, viruses, bacteria, organelles and cells, using the appropriate SI unit.
2.1.5 Calculate the linear magnification of drawings and the actual size of specimens in images of known magnification.
2.1.6
2.1.7 2.1.8
Explain the importance of the surface area to volume ratio as a factor limiting cell size.
State that multicellular organisms show emergent properties. Explain that cells in multicellular organisms differentiate to carry out specialized functions by expressing some of their genes but not others. State that stem cells retain the capacity to divide and have the ability to differentiate along different pathways. Outline one therapeutic use of stem cells.

Who developed the cell theory? Matthias Schleiden (1838): concluded that all plants are composed of cells Theodor Schwann (1839): concluded that all animals are composed of cells Rudolph Virchow (1855): determined that cells come only from other cells
What is the cell theory? 1. All living things are composed of one or more cells 2. Cells are organisms basic units of structure and function 3. Cells come only from pre-existing cells
