Formed from Robert Hooke’s 1665 observations of cork cells. (Meaning literally cells extracted from corks).
All living organisms are composed of cells
Although the smallest organisms may consist of one cell only
Cells are the smallest unit of life
Nothing smaller can survive independently
Cells come from pre-existing cells
by cell division – and therefore new cells cannot be constructed from non-living chemical substances.
All living organisms carry out the 7 functions of life. (A good acronym to remember them is Ms.GrenHM)
Essentially, the sum of all the enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions taking place in the organism. (The breaking down and and formation of compounds within the organism done pointedly.)
The organism to sense and react to changes in it's environment.
An irreversible increase in size.
The production of offspring. (Sexually or asexually.)
Excretion of metabolic waste from the organism.
Obtaining food to provide energy and materials for other functions of life.
Keeping conditions inside the organism within tolerable limits
The process of moving your body/a body part from one position to another
