IB SL Biology: Cells
  1. Cell Theory
    1. 1. All living organisms are composed of cells
      1. 2. Cells are the smallest unit of life
        1. 3. Cells come from pre-existing cells
      2. Proof
        1. One sealed soup container: no decay
          1. Other open soup container: decay
            1. Bacteria in air

            1. Differentiation
              1. Cells specialise in different functions
                1. Genes needed to specialise
                  1. Once specialised, cell is committed
              2. Exhibits emergent properties
                1. More than sum of parts - complex interations
              3. Unicellular
                1. Single cell = all functions of life

                        1. Small number of embryonic cells still retained by adult body
