Cell Theory
If your teacher asks what animals are made of? You might say bones, muscles, and blood. But what are those made of? The answer is cells.
Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. Some, like bacteria, may have just one cell, while others, like humans, have trillions.
The idea that all living things are made up of cells is the fundamental concept of the Cell theory.
It has three key principles: First, all living things are made of cells. Second, cells are the basic units of life. Third, all cells come from preexisting cells.
However, not all cells have the same shape and function. For example, red blood cells are oval and carry oxygen to different parts of the body, while muscle cells are elongated and help us to perform physical activities like running and lifting weights.
These specialized cells work together to form tissues, which organize into organs and eventually come together, forming larger organ systems.
