Chapter 3 WebQuest : Cell Basics
Cell Theory:
1. ALL living things are made of one or more cells.
2. Cells are the basic units of structure & function in organisms.
3. ALL cells arise from existing cells.
Cell Structure:
*The cell has a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and organelles that help carry out the life functions of the cell.

Time for a Power Break!!!
*We all need energy to exercise, eat your lunch, and do other necessary things. The cell has to get energy from somewhere in order to carry out its daily activity as well.
