Document Summary

The cell theory is that cells are the basic unit structure and function of every living thing. This contains three main ideas: cells are the building blocks of structure in living things, they are the smallest unit of life, cells are formed from other, pre-existing cells by division. Two additional concepts have been added today: cells store all the information they require for growth, development and behaviour, cells are the location for all the chemical reaction needed for life, metabolism. 2. 1. 2 - discuss the evidence for the cell theory. Cells are the building blocks of structure in living things. All living things observed through microscopes have been found to be made up of cells, proving that living things are made up of cells. They can only reproduce at the expense of the cell"s metabolic machinery. They cannot obtain life from any other source.

Characteristics of Living Things (50 points)

Living things share 8 characteristics (listed in Chapter 1 of your textbook on page 19). A living thing grows, undergoes metabolism, responds to its environment, reproduces, passes DNA to the next generation, maintains homeostasis, changes over time, and is made up of cells. A non-living thing may seem to do one or more of these things, but to be classified as living; all eight characteristics must be present. Sometimes, you may see something that seems alive but is not. Though you canât see it, you have likely experienced it; one of those things is a virus.

Answer BOTH of the following questions:

Using all 8 of the characteristics that define life, indicate which one(s) viruses have and which one(s) they do not, and explain each difference.

With these results, present an argument that a virus is a living thing. Then, present the opposite argument that viruses are not alive.
