Document Summary
Living systems such as the human body consist of closely interrelated elements. There are a lot of many small molecules found in cells. Light (through photosynthesis) or compounds with high potential energy (respiration) this allows adp and a p group to make atp which is used for energy (a p group breaks releasing energy and the cycle continues). Atp is the most common molecule by cells to capture and transfer energy. 1665: robert hooke observed cork under the microscope and saw multiple. 1674: antony van leeuwenhoek observed live cells and named them animalcules. Schleiden, schwann, virchow, and others led to the development of cell theory. All living things are composed of cells and their products. Cells are the basic building blocks of life. New cells are generated from existing cells by division. Cells from different kingdoms share similar structure, composition and metabolic features that have been conserved throughout evolution.
