Document Summary
Biological science the study of the diversity of life. Organism life form composed of cells that are deined by 5 characteristics. (energy, cell, Cell highly organized compartment that is bounded by a plasma membrane. The cell theory all organisms are made out of cells and all cells come from pre-existing cells. o.
