Document Summary
Based on lecture and text material, you should be able to do the following: 1: common characteristics of cells (pp 65-67, cell theory. The cell is the basic unit of life. The activity of an organism is dependent on the individual and collective activities of its. The biochemical activities of cells are determined by subcellular structures. Most cells are small, depend on external energy sources, selectively regulate exchange of material with their environments and use information in their dna to regulate their chemistry: totipotency. Each cell contains the genetic information necessary to produce an entire organism. There are many examples where an entire plant can be produced from only a small part of a plant. Organelles can be sustained in culture but none can reproduce an entire cell, not even the nucleus. There is tremendous diversity in diameter, length and shape of different cells. Polar phosphate heads and non-polar lipid tails orient initially through hydrophilic.
