Document Summary
Cells are the subject of hundreds of thousands of publications each year. Discovery of cells is credited to robert hooke. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the structural unit of life. Cells can arise only by division from a pre-existing cell. Life is the most basic property of cells. First culture of human cells was by george and martha gey in 1951. The more complex a structure, the greater number of parts and the less tolerance of errors in the nature and interactions of the parts. Each type of cells has a consistent appearance when viewed under a microscope. Organisms are build according to information encoded in a collection of genes which are constructed of dna. Genes are more than storage lockers for information: constitute the blueprints for constructing cellular structures. Every biological process requires the input of energy. For most animal cells, energy arrives prepackaged often in the form of the sugar glucose.
