Document Summary
Cells can only come from other cells. Hierarchy of things cells are in the middle. The study of cells at the microscopic and molecular level: properties of cells, the structures of their organelles, movements of macromolecules to di erent organelles, specialized cells in multicellular organisms, interactions between cells. Biotechnology, forensics, medicine, society should make informed decisions (gm plants, lab grown organs, human genome editing, fund basic science) Nobel prizes are for studying fundamental processes, not studying speci c diseases. Cells possess a genetic program and the means to use it; genes form proteins (dna is transcribed to rna and translated into protein) Cells are capable of producing more of themselves e. g. mitosis and meiosis. Cells can acquire and utilize energy photosynthesis and respiration (sun carbs atp) Cells carry out chemical reactions metabolism; enzymes aid in cellular metabolic processes (use atp)
