Document Summary

Key developments: cell theory, the theory of evolution by natural selection. Both of these developments are unified by concepts of ancestry and descent. Evolutionary relationships among species and among cells can be represented by phylogenetic trees. Cell theory: a cell is highly organized compartment bounded by a plasma membrane that contains concentrated chemicals in an aqueous solution. In general, cells contain molecular information (dna) that encodes their physical attributes (though some cells lose their dna: cells have a boundary between them and the environment, cells have the ability to harness materials and/or energy. Testing the cell theory: hypothesis: proposed explanations, prediction: something that can be measured and must be correct if a hypothesis is valid. Observation: maggots appear in meat when it is left out. Hypothesis: flies lay eggs on meat, which grow into maggots. Maggots in open jar maggots appeared in open jar. Gauze-covered jar no maggots appeared in the gauze covered jar.
