Biomg1350 chapter 1 cells: the fundamental units of life and intracellular c: 1-26, 487-491. Cells: all organisms (living things) are built from cells. Small, membrane enclosed units filled with a concentrated aqueous solution of chemicals ability to create copies of themselves by growing and then dividing in two. Simple forms of life are solitary cells. Communities of cells derived by growth and division from a single founder cell. Each cell has a specialized function regulated by cell-to-cell comm. Fundamental units of life: cell biology. The study of cells and their structure, function, and behavior. Unity and diversity of cells: estimated up to 100 million distinct species of living things on our planet, cells vary enormously in appearance and function. Paramecium: shaped like a submarine, covered with cilia. Surface layer plant cell the cell forward: squat and immobile, surrounded by a rigid box of cellulose with an outer waterproof coating of wax.
