EXPLAIN - CELL THEORY POSTULATES
Postulates of Cell Theory are:
1. All living organisms are made
up of of cells.
2. Cells are the basic structural
and functional unit of life in all
living things
3. Cells arise from pre- existing
living cells
Discussion time: Share your understanding on the postulates
Cell Theory: Postulate 1 -All living organisms are made
up of of cells.
Cells/ organisms are sorted based on
1. Cell number
2. Size of the cell
3. Cell shape
4. Cell function
Cell Theory: Postulate 2 - Cells are the basic structural and
functional unit of life in all living things
Thinking questions/Reflect:
● Write down your understanding from the above statement
● List the different cells in the human body?
● Are the structure of cell related to function? Explain and
give examples
Pen down your thoughts in your notebook
Cell Theory: Postulate 3 -Cells arise from pre- existing
living cells
Extension/Reflect
Think about these questions:
- Imagine one cell carrying
out all the functions.
- Imagine having multiple
cells carrying one specific
function.
