The Cell Theory
1.All living organisms are
composed of one or more
cells.
2.Cells are the basic units
of structure and function
in all organisms.
3.All cells come from
previously existing cells.
Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
• Prokaryote
A cell that does not contain a
nucleus or other membrane
bound organelles
o E.g. Bacteria
o
• Eukaryote
A cell that contains a nucleus
and other organelles, each
surrounded by a membrane
o E.g. Animal or plant cell
o
Bacteria (Prokaryote)
Plant Cell (Eukaryote)
Animal Cell (Eukaryote)

Job of Cells
The main job of all cells is to make
proteins
Different cells make different types
Protein production:
Ribosome 
Endoplasmic Reticulum 
Golgi Apparatus 
Final Destination of the Protein (may be outside of the
cell)
