3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization
• All life is “cellular”
• Unicellular organisms like Archaea, Bacteria, protists
• Multicellular eukaryotes like fungi, plants, and animals
• Exceptions: Viruses are ‘acellular’ but exhibit life qualities when acting as a parasite within host cells

3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization
• The cell is the structural and functional unit of an organism, the smallest structure capable of performing all the functions necessary for life.

3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization
• Prokaryotic cells lack membrane enclosed structures. No nucleus or “organelle” compartments
• Eukaryotic cells possess membrane enclosed structures. Prominent nucleus and distinct compartments - organelles
![Page 4: 3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/568149fe550346895db72f26/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Cell Theory
• All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
• Robert Hooke, Louis Pasteur, Leuwenhoek, Virchow and others helped form the “cell theory”
![Page 5: 3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/568149fe550346895db72f26/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Cell Theory
• All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
• Cells are the basic living unit of structure and function in organisms.

The Cell Theory
• All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
• Cells are the basic living unit of structure and function in organisms.
• All cells come only from other cells.

Sizes of Living Things
![Page 8: 3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/568149fe550346895db72f26/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Surface Area / Volume Ratio
• The amount of surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of a cell.
• Cells are “small”. Their size is limited. Size is limited by S/V ratio.
![Page 9: 3.1 The Cellular Level of Organization](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/568149fe550346895db72f26/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Surface Area / Volume Ratio
• The amount of surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of a cell.
• A cells increase in volume, the proportionate amount of surface area decreases.
