1: CELLS: THE FUNDAMENTAL UNITS OF LIFE


Unity and Diversity of Cells



1-1 Living systems are incredibly diverse in size, shape, environment, and behavior. It is



estimated that there are between 10 million and 100 million different species. Despite this



wide variety of organisms, it remains difficult to define what it means to say something is



alive. Which of the following can be described as the smallest living unit?



(a) DNA



(b) cell



(c) organelle



(d) protein

explain why it is false.

Despite the diversity, cells resemble each other to an

, astonishing degree in their chemistry. For example, the same 20



are used to make proteins. Similarly, the genetic



information of all cells is stored in their . Although



contain the same types of molecules as cells, their inability



to reproduce themselves by their own efforts means that they are not considered



living matter.




amino acids micrometer(s) viruses



DNA millimeter(s) yeast



fatty acids plants



meter plasma membranes




1-4 How does cellular specialization serve multicellular organisms and how might a high



degree of specialization be detrimental?

1-5 The flow of genetic information is controlled by a series of biochemical reactions that
