Cells as Building Blocks of Life
Learning Objective
I can describe how cells are the basic building blocks of living things.
Key Concepts
All living things are made of one or more cells, which are the basic building blocks of life.
The three basic parts of animal and plant cells are the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.
Plant cells have two additional parts: the cell wall, which provides support, and chloroplasts, which create sugar through photosynthesis.
