Cell theory basics All living things are made of one or more cells
Types of microscopes mentioned and their use Light, electron, fluorescence
Evidence that something is living Contains cells, can grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce
Diseases caused by organelle or cell-membrane problems Cystic fibrosis affects cell membrane function
Homeostasis and how body systems work together to maintain internal conditions Circulatory + respiratory improves oxygen delivery
Tissue Many similar cells working together
Cell The smallest unit of life
Organ Different tissues working together to do a job
Organ system Organs that work together to perform major functions (e.g., circulatory system)
Organism A complete living thing (an animal, plant, fungus, or single-celled microbe).
Homeostasis Keeping internal conditions stable (like body temperature)
Multicellular Made of many cells (ex: human)
Unicellular Made of one cell (ex: amoeba)
