| What are living things made of? | either one cell or multiple different numbers and types of cells. |
| What is the cell theory? | that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the smallest unit of life that can perform all the necessary functions of life, and that cells come from preexisting cells |
| An organism can either be... | unicellular (one cell), and multicellular (multiple cells) |
| How do unicellular organisms grow? | they grow by dividing. one bacteria splits into two, then the two splits, etc. |
| What is a colony? | a group of many bacteria living together. the colony itself always grows larger, but each individual bacterium stays the same size. |
| How do multicellular organisms grow? | they grow by producing more cells through cell division. when making more cells, the cells get bigger and specialize to form tissues and organs. this leads to the overall growth of the organism's size and complexity. |
