Cells are the smallest unit of life. All cells are bound by a cell membrane which separates the internal parts of the cell from the external environment.

For the final part of this Case assignment, describe cell theory (hint: there are three components). Briefly describe the work of two scientists that contributed to this theory. Be sure to include your references for this answer.

What does the video say is the function of:

-Cytoskeleton
-mictochondria
-DNA

Note: The assignment will require you to engage in independent research of cell theory. You will find information on scientists who contributed to this theory in your required reading for your SLP. You will also find additional resources on your ebrary bookshelf, such as the book, Cell Biology: Fundamentals and Applications, a great place to begin your investigation of cell theory and cell biology.
