    This document provides an overview of biology and its key concepts. It defines biology as the study of living things and outlines the 5 main characteristics of living things: made of cells, obtain and use energy, grow and develop, respond to the environment, and reproduce. It then explores each of these characteristics in more detail, discussing the differences between unicellular and multicellular organisms, the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, types of growth and development as well as reproduction, and how organisms interact with their environments. The document emphasizes that all living things share these essential characteristics and processes but have evolved in diverse ways.

    The Cell Theory

    Pattern Component of the Cell Theory: a


    pattern observed in nature

    Cells are first described and identified


    Hooke, 1665 and van Leeuwenhoek.
    Plant tissues composed of cells Malphigi,
    1670's
    Schleiden and Schwann all organisms
    are composed of cells.

    The first view of cells: Robert Hookes drawing from 1665

    Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to view a single-celled animalcules


    in pond water.
