1. Who discovered cells?
2. What is the cell theory?
3. List 3 organelles found in the cell and their functions within the cell.
4. What is the purpose of the cell’s nucleus?
5. What are the 2 major differences between plant and animal cells?
6. What is homeostasis?
7. Give an example of how your body/cells maintain homeostasis.
8. What organelle is involved in cell division?
9. Give at least 3 characteristics of a Prokaryote and Eukaryote cell.

2. The, now universally accepted, theory that all living organisms are made up of cells, cells are the basic structural unit of all organisms, and that cells come from pre-existing cells

3. Nucleus - a dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material | Vacuole - a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid | Cytoplasm - the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus

4. Cell compartmentalization, Replication, Gene expression, and Processing of pre-mRNA

5. Plant cells have large central vacuoles, while animal cells have smaller separate ones. Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells don't

6. Homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. Basic terms: Homeostasis is the maintaining of balance within an organism

7. Shivering in the cold is an example. Your muscles tense up to try to keep your body warm

8. Centrioles

9. DNA, Cell, and Cytoplasm
