I. While cells differ in size and shape, most of them have a common structure. They have three
basic parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Can you describe the feature(s) of each?
1. Cell membrane A cell membrane is the cell’s outer membrane. It separates metabolic
activities from events outside of the cell, but does not isolate the cell’s interior. Water, carbon
dioxide and oxygen can cross it freely. Other substances cross only with the assistance of
membrane proteins while some, are kept out entirely.
2. Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts,
and various organic molecules.
3. Nucleus It contains the cell’s hereditary information and controls the cell’s growth and
reproduction.
II. Fill in the diagram below by writing the corresponding organelles found in each type of cell.
Write in the middle part the common features (organelles) of the two types of cells.

What are the ideas included in the modern version of the Cell Theory?
The modern version of the cell theory includes the ideas that:
The cell contains hereditary information (DNA) which is passed on from cell to another during cell
division.
All cells are basically the same in chemical composition and metabolic activities.
All basic chemical and physiological functions are carried out inside the cell.
Cell activity depends on the activities of sub-cellular (organelles) structures within the cell.
