What are the features of the cell theory?
1) All living organisms are made of cells 2) Cells are the smallest unit of life- surrounded by a membrane 3) Cells only arise from pre-existing cells 4) Their genetic material stores instructions for cell activities 5) Site of all chemical reactions
1 of 5
Name three things that do not fit the cell theory
Skeletal muscle; Giant algae; aseptate fungal hyphae
2 of 5
How does the skeletal muscle go against the cell theory?
Multiple nuclei (100 or 200)- loads of individual cells that fused together to make one big one (30cm long) so not smallest unit of life
3 of 5
How does the giant algae go against the cell theory?
One huge cell (100mm) but only have a single nucleus so are not the smallest unit of life
4 of 5
How does the aseptate funal hyphae go against the cell theory?
The hyphae are split into compartments with each individual section surrounded by a membrane and there are multiple nuclei - not smallest unit of life
