Chapter 4, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The features of the cell structure, which suggest that the prokaryotes and eukaryotes share a common ancestor in their evolutionary history.
Introduction:
The cell is the basic unit of life and organisms are made up of trillions of cells that contribute to the formation of different types of organs. The cell acts as the building block of life. There are different types of cells that perform different types of functions.

b) Both atoms and the cells viewed today are small. Describe at least teo ways in which atoms and cells differ?
c) What criteria can you use to distinguish between cells of the organisms belonging to different eukaryotic kingdoms (planta, animals , fungi)
Based on Baluska et al. (2004)'s paper entitled "Eukaryotic Cells and their Cell Bodies: Cell Theory Revised"
1. What are the reasons why we need to revise the cell theory? What parts of it are problematic?
2. What is the cell body being proposed by Baluska (2004) and what makes it the ‘actual’ basic unit of life?
3. What is the cell periphery apparatus? How is it related to the aforementioned cell body?
Differentiate the structures and functions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. Provide at-least 3 examples each.
Differentiate the structures and functions of plant cell and animal cell.
