Diversity Of Life

3. All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many millions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope. Different tissues and organs are made up of different kinds of cells. The cells in similar tissues and organs in other animals are similar to those in human beings but differ somewhat from cells found in plants and from bacterial cells. (AKSci - A.10)

• Conduct laboratory investigations to classify and categorize cells according to shape and function.
