12. Chloroplast12. Chloroplast

• PLANT cells, contains chlorophyll

13. Cell Wall13. Cell Wall

• PLANT cells only, protect & support

14. Cell Membrane14. Cell Membrane

Cell TheoryCell Theory

• Explains the basic role of cells in living things

3 parts3 parts

• 1. All living things are made of cells

3 parts3 parts

• 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things

– structure- what it is made of

– function- what it does

3 parts3 parts

• 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells
