Question

ct6. match the following examples with the three generalizations of the cell theory presented.
eggs and sperm uniting
beta - inlet cell producing insulin
humans
binary fission
a cell responds to a hypotonic solution

1. all organisms are composed of one or more cell
2. the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms
3. cells arise only from the division of preexisting cells

question 12 (1 point)

Explanation:

• Eggs and sperm uniting: Cells arise only from the division of preexisting cells (as gametes are cells and their union is part of cell - related reproductive processes).
• Beta - inlet cell producing insulin: The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms (as a single cell is performing a specific function).
• Humans: All organisms are composed of one or more cells (humans are multi - cellular organisms).
• Binary fission: Cells arise only from the division of preexisting cells (binary fission is a form of cell division).
• A cell responds to a hypotonic solution: The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms (as the response is a function of the cell).

Answer:

• Eggs and sperm uniting: 3
• beta - inlet cell producing insulin: 2
• Humans: 1
• Binary fission: 3
• A cell responds to a hypotonic solution: 2
