Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all living things
All cells contain specialized structures (organelles) to perform functions necessary for life
All organisms are made of one or more cells and come from other cells by reproduction

When the solute concentration inside and outside of the cell is equal. This is called an isotonic solution. Water goes
in and out; cell stays the same.

Name the 2 reasons cells cannot be the size of a basketball and explain.
1. Geometry: Volume increases faster than surface area which makes it hard for membrane to keep up with needs of the cell
2. Practical aspects: Nucleus can’t handle that big of a job.
