IB Biology HL Exam Review Latest Version Already Graded A Outline the cell theory. Living organisms are composed of cells. Cells are the smallest unit of life. Cells come from pre-existing cells. Discuss the evidence for the cell theory. The nature of scientific theories could be introduced here: the accumulation of evidence that allows a hypothesis to become a theory; whether a theory should be abandoned when there is evidence that it does not offer a full explanation; and what evid...

IB Biology Topic 1: Cell Biology Latest Update Graded A Cell theory The theory that cells form the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms. Differentiation The expression of a particular gene(s) and not others in order for cell specialisation. Emergent properties The idea that the sum of an organism is more than the parts interacting and combining. Living things become more complex as they move (from individual cells to organ systems). Multicellular...
