toc **Essential Question 1 - Why is the cell considered the basic unit of all life?**

=Tiffany=  Cells are the basic unit of our daily life because every living thing hs cells. Cells are like a part of our daily life, it’s impossible to have a day without cells. There are more than a million of cells in our body. More than one cell makes a tissue. More than one tissue make organ. If more organs join together they become organ system. One or more organism comes together turns in to organism. And as you know we have many organism in our body so there would be many many tissues and cells in our body. Cells effect so much on our daily life, if there weren’t cells then no living thing would be on earth and humans won’t even exist.

=Natasha= A cell is considered a basic unit of life. Because every living thing is made of cells. The cells that made us were made from dead cells. cells help each organism to function. If there were no cells anything living would be dead. cells are made from tissues tissues are also in our body. Cells are also the smallest living thing in the human body. That is why cells are so important to the living world. I am so glad there are cells in the world. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=plant+cells&m=text

=Kailey = Why is the cell considered the basic unit of life? Well, all living things are composed of cells. All cells originated from a pre-existing cell, except, of course, for the first cell. There are many different types of cells that belong to different organisms. Each cell has a different purpose or function that the organism needs to stay alive. For example, take myself. I am made up of different organs, tissues, and cells.(organs and tissues are also made up of cells)without the cells, my body wouldn’t be able to function, I would be dead. No, not even dead, I wouldn’t exist. The world wouldn’t exist....well it would, but not a single thing would be living in it. Cells make up life!

For example, organisms are made from organ systems, organ systems are made from organs, organs are made from tissues, and tissues are made from cells. This means that all cells come from existing cells and all living things come from cells.

=Angela= The cell is considered the basic unit of all life because it is the cells that make tissues, tissues that make organs, organs that make organ system, organ system that makes organism.

Cindy: Hahahah your bro is so cute and funny...I love your video! Straight to the point~ Angela: Esther, I like your video a lot. Really funny, and straight forward. Nice job! =Cindy= The cell is considered the basic unit of life because ALL living things are made out of one or more cell. Cells make tissues, tissues make organs, lots of organs make organ systems, and organ systems make an organism like me and you. Cells come from old cells. Without cells, there would be no living things. Cells are and smallest and basic unit of life. If cells didn't exist, the world would be dead.

=Ryan= The cell is conssidered the basic unit of life, because everything is made from cells. Its kind of like a brick of a roof. So cells create tissues, tissues create organs, organs create organ systems, and organ systems create an orginism! Cells dont just magically appear do they? No all cells come from old cells. Nothing would be here if there werent cells...

=SoHyeon= Cells are the basic unit of life because everything is made up of cells. All cells come from exisisting cells.

Mrs. McD: Where did you get your picture from?

= David =

=Jeff= The cell is the basic unit of life because cells make up human beings. Without cells there wouldn't be Giraffes or hippos r humans. Without cells there is no tissues. Without tissues you have no organs. Without organs you don't have any organ systems. And without organ systems you have no Organism. Cells come from an old cell, the old cell splits up into two. THats why cells are so important.

=**Michael**= Cells are the smallest structures capable of basic life processes, such as taking in nutrients, expelling waste, and reproducing. Cells combine to make organs, organs combine to make organ systems, organ systems combine to make organism like humans and animals

=Alex=

A cell is the basic unit of life because it is the building blocks of all life. All life are made up of some number of cells, whether its a single celled organism, or living creatures like humans, where cells make up tissues, which make up organs, which make up organ systems, which make up the body as a whole.
