What is the cell theory?
The rigid outer layer that supports and protects plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
A preparation made from weakened or dead pathogens that helps the body build immunity.

According to this theory, all new cells come from existing cells.
What is the cell theory?
This structure is larger in plant cells and stores water to keep the plant upright.
What is the central vacuole?
The body system that defends against disease.

What is the cell membrane?
Vaccines protect you by causing the body to produce these protective proteins.

What are the three main parts of the cell theory?
The reason plant cells have a boxy shape, while animal cells are more rounded.
What is the presence or absence of a cell wall?
These special immune cells “remember” a pathogen so your body can fight it faster next time.

This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is Cytoplasm?
The idea that life could arise from non-living things, later disproved by the cell theory.
