In the 19th century, Theodor Schwann (1810–1882) and Matthias Schleiden (1804–1881)
started developing cell theory, which states that all (a) … are made up of cells. This theory
was expanded upon by (b) … (1821–1902), who proved that cells (c)… or, in other words, all
cells come from another (d) … Meanwhile, (e) … (1852–1934) established that (f) … are
independent cells, thus stating that cell theory could also be applied to nervous (g) ....

4. What are the three main components of all cells?

a. Nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material.

b. Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material.
c. Cell wall, cytoplasm, genetic material.
d. Plasma membrane, centrosome, genetic material.

5. In 1967, Lynn Margulis presented her theory on endosymbiosis to explain the origin of
certain cellular organelles. This hypothesis states that:

a. Organelles such as mitochondria most likely originated from bacteria that were captured by
a larger ancestral anaerobic prokaryotic cell.
b. Bacteria originated from a larger ancestral anaerobic eukaryotic cell.
c. Organelles such as mitochondria most likely originated from bacteria that were captured by
a larger ancestral aerobic prokaryotic cell.
d. Prokaryotic cells originated from organelles such as mitochondria.

7. In which organisms does the eukaryotic cellular organisation model appear?

a. In unicellular and multicellular organisms.

b. Only in multicellular organisms.
c. Only in unicellular organisms.
d. Only in plants.

8. Write the mechanisms used to exchange substances through the plasma membrane.

a. ________________: molecules such as CO2 and O2 pass directly into the cell.
b. ________________: insoluble or large molecules are expelled from the cell to the outside.
c. ________________: proteins that transport substances across the membrane.
d. ________________: formation of an inward fold or invagination of the membrane towards
the inside of the cell.

9. Complete the sentences with words from the box.

Anabolism Catabolism Cellular metabolism

Cellular respiration

a. _______________ is the set of chemical reactions that occur inside the cell for it to survive,
develop and reproduce.
b. ______________ is when complex molecules are broken down into other simpler
molecules, releasing energy.
c. _____________ is when complex molecules are created from other simpler molecules,
requiring energy.
d. ______________ involves breaking down organic fuels by molecular oxygen, giving the
cell the energy that it needs.
