# Unit 2 Biology - Tissues - Organs, - Systems of living things ## Celular Biology A person contains roughly 100 tillion cells - Cells are roughly 20 $`\um`$ (micrometer, $`10^{-6}`$ m), around 250 cells / cm ## Cell Theory 1. All living things are composed of cells 2. Cells are the basic units of living organisms 3. All cells came from pre-existing cells ## Types Of Cells `Prokaryotic cell`: Meaning before/lacking nucleus `Eukaryotic cell`: Means complete nucleus |Part Of Cell|Prokaryotic|Eukaryotic| |:-----------|:----------|:---------| |DNA|In nuclear region|Usually in membrane, bound nucleus| |Size|Usually smaller|Usually larger| |Organelles|Not membrane-bound, smaller|Membrane-bound, more complex| |Organization|Usually single-celled|Often multicelled| |Metabolism|May not need oxygen|Usually needs oxygen to exist|
