This tool was made for my Honors Biology class.

The three components of cell theory:

1. All organisms are made up of at least one cell and the  life processes of metabolism and heredity occur inside these cells
2. Cells are the smallest and most basic living units of organisms
3. Cells are conceived only through the division of an already existing cell

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

Prokaryotes are not compartmentalized. This means that they do not have separate organelles/sections within themselves. Eukaryotes are compartmentalized.
