Today we continued adding to our knowledge of Cell Theory, as well as the differences and similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. We also received a new addition to our family: Sir Mojo Jojo. He appears to be a red spotted toad. One of the seniors at our school found him and donated him to our class. Perhaps he will become BFF's with Frankie and Johnny!

Describe the theory of Spontaneous Generation.
Vocabulary
- Spontaneous Generation: the theory which states that living things develop from non-living matter
- Cell Theory: (1) All living things are made up of cells. (2) Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things. (3) Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
- Prokaryotes: re a group of organisms that lack a cell nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotes: an organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane-bound structure that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleus.
