What is the cell theory?
all living things dispose of food, cells are the second smallest living organism of things, and all new cells are dead at first
macromolecules form when long chains of molecules called nucleotides join together
all living things are made up of one or more cells, the cell is the smallest unit of life, and all new cells come from preexisting cells
