Part I
Cell Theory: A Timeline of Activity
Directions: Complete the timeline below to trace the significant events that led to our current
understanding of the cells. (5 points each)

How did the earlier scientists (Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, and Brown) affect the discoveries of the later
scientists?

Part II
The Classic and Modern Versions of the Cell Theory
Directions: With continuous enhancement in microscopy and further advancements in cell
biology, the theory expanded; but the original three tenets have remained the same. (12 points)
Cell Theory Vs. Spontaneous Generation
Directions: Read the passage below and answer the given question. (10 points)

A friend tells you he read somewhere that rotting garbage can turn into maggots, which are fly larvae,
and the maggots then can grow into adult flies. And this refers to a previously popular theory that a living
thing could arise or develop from a non-living thing known as spontaneous generation. What part of the
cell theory could you use to refute his claim? Limit your explanation to four sentences only.

Argument 1 Argument 2

Argument 3 Argument 4
 Part III
Cell Organelles
Directions: Fill in the following table. The first one serves as an example. (42 points)

No. Organelle Cells that have it Function Structure

Eukaryotes Contains DNA which Nuclear envelope with pores

1 Nucleus provides instructions for how
to build all proteins thereby
controlling the cell

contains DNA and the
nucleolus (where ribosomes
are assembled)
