IB Biology Topic 1: Cell Biology Latest Update Graded A Cell theory The theory that cells form the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms. Differentiation The expression of a particular gene(s) and not others in order for cell specialisation. Emergent properties The idea that the sum of an organism is more than the parts interacting and combining. Living things become more complex as they move (from individual cells to organ systems). Multicellular...
