Paper Summary:

This paper relates that, regardless of where an organism lives, from the ice of the poles to the heat of the desert, all living organisms share the process of cell growth. The touches upon the theory of evolution, cell theory, the minute construction of organisms, and the function of glycerides. The paper concludes that, for only a little more than a century, biology, chemistry and other sciences have described how life came into existence and functions.

From the Paper:

"Along with the theory of evolution, another theory that makes up the foundation of biology is cell theory. This theory is made up of three parts. First, cell theory states that all living organisms are made from other living cells. This means that everything that is alive is actually made up of a structure of smaller parts and combine to make the entire organism. These cells are microscopic so we cannot see them with the naked eye, but they are individual, each one serving its own specific purpose."
