For while scientists have identified many years ago the right mix of the atoms and molecules that constitute cellular material‚ they have not succeeded in ‘switching it on’ to make it alive‚ or ‘breathing life’ into it (Rabago et.al‚2006) In this module you will: a. Explain the concepts of the cell theory b. Identify the parts of a cell c. Describe the function of each cell part d. Differentiate
