CELLS
-is the smallest unit of a living thing
•-is the basic building block of all
organisms.
•A living thing can be composed of
either one cell or many cells.
•TYPES OF CELLS
•- prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Cells can be highly specialized with
specific functions and characteristics.
How were cells discovered?
The
microscope
led to the
discovery of
cells
CELL THEORY
•1. ROBERT HOOKE-
•-an English scientist
that used a compound
microscope to examine thin
slices of cork,
• the tough outer
bark of a tree.
•-he coined the term “cell”.
• When he
discovered the
cork had holes in it,
he named the
holes cells
• He thought the
cork holes looked
like empty rooms
2. Anton Van
Leeuwenhoek- -one of
the first people to
describe living cells when
he observed single-celled
organisms (“
animalcules”) swimming
in a drop of pond water.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
• Was the first person
to describe living cells
in 1670’s
• He looked at a drop of
pond water under a
microscope
• To his surprise, he
found that a drop of
water was full of living
things
• He observed
unicellular organisms
Where do cells come from?
• In 1850’s, the answer to the question was
answered
•People studying all types of living cells
observed the same thing-that cells divide
•Using a microscope, it was evident where
cells come from, life comes from life ,or one
cell comes from another cell.
•These observations and evidence were
gathered and summarized into the cell
theory
I. Cell Theory
➢ Matthias Schleiden
➢Theodor Schwann
➢Rudolf Virchow
A. All organisms are composed of one or
more cells
B. The cell is the basic unit of life in all living
things
C. All cells come from existing cells
Cell
Eukaryotic Cell
Structures & Organelles
1. Nucleus 8. Vacuoles
2. Ribosomes 9. Endoplasmic
3. Cell membrane Reticulum (E.R.)
4. Cell wall 10. Mitochondria
5. Cytoplasm 11. Lysosomes
6. Chloroplast 12. Centriole
7. Golgi Apparatus
Animal vs. Plant Cells
1. Nucleus- Contains the cell’s DNA &
is the control center of the cell
Nucleolus
-In the center of the nucleus
-Produces the ribosomes
.Chromosome
-are thread-like systematized structures
that are made up of a combination
of DNA and protein.
-responsible for making the organisms
what they are by helping a cell to grow,
expand and reproduce.
Nucleoplasm (karyolymph)
-the colloidal solution enclosed by the
nuclear membrane, more viscous
than cytoplasm.
Animal vs. Plant Cells
Ribosomes
-site of protein
synthesis
Smooth ER
-mostly contains enzymes
that function in lipid
synthesis)
Animal vs. Plant Cells
10. Mitochondria- “powerhouse of
the cell”
- supplies energy to the cells
(ATP)
Mitochondria are like the
human digestive system
because the digestive
system breaks down food
to supply the body with
energy like the
mitochondria breaks
down food to supply the
cell with energy.
Mitochondria
Animal vs. Plant Cells
11. Lysosome - digests wastes, worn
out cell parts, and foreign invaders
