Review

Write on the strips of

paper on what you know
about the CELL.
How do we know what we
know about cells?
Is there a universal truth when
it comes to cells, or are there
competing ideas about their
development?
Learning Competency
The learners should be able
to:
Explain the postulates of
the cell theory
(STEM_BIO11/12-Ia-c-1)
GROUP ACTIVITY
Watch videos entitled “Cell Theory” and
“The Wacky History of the Cell Theory”.
After watching the videos, make a
concept map about the development of
cell theory.
 Guide Questions:
A. What was the important discovery made
by Hooke?
B. What was the discovery made by Anton
van Leeuwenhoek?
C. What were the conclusions of Schwann
and Schleiden based from what they
have discovered? Summarize the
conclusions of these scientists

more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and
organization in organisms

Answer:
C. Cell
Who coined the term cell?
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
b. Robert Hooke
c. Theodore Schwann
d. Rudolf Virchow
Answer:

What were the wall –like structures that
Robert Hooke observed while viewing cork
under a lens?
a. Cytoplasm
b. Cell Wall
c. Vacuole
d. Nucleus
Answer:
B. Cell wall
How would you relate the
process of the formulation of
cell theory in your learning?
Let us sing the Cell Theory
Song!

How many postulates of cell

theory are there? What are
these theories?
Multiple Choice
 Read and analyze the following statements carefully.
Choose only the letter of the best answer.
 1. Which of the following is NOT a postulate of the
cell theory?
a. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
b. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
c. Cells are mostly made up of oxygen.
d. The cell is a fundamental unit of structure of all
organisms.
2. According to the cell theory, all
organisms are made up of one or more
____
a. Tissue
b. DNA
c. Cells
D. All of these choices
3. These two scientists individually
discovered that all organisms are made
up of one or more cells.
a. Schleiden and Schwann
b. Virchow and Hooke
c. Aristotle and Plato
d. Hooke and Schwann
4. What was Matthias Schleiden’s
contribution to the cell theory?
a. He proposed that all plants are made up
of cells.
b. He proposed that all animals are made
up of cells.
c. He coined the term “cells”
d. All of these choices
5. All organisms are multicellular
a. True, as animals and plants are
multicellular.
b. True, an organism can only be
called an organism if it has many cells
c. False, organisms are not made up of
cells.
d. False, an organism can be
unicellular or multicellular.
