•In 1665 Robert Hooke looked at a thin slice of cork and he saw that

the cork looked like little boxes. So he called them cells.

•The word “cell” in Latin means “Little rooms.”
•Matthias Schleiden (German Scientist) conclude that all plant parts are
made of cells.
•Theodor Schwann also a German Scientist concluded that all animal
parts are made of cells.
•Because of his knowledge of Schleiden’s theory, Schwann wrote the
first two parts of the cell theory which are stated in the slide.
•About 20 years later another scientist, Rudolf Virchow, discovered that
cells couldn’t develop from anything but other cells.

•Students should write this down on their worksheets.

Read from the slide, tell students that all cells have organelles,
however not all cells have membrane covered organelles.
•These types of cells have no membrane covered nucleus.
•They are bacteria cells.
•Ask students if they think that all bacteria is bad:
•Explain to them that not all bacteria is bad, that there is good bacteria.
-It is in food, like yogurt, cheese and some other dairy products.
-It is used in medicine as Antibiotics.
Some bacteria can live in extreme conditions, such as:
- In the crust of the ocean ridges, where hot gases are
leaking out constantly.
- In the very bottom of the sea, where the pressure is so
great that it would crush any other living thing and the
•More complex than bacteria cells
•They make up anything that is living, such as:
- Plants
- Animals
- Fungi
- Protists
Anything but bacteria
•Some have a cell wall and some do not.

•Have students complete the eukaryotic part of the worksheet.

Read from the slide, tell students that all cells have organelles,
however not all cells have membrane covered organelles.
Made from phospholipids layers.

•Could be considered the library of the cell.
•It contains all of the genetic materials used by the cell like DNA and
info on how to make all of the cell’s proteins.
•The nucleolus in the nucleus stores materials that will be used to make
ribosomes and cytoplasm.
Mitochondria is considered the power plant of the cell.
They must have oxygen to make ATP(which is the cell’s energy) So
that is why we need to breath.
For very active cells, there are thousands of mitochondria.
Makes proteins, which make up the cells.
The ER is like the FedEx or UPS of the cell.
•Substances move through tubular connections from one place to
another.
The ER is responsible for delivering proteins to different parts of the
cell.
Remember the lipids and proteins that were being delivered by the ER?
•When the Golgi complex or apparatus gets them, they modify and
package the proteins and lipids and ship them out of the cell.
•IT is called Golgi because it was discovered by an Italian scientist
named Camillo Golgi (he was the first to discover the organelle.)
•Talk about Vesicles and how they are formed by pinched off ER and
Golgi complex.
•Special vesicles that contain enzymes.
•When a cell engulfs a particle, the lyosomes bump into it an pour
enzymes into it. Then the particle is digested by the enzymes.
•Sometimes lyosomes break open and pour out the enzymes into the
cytoplasm. This will kill the cell.
- this is why tadpoles lose their tails
- this is why humans don’t have webbed feet. The
lyosomes kill the cells that make up the tails and webbing.
This act is a theory on how we age.
•Vacuoles are found only in plants.
•Can anyone tell me what happens when you don’t water a plant for a
couple of days or week? It goes limp and the leaves droop.
•Vacuoles that are full of water and air, support the cell.
•When the water and air is lost, the plants go limp. That is why we
have to water plants!
•The pressure that the water uses to keep the plant up right is called
Turger pressure.
•Ask students what Trees are made of. What makes them so big?
Water and air!
•The strength of billions of cell walls ill be able to make a tree stand up
tall and bear huge limbs.
•Cell walls are made up of a material called cellulose.
•Cellulose is a material that is intertwined together. It resembles a
blanket or even like hashbrown potatoes all piled up.
•When the plant cells are stacked on top of each other and next to each
other it looks like building blocks, or for another example, like Tupper
ware plastic containers stacked up together.
•Plant cells need energy too!
•Because plant’s don’t ingest food like we do or animals do, they have
to make their own food.
•Chloroplasts uses the sun’s light energy to make sugar. The sugar is
then used by the mitochondria to make energy.
Make sure to write this down on your worksheet.
