    The document discusses the cell, which is the basic unit of structure and function of living organisms. It provides the following key points: 1. Cells were first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope. He saw tiny compartments and named them "cells". 2. Subsequent scientists like Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Brown, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow contributed to the development of the cell theory through their microscopic observations of cells. 3. The cell theory states that all living things are made of one or more cells, cells only arise from preexisting cells, and the cell is the basic functional unit of life.

    CELL

    THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF


    LIFE
    WHAT IS
    CELL?
    Cell comes from the Latin
    word “cella”which means
    small room

    Cell is the basic structure of


    functional unit of living
    organism.
    HOW CELL
    WHO
    IS
    DISCOVERED
    DISCOVERED?
    CELL?
    1.All known living things are
    made up of one or more cells

    CELL
    2.All living cells arise from
    pre-existing cell by division

    THEORY
    3.The cell is the basic unit of
    structures and function in all
    living organism
    CELL THEORY
    TIMELINE
    ROBERT
    HOOKE The first person to see a
    cell under a microscope

    1665- Discovered a
    maltitude of tin pores that he
    named “Cell”
    Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
    1632 -1723 found motile
    object under the microscope
    called “Animalcules”

    Dutch Lens maker used a


    homemade microscope
    to look at some pond scum
    ROBERT BROWN
    Discovered Nucleus within
    the cell

    noticed that pollen


    grains in water jiggled around
    called “Brownian motion”
    THEODOR SCHWANN
    Theorized that animals develop
    cells that divide into new cells

    Contributed to the
    creation of the cell theory
    RODULF VIRCHOW
    German medical doctor who
    observed under the microscope
    cells dividing

    He is known as the
    “Father of Pathology”
    UNICELLULAR ORGANISM
    An organism that is made up of only one cell is called
    unicellular organism

    Bacteria

    Amoeba

    Protozoan
    MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
    An organism that is made up of more that one cell is
    called multicellular organism .

    Dog

    Cat

    Human
    TRIVIA AND FACTS
    The longest cells in the human body are the motor
    neurons. They can be up to 4.5 feet (1.37 meters) long
    and run from the lower spinal cord to the big toe.

    The largest cell, a fertilized egg, is too small to be seen


    with the naked eye.

    Your body has more bacterial cells than human cells.

    Cells don't worry about tomorrow.
