History of the Cell Theory copyright cmassengale
History of Cells & the Cell Theory Cell Specialization copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale First to View Cells In 1665, Robert Hooke used a microscope to examine a thin slice of cork (dead plant cell walls) What he saw looked like small boxes copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale First to View Cells Hooke is responsible for naming cells Hooke called them “CELLS” because they looked like the small rooms that monks lived in called Cells copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Anton van Leeuwenhoek In 1673, Leeuwenhoek (a Dutch microscope maker), was first to view organism (living things) Leeuwenhoek used a simple, handheld microscope to view pond water & scrapings from his teeth copyright cmassengale
Beginning of the Cell Theory In 1838, a German botanist named Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were made of cells Schleiden is a cofounder of the cell theory copyright cmassengale
Beginning of the Cell Theory In 1839, a German zoologist named Theodore Schwann concluded that all animals were made of cells Schwann also cofounded the cell theory copyright cmassengale
Beginning of the Cell Theory In 1855, a German medical doctor named Rudolph Virchow observed, under the microscope, cells dividing He reasoned that all cells come from other pre-existing cells by cell division copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale CELL THEORY 1. All living things are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism (basic unit of life) 3. Cells come from the reproduction of existing cells (cell division) copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Cell Size and Types Cells, the basic units of organisms, can only be observed under microscope Three Basic types of cells include: Bacterial Cell Animal Cell Plant Cell copyright cmassengale
Which Cell Type is Larger? _________ > _____________ > ___________ Plant cell Animal cell bacteria copyright cmassengale
Typical cells range from 5 – 50 micrometers (microns) in diameter CELL SIZE Typical cells range from 5 – 50 micrometers (microns) in diameter copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Number of Cells Although ALL living things are made of cells, organisms may be: Unicellular – composed of one cell Multicellular- composed of many cells that may organize into tissues, etc. copyright cmassengale

Prokaryotes – The first Cells Means “before nucleus” PRO NO, PRO NO, PRO NO No Nucleus Cells that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles Includes Bacteria and Archaebacterial Simplest type of cell Single, circular DNA copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Prokaryotes Region in the center contains the DNA Surrounded by cell membrane & cell wall Contain ribosomes (no membrane) in their cytoplasm to make proteins copyright cmassengale
Eukaryotes means “true nucleus” EU DO, YOU DO Cells that HAVE a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles Includes protists,fungi, plants, and animals More complex type of cells Evolved from Prokaryotes copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Eukaryotic Cell Contain 3 basic cell structures: Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm with membrane bound organelles copyright cmassengale
Two Main Types of Eukaryotic Cells Animal Cell Plant Cell copyright cmassengale

copyright cmassengale STOP copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Organelles copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Organelles Very small (Microscopic) Perform various functions for a cell Found in the cytoplasm May or may not be membrane-bound copyright cmassengale
Animal Cell Organelles Ribosome (attached) Nucleolus Ribosome (free) Nucleus Cell Membrane Nuclear envelope Mitochondrion Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Centrioles Golgi apparatus copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Plant Cell Organelles copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Cell Wall Cell wall Very tough outer layer Found in plants, fungi, & bacteria Made of cellulose in plants Made of chitin in Fungi copyright cmassengale
LIKE A WALL THAT SURROUNDS A CITY Cell Wall Supports and protects cell Found outside of the cell membrane LIKE A WALL THAT SURROUNDS A CITY copyright cmassengale
Cell or Plasma Membrane Surrounds outside of ALL cells (plant, animal & bacteria) Controls what enters or leaves the cell Provides protection and support Outside of cell Inside (cytoplasm) Cell membrane Proteins Protein channel Lipid bilayer Carbohydrate chains copyright cmassengale
Cell or plasma membrane It is like a border of a city. It is very selective (it inly allows certain thing inside)! copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Nucleus Controls the activities of the cell Contains the DNA in chromosomes Bounded by a nuclear envelope (membrane) with pores Usually the largest organelle copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale More on the Nucleus Nucleus Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes that carry genes Genes control cell characteristics Found in both plants and animal cells copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale What Does DNA do? DNA is the hereditary material of the cell Genes that make up the DNA molecule code for different proteins copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Nucleus It is like the mayor of the city. He knows and controls what happens in the city. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Cytoplasm of a Cell cytoplasm Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane Supports and protects the organelles copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale More on Cytoplasm cytoplasm Contains organelles to carry out specific jobs Found in ALL cells (plant, animal & bacteria) Like sidewalks found in the city. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Golgi Bodies Stacks of flattened sacs Processes and packages molecules, like lipids and proteins made by the cell Found in both plant and animal cells CIS TRANS Transport vesicle copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Golgi Bodies Looks like a stack of pancakes Modify, sort, & package Molecules for storage OR transport out of cell. Like the UPS of the city! copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Golgi Animation ER Golgi Body Materials are transported from Rough ER to Golgi to the cell membrane by VESICLES copyright cmassengale
Endoplasmic Reticulum - ER Found in both plant and animal cells Network of tubes Transport materials throughout the cell Two types Smooth (no ribosome) Rough (covered with ribosomes) copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Endomembrane System Includes nuclear membrane connected to ER connected to cell membrane (transport) copyright cmassengale
Endoplasmic Reticulum Like the highways in a city! copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Ribosomes Found in ALL cell types “Protein factories” for cell Join amino acids to make proteins Amino Acid Protein copyright cmassengale
Can be attached to Rough ER Be free (unattached) in the cytoplasm Ribosomes Can be attached to Rough ER OR Be free (unattached) in the cytoplasm copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Ribosomes Like a iPhone factory in the city! Takes a bunch of small parts and makes a final useful product. copyright cmassengale
Mitochondrion (plural = mitochondria) “Powerhouse” of the cell Generate cellular energy (ATP) More active cells like muscle cells have MORE mitochondria (need more energy) Both plants & animal cells have mitochondria Breaks down Glucose to release usable energy copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale MITOCHONDRIA Surrounded by a DOUBLE membrane Has its own DNA (It comes from your mom) Folded inner membrane called CRISTAE (increases surface area for more chemical Reactions) copyright cmassengale
What do mitochondria do? “Power plant” of the cell Burns glucose to release energy (ATP) Stores energy as ATP copyright cmassengale
