Cell Theory Schleiden Schwann Virchow Three Parts: 1) All organisms are made of one or more cells 2) Cells are the basic unit of structure and function 3) All Cells come from cells that already exist. What’s the big problem with this theory? Schwann Virchow
Schleiden 1838-Concluded that all plants are made up of cells
Schwann 1855-concluded that all animals are made up of cells
Virchow Concluded that all cells come from other cells
Cell Categories 1) Prokaryote: Pro-Before Karyote-nucleus No membrane around nucleus Oldest cells known (~4 billion years old) Believed to have evolved first (oldest fossils) AKA: Bacteria
Cell Categories 2) Eukaryote: Cells with a nucleus & membrane bound organelles Have a membrane around the nucleus More complex cells Evolved from prokaryotes Ex: Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals
How are living things organized? Living things are organized into one of 6 kingdoms. A Kingdom is a large group that shares some similar characteristics The 6 Kingdoms are: Archeobacteria Eubacteria Protists Fungi Plants Animals
Quick Review Cells shape is related to its job (function) Cells are the basic units of life Cells come from other cells
