Introduction to the Cell Definition – A cell is the smallest unit of structure and function of living things that carries on life processes.
A. Discovery of the Cell Robert Hooke ( 1665) – 1st to see cells; looked at cork (dead plant cell); box-shaped structures looked like monk’s rooms called ‘cells’.
A. Discovery of the Cell Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (1673) – 1st to see living cells. Scraped mouth: bacteria, yeast. Water: Protozoans, “Animalcules”.
A. Discovery of the Cell Matthias Schleiden (1838) – Botanist, concluded all plants are made of cells.
A. Discovery of the Cell Theodor Schwann (1839) – Zoologist, concluded all animals are made of cells

Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 Cell Theory
A. Discovery of the Cell This information gave evidence for the Cell Theory: Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things. All living things are made of cells. Cells come only from the reproduction of other living cells.

Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Objectives Explain the relationship between cell shape and cell function. Identify the factor that limits cell size. Describe the three basic parts of a cell. Compare prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Analyze the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
B. Cell Diversity Cell Size Most cells are only visible with microscope. Cell size varies from 2 m to .2m (.2 x 10-6) Examples: Bacteria - 0.2 m (.000008 in. or 8 millioneth in.) Giraffe leg nerve – 2 m (6 ½ ft.) Eggs Most body and plant cells – 10 to 50 m (.002 in.)
Think & Discuss: Chapter 4 Cell Size Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Think & Discuss: Cell Size Cell size is limited by a cell’s surface area–to-volume ratio.
B. Cell Diversity Why are Cells so Small? Diffusion is too slow to move nutrients & wastes through cell. As cell size increases, volume increases at faster rate than surface area. Surface area becomes too small to allow materials to enter cell quickly enough to meet its needs.
B. Cell Diversity Cell Shape The shape of a cell helps it to perform its function. Examples: a. RBCs – concave, flexible – squeeze thru vessels b. WBCs – change shape – engulf particles c. Nerves – long, threadlike, branched – receive & send messages d. Epithelial tissue – flat, packed – protection e. Muscles – long, rod-like, contract – pull parts together

For example, the long extensions of nerve cells allow these cells to receive and transmit nerve impulses in many directions. Also, the flat shape of skin cells suits their function of covering and protecting the surface of the body.
