History of the Cell Janet Plowe, 1931 Rudolph Virchow, 1855
Theodor Schwann, 1839 Matthias Schleiden, 1838 See pages Janet Plowe demonstrated how the cell membrane works. Janet is on here because she’s a woman and recent! Not for testing. Anton von Leeuwenhoek, 1674 Robert Hooke, 1665

Robert Hooke naturalist, philosopher, inventor, architect
Robert Hooke naturalist, philosopher, inventor, architect.... (July 18, March 3, 1703) In 1665 Robert Hooke publishes his book, Micrographia, which contains his drawings of sections of cork as seen through one of the first microscopes (shown at right). He was the first person to use the term “cells”. 1665 – Robert Hooke publishes his book which contains his drawings of sections of cork as seen through one of the first microscopes. Coined the term “cells”.

Anton van Leeuwenhoek 1632-1723
In 1673 Anton van Leeuwenhook perfects the simple microscope and observes cells and microorganisms. He discovered bacteria in 1674 and four years later, he discovers protozoa. 1673 – Anton van Leeuwenhook – perfects the simple microscope and observes cells and microorganisms. Four years later, he discovers protozoa.

Cell Theory Cell Theory Matthias Schleiden
all plants are made of cells Theodore Schwann all animals are made of cells Rudolf Virchow all cells came from pre-existing cells Cell Theory
6
Cell Theory Cell Theory all living things are made up of cells
Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants are made of cells (1838) Theodore Schwann concluded that all animals are made of cells (1839) Rudolf Virchow concluded that all cells came from pre-existing cells (1855) Cell Theory all living things are made up of cells cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism new cells are produced from existing cells

Cell Specialization Cells in organisms are specialized to perform different tasks. Photos from Biology, Prentice Hall Red Blood Cells Levels of Organization: how organisms are arranged from simple to complex Muscle Cells Stomata
8
The Levels of Organization
Multicellular organisms are arranged from simple to complex according to their level of cellular grouping. Levels of Organization: how organisms are arranged from simple to complex cell tissue organ organ system organism
9
Levels of Organization
What is the benefit of being made of all of these cells? Level Function Example Organ system Different organs function together Nervous System Organ Different tissues function together Brain Tissues Similar cells function together Nervous Tissue Cells Cells can perform special jobs Neuron

Cell Types PROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE No nucleus
No membrane-bound organelles Small ribosomes Binary fission Evolved 3.5 billion years ago Found only in Archaebacteria and Eubacteria Kingdoms EUKARYOTE Has nucleus Many organelles Larger ribosomes Mitosis Evolved 1.5 billion years ago Includes Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia Kingdoms
11
Cell Type: Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes, which includes all bacteria, are the simplest cellular organisms. They have genetic material but no nucleus. Bacteria cells Typical bacteria cell
12
Cell Types: Eukaryotes
Eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus and numerous membrane -enclosed organelles (e.g., mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus) not found in prokaryotes.
13
Different Types of Cells
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic no nucleus no nucleus nucleus nucleus small ribosomes larger ribosomes small ribosomes larger ribosomes no organelles no organelles organelles organelles very small very small small Small only in bacteria protists, fungi, plants, animals protists, fungi, plants, animals only in bacteria
14
What Are the Parts of Cells
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some things in common. All cells have cell membrane cytoplasm ribosomes nuclear material nuclear material cell membrane ribosomes cytoplasm
15
vacuole: sac-like structure that stores water, salts, foods, etc
chloroplast: capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy (food), (photosynthesis occurs here) nucleus: controls most cell processes, contains hereditary information (DNA) ribosomes: manufacture proteins mitochondria: convert chemical energy stored in food into ATP (cellular respiration occurs here) cell wall: outer layer in plant cells, support and protection cell membrane: regulates what enters and leaves the cell, protection and support cytoplasm: semi-liquid material that fills the cell Parts of Cells cytoplasm nucleus chloroplast vacuole Introduction to cell parts. Functions will be covered with the appropriate process. ribosomes mitochondria cell membrane cell wall

Characteristics of All Cells
A surrounding membrane Cytoplasm – cell contents in thick fluid Organelles – structures for cell function Control center with DNA

Prokaryotic Cells First cell type on earth
Cell type of Bacteria and Archaea (Similar in looks, but they live in extreme environments. Archaeans include inhabitants of some of the most extreme environments on the planet. Some live near rift vents in the deep sea at temperatures well over 100 degrees Centigrade. Others live in hot springs (such as the ones pictured above), or in extremely alkaline or acid waters. They have been found thriving inside the digestive tracts of cows, termites, and marine life where they produce methane. They live in the anoxic muds of marshes and at the bottom of the ocean, and even thrive in petroleum deposits deep underground.
