1 KEY CONCEPT Cells are the Basic unit of life.

2 Many scientists contributed to the cell theory.
The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope. Many scientists contributed to the cell theory. Hooke – scientist who was the first to identify cells and name them Leeuwnhoek – scientist who observed live cells and observed them in greater detail Schleiden – scientist who concluded that plants are made of cells Schwann – scientist who concluded that all living things are made of cells (plants & animals Virchow – scientist who proposed that all cells come from other cells

3 The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.
Many scientists contributed to the cell theory. More was learned about cells as microscopes improved.

4 The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.
Many scientists contributed to the cell theory. More was learned about cells as microscopes improved. The cell theory is a unifying concept of biology.

5 Early studies led to the development of the cell theory.
The Cell theory has three principles. All organisms are made of cells.

6 Early studies led to the development of the cell theory.
The Cell theory has three principles. All organisms are made of cells. All existing cells are produced by other living cells.

7 Early studies led to the development of the cell theory.
The Cell theory has three principles. All organisms are made of cells. All existing cells are produced by other living cells. The cell is the most basic unit of life.

8 Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and most internal structures of eukaryotic cells.
All cells share certain characteristics.

9 All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and most internal structures of eukaryotic cells. All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic. Bacterium (colored SEM; magnification 8800x)

10 All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and most internal structures of eukaryotic cells. All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic. All cells are enclosed by a membrane. cell membrane Bacterium (colored SEM; magnification 8800x)

11 All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and most internal structures of eukaryotic cells. All cells share certain characteristics. Cells tend to be microscopic. All cells are enclosed by a membrane. All cells are filled with cytoplasm. cell membrane Bacterium (colored SEM; magnification 8800x) cytoplasm

12 There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.

13 There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. nucleus cell membrane

14 There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelles. nucleus organelles cell membrane

15 There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. nucleus organelles cell membrane

16 There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles. nucleus organelles cell membrane cytoplasm
