8. E ARLY C ONTRIBUTIONS Robert Hooke - First person to see cells, he was looking at cork and noted that he saw "a great many boxes. (1665) Anton van Leeuwenhoek - Observed living cells in pond water, which he called "animalcules" (1673)

9. Theodore Schwann - zoologist who observed tissues of animals had cells (1839) Mattias Schleiden - botanist, observed tissues of plants contained cells ( 1845) Rudolf Virchow - also reported that every living thing is made of up vital units, known as cells. He predicted that cells come from other cells. (1850 )

10. T HE C ELL T HEORY 1. Every living organism is made of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function. It is the smallest unit that can perform life functions. 3. All cells arise from pre-existing cells. *Why is the Cell Theory called a Theory and not a Fact?

11. T HREE F EATURES OF C ELLS 1. Plasma (Cell) Membrane - serves as a barrier, regulates what enters and leaves the cell * We go into much more detail in the next chapter on how this works*

12. 2. G ENETIC M ATERIAL 1. provides cellular "blueprint" that controls the functions of the cell 2. In the form of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) 3. DNA is universal for all cells, an all living things - evidence of common ancestry 4. Chromatin is the complex of proteins and DNA, it condenses into chromosomes before cell division *We will go into much greater detail in a later unit on GENETICS*
