A View of the Cell
Life is Cellular
Discovering the Cell

Robert Hooke
– used a microscope
to study cork
– coined the
term “cell”

Anton van Leeuwenhoek
– first person to discovered life in
water using a microscope
I. Introduction to the Cell
A. Cell Theory
–
All organisms are made up
of one or more cells.
–
Cells are the basic unit of
structure & function in organisms.
–
All cells come from preexisting cells.
B. Cells differ in size, shape, & organization.
–
Cell Size
 Small cells function more efficiently
than large cells. Smaller is BETTER!
 Large cells cannot function efficiently
in the transport of materials & waste
into and out of the cell.
B. Cells differ in size, shape, & organization.
–
Cell Shape
 The shape of cell depends on its function.
C. Internal Organization
–
Most cells contain a variety of membrane
bound ORGANELLES - cell parts that
perform specific functions for the cell
–
A Large Organelle near the center of the
cell is the NUCLEUS. It contains the cell’s
genetic information and controls the
activities of the cell.
–
Whether a cell has or does not have a
NUCLEUS is important for classifying
cells.
II. Prokaryotes Vs. Eukaryotes

EUKARYOTES
– ORGANISMS WHOSE CELL OR CELLS
CONTAIN A NUCLEUS AND OTHER
MEMBRANE-BOUND ORGANELLES.
– MORE COMPLEX
– CAN BE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED
– UNICELLULAR OR MULTICELLULAR
– PLANTS, ANIMALS, FUNGI, PROTISTS
Prokaryotes Vs. Eukaryotes

PROKARYOTES
– ORGANISMS WHOSE CELLS DO NOT
HAVE A NUCLEUS AND OTHER
MEMBRANE-BOUND ORGANELLES.
– SMALLER AND SIMPLER
– UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS SUCH AS
BACTERIA AND BLUE-GREEN ALGAE

The difference between Prokaryotes and
Eukaryotes is such an important distinction
that they are placed in separate Kingdoms.

WRAP-UP QUESTIONS





What is the smallest most basic unit of life?
Where is DNA in eukaryotes?
…prokaryotes?
Why would you need a microscope to see a
prokaryotic organism?
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory?
Where do viruses fit in the cell theory?
Viruses
Virology - study of viruses
Viral Characteristics
 Non
 Not
living
made up of cells
 Cannot grow or replicate on their own
 Must be reproduced in living cells
