INTRODUCTION TO CELLS
Life is cellular
Robert Hooke
naturalist, philosopher, inventor, architect....
(July 18, 1635 - March 3, 1703)
In 1665 he is the first
person to use the term
“cells” after looking at
cork under a simple
microscope.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
1632-1723
In 1673 he perfects
the simple
microscope and is
the first to observe
living cells and
microorganisms.

Cell Theory
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
The Levels of Organization
Multicellular organisms are arranged from simple to
complex according to their level of cellular grouping.

Cell differentiation
Cells in
organisms are
specialized to
perform different
tasks.
Cells are basic
units of structure
and function of
living things.
Cell Types
PROKARYOTE
EUKARYOTE
 No nucleus
 No membrane-bound
organelles
 Small ribosomes
 Most cells are 1 -10
μm in size
 Evolved 3.5 billion
years ago
 Found only in
Archaebacteria and
Eubacteria Kingdoms
 Has nucleus
 Many organelles
 Larger ribosomes
 Cells can be between
2 - 1,000 μm in size
 Evolved 1.5 billion
years ago
 Includes Protista,
Fungi, Plantae and
Animalia Kingdoms
Cell Type: Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes, which includes all bacteria,
are the simplest cellular organisms. They
have genetic material but no nucleus.

Shapes of bacteria
Cell Types: Eukaryotes
Eukaryotic cells
contain a membranebound nucleus and
numerous membrane
-enclosed organelles
(e.g., mitochondria,
lysosomes, Golgi
apparatus) not found
in prokaryotes.
