CELLS
life!
– the basic unit of
 Every
living thing-from the tiniest
bacterium to the largest whale-are
made of one or more cells!
 Before
the seventeenth century, no
one knew that CELLS existed.
Most
cells are too small to
be seen with the unaided
eye.
Not
discovered until after
the invention of the
microscope in the early 17th
century.
A
Dutch drapery storeowner
Anton von Leewenhoek,
became the FIRST person to
OBSERVE and DESCRIBE
MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS and
LIVING CELLS.
 1665:
the English Scientist Robert
Hooke used a microscope to examine a
thin slice of cork and described it as
consisting of "a great many little
boxes". It was after his observation
that Hooke called what he saw "cells".
They looked like "little boxes" and
reminded him of the small rooms in
which monks lived. So he called them
"cells".
1824:
the French scientist
Henri Dutrochet, concluded
that plant and animal tissue
were always made up of cells
1831:
Robert Brown named the
nucleus
In
1838: German Botanist
Matthias Schleiden concluded
that all plants are made of cells
1839:
German Zoologist
Theodor Schwann reported that
animals are also made of cells
1845:
Felix Dujardin- studied
the living cell and noted it
contained a material called
protoplasm.
In
1855: German Physician
Rudolf Virchow induced that
ALL cells come from
preexisting cells.
The
COMBINED work of
Schleiden, Schwann, and
Virchow make up what is now
known as the modern CELL
THEORY.
1.All living things are composed
of one or more cells.
2.Cells are the basic units of
structure and function in an
organism.
3.Cells come ONLY from the
reproduction of existing cells.
1. EUKARYOTES = cell that contain a
nucleus and other membranebound organelles
~Ex: plants, fish, mammals, insects
and humans
2. PROKARYOTES = cell
that lacks a nucleus
and other membranebound organelles.
~Ex: unicellular
organisms such as
bacteria and their
relatives
 Not
all cells are alike.
 Cells
within the same
organism show enormous
diversity in size, shape,
and internal
organization.
Your
body contains at
least 200 different
cell types!
A
few types of cells are large
enough to be seen by the unaided
eye.
Female
egg is the largest cell
in the body, and can be seen
without the aid of a
microscope.
Most
cells are visible only with a
microscope.
 Most
cells are small for 2 reasons:
1. Cells are limited in size by the
RATIO between their outer surface
area and their volume.
 As
a cell’s size increases, its
volume increases much faster than
its surface area.
 (see
picture on the next slide!)
2. The cell’s nucleus (the brain) can
only control a certain amount of
living, active cytoplasm.
Variety
of
shapes.
The
shape
of the cell
depends
on its
function
 Ex:
Nerve cells that
carry information
from your toes to
your brain are long
and threadlike.
 Ex:
Blood cells are
shaped like round
disk that can squeeze
through tiny blood
vessels
Multicellular
organisms are made
up of many cells, each of which is
specialized to perform a distinct
function.
Digestion,
movement,
respiration, filtering, etc…
Individual
cells DO NOT carry out
ALL life functions, but rather
depend on each other
Tissue
= a group of cells functioning
together to perform and activity
Ex:
muscle and nerve tissues
Ex:
Plant tissues = stem and root
Organs
= groups of two or more tissues
that function together
Stomach,
leaf of a plant
Cooperation
among organs makes
life functions within an organism
efficient
 SUMMARY:
Cells  Tissues  Organs
