Organization of Life • In the 1500s we knew organisms were made of organ systems, organs and tissues. But we didn’t know the basic unit of living things.
Robert Hooke Mid 1600s: observed cork (bark from cork tree) under simple microscope Called what he saw “cells”
Anton van Leeuwenhoek Late 1600s: improved the microscope and observed microorganisms.
Matthias Schleiden • In 1838: “all plants are made of cells”
Thomas Schwann • In 1839: “all living things are made of cells”
Rudolph Virchow • In 1855: “all new cells came from pre-existing cells.” • -Evidence against “spontaneous generation”
The Cell Theory Three Parts: • All organisms are made of cells. • The cell is the most basic unit of life. • All existing cells are produced by other living cells.
Technology • It was technology (the microscope) that allowed us to see cells. • Technology is vital to scientific advances. • As technology improves so does our understanding of life, the world, the universe…
Types of Cells • Eukaryotic • Animal, Plant, Protista, Fungi. • Have a nucleus • DNA is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. • More advanced and complex than prokaryote cells. • Have Organelles. • Prokaryotic • First living things on the planet. • Evolved over 3 billion years ago • Simple – No complex internal parts. • No nucleus. • DNA is circular, not in a membrane. • Known as Bacteria.
