  1. Scientists and the Cell Theory

  2. Cell Theory and the Scientists Who Helped Shape It

  3. The Cell • The smallest unit that can perform all life processes

  4. Robert Hooke • Born: July 18, 1635 • Died: March 3, 1703 • Wrote and published “Micrographia” • Known as the “English Father of Microscopy” http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/PictDisplay/Hooke.html

  5. Robert Hooke Contributions: - He observed pieces of cork from the bark of a cork tree under the microscope. - His observations led him to coin the word “cell.” - “Cell”- means little rooms in Latin - He compared the small boxes to the small rooms that monks lived in. http://www.learner.org/channel/courses/essential/life/session1/closer1.html

  6. Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Born: October 24, 1632 • Died: August 30, 1723 • He is known as the “Father of Microscopy.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_van_Leeuwenhoek

  7. Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Discoveries: - 1673: He looked at pond scum under the microscope and discovered small organisms he called animalcules or little animals (Protists) - 1676: discovered bacteria http://www.kent.k12.wa.us/staff/TimLynch/sci_class/chap09/lesson_protista/Protista_Lesson.html#Algae

  8. Robert Brown • Born: December 21, 1773 • Died: June 10, 1858 • Studied orchids • 1827 - Noticed pollen granules jiggle around - Brownian motion • 1833 - Discovered the nucleus

  9. Joseph Jackson Lister 1786 - 1869 http://www1.sciencemuseum.org.uk/hommedia.ashx?id=8518&size=Large • 1826 - Designed more advanced microscope that had 2 lenses • Helped scientists further study the cell.

  10. Louis Pasteur 1822 - 1895 • Disproved Theory of Spontaneous Generation

  11. Pasteur disproves spontaneous generation

  12. Matthias Schleiden • Born: April 5, 1804 • Died: June 23, 1881 • German botanist • Discovered that all plants were made of cells • Contributed to the creation of the cell theory http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9066147/Mathias-Jacob-Schleiden

  13. Theodor Schwann • Born: December 7, 1810 • Died: January 11, 1882 • German zoologist • Concluded that all animals are made of cells. • Contributed to the creation of the cell theory http://www.nndb.com/people/357/000096069/

  14. Robert Remack 1815 - 1865 • 1845 - Studied blood cells and noticed that 1 cell divides into 2. • Also looked at other cells and noticed cell division • Shared his work with Virchow • Virchow claimed his work for his own

  15. Rudolph Virchow • Born: October 13, 1821 • Died: September 5, 1902 • German pathologist • He is known as the “Father of Pathology.” • Discovered that all living cells come only from other living cells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rudolf_Virchow.jpg

  16. The Cell Theory • All living things are made of cells. • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. • Living cells come only from other living cells.

  17. The Cell Theory • Major Contributors: • Matthias Schleiden • Theodor Schwann • Rudolph Virchow

  18. What have we learned about science ? • Scientists build on the work of others. • New technology helps advance our knowledge of the natural world.
