Presentation Transcript

  1. Cells • The basic unit of living things

  2. Cellular Organelles Structures Functions Regulate what enters and exits the cell Where proteins are made and transported around the cell Converts food into energy Synthesizes or makes proteins Contains the DNA with the genetic blueprint to direct all the cell’s activities Packages and transports proteins Stores and digest cellular waste Stores water, food and waste Rigid layer surrounding and supporting a plant cell the givens a box-like shape Captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for a plant cell • Cell Membrane • Endoplasmic Reticulum • Mitochondria • Ribosomes • Nucleus • Golgi Apparatus or Body • Lysosome • Vacuole • Cell Wall • Chloroplast

  3. Cross Section of a Plant Cell Function of a plant cell is to produce it’s own food to carry the other functions of living things: grow, reproduce, move, synthesize

  4. Cross Section of an Animal Cell The function of an animal is to convert food into energy to carry out life processes: grow, reproduce, synthesize, move.

  5. Cell Theory and the Scientists Who Helped Shape It

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

  7. Scientists and the Cell Theory

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. Robert Hooke Contributions: - He observed pieces of corkfrom 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

  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. 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

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

  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.
