  1. Cells and Cell Theory Mr. Stoll and Miss Else Biology Room 314

  2. Cell Theory • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things • ALL LIVING THINGS ARE MADE UP OF CELLS! • Two objects were invented in Holland ~1600’s: a telescope and a microscope

  3. Van Leeuwenhoek • Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe living cells • He studied bacteria from teeth and protozoa from pond water • He used the microscope to study MICROORGANISMS http://www.nhc.ed.ac.uk/images/collections/invertebrates/protozoa/LgParasitic.jpg

  4. Hooke • Hooke used the microscope to study plant stems, wood and cork • Unable to observe living cells, but named them “chamber cells” • First to pioneer the study of cells http://www.microscopyu.com/galleries/smz1500/images/corkcellslarge.jpg http://www.concord.org/~btinker/workbench_web/unitIV_revised/starch/images/leaf_cells_annot.jpg http://woodscience.oregonstate.edu/images/RProgs_dougfircross(60).jpg

  5. Other discoveries… • Robert Brown saw a dark structure near center of the cell, the nucleus • Matthias Schleiden stated all plants are made up of cells • Theodor Schwann stated animals are made up of cells too. http://137.222.110.150/calnet/cellbio/image/typical%20cell%20nucleus-electron%20micrograph.jpg http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/aencmed/targets/illus/ilt/T059292A.gif http://137.222.110.150/calnet/cellbio/image/typical%20cell%20nucleus-electron%20micrograph.jpg

  6. Cell Structures • The cells of all organisms have 3 basic structures: • Cell Membrane • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • There are a few that are different from plant to animal cells: • Plants have Cell Walls and Vaculoes, animals cells DO NOT

  8. Prokaryotic Cells • Lack membrane-bound nucleus • Genetic material is in circular loops called PLASMIDS • Very small • 3 shapes: • rod shaped • Spherical • Spiral • Binary Fission http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html

  9. Eukaryotic Cells • Membrane-bound nucleus • Genetic material is contained in the nucleus • Eukaryotes are typically multicellular • Animals • Plants • Fungi • Protists • Divide by sexual/asexual reproduction http://kentsimmons.uwinnipeg.ca/cm1504/Image125.gif
