Chapter 7 Cells
skin cells (flat shape) red blood cells (disk)
Cell Intro • Cell-smallest unit that can carry on all the processes of life • All living things have cells • Organelle-cell structures that performs specific functions for the cell • “little organs” *celltissueorgansystem
CELL SCIENTISTS 1. Robert Hooke • British, mid-1600’s • Compound light microscope • Saw cells in cork & called them “cells”
2. Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Dutch, mid-1600’s, • simple light microscope, • saw life in pond water
3. The Cell Theory a. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. b. Cell is the basic unit of organization of organisms. c. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
All cells have 2 things Cell Membrane DNA
4. Two basic cell types (figure 7.4) a. Prokaryotes 1. organelles float around cell; unorganized * No nucleus 2. ex. bacteria
Prokaryotic Cells Anthrax Types of Shapes
b. Eukaryotes 1. have membranes around organelles; organized * Have a nucleus and genetic material is separate from rest of cell 2. ex. plants, animals, fungi 3. Usually larger than prok.
Eukaryotic Cells Muscle Cells Nucleus Kidney Cell
Viruses • Reproduce in other living things • DNA or RNA surrounded by protein coat Foot & Mouth Disease Virus
