Presentation Transcript

  1. Early Scientists’ Contributions

  2. Anton van Leeuwenhoek • First compound light microscope

  3. Robert Hooke • Coined the term “cell”

  4. Matthias Schlieden • All plants are made of cells

  5. Theodor Schwann • All animals are made of cells

  6. Rudolf Virchow • Cells can only arise from pre-existing cells

  7. Cell Theory • The cell is the basic unit of structure. • The cell is the basic unit of function. • All cells arise from pre-existing cells.

  8. Types of Cells • Organisms (living things) can be either multicellular or unicellular. Multicellular means made of many cells. Unicellular means made of one cell. • Cells may be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.

  9. Questions... • Who used the first microscope? • Who said that plants were made of cells • Who coined the term “cell”? • Who said that all animals were made of cells? • Who said that cells must come from existing cells?

  10. State the cell theory... • The cell is the basic unit of structure. • The cell is the basic unit of function. • All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
