Presentation Transcript

  1. Cells: The Basic Units of Life

  2. Unicellular Organisms • Bacteria • Protozoa • Paramecium • Ameba The following video clip has been removed: Cells: The Basic Units of Life, Unicellular Organisms, United Learning (1994.

  3. Multicellular Organisms • Many cells join together to perform specialized tasks • Cells of the same type join together to form layers, called tissues The following video clip has been removed: Cells: The Basic Units of Life, Many-celled Organisms, United Learning (1994).

  4. Early Scientists’ Contributions • In 1655, Robert Hooke coins the term "cell" to describe chambers in cork • In 1674,Anton Von Leeuwenhoek perfects techniques for grinding a microscope lens to make the first microscope • In 1838,Mathais Schleiden concluded that plants are composed of cells • In 1839,Theodore Schwann concluded that animals are composed of cells

  5. Cell Theory • All living things are made of one or more cells • Cells are the basic units of structure and function of living things • All cells come from existing cells

  6. What are the characteristics of living things? All living things… • Grow • Repair and maintain themselves • Reproduce • Undergo change • Move • Respond to surroundings • Grow old and die.

  7. Unicellular Organism Plant Cell Animal Cell Cells: The Basic Units of Life

  8. Relative Size of a Eukaryotic Cell Remember: 1,000 nanometers (nm) = 1 micron (µm) 1,000 microns (µm) = 1 millimeter (mm)

  13. Which of the following is NOT a part of the cell theory as developed by Schleiden and Schwann? A. All living organisms are made up of cells. B. All new cells are created from existing cells. C.
