Cells
Cell Theory
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things Cells come from pre-existing cells
Contributing Scientists
Anton Van Leeunhoek
Robert Hooke
All animals are made up of cells
Louis Pasteur
Determined plants were made of cells
Theodor Schwann
Discovered the nucleus
Mathias Schleiden
Used a 2 lens microscope to examine the bark of a tree. Discovered empty cork cells that led to the discovery of cell walls, and he named them cells
Robert Brown
Discovered one-celled organisms in the water by using a simple one lens microscope
Proved tiny organisms (microbes) caused disease
Rudolph Vicchow
Cells come from pre-existing cells
Cell Organelles
Cells are made up of smaller parts called organelles.
Organelles
Plasma Membrane or Cell Membrane
Holds in cytoplasm. Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
Fluid like environment between nucleus and the plasma membrane The goo inside Gives the cell shape Gives a place for the organelles to sit in so they don’t move around as much
Organelles
Nucleus
Contains genetic information in chromosomes and directs all cell activities.
Nucleolus
Inside the nucleus, synthesis of ribosome's
Organelles
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Interconnecting channels associated with storage. Associated with synthesis and transport of substances in the cell.
Organelles
Ribosome's
Site of protein synthesis
Organelles
Mitochondria
Produces ATP The power house of the cell
Organelles
Golgi Complex
Sacs that make cellular products
Organelles
Lysosomes
Contain digestive enzymes
Organelles
Vacuole
Storage. Can be specialized for waste management or it could be a contractile vacuole and control water balance.
Organelles
Centrioles:
Only found in animal cells Function during cell division
Organelles
Chloroplasts
Site for photosynthesis Contain Chlorophyll
Plant Vs Animal Cell
Plant cell
Has a cell wall made of cellulose Contains chloroplasts and chlorophyll Gave the name to cells because they appear like a structured bunch of cells together. Cell divides from inside out
Plant vs. Animal Cell
Animal Cells
Only has a cell membrane Has centrioles used to help cell division Cell divides from outside in
