Study Notes
Cell Structure and Functions
- Cordova Smart Class Software allows exploration of cell structures and functions interactively through virtual labs.
- Living things like plants, insects, and humans perform essential functions such as respiration, digestion, excretion, reproduction, movement, and growth.
- Non-living things do not perform all these functions, even if they may exhibit some capabilities (like movement of vehicles).
- All organisms, regardless of their differences, are composed of microscopic units called cells.
Discovery and History of the Cell
- The cell was discovered by English scientist Robert Hooke in 1665.
- Hooke used a self-designed microscope to observe slices of cork, marking the foundation for cell biology.
