    Study Notes

    Cell Theory Scientists

    • The Cell Theory was postulated by Rudolf Virchow, Matthias Schleiden, and Theodor Schwann.
    • These scientists collectively established the foundational concepts that all living things are composed of cells, and cells are the basic unit of life.

    Basic Unit of Life

    • The smallest and most basic unit of structure and function in organisms is a cell.

    Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

    • Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes possess both.
    • Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.

    Prokaryotic Cell Structure

    • The outer boundary of a prokaryotic cell is called the cell wall.

    Discovery of Cells

    • Robert Hooke was the first scientist to see a cell and identify it, observing cork cells through a microscope in the 17th century.

    Tenets of Cell Theory

    • The three tenets of Cell Theory are:
      • All living things are made of cells.
      • Cells are the basic unit of life.
      • All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
    • Any statement contrary to these points does not fit the Cell Theory.

    Common Structural Features

    • Common structural features of all cells typically include a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material.
    • Features not common to all cells might include specific organelles like chloroplasts or large central vacuoles, which are found primarily in plant cells.

    Scientist's Contribution

    • Robert Hooke is credited with the first record of seeing and identifying cells.
