Study Notes
Contributors to Cell Theory
- Matthias Schleiden: Proposed that all plants are made of cells.
- Theodor Schwann: Suggested that all animals are composed of cells.
- Rudolf Virchow: Introduced the idea that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Function of Cells in the Human Body
- Cells serve as the building blocks of all tissues and organs.
- They carry out essential processes such as metabolism, energy production, and waste management.
- Specialized cells perform unique functions, such as muscle contractions and nerve signal transmission.
Definition of Cells
- Basic structural and functional units of life.
- Can exist as single-celled organisms or as part of multicellular organisms.
- Contain organelles that execute various functions crucial for survival.
Major Principles of Cell Theory
- There are three primary principles of cell theory:
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
- The cell is the basic unit of life in all living things.
- All cells arise from existing cells through division.
MELC for Learning Activity
- MELC (Most Essential Learning Competencies) outlines the core skills and knowledge students should achieve.
- Focuses on understanding the structure and function of cells, their role in living organisms, and the historical significance of cell theory.
