Study Notes
General Functions of the Cell
- Homeostasis is the ability of organisms to maintain a constant internal state, vital for normal cell function.
- Cells require specific conditions for optimal operation, affected by temperature and energy levels.
- Energy in cells is derived from chemical bonds in food, necessary for activities including:
- Heart cells pumping blood
- Intestinal cells digesting food
- Skeletal cells enabling motion
- Nerve cells conducting information
- Cells must detect environmental changes to generate appropriate responses, ensuring a stable internal environment.
- Protection is provided through mechanisms such as:
- Tanned skin, which releases more pigment to protect against UV radiation.
- Immune cells that defend against pathogens entering the body.
History of the Development of Cell Theory
- Zacharias Janssen invented the first primitive microscope in the early 17th century.
- Robert Hooke examined cork cells under a microscope, introducing the concept of "cells."
- Francesco Redi challenged spontaneous generation with experiments.
- Anton van Leeuwenhoek utilized his microscope to observe microorganisms.
- Matthias Schleiden posited that all plants are made of cells.
- Theodor Schwann suggested that all animals comprise cells.
- Rudolf Virchow established the principle that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
The Three Principles of Cell Theory
- Principle 1: All living organisms consist of one or more cells, distinguishing unicellular from multicellular organisms based on complexity.
- Principle 2: The cell is the fundamental unit of life, being both the smallest structural and functional unit across all organisms.
- Principle 3: Cells arise from pre-existing cells, with hereditary material passed to daughter cells during division.
