Study Notes

Cell Theory Overview

  • The Cell Theory is a fundamental concept in biology that explains the properties and functions of cells.
  • It provides a framework for understanding how all living organisms are composed of cells, emphasizing their importance in life.

Invention of the Microscope

  • The invention of the compound microscope allowed scientists to observe cells for the first time.
  • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a spectacle maker from the Netherlands, is credited with constructing the first compound microscope.

Discovery of Bacteria

  • Prior to their identification, bacteria were referred to as “animalcules.”

Contributions to Cell Theory

  • English scientist Robert Hooke coined the term "cell" while examining cork specimens.
  • Hooke named them "cells" because the cork cells resembled the small rooms (cells) inhabited by monks in a monastery.

Key Scientists in Cell Theory

  • Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants are made up of cells.
  • Theodor Schwann concluded that all animals are composed of cells.
  • Rudolf Virchow and Heinrich Remak stated that cells can only arise from pre-existing cells.

Proponents of Cell Theory

  • Key proponents include:
    • Matthias Schleiden (plants)
    • Theodor Schwann (animals)
    • Rudolf Virchow (cell division)

Postulates of Cell Theory

  • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
  • The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.
  • All cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division.

Task for Home

  • Create a timeline on Cell Theory, including:
    • Year of discovery
    • Name of the contributing scientist
    • Summary of their contribution
  • Grading criteria: accuracy, comprehensiveness, creativity.
