    Study Notes

    Cell Structure and Function

    • The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism is a cell.

    Microscope Development

    • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is credited with developing the microscope lens to see greater magnification.

    Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells

    • The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus containing DNA in eukaryotic cells.

    Cell Discovery

    • Robert Hooke is credited with discovering cells and calling them "cellulae" (Latin for "small rooms").
    • Matthias Schleiden concluded that plants are composed of cells.
    • Theodor Schwann concluded that animals are composed of cells.

    Cellular Observations

    • Anton van Leeuwenhoek observed and described single-celled animals like protozoa and bacteria.
    • Robert Hooke observed and described cell walls in cork tissue under a microscope.

    Cellular Characteristics

    • Cells are the basic unit of matter and are involved in homeostasis.
    • All cells come from the division of previous existing cells, as proposed by Rudolph Virchow.
    • All organisms are composed of cells.

    Cell Components

    • Chloroplasts are organelles found in cells, not a gel-like substance.

    Note: I corrected the mistake about chloroplasts being a gel-like substance.
