Summary
This document provides an overview of cell theory and cell structures and functions, covering unicellular and multicellular organisms, the discovery of cells by Hooke and Leeuwenhoek, and the principles of cell theory. Includes different cell types, organelles (like the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts), and their roles.

Lesson 1: Cell Theory and Cell Structures & Functions Who Discovered Cells? Learning Objectives Identify cells as the smallest and basic unit of all living things. Explain and state the principles of cell theory Enumerate the parts and functions of cells. CELL All living thing are composed of cells. A c e l l i s a m e m b r a n e – covered structured that contains all of the materials necessary for life. Building blocks of life. “Cella” small room. Uni-Cellular Unicellular organisms are composed of a single cell. Multi-Cellular Having made up of, or involving more than one and usually many cells especially of living matter. Discovery of the Cell Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke Anton van Leeuwenhoek saw the first living cells in 1673. Robert Hooke Robert Hooke Hooke’s discovery led to the understanding of cells as the smallest units of life—the foundation of cell theory. Anton van Leeuwenhoek Anton van Leeuwenhoek used single-lens microscopes, which he made, to make the first observations of bacteria and protozoa. Cell Theory Scientists later discovered a lot more about cells using more powerful microscopes. CELL THEORY ❖ All organisms are made up of one or more cells. ❖ Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things. ❖ All cells come from pre- existing cells. CELL THEORY ❖ Matthias Schleiden worked with plants. ❖ Theodor Schwann worked with animals. ❖ Rudolf Virchow saw cell dividing under the microscope.

A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. “mikros” meaning small “skopein” meaning to look at. Microscop Types of Cells Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell ✔ Cell that do have a nucleus ✔ Do have membrane bound organelles ✔ Linear and double stranded DNA ✔ All other organisms. Nucleus ✔ It's in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes, which encode the genetic material. ✔ The nucleus is a highly specialized organelle that serves as the information processing and administrative center of the cell. ✔ It contains DNA arranged in chromosomes. Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) ✔ DNA is the information molecule. ✔ It stores instructions for making other large molecules, called proteins. ✔ These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes. ✔ These chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes.

A major role of the cell wall is to form a framework for the cell to prevent over expansion. NUCLEU SControl center of the cell Where DNA is found The membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes. NUCLEOLU S Stores materials to make ribosomes Found inside the nucleus The ribosome factory RIBOSOME S Smallest but most abundant organelle Site of protein synthesis Found in cytoplasm or attached to ER ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) Found near nucleus The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function MITOCHONDRIA Powerhouse of the cell Energy for the cell is made here from nutrients The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. CHLOROPLAST Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. Found only in plant cells Food producers of the cell. GOLGI APPARATUS It packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. Known as the packing and dispatching unit of a cell. LYSOSOMES Get rid of wastes Protect the cell from invaders Breakdown/digestion of macromolecules Cell membrane repairs Found in animal cell VACUOLE A fluid-filled sac for the storage of materials needed by the cell. A vacuole is a structure found in animal, plant, bacteria, protist, and fungi cells. Large vacuole found in plants CYTOSKELETO N Protein fibers that gives the cell its shape, offers support, and facilitates movement a complex, dynamic network of interlinking protein filaments present in the cytoplasm of all cells, excluding bacteria and archaea. CYTOSKELETO N Two main components: 1. Actin filaments/Microfilaments 1. Tubulins/Microtubules CENTROSOME SDuring cell division, when chromosomes are lined up and then pulled toward opposite ends of the cell, it is the centrosomes that are responsible. Its main function is to organize the microtubules and provide a structure to the cell. AMYLOPLASTS Amyloplasts are organelles in plant cells where starch is made and stored. Found in plant cells.
