Robert Hooke 1665
Discovered/ named the cells after the cells in monasteries
Anton Leeunwenhoek 1674
first record of viewing microbes
Matthias Schleiden 1838
proposed that all plants are composed of cells
Theodor Schwann
proposed that all animals are composed of cells
Rudoff Virchow 1855
showed that cells are produced via the division of existing cells
History of cell theory
all living things are composed of cells
cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
new cells are made from existing cells
Types of cells
does the cel contain a nucleus
Eukaryotic
these cells contain a nucleus and often other organelles, they are more complex in nature and can allow for multicellular organisms
Eukaryotic Domains
protists
fungi
plants
animals
prokaryotic
no nucleus or organelles simple and only allow multicellular organisms
prokaryotic domains
bacteria
achera
nucleus
controls most of the cell’s processes and contains the hereditary info of the DNA
Nucleolus
where the assembly of ribosomes begin
ribosomes
makes proteins
rough endoplasmic reticulum
new ribosomes move into it where they are chemically modified
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks and synthesize lipids
Golgi apparatus
attaches carbohydrates and lipids to proteins
lysosomes
small organelles with enzymes
vacuoles
where water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates in cells
mitochondria
organelles that release energy from stored food molecules
chloroplasts
energy from the sunlight to make energy rich food molecules in photosynthesis
Cytoskeleton
network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain it’s shape
Cell membrane
a thin flexible barrier around a cell regulates what enters/leaves the cell
Cell Wall
strong layer around all membrane in plants algae and bacteria.
