GENBIO - Cell Theory, Structure, and Function Flashcards
It is an idea supported by many tests that have been repeated over and over to prove the same result.
THEORY
A collection of ideas and conclusions from many different scientists over time that describes cells and how cells operate.
CELL THEORY
Spectacles where first made in Europe
13TH CENTURY
First compound (double lens) light microscopes were constructed
16TH CENTURY
His most notable publication was Micrographia (1665)
ROBERT HOOKE (1665)
He was able to coin the term ‘‘cell’
ROBERT HOOKE (1665)
Father of Cytology
ROBERT HOOKE (1665)
He discovered nucleus
ROBERT BROWN (1831)
Father of Microscopy
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
First person to observe protozoa and bacteria and calls them animalcules- little animals
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
He was the first to examine a drop of pond water under the microscope.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek observe what and call them animalcules or little animals?
protozoa and bacteria
Widespread importance of cells was realized.
1830’s
A German lawyer turned botanist, concluded that plants were made of cells and that plant embryo arose from a single cell.
Matthias Schleiden (1838)
He discovered plant cell
Matthias Schleiden (1838)
Discovered animal cell
Theodor Schwann (1839)
A German zoologist
Theodor Schwann (1839)
He concluded that all animals are made of cells.
Theodor Schwann (1839)
What tenets of cell theory states that regardless of how complex or simple an organism is, it is made up of cells?
All organisms are composed of
one or more cells.
It is the basic functional and
structural unit of life
CELL
It carries out the morpho-anatomy
and physiology of an organism
CELL
It is smallest unit that can carry out
all the processes necessary for life.
CELL
What is biogenesis?
Cells can arise only by division from
pre-existing cell.
It states that life arose spontaneously from inaminate matter.
ABIOGENESIS OR SPONTANEOUS GENERATION
He proposed that mice could arise
from rags and wheat kernels left
in an open container for 3
weeks
JAN BAPTISA VAN HELMONT
He refuted the notion that maggots
spontaneously generate on meat led
out in the open air.
Francisco Redi
It states that the cell is everything. The very structure that carries out all biochemical activities to maintain cellular life.
Single-celled or Unicellular organisms
It states that the whole organism, first begins as one cell. This first cell undergoes a series of division to increase the number of cells.
Multicellular organisms
