What made Mathias Schleiden (German botanist)?
in 1838 concluded that cells and substances produced by cells form the basic structure of plants, and that plant growth occurs by adding new cells.
What made Theodor Schwann (German)?
drew similar conclusions about animal cells.
Who provided a unifying theory of cells as fundamental units of life?
Schleiden and Schwann’s
Who completed the cell theory?
Rudolf Virchow (German physician)
mention 3 Cell theory principles
1) Every organism is made up of one or more cells
2) The smallest organisms are single cells, and cells are the functional units of multicellular organisms 3) All cells arise from preexisting cells
What are the Basic Attributes of Cells?
All living things are composed of cells.
Cell functions mention at least 4
- Obtaining energy and nutrients
- Synthesizing biological molecules
- Eliminating wastes
- Interacting with other cells
- Reproducing
Why the cells its small?
because of the need for cell to exchange nutrients and wastes with their external environment through the plasma membrane.
Many nutrients and wastes move into, though, and out of the cell by ___________.
diffusion
what is diffusion?
The process by which molecules dissolved in fluids disperse from regions where their concentration to higher to regions where concentration is lower.
Phospholipid bilayer is?
helps isolate the cell from its surrounding, allowing the cell to maintain essential differences in concentrations of materials inside and outside.
what is cytoplasm?
Consists of all the fluid and structure that lie inside the plasma membrane but outside of the nucleus.
Most of the cell’s metabolic activities occur in the_____________
cytoplasm
Cells must synthesize a variety of proteins like the ones in the:
cytoskeleton
plasma membrane
2 Basic Types of Cells
Prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells
the función of the Cell wall is?
Protects and supports the cell
the función of the Cilia is?
Move the cell through fluid or move fluid past the cell surface
the función of the flagella is?
Move the cell through fluid
the función of the Plasma membrane is?
Isolates the cell contents from the environment, regulates movement of materials into and out of the cell, allows communication with other cells
the function of Genetic material is….
Encodes the information needed to construct the cell and to control cellular activity
Plant cell walls are composed primarily of__________.
cellulose.
