Cell Topic
Robert Hooke
• Coined
the term
“cell”
Matthias Schleiden
• All plants are
made of cells
Theodor Schwann
• All animals are
made of cells
Rudolf Virchow
• Cells can only
arise from
pre-existing
cells
Cell Theory
1. The cell is the basic unit of
structure.
2. The cell is the basic unit of
function.
3. All cells arise from pre-existing
cells.
Organelles
• specialized structures of cell that
allow it to carry out essential life
processes such as nutrition,
excretion, respiration, response,
movement, and reproduction.
Cell types
Prokaryotic—no nucleus,
circular DNA, ribosome
Eukaryotic—larger, nucleus,
linear chromosomes, membranous
organelles
Prokaryotic Cells
• Have no membrane-
bound organelles
• Include true bacteria
• On earth 3.8 million years
• Found nearly everywhere
• Spores in each breath;
intestines
• Naturally in soil, air, hot
springs
nucleoid (DNA)
ribosomes
food granule
prokaryotic
flagellum
plasma membrane
cytoplasm cell wall
Eukaryotic Cells
• Have numerous internal
structures
• Various types & forms
• Plants, animals, fungi, protist
• Multicellular organisms

Eukaryotic cell structure
• Nucleus is the control center of the
cell
1. Membrane bound (nuclear
envelope)
2. Contains nucleoli; synthesizes
ribosomal RNA
3. DNA in chromosomes (DNA and
proteins)
