3.1 Cell Theory
MAIN IDEA
Cells are the basic “building blocks” of all living things.
3.1 Cell Theory
The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.• Many scientists and nonscientists, over hundreds of years
have contributed to our present day understanding of cell structure and function.
3.1 Cell Theory
The invention of the microscope in the 1600’s provided the opportunity to make detailed observations of cell structures and activities.
3.1 Cell Theory
Robert Hooke 1665
Observed holes in cork under microsocope.
Coined the term “cells”
Empty spaces were actually where living cells were before dying – he just saw cell walls
3.1 Cell Theory
Anton von Leeuwonhoek (just call me Tony)
* Dutch lens maker
* First to observe and describe
single-celled microorganisms
Ex. bacteria and protists
* Called them animalcules and
cavorting beasties
3.1 Cell Theory
Robert Brown
Robby Bobby said –
“That dark structure found inside many cells should be named the Nucleus”
3.1 Cell Theory
Theodore Schleiden
Ted said -
“All plants are made of cells”
3.1 Cell Theory
Matthias Schwann
Matt knew where it was at when he declared
“ALL animals (like swans) are made of cells”
3.1 Cell Theory
Rudolf Virchow
Rejected the concept of spontaneous generation, which held that organisms could arise from nonliving matter spontaneously.
Rudy’s Rule:
“All cells are made by other cells”
3.1 Cell Theory
Theory –
An explanation for a wide body of evidence gathered over time through observation and experimentation.
A theory ties lots of findings together and tries to provide a unifying explanation.
3.1 Cell Theory
The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.• Many scientists contributed to the cell theory.• More was learned about cells
as microscopes improved.• The cell theory is a unifying
concept of biology.

3.1 Cell Theory
There are thousands of different types of cells that make up living organisms.
3.1 Cell Theory
Two categories of cells based on their internal structure.
1. Prokaryotic Cells
DO NOT have a nucleus or organelles surrounded by membranes
2. Eukaryotic Cells
DO have a nucleus and membrane surrounded organelles
3.1 Cell Theory
Two major cell types: Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
nucleus
cell membrane
3.1 Cell Theory
Two major cell types: Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells
• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
• Eukaryotic cells have
membrane-bound organelles.

Fossil Evidence of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
PROKARYOTES
Photosynthetic marine bacteria
3.5 Billion Years Ago
EUKARYOTES
Evolved 1.5 billion yrs ago
First ones were unicellular
Later cells became multicellular
3.1 Cell Theory
Organisms are made of either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotes are organisms made of Prokaryotic cells
Only Bacteria are Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes are organisms made of Eukaryotic cells
Organisms include:•Protists•Fungi•Plants•Animals
3.1 Cell Theory
Cells come in many different shapes and carry out many different jobs. However they all share some features.
All cells do share some characteristics•Most cells are microscopic.

All cells share some characteristics•Most cells are microscopic•All cells are separated from their environment by a plasma membrane

3.1 Cell Theory
All cells share some characteristics•Most cells are microscopic•All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane•All cells are filled with gel like fluid called cytoplasm

3.1 Cell Theory
Endosymbiotic Theory• Developed in the 1970’s
• Endosymbiosis- a relationship in which one organism lives within the body of another and both benefit from relationship.
• Early mitochondria and chloroplasts were once simple prokaryotic cells that were taken up by larger prokaryotes around 1.5 bya. Some of the smaller prokaryotes may have survived inside the larger ones. Survival advantage-Both structures helped the larger cell get energy.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts have their own DNA & ribosomes, can copy themselves
