BIOCHEM Lesson 2

History of Cell Discovery

QuestionAnswer
- First to see cells. - Designed a microscope that he was able to view cork cells with - Named “cells” because they look like monk quarters. Robert Hooke (1665)
- First to see living cells. - able to view red blood cells and bacteria - He called them “animalcules”. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (1676)
discovered the nucleus of the cell Robert Brown (1831)
- concluded that all animals are made of cells - All living organisms are made of cells. Rudolf Virchow
- concluded that all plants are made of cells Matthias Schleiden (1838)
- He stated that “every cell originates from another cell”. - Can relate cells to mitosis and meiosis (cell division) Theodor Schwann (1839)
“Cell is the basic unit of life” Rudolf Virchow
Three Concepts of Cell Theory 1. All living things are made of one or more cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of life 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells
the smallest unit that can carry on the processes of life cell
consists of only one cell Unicellular / Prokaryotes
consists of more than one cell Multicellular / Eukaryotes
- lacks internal structures surrounded by membranes - Has a cell membrane and a cell wall but has no nucleus Prokaryotes
- contains internal membrane bound structures. - Has a nucleus and a cell membrane - Usually multicellular organisms Eukaryotic
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended Cytoplasm
the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell Cell membrane
- contains the genetic information (DNA) - produces the ribosomes - control center of the cell Nucleus
produces cellular energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration Mitochondria
site of protein synthesis which links amino acids together to form proteins Ribosomes
Works on proteins; Helps complete the proteins; Makes membranes; transport system within the cell Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosomes attached works on proteins Rough ER
ER that has no ribosomes; makes membranes - contains enzymes that function in lipid synthesis Smooth ER
collects , packages, and modified cell materials to be used in other parts of the cell or transported out of the cell Golgi Apparatus
An organelle containing digestive enzymes; digest food to make energy Lysosomes
storage of water in plant cells Vacuole
used during cell division to move and separate chromosome Centrioles
small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell Vesicles
sugar + oxygen ATP
organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy; energy + sugar from sunlight Chloroplast
A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell and provides support to the cell cell wall
These are made up of a few lenses for magnification, each lens with its own magnification powers and focusing strength Microscopes
