Who saw them first?


Robert Hooke in 1665, was the first person to use the word "cell" to identify microscopic structures when he was describing cork.

Who built the first microscope?


Anton Van Leeuwenhoek - Father of Microbiology made over 500 "microscopes," of which fewer than ten have survived to the present day. First to record microscopic observations of muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa and blood flow in capillaries

Background
Matthias Schleiden ( 1830s) All plants are composed of cells. Theodor Schwann (1831) All animals are made of cells.

Rudolf Virchow (1858) - Found that every cell comes from a pre-existing cell.

Cell Theory
All organism are made up of cells A cell is the structural and functional unit of organs and ultimately, organisms. Cells are capable of self reproduction and cells come only from pre-existing cells

What is a Cell
A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.

Two Types of Cells

Prokaryotic No nucleus

Eukaryotic Nucleus

Examples of Prokaryotic Cells


Salmonella Sprillum volutans

Meningitis

E. Coli

Sprillum or spiral shape


Bacillus or rod shape Coccus or circle shape

Prokaryotic/Bacterial Cell
Do not have structures surrounded by membranes Few internal structures One-celled organisms, Bacteria

Parts of the Prokaryotic Cell


Flagellum move the bacterium in a fluid medium Cytoplasm a semifluid medium that make up the majority of the cell Ribosomes synthesis of proteins Nucleiod where the DNA is located Capsule gelationous sheath called a slime layer that surrounds the cell wall Cell Well gives the cell its shape Plasma Membrane regulates the movement of molecules into and out of the cytoplasm. Plasmid external single DNA molecule

Flagellum and Pili


Very thin appendages that rotate like propellers to move the cell Pili allows the bacteria to stick to other bacteria and surfaces

Cytoplasm
This gel matrix is also known as protoplasm, and consists of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, gases and cell structures. It is the location of growth, metabolism, and replication.

Ribosomes
synthesis of proteins

Nucleiod
where the DNA is located

Capsule
a slime layer that surrounds the cell wall

Cell Wall
gives the cell its shape

Plasma Membrane
Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell.
