THINK ABOUT IT

What’s the smallest part of any living thing that still counts as being “alive?”

Can we just keep dividing living things into smaller and smaller parts, or is there a point at which what’s left is no longer alive?

As you will see, there is such a limit. The smallest living unit of any organism is the cell.


The Discovery of the Cell

What is the cell theory?

The cell theory states:

- All living things are made up of cells.

- Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

- New cells are produced from existing cells.


Early Microscopes and the Cell Theory

• 1665 – Robert Hooke – Compound Microscope• First to identify cells

• Same time period – Anton van Leeuwenhoek• First to observe living microorganisms

• 1838 – Matthias Schleiden (German botanist)• Plants are made of cells

• 1839 – Theodor Schwann (German biologist)• All animals are made of cells

• 1855 – Rudolf Virchow (German physician)• New cells only from division of existing cells

(Lorenz Oken 50 years earlier)

Cell Theory

So once again, What is the cell theory?

The cell theory states:• All living things are made up of cells.• Cells are the basic units of structure and

function in living things.• New cells are produced from existing cells.

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells different?

Prokaryotic cells do not separate their genetic material within a nucleus.

In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus separates the genetic material from the rest of the cell.



• Cells are amazingly diverse.• Size varies (typically 5-50 micrometers)

• 0.2 microns – 1000 microns• All Cells have DNA• All Cells have a cell membrane (thin flexible barrier)• Cells may or may not have a nucleus (nuclei)

• Contains genetic material, has membrane• Whether or not they have a nucleus determines whether

they are prokaryotes or eukaryotes.


In many cells the structure that controls the cell is the….

Answer Now



Eukaryotes are cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei.

Prokaryotes are cells that do not enclose DNA in nuclei.


Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.

Despite their simplicity, prokaryotes grow, reproduce, and respond to the environment, and some can even move by gliding along surfaces or swimming through liquids.

The organisms we call bacteria are prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes


Eukaryotes

Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex.

Most eukaryotic cells contain dozens of structures and internal membranes. Many eukaryotes are highly specialized.

There are many types of eukaryotes: plants, animals, fungi, and organisms commonly called “protists.”
