The document outlines key concepts of cell theory, including the unified cell theory which states that all organisms are composed of cells. It discusses the contributions of scientists like Robert Hooke and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek to the study of cells, as well as the various parts and functions of cells, including the nucleus, plasma membrane, and organelles. Additionally, it distinguishes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and mentions the cell cycle and the role of viruses.

Cell Theory – is a series of statements about the origin of the cell and its role among organisms.
Unified cell theory - states that all organisms are composed of cells.
Cell – smallest unit of an organism that can be considered living.
- Basic factional unit of life.
Robert Hooke - author of the book Micrographia.
Micrographia – is a book contains descriptions and drawings of the organisms Hooke’s investigated under the then-
recently invented microscope.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek – Dutch scientist, found other hidden organisms (animalcules) under a microscope.
- He was the master of microscope inventors and perfected the design of the one of the most important
pieces of laboratory.
- The scientist who studied and observed the spermatozoa.
Animalcules – hidden organisms found by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
Theodore Schwann and Matthias Schleiden – German scientists studied animal and plant cells.
Rudolf Virchow – German biologist, pathologist, physician, and writer.

Parts of cell
 Cell wall
 Ribosomes  Nucleolus
 Cytoplasm  Endoplasmic reticulum
 Cell membrane  Centrosomes
 Microtubules  Golgi body
 Mitochondrion  Microfilaments
 Lysosome  Vacuole
 Nucleus
Nucleus – represents the cell’s headquarters.
Nuclear envelope – separates the nucleus from the rest of the cells.
Plasma Membrane – a special membrane envelope the cells

Function of Plasma Membrane Receptors


 Gatekeepers – some receptors allow certain molecules through and regulate others.
 Markers – there receptors act as same badges, informing the immune system that they are part of
the organism
 Communicators – some receptors help the cell communicate with other cells and the environment.
 Fasteners – some receptors help bind the cell to its neighbors.

Cytoskeleton – forms the scaffolding within the cytoplasm of the human cell.
Endocytosis – area outside the cell.
Endoplasmatic Reticulum (ER) – process molecules within the cell and helps transport them to their final destination.

Two Types of Endoplasmatic Reticulum (ER)


 Rough ER
 Smooth ER

Golgi Apparatus – post office of the cell where items go through packaging and labeling.
Mitochondria – they help turn energy from food into energy that the cell can use.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Ribosomes – read the RNA and translate it into proteins by sticking together amino acids in the order the RNA defines.
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Type of Cells
 Prokaryotic cells – cells without a nucleus
 Eukaryotic cells – cells that contain nuclie
Prokaryotes - organism with prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotes – organism with eukaryotic cells.
Viruses – tiny particles that may cause disease.
Cell cycle – series of events where divided and replicate
