15. History ofcell
In 1665, British scientist Robert
Hooke examined a piece of cork and
found little structures in it which he
compared to cellulae.
He named these structures “cells”.
Later it was discovered that the cell
he had found in the cork were
actually outer walls of former plant
cell.
16. HISTORY OFCELL
In the late 1600’s, Dutch scientist
Anton van Leeuwenhoek examined
different subjects , using a refined
microscope than that of Hooke.
Leuwenhoek found moving protist
and sperm, which he collectively
termed “animalcules”
17. CellTheory: Definition
The Cell Theory, developed in the mid-1800’s as a result of
various discoveries about cells, it is one of the basic principles of
biology.
1. The cell is the basic unit of life;
2. All living organisms are composed of cell; and
3. New cells are created from pre-existing cell
18. First Postulate:Cellis thebasic unit of life
In order that an organism may be
considered living, it must have a cell.
One proof that an organism is alive
just by looking at its cell is the
movement of the organelles inside it.
19. First Postulate:Cellis thebasic unit of life
In the cork that Hooke examined, the
protoplasm of the cell had already dissipated,
indicating the cell’s death.
When Leeuwenhooek observed his teeth
scrapings, he found animalcules shooting and
spinning inside the cell.
20. Second Postulate:
ALLLIVINGORGANISMSARECOMPOSED OF CELL
In 1838, German botanist Mattthias Jacob
Schleiden established that the small
compartments in his plant specimens are
cells.
In 1839, a German zoologist named
Theodore Schwann after doing microscopic
studies of animal cells, instituted that all
animals are also composed of cells.
21. Third Postulate:
new cells arecreatedfrompre-existingcells
German scientist Rudolf
Virchow introduced the third
tenet of the cell theory: Omnis
cellula e cellula which means
“Cells come from pre-existing
cell”.
22. Development of Cell Theory
1590 – Zacharias Janssen
invented a primitive microscope
with the help of his father Hans.
1663-1665 – Robert Hooke
viewed a thin slice of cork
23. Development of Cell Theory
1665-1676 Marcello Malpighi
and Nehemiah Grew conducted
separated investigations on plant
cell. They determined the
presence of organelles within its
cells .
24. Development of Cell Theory
1670-1683 Anton van Leeuwenhoek upgraded
Janssen’s microscope and produced his lens. With
this invention, he discovered mobile organelles in
many subjects, which he called animalcules.
25. Development of Cell Theory
1831- Robert Brown made a series of discoveries
about cell organelles and ultimately discovered
the nucleus. This became a major breakthrough in
the history of biology.
26. Development of Cell Theory
1838 Matthias Schleiden microscopically examine
plants and recognized that plant parts come from
cells. In his writings in Contribution in
Phytogenesis, he proposed that the different
structures of a plant are all composed of cells.
27. Development of Cell Theory
1839 Theodore Schwann declared that animals
are likewise composed of cells. This put an end to
the debates – whether or not plants and animals
are different in structural origin and composition.
28. Development of Cell Theory
1840 Albrecht von Roelliker stated that sperm and
egg are composed of cells and that all humans are
configured from cells.
1849 Louis Pasteur was developing fermentation, a
process to kill bacteria, he proved that bacteria are
able to multiply and that bacterial cells come from
other bacterial cells.
29. Development of Cell Theory
1858 Rudolf Virchow declared, “Omnis cellula e
cellula” which he meant that cells come from pre-
existing cells. With this conclusion, the cell theory
was completed.
30. Question!
If life were to be found in other planets,
would you expect it to form cells? Why or
why not?
31. ASTROBIOLOGY
Our space exploration has been
continually searching for life in outer
space. On the space probes sent to
other planets (especially Mars), these
are equipped to look after life.
However, very high resolution are still
not possible on-site.
33. MAJORPARTSOF THE CELL
Plasma
Membrane
Outer covering that separates
the cell’s interior from its
surrounding environment.
Cytoplasm Consisting of a jelly-like cytosol
within the cell in which other
cellular components are found.
Nucleus Serves as the brain of the cell
and directs all of the cell’s
activity.
36. PlasmaMembrane:FLUIDMOSAIC MODEL
The plasma membrane is a mosaic of components—
primarily, phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins—that
move freely and fluidly in the plane of the membrane.
37. ComponentsofPlasmaMembrane
1. Phospholipids
It is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid
tails, and a phosphate-linked head group.
Biological membranes usually involve two
layers of phospholipids with their tails
pointing inward, an arrangement called
a phospholipid bilayer.
39. ComponentsofPlasmaMembrane
3. Proteins
Proteins help move large molecules or aid in cell recognition
Peripheral proteins are attached on the surface (inner or outer)
Integral proteins are embedded completely through the
membrane
40. CYTOPLASM
It is the entire region of a cell between plasma
membrane and nuclear envelope.
It is composed primarily of water, proteins and salts.
41. CYTOPLASM
In the cytoplasm, the organelles are
suspended in a gel-like solution called cytosol,
which is composed of both organic and
inorganic compounds.
Cytosol accounts for about 70% of cellular
content. It contains a rich supply of
macromolecules and smaller organic
molecules.
42. CYTOPLASM
The Cytoplasm also contains enzymes that
break down waste and enable metabolic
reactions.
It allows for cellular expansion and growth.
Together with cytoskeleton, cytoplasm
determines cell shape and accommodates
movement for some cell types.
43. Nucleus
Discovered by Robert Brown in 1833.
It is the most vital part of the cell and
dubbed as the “control center”
It directs all of the cell’s activities and
determines how a cell should appear
and function.
44. Nucleus
A double layer of nuclear membrane
encloses the nucleus to keep it distinct from
other cellular components.
Nucleolus serves as the site of ribosomes
synthesis.
Nucleus holds chromosomes which carry
tightly wrapped and coined DNA.
46. Thecellorganelles:endomembranesystem
This system is made up of organelles that are communally linked
by structure specific to each of them.
These organelles are:
1. Endoplasmic Reticulum 5. Lysosomes
2. Ribosomes 6. Peroxisomes
3. Vacuoles 7. Centrosomes
4. Golgi Apparatus
48. Endoplasmic reticulum
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a series of
interconnected membranous sacs and tubules that
collectively modifies proteins and synthesized lipids.
These two functions are performs in separate areas of
ER; the rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth
endoplasmic reticulum.
49. Endoplasmic reticulum
The hollow portion of ER tubules is
called lumen or cisternal space.
The membrane of the ER, which is a
phospholipid bilayer embedded
with proteins , is continuous with
nuclear envelope.
50. Rough endoplasmicreticulum
It has ribosomes on its surface.
It makes membrane proteins and proteins for
export out of cell.
Proteins are made by ribosomes on ER surface
They are then threaded into the interior of the
Rough ER to be modified and transported
51. smoothendoplasmicreticulum
It incorporates proteins into cisternae
and transports synthesized proteins
across the cytoplasm, thereby allowing
the synthesis of fatty acids and
phospholipids.
It is abundant in liver cell, where it
detoxifies hydrophobic chemicals. This
makes them water-soluble for excretion.
53. RIBOSOMES
Ribosomes are involved in providing a frame for
proteins synthesis; hence they are site of protein
production.
They are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells.
Developing muscle cells, skin and hair cells contain
large numbers of free ribosomes.
55. Vacuoles
A vacuole is a fluid –filled vesicles enclosed by a membrane.
It has a selectively membrane freely allowing water passage but
retaining smaller molecules within it and stores chemicals within
the cell.
Vacuoles ability to break down large molecules makes it
comparable with lysosomes in animal cells. Likewise, both organelles
thrive in acidic environment.
57. lysosomes
The lysosomes serve as digestion slots for cellular materials
that are due for expiration or are no longer useful.
It is the cell’s reprocessing area, where it hacks chemical
bonds of any foreign substance it comes contact with, in
order to recycle with the raw material
58. lysosomes
It is dubbed as the cell’s “suicide bags”
These organelles are capable for self-destruction In order to
save the rest of the other organelles from being poisoned.
This happens through autophagy, or the natural process of
organelle destruction.
59. LYSOSOMES
•Cells take in food by
phagocytosis
• Lysosomes digest the food
& get rid of wastes
•Example: macrophages
61. peroxisomeS
•It is a small, round organelles enclosed by single
membrane, somehow resembles that of a lysosomes.
•It is responsible for self-damage and mostly
disintegrate proteins, accommodate the breakdown of
fatty acids and detoxify many poisons that enter the
body.
•It also shields the cell from serious damage caused
reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules
63. GolgiAPPARATUS
Stacks of flattened sacs
Have a shipping side (cis face) & a
receiving side (trans face)
Receive proteins made by ER
Transport vesicles with modified
proteins pinch off the ends
CIS
TRANS
Transport
vesicle
64. GolgiAPPARATUS
•a stack of pancakes
Modify, sort, & package molecules from ER
for storage OR
transport out of cell
66. CENTROSOME
It comprised of two centrioles or cylindrical structures with
a central cavity surrounded by microtubules arranged side
by side.
These structure take part in the assembly of spindle fibers
at cell division and contribute to the successful outcome of
mitosis.
67. CENTROSOME
It is found in all eukaryotic cells, assist in arranging
microtubules (hollow tubes of proteins) to be utilized for
cell division.
They also enable the said microtubules to form part of the
cell’s microtubules to form part of the cell’s cytoskeleton.
In this way, cellular shape is maintain and the cell structure
is stabilized.
69. mitochondria
Mitochondria are the sites of
cellular respiration, the
metabolic process that uses
oxygen to drive the
generation of ATP by
extracting energy from
sugars, fats, and other fuels.
70. ADENOSINETRIPHOSPHATE
It is the major energy currency of the
cell that provides the energy for most of
the energy-consuming activities of the
cell.
Mechanism: When the third phosphate
group of ATP is removed by hydrolysis, a
substantial amount of free energy is
released.
71.
72. MITOCHONDRIA
The mitochondria are oval-shaped
organelles found in most eukaryotic cells.
They are considered to be the
‘powerhouses’ of the cell.
Mitochondria are most plentiful in cells
that require significant amounts of
energy to function, such as liver and
muscle cells.
73. MITOCHONDRIA
The mitochondria has two membranes that are similar in composition to
the cell membrane:
Outer membrane—is a selectively permeable membrane that surrounds
the mitochondria.
It is the site of attachment for the respiratory assembly of the electron
transport chain and ATP Synthase.
It has integral proteins and pores for transporting molecules just like the
cell membrane
74. MITOCHONDRIA
Inner membrane—folds inward (called cristae) to increase surfaces for
cellular metabolism.
It contains ribosomes and the DNA of the mitochondria. The inner
membrane creates two enclosed spaces within the mitochondria:
intermembrane space between the outer membrane and the inner
membrane; and
matrix that is enclosed within the inner membrane.
76. CHLOROPLAST
Chloroplasts, which are found in plants and algae, are the
sites of photosynthesis.
This process converts solar energy to chemical energy by
absorbing sunlight and using it to drive the synthesis of
organic compounds such as sugars from carbon dioxide
and water.
77. CHLOROPLAST
Chloroplasts are double membrane-bound
organelles and are the sites of photosynthesis.
The chloroplast has a system of three membranes:
the outer membrane, the inner membrane, and the
thylakoid system.
78. Structure of chloroplast
Outer membrane—This is a semi-porous
membrane and is permeable to small
molecules and ions which diffuse easily.
The outer membrane is not permeable to
larger proteins.
79. Structure of chloroplast
Intermembrane Space—This is usually a thin
intermembrane space about 10-20
nanometers and is present between the
outer and the inner membrane of the
chloroplast.
80. Structure of chloroplast
Inner membrane—The inner membrane of
the chloroplast forms a border to the
stroma.
It regulates passage of materials in and out
of the chloroplast. In addition to the
regulation activity, fatty acids, and are
synthesized in the inner chloroplast
membrane.
81. Structure of chloroplast
Stroma—This is an alkaline, aqueous fluid
that is protein-rich and is present within the
inner membrane of the chloroplast.
It is the space outside the thylakoid space.
The chloroplast DNA, chloroplast ribosomes,
thylakoid system, starch granules, and other
proteins are found floating around the
stroma.
82. Structure of chloroplast
Thylakoid System
The thylakoid system is suspended in the
stroma. It is a collection of membranous
sacks called thylakoids.
Thylakoids are small sacks that are
interconnected.
83. Structure of chloroplast
The membranes of these thylakoids are the
sites for the light reactions of the
photosynthesis to take place. The
chlorophyll is found in the thylakoids.
The thylakoids are arranged in stacks known
as grana. Each granum contains around 10-
20 thylakoids.
Plasma Membrane of cells that specialize in absorption are folded into fingerlike projection called microvilli,
Such cells are typically found lining the small intestine,
People with CELIAC DISEASE have an immune response to gluten, protein found in barley, wheat, and rye.
The immune response damages microvilli. And thus afflicted individuals cannot absorb nutrients
This lead to malnutrion, cramping and diarrhea.
Patients suffering from celiac must follow gluten-free diet
Inner and outer membrane of the nuclear membrane are phospholipid bilayer.
It is punctuated with pores (nuclear pore) that controls the passage of ions, molecules, and RNA
Protein movement is a vital function of endomembrane system as it essential in carrying out the process within a cell.
Function as depository of nutrients
Disintegrator of organism.
It ensures smooth flow of activities in the cell.

Manufacturer or shipping center of cell.
The word thylakoid is derived from the Greek word thylakos which means 'sack'.
Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume.Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allow more molecules and ions move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.
