Definition of Cell

A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life

functions.

Examples of Cells

Amoeba Proteus

Plant Stem

Red Blood Cell

Nerve Cell

Bacteria

3.1 Early Discoveries

Mid 1600s •Robert Hooke observed and described cells in cork

Late 1600s •Antony van Leeuwenhoek observed sperm, microorganisms

1820s •Robert Brown observed and named nucleus in plant cells

Developing Cell Theory

Rudolf Virchow

Theodor

Schwann

Schlieden “Plant growth, he stated in 1837, came about through the production of new cells,

which, he speculated, were propagated from the nuclei of old cells,” i.e., all plants

are composed of cells.

Matthias Schleiden

CELL THEORY

Living things are made up of cells

The cell is the basic unit of structure

Cells come only from preexisting cells

Cell

Smallest unit of lifeCan survive on its

own or has potential to do so

Is highly organized for metabolism

Senses and responds to environment

Has potential to reproduce

Two types of cells :

Prokaryotic cells No true nucleus or organelles e.g : Eubacteria and cyanobacteria

Eukaryotic cells Nucleus and organelles that

surrounded by a membrane e.g: protozoa, algae, fungi, plants

and animals

Microscopes Create detailed images of something

that is otherwise too small to see

Light microscopes Simple or compound

Electron microscopes Transmission EM or Scanning EM

1 nanometer (nm) = 1/1,000,000,000 meter

Figure 4.8Page 59

Limitations of Light Microscopy

Wavelengths of light are 400-750 nm

If a structure is less than one-half of a wavelength long, it will not be visible

Light microscopes can resolve objects down to about 200 nm in size

Electron Microscopy

Uses streams of accelerated electrons rather than light

Electrons are focused by magnets rather than glass lenses

Can resolve structures down to 0.5 nm

PROKARYOTIC CELLS &

EUKARYOTIC CELLS

The prokaryotic cell is much simpler in structure, lacking a nucleus and the other membrane-enclosed organelles of the eukaryotic cell.

Meristems• Regions where cell divisions produce

plant growth• Consist of unspecialised, dividing

cells.• Apical meristems

– Lengthen stems and roots– Responsible for primary growth

• Lateral meristems– Increase width of stems– Responsible for secondary growth

ROOT APICAL MERISTEMApical meristem near all root tips gives rise to protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium

These give rise to the root’s primary tissue systems: epidermis, ground tissues, and

vascular tissues

Food, water, and other substances are transported and is continuous throughout the plant.

DERMAL TISSUE SYSTEM (OR EPIDERMIS)

Single layer of tightly packed cells covering and protecting the young parts of plant

E.g., the waxy cuticle that help plant retain water in leaves and stems
