    The document summarizes key information about cells: 1) Cells are the basic unit of all living things and carry out functions to sustain life. 2) Early microscopists like Hooke and Van Leeuwenhoek first observed cells in plants and living organisms in the 1600s. 3) In the 1800s, scientists developed the cell theory stating that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and new cells are produced from existing cells.

    CELL

    The very beginning of life


    What is Cell?
    • Cells are basic unit of all living things
    • Cells make up living things and carry out activities that
    keep a living thing alive

    Plant cell
    Animal cell
    Discovery Of The Cell

    • In 1665, Robert Hooke used an


    early compound microscope to
    look at a nonliving thin slice of
    cork, a plant material; termed
    tem a cell
    Robert Hooke Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
    • In 1674, Anton Van
    Leeuwenhoek was first
    observer of living cell.
    • In 1883, Robert Brown
    discovered nucleus
    Cell Theory
    The cell theory put forth by two scientist M.J. Schleiden, and
    Theodor Schwann
     All living beings are made up of cells.
     Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of all
    living beings.
     Every single cell arise from their pre-existing cells by
    method of cell division
    Number Of Cells

    • Unicellular organisms are made up of single cell, e.g.


    Amoeba, bacteria, chlamydomonas
    • Multicellular organisms are made up of millions of cells e.g.
    animals, plant

    Amoeba(Unicellular organism) Elephant( Multicellular organism)


    Shape Of Cells

    The shape of cell varies in different organisms. the shape of plant cell is different from
    that of an animal cell. They may be spherical, oval, elliptical, spindle shaped, polygonal,
    columnar etc.

    Oval (Chlamydomonas sp.)


    Irregular (Amoeba, WBCs) Paramoecium sp
    Oblong (Paramoecium sp.)
    Elongated (myocytes, sperms etc)
    Thread-like(neurons)
    Cubicular/rectangular(intestinal cells,
    skin cells, hepatocytes etc)
    Myocytes
    Size Of Cells

    Cells vary in size. Most cells are very small. They can be observed under
    microscope. Some may be large. e.g. RBC’s cell, nerve cells, amoeba,
    euglena

    Largest cell- Ostrich egg

    Longest cell- Nerve cell


    Smallest cell- Mycoplasma
    Structure Of A Cell

    •Although cells differ in size


    and shape, the basic
    structure of the cell is the
    same. It is composed of
    following parts:
    Nucleus
    Cytoplasm
    Cell membrane
    Cell wall(plants and
    bacteria only)
    •Nucleus and cytoplasm
    together known as Cell Structure
    protoplasm.
    Animal Cell
    Plant Cell
    Animal Cell Plant Cell

    They are usually large in size.  They are usually small in size.

    Cell wall made of cellulose is  Cells lack a cell wall.

    Plastids are present.  Plastids are absent.

    A large central vacuole is present.  Numerous small vacuoles are present

    Centrosome is absent.  Centrosome is present.

    Only a thin layer of cytoplasm is  .Dense cytoplasmic material is present.

    Cell division
    Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into
    two or more daughter cell
