Understanding Cell Theory Basics

This document discusses the formulation of the cell theory. It provides background on early microscope inventors like Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, and Janssen and their observations of cells. Key contributors to the cell theory are mentioned, including Schleiden who said plants are made of cells, and Schwann who extended this to say animals are also made of cells. The modern cell theory is outlined in 6 postulates regarding cells as the basic unit of structure and function in living things.

Lord, thank you for this day.

For the presence of everyone


in this online class. For once again, we are gathered
and given the opportunity to appreciate life, learnings
and your words. Forgive us for our shortcomings and
cleanse our hearts as we learn and live your words and example.
Father, bless our endeavor especially today’s online class.
May you guide us in our discussions and may you enlighten our
minds in every decision that we make. Give us your grace that
we may effectively do our parts for your greater glory.
All these we ask in Jesus’name.
AMEN
At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. state the postulates of the cell theory


2. give the reasoning that led to the postulates of
the cell theory
3. arrange the events that led to the formulation of
the cell theory
4. acknowledge the individuals who contributed to
the formulation of the cell theory
Levels of
Organization
Janssen’s Microscope
Robert Hooke’s Microscope
Leeuwenhoek’s Microscope
Compound Microscope
Binocular Microscope
Robert Hooke
Contributions:
- He observed pieces of cork from
the bark of a cork tree under the
microscope.
- His observations led him to coin
the word “cell.”
- “Cell”- means little rooms in Latin
- He compared the small boxes to
the small rooms that monks lived
in.
- He compared the small boxes to the small
rooms that monks lived in.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1674)
◦ Father of Microscopy
◦ Saw tiny living things in pond water.
Discovered that animals
are composed of cells
- Cheek cells Amphibian Blood

-Used a microscope to observe


numerous animal tissues and declared
“ALL ANIMALS ARE MADE OF
CELLS!”
Discovered that plants are
composed of cells
Onion cells Elodea cells Cork cells

-studied numerous plant parts under the


microscope and declared “ALL PLANTS
ARE MADE OF CELLS!”
As mentioned earlier, Matthias
Schleiden said that plants are
made up of cells, while Theodor
Schwann said that animals are
also made up of cells.
THE MODERN CELL THEORY
1. All known living things are made up of cells.
2. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living
things.
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells by division.
4. Cells contain hereditary information that is passed from
cell to cell during cell division.
THE MODERN CELL THEORY
4. Cells contain hereditary information that is passed from
cell to cell during cell division.
5. All cells are basically the same in chemical composition.
6. All energy flow ( metabolism and biochemistry) of life
occurs within cells.
