3. THE CELL THEORY
1. Cells are the smallest units of life.
2. Cells come only from existing cells
3. Cell is the unit of function of all living cells
Theodor Schwann Matthais Schleidon Rudolf Virchow
4. Are there exceptions to the cell theory??
No protoplasm No definite nucleus
One celled
Many nuclei
No nucleus
7. LYSOSOMES
• LYSOSOMES
• Rounded or spherical with single
membrane containing acid hydrolases.
■ Structure: Two subunits- Large
subunit and small subunit
■ Present freely in the cytoplasm.
■ FUNCTION- SITE OF PROTEIN
SYNTHESIS
RIBOSOMES
8. Centrioles
• Non membranous cell organelle.
• Occur in pairs- diplosome
• Occur at right angles to each other in the
cytoplasm –centrosphere.
• Centriole and centrosphere- centrosome
• Function- initiates cell division
9. VACUOLES
• Sap filled vesicles in
the cytoplasm
• Bounded by
tonoplast, fluid- cell
sap
10. NUCLEUS
Structure:
• 1. Nuclear envelope or karyotheca
• 2. Nucleoplasm -karyolymph
• 3. Chromatin net
• 4. Nucleolus
Occurrence:
• Absent in bacteria, BGA
(prokaryotes)
• Present in all eukaryotes
