LESSON 1: THE CELL
(Theory, Structure and Functions)
GENERAL BIOLOGY 1
OOTD: Objectives of the day!
 At the end of the lesson, I should be able to:
 Recite the postulates of cell theory and explain the roles of a
cell in an organism, particularly in the levels of organization of
an organism;
 Describe the structure and functions of major and subcellular
organelles;
 Determine the role of each cellular organelle and explain
how it relates to the functions of other organelles.

CELL
History of cell
 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.
HISTORY OF CELL
 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”
Cell Theory: 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
First Postulate: Cell is the basic 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.
First Postulate: Cell is the basic 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.
Second Postulate:
ALL LIVING ORGANISMS ARE COMPOSED 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.
Third Postulate:
new cells are created from pre-existing cells
 German scientist Rudolf
Virchow introduced the
third tenet of the cell
theory: Omnis cellula e
cellula which means
“Cells come from pre-
existing cell”.
Development of Cell Theory
 1590 – Zacharias Janssen
invented a primitive
microscope with the help
1663-1665 – Robert
Hooke viewed a thin
slice of cork
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Question!
If life were to be found in other
planets, would you expect it to
form cells? Why or why not?
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.
