The document discusses the cell theory and structure and function of cells. It notes that the cell theory developed from early microscopy studies and contributions from many scientists. The cell theory has three main principles: all organisms are made of cells, all cells come from preexisting cells, and the cell is the basic unit of life. The document also describes key components of cell structure including the nucleus, organelles, cytoskeleton, and cell membrane. It explains functions of organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes.
The word cell is derived from the Latin word “cellula” which means “a little room”
It was the British botanist Robert Hooke who, in 1664, while examining a slice of bottle cork under a microscope, found its structure resembling the box-like living quarters of the monks in a monastery, and coined the word “cells”
The presentation includes the basics of cell: Definition, criteria for defining a cell, differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, plat and animal cells, structure and function of organelles, symbiont theory and MCQs.

Cell Theory
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
Learn about Sky Islands and the challenges trees and plants face at high elevations. Snow, wind, cold, aridity, UV light all impact treeline, as well as, provide opportunities for forests to grow in an otherwise desert landscape.
Why did the Earth go from a hot, humid planet with forests all the way up to the North Pole and then suddenly convert to a more modern cooler climate around 47 million years ago?
3. The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope. Many scientists contributed to the cell theory. More was learned about cells as microscopes improved. The cell theory is a unifying concept of biology.
