3.1 Cell Theory
KEY CONCEPT Cells are the Basic unit of life.
Macrophages- play an important role in your immune system- take in a
digest foreign materials (red= bacteria)
3.1 Cell Theory
The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists
and improvements in the microscope.
• Many scientists contributed to the cell theory.

3.1 Cell Theory
Robert Hooke
•In 1665 he used the three-lens compound microscope to
examine thin slices of cork
•He observed that cork is made of tiny, hallow
compartments
•These compartments reminded Hooke of small rooms
found in monasteries (where monks live), so he
named them cells.

•
More was learned about cells
as microscopes improved.

How does the size of a cell in a blue
whale compare to the size of the cell
in a tadpole?
3.1 Cell Theory
How does the size of a cell in a blue whale compare to the size of the
cell in a tadpole?
A: Most cells in a whale are the same size as in a tadpole! So what
makes a blue whale so much bigger?
A whale has far more cells.
3.1 Cell Theory
The Cell theory has three principles.
1. All organisms are made of cells.
3.1 Cell Theory
2. All existing cells are produced by other living cells.
3.1 Cell Theory
3. The cell is the most basic unit of life.
3.1 Cell Theory
One of the 3 principles of
cell theory is that ALL
existing cells are
produced by other
existing cells. Apply this
principle to a cut on your
arm.
(Explain what is happening throughout
the healing process)
3.1 Cell Theory
Answer
One of the 3 principles of cell theory is that
ALL existing cells are produced by other
existing cells. Apply this principle to a cut
on your arm.
You get a cut
You start to bleed
You form a scab
• Messages are sent to skin cells to
replicate
• Skin cells replicate through mitosis
New skin cells are created
Scab falls off
You are healed!
3.1 Cell Theory
All cells share certain characteristics
– Cells tend to be microscopic.
– All cells are enclosed
by a membrane.
– All cells are filled with
cytoplasm.

There are two cell types: eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic
cells.

Eukaryotic cells have a

3.1 Cell Theory
Organelles: structures that are specialized to perform distinct
processes within a cell. The nucleus is usually the largest and
most visible organelle.

PLANTS

Cytoplasm: is a jellylike substance that contains dissolved molecular
building blocks- such as proteins, nucleic acids, minerals, and ions

Prokaryotic cells do not
have a nucleus.

•
do not have membranebound organelles

Viruses
Virus- An infective agent that typically consists of a DNA or
RNA strand in a protein coat.
• multiply only within the living cells of a host
• Antibiotics will not work on them
Protein Coat
• Vaccines prevent them
EX: Herpes virus
Influenza
Chickenpox
Ebola virus
