LS 2c: Describe and sequence the major points in the development of the cell theory.
Explanation
The cell theory:
1. Cells are the basic unit of life.
2. All living things are made of
cells.
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
The important scientists, in order:
Hooke, van Leeuwenhoek, Schlieden, Schwann, Virchow
Summary
Hooke: The cell is the basic unit of life. Coined the term cells (cellulae – rooms
in latin) – looked at cork.
Van Leeuwenhoek: improved upon the microscope and was able to see much
smaller things. Studied tooth plaque and pond scum and was the first to find
bacteria and protists.
Schlieden: all plants are composed of cells
Schwann: all animals are composed of cells
Virchow: all cells come from pre-existing cells. Lived at the time of Louis
Pasteur who disproved “spontaneous generation.”
The work from all these scientists over the course of 200 years combined to
form the three parts of the current cell theory!

LS 2a: Describe the structure and function of the cell membrane, cytoplasm,
nucleus, cell wall, vacuole, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and
chloroplast
Explanation
Nucleus – contains the
cell’s DNA and is the
control center of the cell.
Ribosomes – the site where
amino acids are hooked
together to make proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum – makes
lipids, breaks down drugs and
other substances, packages up
proteins for release from the cell.
Mitochondria – break
down food molecules to
make ATP
Example
Chloroplasts – make food
using the energy of
sunlight.
Golgi Complex–
processes and transports
materials out of the cell.
Vacuole – stores water
and other materials.
Lysosomes – digest food
particles wastes, cell
parts, and foreign
invaders.
Standard Check!
1. Color each organelle:
a. cell membrane (pink), cytoplasm (yellow), nucleus(purple), cell wall (gray), vacuole (blue), mitochondria (red), endoplasmic
reticulum (orange), chloroplast (green)
2. If a cell was a piece of pizza, the cell membrane could be the crust. The cell wall might be the gluten in the crust since it provides
structure and support to the cell membrane. What would be your:
