Second Quarter/ Week 4 / Day 1

This module aims to discuss the parts and function of the plant and animal cell
using illustrations/video clips.

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY

• All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the basic unit of a living organism and where all life
processes are carried out. Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of nucleus,
cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane. Plant cells have three extra components,
a vacuole, chloroplast and a cell wall.

Animals are made up of millions of cells. Animal cells have an irregular structure and are made
up of four key parts:
Nucleus – This contains genetic material (DNA), and controls the cell's activity.
Cell membrane – A flexible layer that surrounds the cell and controls the substances that enter and exit.
Cytoplasm – A jelly-like substance where the chemical reactions happen.
Mitochondria – This is where energy is released from the food molecules.

Plants are also made up of millions of cells. Plant cells have a nucleus, cell membrane,
cytoplasm and mitochondria too, but they also contain the following structures:
Cell wall – A hard layer outside the cell membrane, containing cellulose to provide strength to the plant.
Vacuole – A space inside the cell that is used to store substances and help the cell keep its shape.
Chloroplasts – Structures that contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which are a key part of
photosynthesis.

Cell structures
1. Cell Wall: This is the rigid outermost layer of a plant cell. It makes the cell stiff -providing the cell
with mechanical support - and giving it protection. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
2. Cell Membrane: This is a protective layer that surrounds every cell and separates it from its
external environment. It is found just inside the cell wall and is made up of complex lipids (fats)
and proteins.
3. Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is a thick, aqueous (water-based) solution in which the organelles are
found. Substances such as salts, nutrients, minerals and enzymes (molecules involved in
metabolism) are dissolved in the cytoplasm.
4. Nucleus: The nucleus is the ‘control center’ of the cell. It contains Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA),
the genetic material that directs all the activities of the cell. Only eukaryotic cells
have nuclei (plural for nucleus), prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is separated from the
cytoplasm by a specialized membrane called the
5. Nuclear membrane.
6. Ribosomes: These are little round structures that produce proteins. They are found in the
cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
7. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): The ER is a membrane system of folded sacs and tunnels. The ER
helps move proteins within the cell as well as export them outside of the cell. There are two types
of endoplasmic reticulum.
8. Rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes.
9. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (no ribosomes)
10. Golgi body: The Golgi body is a stack of membrane-covered sacs that prepares proteins for
export from the cell.
11. Mitochondrion (plural mitochondria): This is the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. It converts the energy
stored in food (sugar and fat) into energy-rich molecules that the cell can use (Adenosine
triphosphate – ATP for short).
12. Lysosome: The lysosome is the digestive center of a cell that produces many different types of
enzymes which are able to break down food particles and recycle worn out components of the cell.
13. Vacuoles: These are large membrane-enclosed compartments that store toxic wastes as well as
useful products such as water. These are mainly found in plants.
14. Chloroplast: Chloroplasts contain a green pigment that traps sunlight and converts it into sugars
by a process called photosynthesis. The sugars are a source of energy for the plants and the
animals that eat them.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Each eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus, ribosomes,

mitochondria, peroxisomes, and in some, vacuoles; however, there are some
striking differences between animal and plant cells. While both animal and plant cells
have microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs), animal cells also have centrioles
associated with the MTOC: a complex called the centrosome. Animal cells each have
a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell
wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole,
whereas animal cells do not.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 7
SECOND QUARTER / WEEK 4 / DAY 3

OBJECTIVE: Identify the different scientists involved in the discovery of the cell

HOW IT ALL STARTED?

Romans
When Romans discovered they were able to make glass in the 1st century BC, things changed for the better!
What is a Theory?
A set of principles developed over time via multiple investigations.
The discovery of the cell was made through the invention of the microscope between 1665-1838.
Cell Theory
There are 3 major parts of the cell theory:
1. All organisms are made of cells.
2. All existing cells are produced by other living cells.
3. The cell is the most basic unit of life.
Contributors
There are 6 contributors to the cell theory:
1. Hans and Zacharias Janssen
2. Robert Hooke
3. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
4. Matthias Schleiden
5. Theodor Schwann
6. Rudolf Virchow
Each of the above contributors produced evidence through investigations and experiments that led
to today’s cell theory!

Hans and Zacharias Janssen (Late 1500’s)

Dutch lens grinders

o father and son, who produced first compound microscope (2 lenses) which enabled someone to see
a cell (but they didn't look).
Robert Hooke (1665)

English Scientist
o Used the compound microscope to observe cork.
o Hooke observed that cork is composed of small, hollow compartments.
o The parts prompted Hooke to think of small rooms (cells) in a monastery, so he gave them the same
name: CELLS.
o Investigated cork through experimenting with the compound microscope and came up with
the name cells!
Key Note: Hooke discovered the cell in 1665, which started formulating the cell theory!
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1676)

Dutch Tradesman
o Study new approaches for creating lenses to observe cloth.
o Leeuwenhoek’s microscope was more powerful than Hooke’s compound microscope.
o From investigating and experimenting with his microscope, Leeuwenhoek became one of the first
scientists to refer to living cells when he observed an abundant number of single-celled organisms,
which he called animalcules (plant & animal), swimming in a drop of pond water!

Matthias Schleiden 1838

German Scientist
o Fascinated with plant cells, Schleiden used the compound microscope and studied plant cells.
o From investigating and experimenting with plants, projected plant parts are made of cells!
o Discussed what he observed with his dear friend, German scientist Theodor Schwann.
Theodor Schwann (1839)

German Scientist
o Studied plant & animal cells and was intrigued by the similarities between the two.
o From investigating and experimenting with plant & animal cells, Schwann was able to determine that
all animals are made of cells!
o Schwann published the 1st statement of the cell theory: all living things are made of cells and cell
products!
Rudolf Virchow (1855)

o Based on his investigations and experiments, he stated that all cells come from preexisting cells,
which is the 2nd part of the cell theory: all existing cells are produced by other living cells!
o Key Note: After Virchow’s completed his work, the cell theory was finally formulated in 1838!

Hello I’m Cellie! I will be your peer tutor

today. First, let’s read the content of our lesson
for today.

Cells can be thought of as tiny packages that contain minute factories, warehouses, transport systems, and power
plants. They function on their own, creating their own energy and self-replicating — the cell is the smallest unit of life
that can replicate. However, cells also communicate with each other and connect to create a solid, well stuck-together
animal. Cells build tissues, which form organs; and organs work together to keep the organism alive.
Robert Hook first discovered cells in 1665. He gave them their name because they resembled the cella (Latin for “small
rooms”) where monks lived in monasteries.

What is the structure of cells?

Each cell is surrounded by a membrane and contains parts called cellular organelles. Each cellular organelle has
a specific function. Some parts of a cell are involved in converting energy from nutrients in the food you eat into a form
of energy that the cell can use. Other parts of the cell are involved in storing the genetic information that serves as the
blueprint that makes you different from a gorilla or a hummingbird. Still other parts of a cell are responsible for building
the proteins that enable the cell to do its many tasks. Cells differ in shapes.

brain cells have the same internal
structures as your other cells?

Yes. Although brain cells look quite different

from other cells in their shapes, each cells has
its own organelles that perform the same
tasks such as making proteins and
obtaining energy.

Two Types of Cells

There are two cell types: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells are usually single-celled and smaller than
eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are usually found in multicellular organisms, but there are some single-celled
eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (eq. bacterial cell). Eukaryotic
cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This allows these cells to have complex functions (eq.
plants and animal cell).
