Lesson

1 The Cell Theory

Let Us Study

In your previous grade levels, you have learned about the characteristics of a cell –
its parts and the functions of each part. In this lesson, we will learn how cells were
first discovered, how the cell theory was developed, and the main components of the
cell theory. To enhance learning, you will be doing activities around cell theory for
deeper understanding of this lesson.

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch shopkeeper, discovered the microscope in the

1600. This paved way to the discovery of bacteria and protozoa. In his experiments,
he observed the box – like structures when viewing cork tissue through his lens, in
which he coined the term “cell”. Developments in 17 th century in the field of
microscopy and staining techniques enabled other scientist to view some
components inside the cells.

The unified theory was proposed by botanist Matthias Schleiden and zoologist
Theodor Schwann who were both studying tissues in the late 1930’s. The unified cell
theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell
is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells. Rudolf Virchow
later made important contributions to this theory.

Later, spontaneous generation as a method for cell origination – abiogenesis was

proposed by Schleiden and Schwann but was disproven. Furthermore, Rudolf
Virchow proposed that - “All cells only arise from pre-existing cells”.

These observations made by Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow,

and others made an important hallmark for the development of the cell theory. The
cell theory is a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and
living things. The cell theory states: (1) All living things or organisms are made of
cells; (2) New cells are created by old cells dividing into two; and (3) Cells are the
basic building units of life.

The cell theory proves that cells are common to all living things and the best source
of information about life. And because cells come from other cell, it is possible for
scientists to study growth and reproduction and all other functions of living things.

THE THREE POSTULATES OF THE CELL THEORY

1. The cell is the basic unit of life.

All living things are made up of cells. Cell is the smallest unit of living things and the
smallest part of the organism that retains characteristics of the entire organism. For
example, a cell can take in fuel, convert it to energy, and eliminate metabolic wastes,
just like the organism as a whole can. The structures inside the cell cannot perform
these functions on their own, so the cell is considered the lowest level.

2. All living things are made up of one or more cells.

A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human),
is called an organism. Several cells of one kind that interconnect with each other
and perform a shared function form tissue; several tissues combine to form an organ
(your stomach, heart, or brain); and several organs make up an organ system (such
as the digestive system, circulatory system, or nervous system). Several systems that
function together form an organism (like a human being).

3. All cells come from pre-existing cells (omni cellulae e cellula).

In the mid-1800s, the long-standing myth which claims the "spontaneous

generation" of life from inanimate matter was dispelled. This happened when Rudolf
Virchow observed that cells divide to produce more cells. It became clear that all life
must arise from pre-existing life — via a process of reproduction. If cells are the
fundamental units of life, they too must have a reproductive mechanism that
maintains the proper chromosome number in each cell.

Activity 2. Cell Comics

Direction: Read the text below. Choose one new tenet from the Modern Cell Theory
(e.g. Energy flows within cells.) and create a short comic strip illustrating and
explaining the chosen tenet. The comics can be funny, but must also be clear,
accurate, and explanatory in nature.

All three postulates of the Cell Theory are equally important – the postulates support
the theory that the functions necessary for life occur in the cell. Findings since the time
of the original Cell Theory have enabled scientists to "modernize" the theory, including
points related to biochemistry and molecular biology. The modern version of the Cell
Theory includes:

● All known living things are made up of one or more cells.

● All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division.
● The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
● The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent
cells.
● Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells.
● Cells contain hereditary information (DNA) which is passed from cell to
cell during cell division.
● All cells are basically the same in chemical composition in organisms
of similar species.
The Cell Theory is one of the main principles of biology. The points of the theory have
been found to be true for all life. It has withstood intense examination of cells by
modern powerful microscopes and other instruments.

Lesson
Cell Structure and
2 Functions

Let Us Study

Learned in our Biology class that an organelle is a membrane bound structure found
within a cell and they make up the subunits of the cell. In this lesson, we will
scrutinize what is inside a cell. We will describe the structures of the organelles and
subcellular organelles and how they function. We will also identify whether such
organelle is found in plants or animals.
 Plant Cell Animal Cell

An organelle is a cell’s internal organ – they can be found within the cell. Imagine
that the organelles are the smaller offices/rooms within the factory, which has
specialized ability to help other offices/rooms within the factory, helping in the
carrying out of specific task or function. These organelles are in the cytoplasm – a
viscous liquid found within the cell membrane where organelles can be found and
where most actions in the cell happened.

Below is a table of organelles, their description, function, and classification.

Activity 3: The factory as a Cell

Floating around in the cytoplasm are small structures called organelles. Like the
organs in your own body, each one carries out a specific function necessary for the
cell to survive. Imagine the cells as a miniature factory. The organelles might
represent working site, manager, workers, or departments of the factory because they
each have similar jobs.

Direction: Compare the cell to a city. Identify which organelle corresponds to the
function of a city icon below. Write your answer on a separate paper.

 Let Us Remember

In this lesson, we discussed the organelles structure and their functions

and compare it to a factory part. We also learned that each structure has
a specialized function and carry out specific task. Below is a table of organelles,
function, and example we need to remember.

Lesson
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
3 Cells

Let Us Study

In lesson 2, you have learned about the cell structure and function of major and
subcellular organelles. In this next topic, you will learn on prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells according to their distinguishing features.

Did you know that cell is the basic unit of life? All living organism are composed of
one to trillions of cells that work together to carry out life processes. Cells are
classified into two types. Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

Are you now ready to learn how these two kinds of cells differ from each other? So,
let’s get started and enjoy!
Knowing our Cells
All life on Earth consists of either eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes
were the first form of life. Scientists believe that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes
around 2.7 billion years ago.
Cells fall into one of two broad categories: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The
predominantly single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are
classified as prokaryotes (pro– = before; –karyon– = nucleus). Animal cells, plant
cells, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes (eu– = true).
All cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, share these four features:
1. DNA
2. Plasma membrane
3. Cytoplasm
4. Ribosomes
Eukaryotic Cell Structure

Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a membrane-bound nucleus and many
internal membranes called organelles. The eukaryotic cell has three main parts as
follows.
a. Cell membrane that separates the intracellular space from the outer space
physically delimiting the cell.
b. Cytoplasm, the interior portion filled with cytosol (the aqueous fluid inside
the cell and contains all the organelles
c. Nucleus, covered by double membrane that contains the genetic material.
d. Ribosomes are molecular machines that synthesize proteins.
Prokaryotic Cell Structure
A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles.
a. The plasma membrane is an outer covering that separates the cell’s interior
from its surrounding environment.
b. Cytoplasm consists of the jelly-like cytosol inside the cell, plus the cellular
structures suspended in it. In eukaryotes, cytoplasm specifically means the
region outside the nucleus but inside the plasma membrane.
c. DNA is the genetic material of the cell.
d. Ribosomes are molecular machines that synthesize proteins.

 Let Us Remember

In Lesson 3, you have learned that the cell is the basic unit of life, responsible
for all biological activities of the living being whether its prokaryote or eukaryote.
Both of these cells vary in their role, like prokaryotes are the old type of cells hence
they lack a proper nucleus and other organelles too, which are very well present in
eukaryotes, as these are advanced cells.
● Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a membrane-bound
nucleus, mitochondria, and all other organelles.
● Eukaryotes are organisms with cells that contain membrane-bound nucleus
and other membrane-bound organelles.

Let Us Reflect

Early evidence for the cell theory was provided by German scientists. In 1838, the
botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants are composed of cells. A year
later, the zoologist Theodor Schwann came to the same conclusion about animals.
In 1855, Rudolf Virchow, a physician who had been studying how disease affects
living things, reasoned that cell come only from other cells. Over the years, modern
scientists have gathered much additional evidence that strongly supports the cell
theory.
