    The document summarizes the key functions of cells and scientists who contributed to the development of cell theory. Cells regulate their internal environment through homeostasis, acquire and use chemical energy from food, and respond to changes in their external environment. They also provide protection and support. Scientists like Hooke, van Leeuwenhoek, and Schwann made early observations of cells and tissues using microscopes. Schleiden and Schwann proposed that plants and animals are composed of cells, and Virchow established that all cells come from pre-existing cells. The cell theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, new cells are produced from existing cells, cells contain DNA and pass it to new cells

    FUNCTIONS OF THE CELL: SCIENTISTS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE

    DEVELOPMENT OF CELL THEORY:


    a. Regulation of Internal Environment
    b. Acquisition and Utilization of Energy a. Zacharias Janssen (1585–1632) invented the
    c. Responsiveness to Its Environment first primitive microscope.
    d. Protection and Support
    b. Robert Hooke - observed cork cells under a

    ENVIRONMENT:

    d. Anton van Leeuwenhoek - observed

    because most cells of an organism require a microscope.
    specific set of conditions to function normally.
    e. Matthias Schleiden - proposed that all plants
    are composed of cells.
    B. ACQUISITION AND UTILIZATION OF ENERGY:

    f. Theodor Schwann - proposed that all animals


    Chemical Energy - It is stored in the bonds
    are composed of cells.
    present in food molecules, and it will be
    converted by the cells into more usable forms.
    g. Rudolf Virchow - proposed that all cells come
    from pre-existing cells.
    Energy is needed by various cells to perform
    their functions:
    h. Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch - are the two
    greatest figures in medical microbiology and in
    Heart cells - to pump blood
    establishing acceptance of the germ theory of
    Intestinal cells - to digest food

    Skeletal cells - to initiate
    Nerve cells - to conduct motion
    THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CELL THEORY:
    C. RESPONSIVENESS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT
    PRINCIPLE #1 - EVERY LIVING ORGANISM
    CONSISTS OF ONE OR MORE CELLS.
    > A cell must first be able to determine the
    changes that have taken place before deciding

    PRINCIPLE #2 - THE CELL IS THE FUNDAMENTAL


    D. PROTECTION AND SUPPORT
    UNIT OF LIFE.

    enter the general circulation.
    PRINCIPLE #3. - CELLS COME FROM PRE-
    EXISTING CELLS.

    > Cells contain hereditary material, which they


    pass to their daughter cells.

    PRINCIPLE #4 - CELLS CONTAIN HEREDITARY


    INFORMATION THAT IS PASSED FROM CELL TO
    CELL DURING CELL DIVISION.

    PRINCIPLE #5 - ENERGY FLOW (METABOLISM


    AND BIOCHEMISTRY) OCCURS WITHIN CELLS.

    PRINCIPLE #6 - ALL CELLS HAVE SIMILAR


    COMPOSITION

    GENERAL INFORMATION:

    a. Cells are generally small in size that they can


    only be viewed and magnified through the use
    of a microscope.

    b. Cells have a high surface area to volume


    ratio to ensure that they get adequate nutrients
    and to prevent a high concentration of wastes
    from accumulating.

    c. Generally, cells function for support and


    protection, regulation of the internal
    environment, response to external stimuli, and
    acquisition and utilization of energy for cellular
    activities.

    d. Different scientists were involved in the


    development of the cell theory before it was
    finalized into six major statements.

    e. The principles of the cell theory disproved


    the long-held belief of many scientists about the
    theory of spontaneous generation.
