CELL
“The smallest functioial unit of life is a cell,
discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665.
+A cell can independently perform all
necessary activities to sustain life.
_—
+ Hence cell is the basic unit of life.
«Inside the cell there are different parts performing
different activities to keep the cell alive and
functional. These part are called
Cell Organelles.
THEORY:
By the late 1830s, Botanist Matthias Schleiden
and Zoologist
Theodor Schwann were studying tissues and
proposed the unified cell theory.
+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
from existing cells.+Rudolph Virchow is credited with several
key discoveries. His most widely known
scientific contribution is his cell theory,
which built on the work of Theodor
Schwann. ... Virchow's cellular
theory was encapsulated in the epigram
“Omni cellula e cellula” (all
cells come from pre-existing cells), which he
published in 1855.

Structure of Animal & Plant Cell
Functions:
1, Plasma/Cell membrane: This is the outermost
covering of the cell that separates the
contents of the cell from its external
environment.
CELL MEMBRANE—— ow
«It is a living part of the cell and is present in cells,
of plants, animals and microorganisms.
+ It is composed of lipid and protein.
Function:
*As it is selectively permeable membrane, it allows
the flow of limited substances in and out of the
cell.
Some substances like CO2 or O2 gases can
move across the cell membrane by a process
called diffusion.
Diffusion
High concentration Low concentration
The movement of water molecules (liquid)
through such a selectively permeable membrane
is called osmosis.

In this topic we have to study that what
happens to a cell when it is kept in
different types of solutions e.g.:
(A.)Hypertonic Solution (B.)Hypotonic
Solution (C.)Isotonic Solution
A cell in an isotonic s
lution is in equilibrium with
its surroundings, meaning the solute concentrations
inside and outside are the same (iso means equal in
Latin). In this state there is no large movement of
water in or out. Water molecules freely move in and
out of the cell, andthe rate of movement is same in
both directions.

SOLUTION
A hypotonic solution is any solution that has a
lower osmotic pressure than another solution.
The difference in concentration between the
compartments causes water to enter the cell, if
left ina highly hypertonic solution, an animal
cell will swell until it bursts and dies.
Hypotonic
The cells inflate

Solute concentration
inside the cell is HIGHER
SOLUTION
Hypertonic refers to a solution with higher
osmotic pressure than
another solution. A hypertonic solution is
one in which there is a greater
concentration or number of solute
particles outside a membrane than there
are inside it. This causes water to rush out
making the cell wrinkle or shrivel.Hypertonic
