UNIT 1:

CELL
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
• Define cell
• Discuss the cell theory
• Cite some importance of cell
Microscope
 An optical device we use to see and
observe things cannot be seen by
the naked eye.
What is the study of cell?

CYTOLOGY
What is cell?
The basic structural and
functional unit of life.
Nerve cells
- are the fundamental and functioning unit
of the entire system in brain .The star
like shaped of the nerve cells can be
distinguish from other types of cells
.From the oval structures that located at
the center known as cell body ,while the
short projections that surrounded the are
called dendrites, and the long, single
branch also known as axon. The nerve cell
carries information to the brain via versa.
Red blood cells
- areoval biconcave discs shape and lack
of nucleus .Red blood cell is the most
abundance in the entire body but they
are small when you compare from white
blood cell. It is also contains a
substance known as Hemoglobin a protein
substance to carries oxygen in the
blood.
  Composition of the cell membrane
 Metabolic activities that they
perform
Common  Similarity of boundary parts (cell
characteristics membrane) and complex materials
inside
 Composition of chemicals
compounds (organic compound and
in organic compound).

CLASSIC CELL THEORY:
 Cells are the building block and
the functional unit of all living
organisms.
 All living organisms are
containing one or more cells.
 Cells arise from the pre-existing
cells
  All living organisms are composed of
trillions of cell in their body.
 Cell is fundamental and building blocks
of all living organisms.
MODERN  Cells come from other cells by cell
CELL division.
THEORY:  The cell consists of genetic material which
is passed from generation up to the last
generation
 All cells are made up of the same in
chemical composition
