Development of Cell

Theory
Module 3
Objectives:
• Trace the development of Cell Theory and its corresponding
proponent
• Identify the contributions made by the different scientists in the
development of the Cell Theory
Let’s have a review!

• Robert Hooke
• He contributed to the discovery of cells
while looking at a thin slice of cork.
• He published Micrographia. Source:https://

Zacharias and Hans Janssen

• Compound microscope and telescope

• Janssen's microscope consists of three draw
tubes with lenses inserted into the ends of
the flanking tubes.

• First to observe and describe bacteria
• Protozoa single-celled organisms
known as animalcules.

pathology, or the study of disease at
the cellular level.
• Omnis cellula e cellula
3 principles of Cell Theory
1. All living things are composed of one or more cells,
2. Cell is the basic unit of life and;
3. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.

 Introduction to Cell
Structure and Functions
of Animal and Plant Cell
Module 4
Objectives:
• Identify and differentiate the major and subcellular organelles of plant
and animal cell
• Describe the structure and function of major and subcellular
organelles of plant and animal cell

Nucleus
• Governor of the cell
• It controls all the activities of
every organelle
• Houses the DNA and directs the
synthesis of protein and
ribosomes.
Plasma Membrane
• Gate keeper of the cell; it guards the
entrance
• Semi-permeable

Cell Wall
• Present in plant cell
• Provides rigidity and gives shape
Cytoplasm
• It is where all organelles are embedded
• Cytosol fluid portion of the cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
• network of protein fibers
• Microfilaments for cellular movement and provides rigidity and shape
• Intermediate for structural
• Microtubule composed of tubulin, resist compression
Mitochondria
• Responsible for making ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate)
• Mitochondrial matrix encloses DNA
• Cristae houses enzymes that
catalyze reactions for cellular
respiration
Chloroplast
• Carry out photosynthesis
• Contains photosynthetic pigment
• Absent in animal cell

Autotrophs (plants)
Heterotrophs (animals)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER
has ribosomes attached
responsible for protein synthesis

Smooth ER
has no ribosomes attached
responsible for lipid synthesis
Golgi Apparatus
• Camillo Golgi
• Tagging, sorting and distribution of
proteins
• cis face and trans face
Lysosome & Peroxisomes
• Peroxisomes has oxidation reaction that
breakdown fatty acids and amino acids
• Release hydrogen peroxide
• Lysosomes are called “suicidal bag”
• Contains hydrolytic enzyme
• Phagocytosis or endocytosis
• Breaking down old organelles and apoptosis
to recycle
Centrioles
• Responsible for cellular division
• Not present in plant cell
Vacuole
• Turgor pressure and 90% volume of
the cell
• If large vacuole shrinks, it will result
to wilted appearance of plant
• Not present in animal cell
