described cells in cork

Cell Theory
 Matthias
Schleiden
 Theodor
Schwann
 Rudolf
Virchow
‹
#
›
Cell Theory
1) Every organism is composed of one or
more cells
‹
#
‹
›#
›
2) Cell is smallest unit having properties of
life
3) Continuity of life arises from growth and
‹
#
›
division of single cells
‹
#
›
‹
#
‹
›#
›
Cell

 Can
survive on its own or has
potential to do so
 Is
highly organized for metabolism
 Senses

#
›
unit of life

and responds to environment
potential to reproduce

Cells are Microscopic
 Why
aren’t cells larger?
 Animal cells range from 7-50 μm,
some are much larger:

‹
#


Nerve cells
Algae
Eggs
Plant cells are generally larger
‹
#
›
‹
#
‹
›#
›
Why aren’t Cells Larger?
•
•
•
‹
#
›
As cells grow larger, volume increases
faster than surface area
Large cells do not have sufficient
surface area for efficient diffusion of
nutrients and wastes
Nuclei control activities of smaller
cells more easily

Structure of Cells
The plasma membrane
and internal cell
membranes consist of
lipids and proteins. The
lipids are organized as
two adjacent layers—as
bi-layer.

Why Are Cells So Small?

Surface-to-volume ratio

The bigger a cell is, the less surface area
there is per unit volume

Above a certain size, material cannot be
moved in or out of cell fast enough
‹

(nanometers)
‹
#
‹
›#
›
‹
#
›
 If
a structure is less than one-half of a
wavelength long, it will not be visible
 Light
microscopes can resolve
objects down to about 200 nm in size
‹
#
›
‹
#
‹
›#
›
‹
#

channels or pores that allow for the
passage of hydrophilic substances.
