Discovering the Cell
1665 - Robert Hooke
Anton van Leeuwenhoek late 17th, early 18th
centuries
• 1839 – Cell Theory is proposed
independently by Theodore Schwann
and Matthias Jakob Schleiden.
• Cell Theory:
• The cell is the fundamental structure of all living
things.
• All living things are made of cells.
• Cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell
division.

Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic Features
• No membrane-bound organelles, such
as a nucleus.
• DNA in one large ring-shaped
chromosome
• An enormous variety of metabolic
pathways.
• Highly successful and adaptable.

Viruses
• A virus is usually
not considered
living.
• A virus consists
only of a protein
coat (sometimes
with a lipid outer
layer) and a piece
of genetic material
(DNA or RNA).

Eukaryotic Cells
Eukaryotic Features
• Cells contain membrane-bound
organelles.
• Nucleus holds multiple strands of DNA,
which condense into chromosomes
during cell division.
• May be single-celled or multi-cellular
organisms.

Things we will see in cells
• First let’s focus on things we can see
using a light microscope and ordinary
stains:
• Cell nucleus
• Cell membrane
• Cell wall
• Plastids (Chloroplast, amyloplast,
chromoplast)
• Plant cell vacuole

Protein-making Machinery
• Information for making proteins is in
DNA, stored in the nucleus.
• An RNA copy is made in the nucleus and
sent out to the rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum (ER).
• Proteins leave the ER and are finished
and packaged in the Golgi apparatus.

4 Completed protein
is packaged into
vesicles.
3 Vesicles fuse with Golgi. The
protein may be altered and finished.
2 Protein is packaged
into vesicles and travels
to Golgi apparatus.

Organelles in Cell Energy
• Chloroplasts capture energy from the
sun and use that energy to manufacture
sugars (chemical energy storage).
• Mitochondria break the bonds in sugars
and release the energy that was stored
there.

Single-Celled Organisms
• Single-celled organisms carry out the
same functions that our multicellular
bodies do, but all within a single cell.
How do they do it?
One-celled Eukaryotic organisms have unique challenges.
A Paramecium must:
ingest food
excrete waste
sense and respond
to the environment
(a) Cilium
propulsion of fluid
power stroke
plasma membrane
return stroke

Recap
• Prokaryotic cells have no membranebound organelles.
• Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound
organelles, which compartmentalize
processes for better efficiency.
• ALL cells have a cell membrane and
DNA.
