Cell Structure
Object: to study the general structure of the
cell, morphological variation (shapes) and
size of cells through the light microscope.
History
In the 1600s, Anton Van Leevwenhoek
used a single lens microscope to view
bacteria
Leevwenhoek’s microscope
2- Robert Hook (1635 – 1703):
discovered small
“rooms” called CELLS
under a piece of cork
Robert Hook’s Microscope:
3 – Scientists (Schwann, Schleiden and
Virchow) put the CELL THEORY in
(1882)
a – Cells are basic unit of living things
b – All living things are made up of cells
c – New cells come from pre-existing cells
Classification of Cells
Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
e.g., Bacteria
Free Cells
Cells as a unit
Amoeba
Reproductive cells Somatic cells
Euglena
Paramecium
Trypanosoma
eggs
sperms
Types of Cells:
Prokaryotes
Ex. Bacteria and Blue green Algae
Eukaryotes
Ex. Plants, Animals, Fungi, and Protists
But, what are the
characteristics of prokaryotes
and eukaryotes?
Differences between prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells
PROKARYOTIC
EUKARYOTIC
No nucleus [nucleoid
instead]
DNA circular and not
complexed with protein
Nucleus with envelope
Smaller than eukaryotes
DNA linear and with
protein to form
chromatin
larger than prokaryotes
No membrane bound
organelles
Many membrane bound
organelles
Simple cells
highly specialized.
Typical prokaryotic structures
Typical shapes of bacteria
Characteristic grouping (or not grouping)
Cocci do not have flagella
Cell Shapes
Cell Sizes
frog or fish egg are the largest individual cells
easily visible, approx. 1mm diameter
human or sea urchin egg, approx. 100 m
diameter
typical somatic cell, approx. 20 - 70m
plant cells are larger, approx. 10 -100 m
bacteria are smaller, approx. 1- 5 m
Cell Size
Levels of Organization
Cell
tissue
organ
organ system
Different types of cells:
Protists: single eukaryotic cells:
such as:
1- Amoeba
2- Paramecium
3- Euglena
4- Trypanosomes
1- Amoeba proteus
2 – Paramecium caudatum
3 – Euglena Viridis
4 – Trypanosoma spp.

Components of Blood
Blood is a mixture of cellular components
suspended in plasma:
1. Erythrocytes (RBCs)
2. Leukocytes (WBCs)
3. Thrombocytes (platelets)
Total Blood Volume: 8 % of body weight
2.75 / 5.5 liters of blood is plasma
(remaining is the cellular portion)
Centrifuged Blood Sample
Separation of Components
Plasma = Less Dense
Platelets / WBC’s
RBC’s
More Dense
