Cell Theory

This activity includes the cell theory and contributions of the following scientist: Leewenhoek, Schleiden, Brown, Hooke, Schwann, and Dujardin. Also, the function of the cell membrane, golgi apparatus, and the mitochondia are included.

AB
LeeuwenhoekInvented the first microscope.
HookeObserved a piece of cork and named the tiny chambers cells because that reminded him of small rooms called cells in a monastery.
SchleidenStated that all plants are made up of cells.
VirchowStated that all cells arise from the division of other cells.
BrownSaw the dark structure in the center of each cell. (AKA nucleus)
SchwannStated that all animals are made up of cells.
DujardinStated that many microorganisms are made up of one cell.
Cell theory 1st states:All living things are made up of cells
Cell theory 2nd states:Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
Cell theory 3rd states:All cells come from preexisting cells.
Cell membraneAKA plasma membrane, found in both plants and animal cells. Controls what can enter and leave the cell. They are semi-permeable.
Selectively permeableAKA semi-permeable- Allows only certain things to pass through.
MitochondriaAKA Power house(power plant, generator)- Produces energy by cellular respiration.(food changed into energy).
Golgi ApperatusAKA Packaging plant- Packs protein for distribution.
Cell WallGives support and shape to cell.
ChloroplastsManufacture food in the cell by photosynthesis.
ChromosomesContain the code that controls the cell and they transmit heredity characteristics.
CytoplasmJellylike material where chemical reactions take place within the cell.
Endoplasmic ReticulumSynthesizes enzymes involved in the process of respiration.
Nuclear MembraneAllows certain substances to pass between the nucleus and the rest of the cell.
NucleusControls cell activities.
RibosomesProduce protein within the cell.
VacuoleStores water and other substances.
