6
In 1665 first person to view cork under microscope and sees "little rooms" that he calls cells.
Robert Hooke
7
He was the first to use a stronger microscope and viewed human blood cells and bacteria.

Cell Theory
Created by Schwann & Schleiden
1- All organisms consist of one or more cells
2- Cells are the basic unit of life for all living things
3- Cells come from other pre-existing cells
10
-skin of cell
- physical boundary between insides and environment outside
- controls what enters and exits
Cell Membrane
-water substance with cytosol (H2O, enzymes & more)
- holds material inside cell
Cytoplasm
Deoxyribonucleic acid
genetic instructions to make protein
Animal - enclosed in nucleus
Bacteria - free floating
DNA
- where protein is made
- Bacteria - free floating
-Animal - some free and some enclosed
Ribosomes
All cells whether Animal or Bacteria have the following:
11
No nucleus or organelles
DNA free floating
Prokaryotic
Has nucleus, DNA and organelles
Eukaryotic
12
-Simpler and Smaller
- Made of ONE cell - Unicellular
- DNA in cytoplasm
- Cell wall - outside membrane and gives shape and protects
-flagella & cillia - used to move
- Reproduce - divide in half
Prokaryotic
13
NUCLEUS
CYTOPLASM
ORGANELLES
CELL MEMBRANE
14
- larger and more complex
- made of multiple cells
- protists, fungi plants & animals
-cell membrane
-nucleus
-organelles
-cytoplasm
-cells look different depending on their job
Eukaryotic
15
Carry messages from one cell to another cell and have long arm like extensions
Nerve Cells
Carry oxygen to other cells
Look like flat disc so have more surface to transfer oxygen
Red Blood Cells
Long tail to swim and join egg cell
Sperm
Pollinate flowers and plants
Spikes or rough surface to stick to insects like bees
Pollen Cells
Specialized Cells
