  • Cell
    Fundamental unit of life
  • The term cell originates from the latin word "cellula" meaning "small room"
  • Cell theory
    All organism are made of cell
    Cell is the basic unit of life
    Cell comes from pre-existing cells
  • Modern Cell theory
    Energy flows occur within cell
    Heredity information is passed on from cell to cell
    All cells have the same basic chemical composition
  • Unicellular
    organism consist of a single cell that performs all necessary life function
  • Multicellular
    organism are composed of multiple cell
  • Two types of cell
    Prokaryotic
    Eukaryotic
  • Prokaryotes
    Cell that lack a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
  • Eukaryotes
    Cells that have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
  • Robert Hooke
    credited with the discovery of cells, while examining a thin slice of cork
  • Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
    Father of microbiology
  • Anto Van Leeuwenhoek
    observation include detailed description of bacteria from his own teeth, and sperm cell
  • Matthias Schleiden
    he proposed that all plants are composed of cell
  • Theodor Schwann
    proposed that all animal tissues are also made of cells
  • Rudolf Virchow
    credited with completing cell theory by adding "omnis cellula a cellula"
  • Cell membrane
    also known as the plasma membrane
  • Cell membrane
    it acts as barrier, it control movement in and out of the cell
  • Phospholipid
    head contain glycerol and phospate (hydrophilic)
    Tail made of fatty acid (hydrophobic)
  • Cell wall
    protective layer that surrounds the cell membrane
  • Cell wall in plants
    cellulose
  • cell wall in bacteria
    peptidoglycan
  • cell wall in fungi
    chitin
  • nucleus
    control center of the cell
  • Nucleus houses the cell genetic in the form of chromosomes
  • Nuclear membrane
    double-layered that surrounds the nucleus
  • Chromosomes
    The blueprint of life
  • Chromosomes
    thread-like , they are essentially packages of DNA
  • Nucleolus
    responsible for the synthesis and assembly of ribosomes
  • Cytoplasm
    gel-like substances
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum
    vast network of interconnected membranes that extends throughout the cytoplasm
  • Ribosomes
    Tiny cellular machines found in all living cells
  • Mitochondria
    powerhouse of the cell
  • Golgi Bodes
    plays crucial role in processing, packaging, and transporting proteins and lipids
  • Lysosome
    also know as "recycling centers"
  • Vacuoles
    essentially enclosed compartment filled with water
  • Cytoskeleton
    it provides structural support
  • Microtubules
    responsible for maintaining the shape, and providing tracks for transport
  • Microfilaments
    involved in cell movements muscle contraction, and cytokinesis
  • Centrioles
    it plays crucial role in cell division
  • Chloroplast
    responsible in process of photosynthesis
