It is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
Cell
Who examined the corks of plants and observed tiny boxes which described as like the rooms in the monastery and called them cells?
Robert Hooke (1665)
Who is the proponent of Microbiology and Bacteriology and discovered the protozoan, red blood cell, and the capillary system?
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (1674)
Who is a botanist and the one who discovered the nucleus?
Robert Brown (1883)
Who is a biologist and the one who discovered the protoplasm?
Dujardin (1835)
Who is a botanist and the one who proposed that plants are composed of cells and made the plant cell theory?
Matthias Schleiden (1838)
Who is a German biologist and the one who proposed that all living things are composed of cells and made the animal cell theory?
Theodor Schwann (1839)
Who is a German pathologist and the one who proposed that all cells come from pre-existing cells?
Rudolf Virchow (1858)
Who are the engineers and scientists who built the first transmission electron microscope (TEM)?
Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll
Who are the biochemists and biophysicists who made the helix formation (DNA)?
James Watson and Francis Crick
It is composed of "true" nucleus and membrane-bound organelles classified as multicellular organisms such as plants and animals.
Eukaryotic cell
It is composed of "false" nucleus and non-membrane bound organelles that are classified as unicellular (single) organisms such as bacteria.
Prokaryotic cell
It is the study of the cell that is composed of 3 main parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm, and the nucleus.
Cytology
What is also called a plasma membrane that separates the cell from its external environment for protection?
Cell membrane
What is found in plant cells and not in animal cells that gives support and strength?
Cell wall
What is also called a protoplasm which is the intracellular environment of a cell and contains the organelles?
Cytoplasm
What is the formation of spindle fibers which are essential in cell division and are only present in animal cells?
Centrioles
What houses the centrioles?
Centrosome
What is the circulatory system of a cell?
Endoplasmic reticulum
It is lined with ribosomes that are for distribution of proteins.
Rough ER
It is for the transportation of other materials, such as carbohydrates and lipids.
Smooth ER
What is the packaging plant and secretory vesicle of the cell as it collects materials from different organelles and disposes of them via secretory vesicles which are formed at the cell membrane?
Golgi apparatus
What is also known as suicide sacs that secrete lysozymes for digestion?
Lysosomes
What is the powerhouse of the cell that is responsible for the production of ATP, as the energy source?
Mitochondria
What are the spherical bodies for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes
What is the storage of materials such as food and water in a cell?
Vacuole
What is also known as a cell skeleton that is a complex network of interlinking filaments or tubules?
Cytoskeleton
It is for the cell movement and cytokinesis where contractile is made of actin.
Microfilaments
It is rigid, hollow tubes made of tubulin that maintain cell shapes and form the centrioles (spindle fibers).
Microtubules
It provides strength and support in the cell skeleton.
Intermediate filaments
What is a part of the cell for cell movement?
Cilia and Flagella
What is mostly found in plants which are the colored substances within the cells that give color to the organisms?
Plastids
It contains chlorophyll or other pigments and materials.
Chromoplast
It is a colorless plastid or white.
Leucoplast
What is the 70% of the cytoplasm that is a mixture of cytoskeleton filaments?
Cytosol
What is considered as the brain of the cell?
Nucleus
It is the cytoplasm inside the nucleus.
Nucleoplasm
It is the double membrane with many pores that control the movement of material in and out of the nucleus.
Nuclear envelope
It is inside the nucleus that contains the genetic materials (DNA) which have the hereditary that contains instructions for traits and characteristics and a spherical body called the nucleolus.
Chromosomes
It is where the production of ribosomes takes place.
