    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)

    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.
