- Robert Hooke - discovered cells in 1665. With the use of a microscope
- Felix Dujardin - French Biologist who discovered cells in wood, leaves, and roots on the year 1835
- Matthias Jakob Schleiden - A German biologist that proposed the hypothesis that all plants are made up of cells in the year 1838
- Theodor Schwann - A German Zoologist who extended his hypothesis by proposing that all animals are made up of cells. He also proposed the life processes of all organisms began with cells.
- Rudolf Virchow - He provided evidence that cells reproduce to form new cells. He found cells in bone and connective tissue.
- The cell is a structural and functional unit of life. It is also known as the Building Blocks of Life.
- The cell is made up of two third of a cell, and the rest is a mixture of lipids, carbohydrates, and protein
- Cell wall - A non living component. Provides mechanical support and maintains shape in plant cells.
- Chloroplast - It converts solar energy into chemical energy in process called photosynthesis. Also known as “Power generator of the cell”
- Cytoplasm - The complex fluid that fills the cell. It is the matrix of different organelles
- Exoplasm - outer cytoplasm that’s gel-like
- Sol-like - Inner cytoplasm that is fluid
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - Serves as site for lipid synthesis
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - abundant in growing cells
- Endoplasmic Reticulum - A network of channels. Transport network for molecules that enter the cell. Plays an important role in skeletal framework and protein synthesis
- Golgi Apparatus - consists of stacks of single membranes. Sorts, packages, and modifies protein.
- Lysosome - A single membrane compartment that contains powerful hydrolytic enzymes. Also known as the “Garbage collector“ or “Suicide bag” of the cell. It simplifies/breaks down complex materials.
- Mitochondrion - A double-membrane structure. It is referred to as “The power house of the cell. It provides energy for the cell in the form of ATP.
- Nucleus - The control center or “brain” of the cell; directs and coordinates all cellular activities. (spherical body)
- DNA - Deoxyribonucleic Acid
- RNA - Ribonucleic Acid
- ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate
