Biology 1
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
Specifically,
a. Outline the history of the development of cell theory from its
origin with Robert Hooke to the present
b. Describe how cell theory is an explanation for life
Activity 1
Timeline of events
The Wacky History of
the Cell Theory
General Biology 1
Early Microscopy and
Observations
Biology 1
• In 1838, Matthias Schleiden
determined that all living
plant tissue was composed
of cells and that each plant
arose from a single cell.
Development of the Cell Theory
Biology 1
• In 1839, Theodore Schwann
came to a similar conclusion
to animals.
Development of the Cell Theory
Biology 1
• Schleiden and
Schwann’s researches
became the bases of the
first two postulates of the
Cell Theory
Development of the Cell Theory
Biology 1
• In 1858, the cell theory was refined
by German pathologist Rudolf
Virchow, who concluded that “all
cells arise from cells” and that the
cell was the basic unit of life.
• This discovery was initially made
by Robert Remak in 1855 when he
tried to prove the idea of cell
division

Learning Objectives
Biology 1
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
composed of a double
layer of phospholipids
with proteins embedded
throughout
CYTOPLASM
enclosed within the cell
membrane is the
cytoplasm and contains
the semifluid substance
called the cytosol
Microfilament (7
nanometer )
Microtubules ( 25 nm)
Intermediate Filament
(10 nm) - the most
stable and least soluble
and provide tensile
strength
CENTRIOLES
Centrioles help in the
separation and movement
of the replicated genetic
materials called
chromosomes to opposite
poles.
NUCLEUS
Control center of the cell
Inside the nuclear envelope
is the nucleoplasm.
Within the nucleoplasm are
strands of chromatin, which
are combination of DNA
and proteins
NUCLEOLUS
Membrane-free organelle
found inside the nucleus
that contains fibrils and
granules.
RIBOSOMES
Small, dense structure
that help in the assembly
of proteins in the cell.
Not membrane-bound,
so they are not
organelles.
ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM (ER)
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum manufacture
secretory proteins such
as pancreatic cells.
ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM (ER)
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum has no
ribosomes attached
Produces ATP
(adenosine
triphosphate), the
energy currency of
the cell
Flagella and Cilia
Appendages
responsible for
locomotion of cells.
Flagella and Cilia
Composed of amino
acids and sugars
