Cell: The unit of life.
Before the first
microscope was
invented around 360
years ago, People
were not aware of
living world that was
not visible to the
naked eye.
Many Scientists
were observing and
describing
unknown world
with the help of
Microscopes
Among them the
most important
scientists
mentioned are. . .
Athanasius Kircher
1601-1680
Zacharias Janssen

Discovery of the cell
Robert Hooke in the
year 1665 observed
thin slices of cork
under a simple
magnifying device
he designed.
Discovery of the cell
He observed that
the cork
resembled the
structure of
honey comb
consisting many
empty box like
cavities - Cells.
A significant observation
In 1831 Robert
Brown noticed a
near- circular spot
slightly more
opaque than the
surrounding
areas.
A significant observation
Robert Brown claimed that this
structure was an integral part of
the cell and called nucleus.
The Modern Cell Theory
consists of three
statements based on
large body of scientific
research. The orginal
work was done by
Schleiden, Schwan and
Virchow
1. The cell is the fundamental unit of
structure and function in living things.
2. All living things are composed of cells.
3. Cells come from pre existing cells.
Cell is a functional
and Structural
Unit of Life
Each cell is a membrane bound
body that contain all chemical
molecules that help support
organisms life.
Cell is composed of
various parts.
Cell is made up of 3
basic components
1. Plasma membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Cytoplasm.
Plasma membrane is
the outer most covering
of the cell separates it
contents from external
environment.
Plasma membrane is
semi permeable
membrane and made up
of fats and proteins.
Nucleus is the control
centre of the cell and
has a double layered
covering called nuclear
membrane
Nucleus contains
genetic material
(Chromosomes)
Which will have DNA
Cell the basic unit of life
* Nucleus
* Membrane bound organelle
* Cytoskeleton
* Complex
* No Nucleus
* No Membrane bound Organelle
* No Cytoskeleton
* Simple
. Cytoplasm
• DNA
• Plasma
Membrane
Eukaryotic Cell Prokaryotic Cell
Cytoplasm is the fluid
substance that fill the
cell and contain various
organelle for various
functions.
There are cells without
nucleus they are called
Prokaryotic cells. They
do have Nucleoid
Cells with prominent
nucleus are called
Eukaryotic cells.
