A8 Cell Unit of Life

Rudolf Virchow first proposed the concept that cells come from preexisting cells. Robert Hooke discovered the first live cell in 1665 using a microscope to observe a thin slice of cork. Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms and can have different shapes depending on their function. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Key organelles include the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, plastids, ribosomes, and cytoskeleton.

CELL

Rudolf Virchow First live cell discovered by Discovered by Robert Hooke


CELL ORGANELLES
gave the concept Anton Von Leeuwenhoek in 1665 ( in thin slice of cork )
of omnis cellula-e-cellula
Cell membrane Model given by Singer &
Nicolson (fluid mosaic model); cell membrane
is Selectively permeable.

Cell Wall Gives shape to the cell, found in


Structural & functional unit of all DIFFERENT SHAPES OF CELLS
fungi & plants. living organisms • Red blood cells (Round & biconcave )
• White blood cells (Amoeboid)
Middle lamella Hold neighboring cells
together, made of calcium pectate • Columnar epithelial cells (Long & narrow )
• Nerve cells (Branched & long )
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Network of tiny
tubular structures scattered in cytoplasm ; PROKARYOTIC CELLS EUKARYOTIC CELLS • A tracheid (Elongated)
ER can be Smooth ER without ribosomes & (Lack Nucleus) (Nucleus is Present) • Mesophyll cells (Round & Oval )
Rough ER with ribosomes, RER involved in
protein synthesis, SER is major site
for synthesis of lipids.

Golgi apparatus First observed by Camillo


Golgi - consists of flat, disc shaped sacs or PLANT CELL ANIMAL CELL
cisternae ; cisternae arranged near the
nucleus with distinct convex (cis) or forming
face concave (trans) or maturing face.

Lysosomes - Membrane Bound vesides filled


with hydrolytic enzymes (hydrolases, lipases).

Vacuoles - membrane Bound space filled with


water, sap & excretory products.

Mitochondria is double membrane Layered
