Cell Discovery & Cell Theory Presented by: Joevani S. Peñol
What is a Cell?
Cell The structural and functional unit of all living organism.
History The study of cells started about three hundred years ago. With the help of one powerful instrument the cell was begin to be known to humans.
Cell Discovery The scientist who have contributed to the discovery of the cell: Hans and Zacharias Jansen Robert Hooke Matthias Schleiden Theodor Schwann Robert Brown
Anton van Leeuwenhoek Rudolph Virchow
Chronological Arrangement of Scientist and their Contributions
1595 Hans and Zacharias Jansen Credited for the production of lenses.
1665 Robert Hooke English Scientist. Coined the term “CELL” He found it in a cork. Inventor of the compound microscope.
Cork Oak Tree
Cell Wall of a Cork Cell
1674 Anton van Leeuwenhoek Dutch Businessman. Described cells in a drop of pond water that he called “animalcules”. “Father of Ancient Microbiology”
1833 Robert Brown English botanist, discovered the nucleus in plant cells(orchid).
Plant Cells
1838 Matthias Jakob Schleiden German botanist, concluded the all plant tissues are composed of cells.
1839 Theodor Schwann German zoologist, concluded that all animal tissues are composed of cells. Proposed the cell theory
1858 Rudolph Virchow Completed the cell theory by expounding his famous conclusion “ omnis cellula e cellula ” or cells develop from pre-existing cells.
Cell Theory According to Schwann 1 ) The cell is the unit of structure, physiology, and organization in living things. 2 ) The cell retains a dual existence as a distinct entity and a building block in the construction of organisms.
Continued… 3) Cells form by free-cell formation, similar to the formation of crystals (spontaneous generation).
Spontaneous Generation The hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter.
Francesco Redi
Redi’s Experiment the Disprove Spontaneous Generation
Revised Cell Theory 1. all known living things are made up of cells. 2 . the cell is structural & functional unit of all living things. 3 . all cells come from pre-existing cells by division. ( Spontaneous Generation does not occur).
