Prepared by: Tr. Ma. Mercedes A. Balabbo

LESSON OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the discussion, students should be able to:
• define the word cell;

• list the different postulates of cell theory;
• explain each postulates of cell theory; and
• relate learned concepts in real life situation.
GUESS THE RIDDLE
You can't spell the word
sexy without this pair of
sex chromosomes.

ANSWER:
XY
CELL BIOLOGY
• Cell biology is the subdiscipline of biology that studies the

basic unit of life, the cell.
• It deals with all aspects of the cell including cell anatomy,
cell division (mitosis and meiosis), and cell processes
including cell respiration, and cell death.
THE MICROSCOPE
• 1590
• Two Dutch spectacle-makers and
father-and-son team, Hans and
Zacharias Janssen, create the first
microscope.
THE MICROSCOPE
HISTORY OF CELL
BIOLOGY
• First cells seen in cork
- The cell was first discovered and
named by Robert Hooke in 1665. He
remarked that it looked strangely similar to
cellula or small rooms which monks
inhabited, thus deriving the name.
CELL THEORY: LESSON 1

HISTORY OF CELL
BIOLOGY
• The first man to witness a live cell
under a microscope was Antonie van
Leeuwenhoek, who in 1674 described
the algae Spirogyra.
• Van Leeuwenhoek probably also saw
bacteria.

MAJOR EVENTS IN CELL BIOLOGY
• 1655 - Robert Hooke gives first description of a cork tree
cell.
• 1674 - Leeuwenhoek views protozoa.
• 1683 - Leeuwenhoek views bacteria.
• 1831 - Robert Brown was first to identify the nucleus as an
important cell component.
• 1838 - Schleiden and Schwann introduce what would
become the Cell Theory.
• 1857 - Kolliker describes mitochondria.

• 1869 - Miescher isolates DNA for the first time.
• 1882 - Kock identifies bacteria.
• 1898 - Golgi discovers the Golgi apparatus.
• 1931 - Ruska builds the first Transmission Electron
Microscope.
• 1953 - Watson and Crick propose structure of DNA double-
helix.
• 1965 - First commercial Scanning Electron Microscope
produced.

• 1997 - First sheep cloned.
• 1998 - Mice cloned.
• 2003 - Human genome DNA sequence draft completed.
• 2006 - Adult mouse skin cells reprogrammed into induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPS).
• 2010 - Neurons, cardiac muscle, and blood cells created
directly from reprogrammed adult cells.

THE CELL
• In biology, the smallest unit that can live on its
own and that makes up all living organisms and
the tissues of the body.

THE CELL
THEORY
CELL THEORY
• The scientific theory that all living

organisms are made of cells as the
smallest functional unit.
CELL THEORY: LESOSN 1

PROPONENTS OF CELL THEORY
Matthias Theodor Rudolf Virchow

Schleiden Schwann
• He used the theory that
• In 1838 Schleiden • Schwann defined all cells arise from pre-
defined the cell as the cell as the existing cells to lay the
the basic unit of basic unit of groundwork for cellular
plant structure. animal structure. pathology, or the study
of disease at the cellular
level.
POSTULATES OF CELL THEORY
• All living organisms are composed of cells.
• All cells are basically alike in structure and
functions.
• The function of an organism as a whole is the
result of the activities and interactions of
constituents of the cell.

• In the year 1858 scientist Rudolf Virchow presented
the idea ‘Omnis Cellula e Cellula’, which means that all
living cells arise from pre-existing cells.
• After addition of this postulate in the cell theory, it was
called Modern Cell Theory.

MODERN CELL
THEORY
• All living things are composed of one or more cells;
• The cell is the basic unit of life; and
• New cells arise from existing cells (‘Omnis Cellula e
Cellula’).

LESSON RECAP
• Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.
• The cell theory states that all biological organisms are composed of cells;
cells are the unit of life and all life come from preexisting life.
• (1)All living organisms are composed of one or more cells; (2)The cell is the
basic unit of structure and organization in organisms; (3)Cells arise from
pre-existing cells.
• The word cell was first used by Robert Hooke.
• Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, Rudolf Virchow.
