(BIO) Cell: Scientists, Theories, Parts & Functions

This has the DNA and directs the ribosomes and proteins

Distributes lipids and proteins

Maintains cell's shape, secure organelles on specific positions

Invented the 1st compound microscope in the late 16th century

The first to observe live cells, also the Father of Biology

Location of the DNA

Protection, structural support, maintenance of cell shape

Latin word of CELL, which means "Little Rooms"

Theory: states that the cell serves as the structural, physiological, systematic, and organizational unit of life

All organisms are composed of one or more cells

These are single-celled organisms

Separates cell from the external environment

He stated that cells are the fundamental units of animals.

Where proteins synthesizes

The hair-like strands on the exterior of the cell membrane

Discovered Cells from a piece of cork

Where photosynthesis happens

Ables cellular locomotion

Cells do not come from pre-existing cells

He stated that new cells come from already existing cells

Unspecified role in cell division; organizing center of microtubules

The cell is an organism's basic unit pf structure and function

Powerhouse of the cell

These are multi-cellular cells that contain a nucleus

He stated that cells are the building blocks of all plants.

Provides structure to cell; site of many metabolic reactions

Breaks down fatty and amino acids, detoxification of poisons

Digestion of macromolecules; recycling or worn-out organelles

Modifies proteins, synthesizes lipids

Storage & transport; digestive function in plant cells
