through carefully crafted empirical
experiments would enable scientists to
better analyze and understand the
relationships in the physical world.
Inquiry Questions
Factual: What role does science play in
the study of life?
Unit 7 Cell Structure and Function 1
, Conceptual: How do we find explanations
for events in the natural world?
Debatable: What are the limits of
scientific understanding?
7.1 Life is Cellular
Lesson Objectives
State the cell theory
Describe how the different types of microscopes work
Distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Cell Theory
The scientific theory describing cells, e.g. the cell as the basic unit of living organisms,
and that all cells arise only from pre-existing, living cells
All living things are made up of one or more cells.
The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living things; Cells are the basic
unit of life.
Cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of division.
Unit 7 Cell Structure and Function 2
, Theodor Schwann: all
animals are made of
Matthias Jakob Schleiden Rudolf Virchow: all cells
cells
(Botanist): all plants are come from pre-existing
made of cells cells
Modern Cell Theory
Cells carry genetic material during cell division
All cells of the same species are the same in regard to chemical composition.
Energy flow occurs in cells
What invention best helped scientists to develop the cell theory?
A: Microscopes
Anton van Leeuwenhoek’s microscope was 300x more magnified than Robert Hooke’s
