Hans and Zacharias Janssen (father and son), late 16th century
- Dutch spectacle makers, inventors of the first microscope (simple, and compound). - Also associated with the invention of the first telescope.
simple (single-lens) microscope
![Page 3: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Robert Hooke (1635-1702)
- observed cork under the microscope
- used the word CELLS for the first time, to describe the tiny, empty chambers he saw.
![Page 4: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723)
- Dutch cloth merchant.
- “father of microbiology: he used a simple microscope to observe pond water... and discoverd a whole new world of living microorganisms!
- he was the first one to observe living cells, among them: bacteria, sperm cells, blood cells, protozoa...
![Page 5: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Robert Brown (1773-1858)
- he discovered the cell nucleus, in plant cells.
![Page 6: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Matthias Jakob Schleiden (1804-1881)
- German botanist.
- Observed plants under the microscope, and concluded:
“All plants are made of cells” (1838)
![Page 7: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Friedrich Theodor Schwann 1810-1882)
- German physiologist and anatomist.
- He studied animal tissues under the microscope, and concluded:
“All animals are made of cells” (1839)
![Page 8: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rudolf Carl Virchow (1821-1902)
- German doctor and pathologist.
- He studied cell reproduction andconcluded:
“All cells come from pre-existing cells”(1858)
Louis Pasteur refuted one year later for good the “Spontaneus Generation”
![Page 9: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The CELL THEORY is the result of the discoveries of Schleiden, Schwann and Virchow, and consists on 3 principles:
ALL ORGANISMS ARE MADE OF CELLS
THE CELL IS THE BASIC UNIT OF LIFE IN ALL LIVING THINGS (structural and functional unit)
ALL CELLS COME FROM THE DIVISION OF PRE-EXISTING CELLS
![Page 10: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934)

- He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine

Extensions of the cell membrane that are able to move.
They have the same structure, but cillia are shorter and more numerous
than flagella.
They allow the cells to move (protozoa, sperm cells...); they also help the
cell to capture nutrients from the environment, and move the liquids on the
surface of the cells (respiratory epithelia)
![Page 48: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

![Page 49: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Cells need to exchage substances with their environment, in order to get
materials for nutrition and remove wastes.
This exchage can be:
PASSIVE:
ACTIVE:
does NOT require ENERGY
down a gradient (high to low)
requires ENERGY
up a gradient (low to high)
![Page 50: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Passive Transport (I): DIFFUSIONSmall molecules like gases (O
2, CO
2), water, nutrients move through
the cell membrane from the area of higher concentration to the area
of lower concentration, until the gradient disappears (concentration
equals)
Permeable to the solute
![Page 51: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Passive Transport (II): FACILITATED DIFFUSIONSome molecules need the help of a carrier, a protein in the cell
membrane, to enter or exit the cell.
![Page 52: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Passive Transport (III): OSMOSISSpecial term used for the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable cell
membrane (= only allows the solvent -water – to go through it)
Water moves frome the HYPOTONIC solution to the HYPERTONIC
solution.
Semi-permeable membrane
![Page 53: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

ACTIVE TRANSPORTMovement occurs against the concentration
gradient (from low to high concentration)
A carrier protein in the membrane is required, as
well as energy.
![Page 57: Unit1 the cell](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052303/5549c458b4c90564768b5725/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
ENDOCYTOSIS / EXOCYTOSIS Transport of large particles through the cell membrane, using vesicles.
and requiring energy.
EXOCYTOSIS: waste products are placed in vesicles that then fuse
with the cell membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.
ENDOCYTOSIS: the cell membrane engulfs a large molecule outside
the cell and releases it inside. There are two types of endocytosis:
PHAGOCYTOSIS: the cell takes solid food particles.
PINOCYTOSIS: the cell takes nutrients dissolved in fluids.
