  1. Cell Biology

  2. Chapter Seven: Cell Structure and Function • 7.1 What Are Cells? • 7.2 Cells- A Look Inside

  3. Investigation 7A Examining Onion Tissue • What is onion tissue made of?

  4. 7.1 What are cells? • A cell is the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing. • Your body is composed of billions of cells.

  5. 7.1 What are cells? • You have nerve cells, skin cells, muscle cells, blood cells, and many other types as well. These are some of the types of cells found in your blood.

  6. 7.1 What are cells? • Each cell in your body shares the characteristics of all living things.

  7. 7.1 Finding out about cells • English scientist Robert Hooke (1635–1703) was the first to record his observations of cells. • In 1663, he took a thin slice of cork and placed it under a microscope that he built himself.

  8. 7.1 Finding out about cells • As microscopes improved, scientists made many discoveries. • A modern fluorescent microscope enables scientists to use glowing proteins to see tiny cell parts such as DNA in these mouse cells.

  9. 7.1 The cell theory • The work of Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow, and others led to an important theory in life science. • The cell theoryexplains the relationship between cells and living things.

  10. 7.1 Similarities among cells • In many-celled organisms like you, there are many different specializedcells. • All cells share certain common characteristics.

  11. 7.1 Similarities among cells • All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. • All cells contain organelles. • All cells contain cytoplasm. • All cells contain DNA.

  12. 7.1 Classifying cells • Prokaryotic cellsdo not have a nucleus. • Scientists believe that all life on Earth came from ancient cells of this type. • Only bacteria have this type of cell.

  13. 7.1 Classifying cells • Eukaryotic cellshave a nucleus and membrane-covered organelles. • They tend to be about ten times larger than prokaryotic cells. • Animals, plants, fungi, and protists all have eukaryotic cells.

  14. 7.1 Comparing cell types
