  1. Discovering Cells Cells and Heredity Chapter 1 Lesson 1

  2. What are Cells • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things • Structure • Describe what it is made of and how its parts are put together • Function • Processes that enable it to live, grow, and reproduce

  3. Cell Theory • Widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things • All living things are composed of cells • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things • All cells are produced from other cells

  4. Cell Theory-Timeline • Robert Hooke (1663) • first to see cells (dead; cork) • Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1674) • First to see living cells • Matthias Schleiden (1838) • Concluded all plants are made of cells • Theodor Schwann (1838) • Concluded all animals are made of cells • Rudolf Virchow (1855) • All cells come from other cells

  5. Microscopes: Magnification and Lenses • Microscopes • Compound light microscope • Focus light through lenses to produce a magnified image • Magnification • Things appearing larger than they are • If light does not reach the lens (pass through the object) you will not see anything

  6. Microscopes: Measuring microscopic objects • Resolution • Helps you see details of an objects structure

  7. Electron microscopes • Electron microscope • Use beams of electrons to produce a magnified image • Better magnification and resolution
