1Robert Hooke
Known for: Discovering cells in 1665. How did he discover them? He used a piece of cork under a microscope. He named them "cells" since it looked like a monk cell or a monk live.
2Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
Job worked with fabrics, sowed linens and used a scope to see his fabric closely
Refined the microscope: High quality lens allowed 270X (instead of just 20-30X)
1673: Discovered "protozoa" (bacteria). the single celled organisms and he called them “animalcules”
Important: He created the first microscope. Discovered "protozoa" (bacteria) called them "animalcules".
3Scleiden
1838: Discovered all plants have cells
4Schwann
1838: Discovered all animals have cells
5Virchow
1855: Discovered all living things come from preexisting cells.
6Cell Theory
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of life
3. Cells come from pre-existing cells
7Cell membrane
Protective Layer; controls movement in the cell
8Nucleus
"Brain" of the cell - controls all cell activities and contains the genetic information, the DNA
9Endoplasmic Reticulum
Where proteins are produced and proteins and other materials can move around the cell.
10Ribosomes
Make proteins that all cells need
11Lysosome
Breaks down food particles and gets rid of waste
12Vacuoles
Stores materials needed (food, water)
13Golgi
Body: modifies packages, and transports proteins.
14Cell Wall in plant cells
Protective layer that gives shape, support, and protection to plant cells.
15Cholorplast in plant cells
Traps sunlight for photosynthesis.

makes plants green
