HistoryCells were unknown until the discovery of microscopes in the 1650’s
two scientists working independently built the first microscopes
Anton von Leeuwenhoek in Holland
Robert Hooke in England
![Page 4: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Leeuwenhoek
Studied pond water, sour milk, and semen
named moving organisms “animalcules”
scared people and caused a sensation
![Page 5: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Leeuwenhoek’s drawings of “animalcules” set off a flurry of amateur and sometimes ridiculous claims, such as:
- pond water animalcules causing madness!
![Page 6: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
and...
Human sperm cells contain tiny human beings!
Today we can look back and think “crazy,” but at the time people took these ideas very seriously.
![Page 7: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hooke
Studied cork - a kind of tree bark
named the structures he saw “cells” because they reminded him of the small rooms monks slept in.

Definition of Cell
• A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
• A cell is the basic unit of life.

The Cell TheoryThe cell theory has three parts:
All living things contain at least one cell
Cells are the smallest working units of all living things.
Cells can only come from pre-existing cells through cell division (meiosis)
![Page 11: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The cell theory-a closer look
All living things contain at least one cell
Many scientists working after Hooke and Leeuwenhoek observed different plants and animals
Each of them noted that no matter what they observed, if it was alive it had cells.
![Page 12: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cells are the smallest working units of all living things.
Scientists (Theodor Schawnn &Matthias Schleiden) quickly realized that when cells were dissected or broken open they died
This meant that whatever “life” is, it is something that happens inside cells
![Page 13: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cells can only come from pre-existing cells through cell division
does not answer the question of where the first cell came from or how it came to be.
has not been disproved yet- no scientist has ever built a living cell from nonliving organic molecules
![Page 14: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Spontaneous Generation
From pre-historic times to about 1850, most people believed that under the right conditions, living things could spontaneously appear from non-living material.
![Page 15: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
People throughout the Middle Ages
believed that mice could be “created” spontaneously by putting grain in dark, quiet place
and leaving it for a few weeks.
![Page 16: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The discovery of cells only confused people more- If cells are alive, then where do they come from?
Can these almost invisible things appear spontaneously from the air?
![Page 17: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Francesco RediBorn 1626 in Italy
First to challenge the idea of spontaneous generation
Did not accept the common belief that flies magically appeared from rotting meat
![Page 18: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Redi’s Experiment
IV=cover
DV=presence of flies
Hypothesis: If a jar containing rotting meat is covered, then it will produce no flies
![Page 19: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Redi’s Conclusions
Flies lay eggs, which grow into maggots, which metamorphose into flies
If flies can’t lay eggs, then no new flies can grow
Fly eggs
![Page 20: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Objections to RediMany people rejected Redi’s claim that flies do not spontaneously generate
Their reasoning:
“sealing the jar closed prevented a magical essence from entering the rotting meat and brining it to life”
“Scientists seek only to challenge belief systems and stir things up”
![Page 21: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1729. Italian
Believed microbes that spoil food come from the air and can be killed by boiling
IV= air, DV=food spoilage
Hypothesis: If air is allowed to reach food, then microbes will get in and cause it to spoil
Lazzaro Spallanzani
![Page 22: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Spallanzani’s Experiment
Flask 1: boiled broth, open
Flask 2: boiled broth, sealed shut
Results
Flask 1 spoiled
Flask 2 did not spoil
![Page 23: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Objections to Spallanzani
Sealing the flask shut blocked the entrance of a magical life force in the air from getting to the broth.
Since few people had seen these microbes, few people believed him.
![Page 24: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Louis Pasteur1822. France
Supported that spontaneous generation is a myth
Invented pasteurization (sterilization by heat)
![Page 25: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pasteur’s Experiment
An improvement on Spallanzani’s work
Used special “swan-neck flasks” that allowed air in but kept bacteria out
IV= bacteria, DV=spoiling broth
Hypothesis; If boiled broth is kept free of bacteria, then it will not spoil even if air can reach it.
![Page 26: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The curved neck allows air in but traps bacteria-carrying dust and dirt
particles
![Page 27: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Spontaneous generation is dead!
Redi didn’t believe in it, and did an experiment using flies
Spallanzani didn’t believe in it, and experimented with broth
Pasteur disproved it conclusively with his open-air yet spoilage free flasks.
![Page 28: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pasteur is the father of modern microbiologysupported the last part of the cell theory: cells only come from pre-existing cells
identified yeasts as the microbes that change grape juice into wine
showed that heat can be used to sterilize foods and preserve them in sealed glass containers, and later cans.
![Page 29: All about cells](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55b924c3bb61eb02108b4642/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The cell theory is one of the most important theories in biology.
All living things contain at least one cell
Cells are the smallest living units of matter
Cells can only come from pre-existing cells
