Discovery of Cell

Robert Hooke discovered cells in cork in 1665. Leeuwenhoek discovered


microorganisms. Important: Microscope helps to see tiny organisms.
Plant Cell

Plant cells have: - Cell wall - Chloroplast - Large vacuole Diagram: [Cell wall] |
Chloroplast | | Vacuole | | Nucleus |
Animal Cell

Animal cells do not have cell wall. They have smaller vacuoles. Diagram: Oval
shape Nucleus in center
Microorganisms

Microorganisms are very small living organisms. Types: - Bacteria - Fungi -


Protozoa - Algae Diagram: Bacteria: rod Amoeba: irregular
Uses of Microorganisms

1. Making curd (Lactobacillus) 2. Bread making (Yeast) 3. Decomposition Diagram:


Food waste ---> microbes ---> manure
Harmful Effects

Some microorganisms cause diseases. They spoil food. Example: - Bacteria -


Viruses
Levels of Organization

Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ system → Organism Diagram: Cell → Tissue →


Organ → Body
Conclusion

Cells are basic unit of life. Microorganisms are everywhere and play important role.
