Cell Theory Poster:
“The classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor
Schwann in 1839. There are three parts to this theory.
• The first part states that all organisms are made of
cells.
• The second part states that cells are the basic units of
life. These parts were based on a conclusion made by
Schwann and Matthias Schleiden in 1838, after
comparing their observations of plant and animal cells.
• The third part, which asserts that cells come from
preexisting cells that have multiplied, was described
by Rudolf Virchow in 1858, when he stated omnis
cellula e cellula (all cells come from cells).”

CELLS
The word cell has its origins in
Latin, and when translated, it
means “small room” and was
first observed by Robert Hooke
– an English natural
philosopher in the year 1665.
ORGANELLES
“Tiny organs” or “Mini-
organ” of the cell
A subcellular structure
that has one or more
specific jobs to perform in
the cell
2 Main Classes of Cell
(defined by whether they contain a
nucleus. )
• EUKARYOTES • PROKARYOTES
EUKARYOTE
•The term
“Eukaryotes” is
derived from the
Greek word “eu“,
(meaning: good) and
“karyon” (meaning:
kernel), therefore,
translating to “good
or true nuclei.”
•Cells that possess a
true nucleus along
with membrane-
PROKARYOT
ES
•The term
“prokaryote” is
derived from the
Greek word “pro“,
(meaning: before)
and “karyon”
(meaning: kernel). It
translates to
“before nuclei.“
•A primitive type of
cell that is
characterized by the
Parts of Animal Cell
Contains the cell's
genetic material
(DNA) and controls
the cell's activities
by regulating gene
expression; acts as
the command
center of the cell.
Nucleus
A structure within
the nucleus
responsible for
producing and
assembling
ribosome
components.
Nucleolus
Contains the
genetic blueprint
for the organism,
encoding
instructions for
protein synthesis
and cell function.
Nuclear DNA
A semi-permeable
membrane that
surrounds the cell,
providing protection
and structure, and
controlling the
movement of
substances in and out
of the cell.
Cell
membrane
Involved in cell
division; helps in
the formation of
spindle fibers
that separate
chromosomes
during mitosis.
Centriole
The jelly-like
fluid inside the
cell that holds
the organelles
and is the site of
many metabolic
reactions.
Cytosol/
Cytoplasm
A network of
fibers that
provides
structural support
for the cell, aids in
cell movement,
and helps
transport
Cytoskele
materials within
ton
the cell.
Modifies, sorts,
and packages
proteins and
lipids for
storage or
transport out of
the cell.
Golgi complex /
Golgi apparatus
Contains
digestive
enzymes that
break down
waste
materials,
cellular debris,
and foreign
Lysosome
invaders like
bacteria.
Known as the
powerhouse of
the cell,
mitochondria
generate most of
the cell’s supply
of ATP (energy)
through cellular
respiration.
Mitochondrion
Contains enzymes
that break down
fatty acids and
amino acids and
detoxify certain
chemicals, producing
hydrogen peroxide
as a byproduct,
which is then
Peroxisome
converted to water.
Studded with
ribosomes and
involved in
protein
synthesis and
processing.
Rough ER
Lacks
ribosomes and
is involved in
lipid synthesis
and
detoxification
processes.
Smooth ER
Small structures
that are the site of
protein synthesis;
they can be found
floating freely
in the cytoplasm or
attached to the
endoplasmic
reticulum.
Ribosomes
Small membrane-
bound sacs that
transport and store
substances within
the cell and can also
aid in transporting
materials to and
from the cell
surface.
Vesicle
made up of
certain proteins
that help control
the movement of
food and water
into the cell.

Cell
membrane
It provide protection
and support for
plants. Unlike cell
membranes,
materials cannot get
through cell walls.
This would be a
problem for plant
cells if not for special
Cell wall
openings called
plasmodesmata
These openings are
used to communicate
and transport
materials between
plant cells because
the cell membranes
can touch and so can
exchange needed
Plasmodes
materials.
mata
A very large empty
space in the middle.
This space is called
the vacuole. It
contains large
amounts of water
and stores other
important materials
such as sugars, ions,
Vacuole
and pigments.
This is where the
photosynthesis takes
place. In this organelle,
light energy from the sun
is converted into
chemical energy. It can
be found mostly in plant
cells. It contain tiny
pigments called
chlorophylls. Chlorophylls
are responsible for

trapping light energy
