Robert Hooke
In 1665, he used a microscope to examine a thin slice of cork.
Hans and Zacharias Janssen
During the 1590s, they invented the compound microscope.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
In 1674, he became the first man to witness a live cell under a microscope.
Matthias Schleiden
He is a German botanist who, in 1839, showed that the development of all vegetable tissues comes from the activity of cells.
Theodor Schwann
In the same year, this German physiologist proposed that in animals too, every structural element is composed of cells and cell products.
Rudolf Virchow
In 1855, this German pathologist coined the phrase “Omnis cellula e cellular” meaning cells originate from cells.
Cell Wall
It is the covering of the plant cell which is present only in plants.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
It is a series of interconnected membranous sacs and tubules within the cytoplasm that collectively modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
It is rough due to the ribosomes attached to the membrane.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Its function includes the synthesis of carbohydrates, lipids, and steroid hormones.
Cytoplasm
It is the entire region of the cell between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope.
Cytosol
The fluid portion of the cytoplasm is called _______.
Ribosomes
It appears either as clusters or single, tiny dots that float freely in the cytoplasm.
Golgi Body/Apparatus
Sorting, tagging, packaging, and distribution of lipids and proteins destined to leave the cell and for use within the cell takes place in _______.
Camillo Golgi
The Golgi Body/Apparatus were named for _______, an Italian physician who first identified them.
Lysosome
It is also called the suicidal bag of cells which can only be found in animal cells.
Peroxisome
It carries out enzymes that involve oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids.
Mitochondria
It is the powerhouse of the cell or energy factories because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
It produced through cellular respiration using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients.
Chloroplast
It contains the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll that gives most plants the green color that they use in photosynthesis.
Grana
Chloroplast have closed compartments of stacked membranes called _______ which lie inside the membrane.
Thylakoids
A chloroplast may contain a hundred or more grana and each granum may contain from a few or several dozen disk-shaped structures called _______.
Stroma
Surrounding the thylakoids is a fluid matrix called the _______ where you can find the enzymes used to synthesize glucose during photosynthesis.
Vacuoles
It plays a major role in regulating the cell’s concentration of water in changing environmental conditions.
Tonoplast
The membrane surrounding vacuoles is called the _______.
Microfilaments
They function in cellular movements such as contraction, crawling, and pinching, during cell division, and formation of cellular extension.
Intermediate Filaments
It has no role in cell movement, its function is purely structural.
Microtubules
It helps with the cell-resistant compression, providing a track along which vesicles move through the cell.
Nucleus
It has the genetic material which is the DNA containing the instructions for the structure and function of all living organisms.
Nuclear Envelope
It is the outermost portion of the nucleus that separates the nucleus from cytoplasm.
Nucleoplasm
It is a semi-solid fluid inside the cell.
Bacteria
These are single-celled organisms that lack nucleus or any membrane-bound organelle.
Cell Wall
Its main function is to help in providing support, mechanical strength and rigidity to the cell.
Peptidoglycan
A protein-sugar (polysaccharide) molecule.
Capsule
Its role is to keep bacteria from drying out and protect it from phagocytosis (engulfing) by larger microorganisms.
Cytoplasm
Its function is for cellular growth, metabolism and replication of genetic material of bacterial cells.
Cytoplasm
It is also called the storehouse of all the chemicals and components that are used to sustain life of a bacteria.
Plasma Membrane
It helps in transportation of substances including removal of wastes from the body and providing a mechanical barrier to the cell.
Ribosome
It also helps in transferring the genetic material of bacterial cells.
Flagella
It is a hair-like structure that provides a means of locomotion.
Pili
It assists the bacteria in attaching or adhering on a surface or sometimes to host.
Nucleoid
It is an irregularly-shaped section of the prokaryotic cell where DNA is housed.
