The Fundamental Unit Of Life
# Events related to cytology
Study of cell : Cytology
Discovery of non-living cell : Robert Hooke ( 1665 )
Discovery of living cell : Antony Leeuwenhoek ( 1674 )
Discovery of protoplasm : Purkinje (1839 )
Cell theory was given by : Schleiden ( 1838 ) and Schwann ( 1839 )
Rudolf virchow expanded cell theory in : 1855
# What are living organisms made up of ?
All living organisms are made up of cells.
Best on the number of cells present in an organism divided into two parts :
Unicellular organisms : Made up of only one cell.
Multicellular organisms : Made up of more than one cell.
#Shape and size of the cells : The shape and size of the cells are related to the specific function they perform.
Some cells can change their shape, like amoeba and white blood cells.
Most of the plant cells and animal cells have a fixed shape.
# Cells which are fixed in shape can be
Polygonal : ex - liver cells
Spherical : ex - eggs of many animals
Spindle shaped : ex - smooth muscle fibre
Elongated : ex - nerve cells
Discoidal : ex - erythrocytes
Cuboidal : ex - germ cell
Stellate : ex - bone cell
Elliptical : ex - fat cell
# Cell size : most cells however are visible only under microscope since they are only a few micrometres in diameter.
Size of bacteria cell : 0.1-0.5 um. ( 1um = 10^-6 m )
Biggest cell : 18 cm
The prokaryotic cells usually range between 1 to 10 um.
The eukaryotic cells usually range between 5 to 100 um.
The size of an organism is dependent on the number of cells present and not on the size of cells.
The elephant is larger due to the large number of cells present in its body as compared to rats.
