Classification schemes came to be based less on similarities and differences in form and more on evolutionary relatedness among species. Species that diverged from the same ancestors were grouped into the same categories. Cells: Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann‚ both proposed the cell theory‚ which states that all organisms are composed of cells and that all cells come from preexisting cells. The cell is the smallest unit capable of exhibiting all of the characteristics of life. Ecosystems: This

Biology HL Portfolio The Cell and Cell Theory [pic] The cell The word cell comes from the Latin word “cellula”‚ which means a small room. The cell is the smallest unit of a living organism‚ also known as “the building block of life”. Every living organism is consisted of a cell. There are bacteria (unicellular organisms)‚ and multicellular organisms. There are different types of cells‚ prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. All cells come from preexisting cells. “Every cell is self-maintaining;

Anton van Leeuwenhoek used a singlelens microscope to observe pond water & other things. The microscope revealed a world of tiny living organisms that seemed to be everywhere. Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were made up of cells. Theodor Schwann stated that all animals were made up of cells. Rudolf Virchow concluded that new cells could be produced only from the division of existing cells. Janet Plowe demonstrated that the cell membrane is a physical structure‚ not an interface between two

The first German use‚ Biologie‚ was used in a 1771 translation of Linnaeus’ work. In 1797‚ Theodor Georg August Roose used the term in a book‚ Grundzüge der Lehre van der Lebenskraft‚ in the preface. Karl Friedrich Burdach used the term in 1800 in a more restricted sense of the study of human beings from a morphological‚ physiological and psychological

cells in 1665. Later‚ Anton von Leeuvenhoek (Dutch naturalist) observed pond water under his microscope and called the tiny organisms‚ macules. Matthias Schleiden‚ a botanist‚ stated that all plants are composed of individual units called cells. Theodor Schwann‚ a zoologist‚ stated that all animals are also composed of cells. Modern Cell Theory: Cells are the smallest complete living thing All organisms are composed of cells Cells arise from preexisting cells through cellular division All of today’s

observed compartments resembling honeycombs and each compartment was separated by a wall. He termed each compartment as a ‘cell’. It was the first indication that living organisms are made of cells. Cell Theory In 1838‚ Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann proposed the basic cell theory. In 1858‚ another scientist Virchow made an addition to the existing cell theory. The postulates of the modern cell theory are 1. The cell is the smallest unit of structure of all living things. 2. The cell is

the vital role that Schwann cells play in perineural invasion‚ the process in which cancer cells invade the nerves. Deborde began the seminar by explaining how the nerves are part of the tumor microenvironment and how cancer cells can invade the nerves in the process of perineural invasion. Deborde described perineural invasion as a type of metastatic invasion‚ where the cancer cells spread from its origin site in the nerves to different areas of
