Document Summary
Name the different organelles and the roles/functions for each. Explain the theory of the cell and endosymbiosis. Understand different types of microscopy and their requirements for use in cell biology. Mid 1600s: hooke built a rudimentary device to allow him to see smaller things that could not be seen with the naked eye: he first looked at cork and saw similarly shaped, small, organized compartments. He called them cellulae: what hooke observed were really just dead cells and their remaining cell walls. At the same time, van leeuwenhoek was working on a similar device the first microscope. These devices allowed scientists to look at the world around them an to collect data: after 200 years of gathering information, scientists were able to come up with the tree of life and establish cell biology. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms (schwann)
