All cells come from pre -
existing cells Homeostasis
↳ by the process of mitosis and cell division .
Reproduction
↳ there's no spontaneous creation of cells .
Exceptions to cell theory History Of Cell Theory
1 . Skeletal muscle 1665 Robert HOOK observed a plant cell and
to refer the smallest unit
" "
↳ made of muscle fibres used the word cell
↳ multinucleated Of life . There was a need to clearly define what
2. Giant Algae cells actually are and their properties .
↳ unicellular 1818 Three scientists developed the cell theory
↳ visible with naked eye which offers a widely explanation of 'The relationship
3. A septate Fungi between cells and living things
↳ with many nuclei Development of cell theory was made possible
↳ no dividing cell wall thanks to advances in microscopy .
↳ posses continuous / Shared cytoplasm .
Electron microscope : more details of cell structure .
Unicellular (1940s )
consist only of 1 cell
↳ has to carry out all the functions of life .
Surface area TO volume ratio

Euglena absorbed and waste products must be

, The difference between magnification and resolution
•
Magnification : degree to which the size of an image is larger than the image itself .
•
Resolution : degree to which it's possible to distinguish between two objects that are
Magnification = size of image
actual size of Object
stem cells
A stem cell is that can form more cells
an undifferentiated cell of multicellular organism
of the same type indefinitely ,
and from which certain other kinds of cells arise by differentat .
•
Stem cells are ON SPECIALISED cells .
•
stem cells have the capacity to divide indetene-e.ly .
•
stem cells are not fully differentiated .
They can differentiate in different ways to produce
different type of cells .
4 TYPES OF STEM CELLS :
TOEI potent stem cells ( eight cells of the morula )
can differentiate into any type of cell , and can give rise to a complete organism .
Pluripotent stem cells ( embryonic stem cells of the blastocyst )
can differentiate into all body cells , but cannot give rise to a whole organism .
Multipotent stem cells ( umbilical cold stem cells I
differentiate into few related types of body cell
can a
closely .
Uni potent stem cells
can only differentiate into their associated cell type .
USE OF STEM CELLS TO TREAT DISEASE
regenerated tissue

-
produce ( skin for people who suffered burn )
Therapeutic
TO grow whole replacement organs ( hearts or kidneys )
TO produce large quantities of striated muscle fibres ,
or meat , for human consumption .
V

therapeutic
small number of stem cells are still present in adult
body .
> give some human tissues considerable powers of regeneration and repair .
