The cell is the basic unit of life.
Overview
All living cells that are capable of reproducing themselves have certain basic features in common:
They also share several abilities:
- A membrane, which envelopes the cell, separates its interior from the surroundings, strictly controls what moves in and out and maintains the electric potential of the cell,
- A salty cytoplasm (the substance which makes up most of the cell volume)
- DNA, the hereditary material of genes, which guide the operations of the cell.
- RNA, through which DNA instructions are expressed.
- Enzymes and other protein machinery.
- A variety of biomolecules.
These functions and abilities are expressed in the cell cycle: the "birth", growth, reproduction, and "death" of individual cells.
- The capacity to divide by mitosis.
- Metabolism, including the taking in of raw material, using it to build cell components, or breaking it down for energy, and releasing byproducts.
- Protein biosynthesis
- The ability to respond to external and internal stimuli
Organisms vary from single cells (called single-celled organisms) that function and survive more or less independently, through colonial forms with multiple similar cells living together, to multicellular forms in which cells are specialized and do not generally survive once separated. There are 220 types of cells and tissues that make up the multicellular human body.
Two basic types of cells are described: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are structurally simple. They are found only in single-celled and colonial organisms. In the three-domain system of Scientific classification, prokaryotic cells are placed in the domains Archaea and Eubacteria. Eukaryotic cells have organelles with their own cell membranes. Single-celled eukaryotic organisms are very diverse, but many colonial and multicellular forms also exist. (The multicellular kingdomss: Animalia, Plantae and Fungi, are all eukaryotic.)
Features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes typical organisms bacteria protists, fungi, plants, animals typical size ~ 1-10 um ~ 10-100 um type of nucleus nucleoid region; no real nucleus real nucleus with double membrane DNA circular (usually) linear molecules (chromosomes) with histone proteins RNA-/protein-synthesis coupled in cytoplasm RNA-synthesis inside the nucleus
protein synthesis in cytoplasmribosomes 50S+30S 60S+40S cytoplasmatic structure very few structures highly structured by intercellular membranes and a cytoskeleton cell movement flagella made of flagellin flagella and cilia made of tubulin mitochondria none one to several dozen (though some lack mitochondria) chloroplasts none in algae and plants organization usually single cells single cells, colonies, higher organisms with specialized cells cell division Binary fission (simple division) Mitosis (core division)
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmatic division)
Prokaryotic cells
- The cytoplasm of prokaryotes (the liquid which makes up most of the cell volume) is diffuse and granular due to ribosomes (protein factories) floating in the cell.
- The plasma membrane (a phospholipid bilayer) separates the interior of the cell from its environment and serves as a filter and communications beacon.
- Most prokaryotes have a cell wall (some exceptions are Mycoplasma (a bacterium) and Thermoplasma (an archaeon)). It consists of peptidoglycan in bacteria, and acts as an additional barrier against exterior forces. It also prevents the cell from "exploding" from osmotic pressure against a hypotonic environment.
- A prokaryotic chromosome is usually a circular molecule (an exception is that of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease). Even without a real nucleus, the DNA is somehow condensed in a nucleoid. Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids, which are usually circular. Plasmids can carry additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
- Some prokaryotes have flagella which enable them to move actively instead of passively drifting.
Eukaryotic cells
- The cytoplasm of eukaryotes does not appear as granular as that of prokaryotes, since an important part of the ribosomes are bound to the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function, with minor differences in the setup. Cell walls may or may not be present.
- The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which are highly condensed (e.g. folded around histones). All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus, separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles can contain some DNA.
- Eukaryotes can become mobile using cilia or flagella. The flagella are more complex than those of prokaryotes.

History
...I could exceedingly plainly perceive it to be all perforated and porous, much like a Honeycomb...these pores or cells , were not very deep, but consisted of a great many little boxes... – Hooke describing his observations on a thin slice of cork.
- 1665 : Robert Hooke discovers cells in cork, then in living plant tissue using an early microscope.
- 1839 : Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden elucidate the principal that plants and animals are made of cells, concluding that cells are a common unit of structure and development, thus founding the Cell Theory.
- The belief that life forms are able to occur spontaneously (generatio spontanea) is contradicted by Louis Pasteur (1822-1895).
- Rudolph Virchow states that cells always emerge from cell divisions (omnis cellula ex cellula).

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Biological tissue is a group of biological cells that perform a similar function. The study of tissues is known as histology, or, in connection with disease, histopathology. The classical tools for studying the tissues are the wax block, the tissue stain, and the optical microscope, though developments in electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and frozen sections have all added to the sum of knowledge in the last couple of decades. With these tools, the classical appearances of the tissues can be examined in health and disease, enabling considerable refinement of clinical diagnosis and prognosis.There are four basic types of tissue in the body. These compose all the organs, structures and other contents.
- Epithelium - Lines, covers, protects, absorbs and secretes.
- Connective tissue - As the name suggests, connective tissue holds everything together. Blood is considered a connective tissue.
- Muscle tissue - Muscle cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell.
- Nervous tissue
