What to Focus On

  • Robert Hooke discovered cells in cork in 1665.
  • Anton Van Leeuwenhoek observed living cells and named them 'animalcules'.
  • Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory in 1839.
  • Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • Eukaryotes have a nucleus and organelles.
  • Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes; eukaryotes have 80S.
  • Plant cells have a cell wall; animal cells do not.
  • Plant cells have chloroplasts; animal cells lack them.
  • Plant cells have large vacuoles; animal cells have small ones.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Viruses are considered living cells because they can reproduce.

All cells have a nucleus, so prokaryotes must have a small nucleus.

Cell wall and cell membrane are the same thing; one is just the stronger version of the other.

Memory Tips

Cell Theory: All organisms are made of cells; cells are the basic unit of life; all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Components of the cell: Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus
