Document Summary
Microscope plants and animals are assemblies of cells: cells can exist independently and are considered living since they can reproduce and grow, etc. All living things are fundamentally similar inside (chemistry and sharing the same machinery for most basic functions) genetic info flows from dna to rna (transcription) and from rna to protein (translation) These drawings are done to different scales, but in each case the scale bar represents. 10 mm. the organisms in (a), (b), (e), (f), and (i) are ciliates; (c) is a euglenoid; (d) is an amoeba; (g) is a dinoflagellate; and (h) is a heliozoan. The invention of the light microscope (hooke) led to the discovery of cells: official birth of cell biology was signaled by two publications by botanist matthias. Schleiden (1838) and zoologist theodor schwann (1839), who both showed that cells were the universal building blocks of all living tissues.
