What’s In

In the previous module you were able to describe the different levels of
structural organization making up an organism. With that, you learned that each
organism started from the very basic level known as the Cell. It can be noted that
when cells are grouped together they form tissues. The tissues in turn will form the
organs and further form the organ systems in a body. Hence, when organ systems
interconnect with each other, they compose the organism.

In a biosphere, organisms interact with their environment. This can

determine their survival, growth, development and mortality rate. This lesson will
help you dig deeper on the importance of the basic unit of life which makes up You
and Me. it is our goal to let you explore what is in a cell in our new lesson. Are you
ready?

 What’s New

Let your excitement for the new lesson come out. Here, you will be provided
with activities that will enlighten you how scientists were able to discover and
unravel the mystery of the unseen world of the cell. Find out what they discovered
a long time ago and how it all happened. Let’s get started!

The Timeline of Cell Discovery

1665 Robert Hooke was the first person who used the term cells to refer to
the tiny structures found in organisms. He observed a piece of cork
with the use of a microscope which he himself had made. There he
observed boxlike compartments in the cork. Hooke thought they looked
like the small rooms or cells of old monasteries. He then called these
structures in cork as cells. What Hooke really saw were the outer
boundaries of the cells. They looked like empty boxes because the cells
were dead. He did not study further on the cell content.
1674 Anton Van Leeuwenhoek who was a Dutch lens maker, was credited
with making the first microscope. He was the first person to have
observed microscopic organisms. He discovered protozoa and saw
bacteria some 9 years later.
1838 Mathias J. Schleiden was the German botanist who worked on various
plants. He concluded that all plants are composed of cells.
1839 Theodor Schwann was a German zoologist (someone who studies
various animals). He theorized that all animals are composed of cells.
1858 Rudolf Virchow who was a German physician, discovered that cells
increased in number by dividing and forming new cells. He expounded
his famous conclusion: omni cellula e cellula which means cells come
from pre-existing cells.

The Cell Theory Summary

-All living things are composed of cells.
-Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
-All cells come from pre-existing cells.

Directions: Read and answer what is being asked. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

A. Arrange the events in chronological order as I, II, III, IV and V with I as the
oldest and V as the latest event.

1. Tiny chambers that look like empty compartments were called cells.
2. A scientist concluded that cells come from pre-existing cells.
3. Microorganisms like bacteria and protozoa were seen under a microscope.

5. A German scientist studied plant cells.

B. Identify the scientist being described in each. Select your answers from the box.

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek Jan Evangelista Purkinje Robert Hooke

Matthias Schleiden Robert Brown Rudolf Virchow
Theodor Schwann,

1. He concluded that all plants are composed of cells.

2. He theorized that all animals are composed of cells.
3. The person who discovered the cells.
4. He stated that all living cells come from pre-existing cells.
5. The first person who observed microscopic organisms.

What is It

Cells are considered as the basic structural and functional units of life. Why?
Definitely because cells are the building blocks of organisms. Life processes happen
in cells. All organisms are composed of cells. Without cells there would be no life
forms in this planet. The number of cells vary depending on the size of an organism.
As you have learned from your previous module, life begins with a cell. The larger
the body of an organism, the greater number of cells are present. Likewise, the
smaller the body of an organism, the least number of cells are expected. The
number of cells in elephants is a hundred times more than that of humans.

There are multicellular and unicellular organisms. Organisms with only one
cell are unicellular such as paramecium, euglena and coccus. Organisms with
millions of cells are multicellular like animals, plants, fungi and protists. Cells are
basically composed of water, proteins, RNA, DNA and several organelles (different
structures in a cell). Water is considered as the largest component.

We should be thankful to our scientists for their contributions to the

discovery and study of cells. What they discovered greatly improved technological
advancement.

Guide Questions:
1. What is considered as the building block of nature?

2. Are all cells multicellular? Support your answer.

3. Give an example of unicellular organism.

4. Differentiate a unicellular organism from a multicellular organism.

5. Can there be tissues, organs and systems

 What’s New

In the next activity you need to read a short story carefully. Note important
details for you to answer the questions that follow.

“Cromwell’s Journey”
by: Maria Vanissa M. Tayong

Cromwell is a Grade 7 student who enrolled in a public high school. He was

still very young when his mother noticed that he is fond of reading books. They’re
not just any other book- they’re Science books!

Since then, his parents were very supportive of his hobby. One night, he
started reading a book entitled Biology. He remembered the assignment given by his
teacher. He took down notes to answer the questions : What are the types of cells?
How do they differ? Then, he sat back, relaxed and went on reading. He looked at
the colorful figures of cells classified as eukaryotic and prokaryotic. He closely
searched for their differences. He noticed that Eukaryotic cells have distinct
nucleus enclosed by a membrane. “Eukaryotes are multicellular” he exclaimed. He
learned that plants, animals, and protists are eukaryotes. “I am eukaryotic, “ he
told himself. He wondered how Prokaryotic cells can survive as a unicellular
organism even without well-defined membrane and nucleus. He looked and
compared the eukaryotic from the prokaryotic cells. While drinking some water he
started illustrating Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria to easily remember the
examples of prokaryotic cells. It was 8 o’clock in the evening as he continued
reading the next topic.

“What’s this?,” he whispered... Cells have three basic parts which are the
cytoplasm, nucleus and plasma membrane. He found out that the cytoplasm is a
jelly-like substance where all other cell parts are located. The nucleus can be seen
easily as it is located at the center and controls the activities of the other parts of
the cell. Plasma membrane encloses the cell separating the inside contents from
its outside environment. Suddenly, his mother called him so he stopped reading
and went to sleep.

The next day he became very excited in going to school. Though he prepared
a lot before his Science class started, he can’t help but feel anxious. When his
favorite subject started, he felt a little bit nervous but confident enough to interact
with his teacher and classmates. You know what? His teacher was amazed of his
comprehensive and factual ideas. Claps filled the air after his turn in class. This
made him more eager to do advance readings.

17
CO_Q2_Science 7_ Module 5
 Cromwell’s day became much fuller when his crush said hi and
congratulated him after their class. When he got home, he told his mother of what
happened during that day.

That night at home, while Cromwell’s mom was cooking, she listened and
asked him questions like a teacher. “What are the functions of cells?” she said as
she acted like the strictest lady in town. Then, the two of them laughed aloud
together. “ I know some of this but I’m not that sure,” he replied. Then they sat
together, and Cromwell started reading. “Generally, cells carry out all life processes
and secrete certain substances during and after a cellular activity. Therefore our
cells produce energy, provide structure and support and allow the transport of
substances.”, he embarked. “Very good my child, because you do good towards
your studies, I’ll give you a food treat by Saturday!”

Q: Are you amazed of Cromwell’s journey? What attitude towards learning

did he
show?

What is It

How much have you learned today? Let’s find out if you can answer the
questions that follow. Rewrite and answer them in a separate sheet.

Cells vary in size, shape and function but there are parts and characteristics
common to all of them. You have learned in lesson 1 that all organisms are made
up of cells. However, you needed to explore more about its types, parts and
functions as building blocks of life. The “journey of Cromwell” helped you to find
answers to your questions. Look at the figures below and spot the differences.

In your science class, your teacher asked you to identify the cells in the
pictures posted on the board. You observed that Picture 1 has no defined nucleus
and you labeled it as (1) . For Picture 2 the nucleus is very visible then this
type of a cell is (2) . Your teacher continued to deliver her lesson. She
presented that a cell has three basic parts.
The (3) ,encloses the cell and separates the inside organelles from the

multicellular organisms whose cells have nucleus are called (6) . On the
other hand, Ysah continued to discuss that a unicellular organism whose cell has no

defined nucleus but has a nucleoid region is called ( 7) .

Finally your teacher emphasized that cells are the building blocks of life and
are considered as basic structural and functional unit of life. Because basically they
perform all life processes that enable all organisms to grow and develop. Among the
general functions of cells are: (8) , (9) and (10) .

What I Can Do

You are doing great! This time you have to draw and label simple cell showing its
three basic parts. After which, write a short description on the functions of these
basic parts. Do it in a separate sheet. Note: You can use crayons and other
materials to make your output more creative and colorful
