Class 11th Biology - Historical Background and Discovery of Cell

Class 11th Biology - Historical Background and Discovery of Cell

Historical Background and Discovery of Cell
  • Robert Brown (1773- 1858) discovered nucleus in the center of all cells. He established that the nucleus was the fundamental and constant component of the cells.
  • In 1838, a German botanist Mathias Jacob Schleiden (1804-1881) put forth the idea that cells were the units of structure in the plants. In 1839, his co-worker, a German Zoologist, Theodor Schwann applied Schleiden’s thesis to the animals. Both of them postulated that the cell is the basic unit of structure and function in all life forms. This simple, basic and biological generalization is known as Cell Theory or Cell Doctrine.
  • In later years the cell theory was extended and refined further. Nageli(1817-1891) showed in 1864 that plant cells arise from the pre-existing cells. In 1855, a German pathologist Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) confirmed Nageli’s principle of the cellular basis of life’s continuity. His statement was that the cells arise only from the pre-existing cells, thus he established the significance of cell division in the reproduction of organisms.
  • In 1858, Virchow published his classical textbook Cellular Pathology and in it, he correctly asserted that as functional units of life, the cells were the primary sites of diseases and cancer.
  • Later, in 1865, Louis Pasteur in France gave experimental evidence to support Virchow’s extension of the cell theory.
  • An English plant micro anatomist Nehemiah Grew (1641-1721) published accounts of the microscopic examination of sections through the flowers, roots, and stems of plants and clearly indicated that he recognized the cellular nature of plant tissues.
  • In 1807, Mirbel stated that all plant tissues were composed of cells. French biologist, Rene Dutrochet, concluded in 1824, that all animal and plant tissues were “aggregates of globular cells”.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
