Cells as Experimental Models
Vertebrates are the most complex animals, and the most difficult to study from the standpoint of cell and molecular biology.
One approach is to use isolated cells in culture.
Xenopus produces large eggs in large numbers, facilitating laboratory study and biochemical analysis. Good for developmental biology
Zebrafish bridge the gap between humans and simpler invertebrate systems, like C. elegans and Drosophila.

Animals have five main tissue types:
Epithelial cells form sheets that cover the surface of the body and line internal organs.
Skin, intestine surface
Fibroblasts cells form connective such as
bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue.

The Origin and Evolution of Cells
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of intracellular membranes, extending from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm. It functions in the processing and transport of proteins and the synthesis of lipids.
In the Golgi apparatus, proteins are further processed and sorted for transport to their final destinations

Tools of Cell Biology
The discovery of cells arose from the development of the light microscope.
Robert Hooke coined the term “cell”following his observations of a piece of cork in 1665.
In the 1670s Antony van Leeuwenhoek was able to observe a variety of cells, including sperm, red blood cells, and bacteria.
