Context #1 | Adjective

biological structure

The term 'celled' describes an organism or structure that possesses cells, which are the basic units of life. It is often used to indicate whether an organism is unicellular (composed of a single cell) or multicellular (composed of multiple cells). For example, bacteria are typically unicellular, while plants and animals are multicellular. The term can also refer to specific types of cells within organisms, such as muscle-celled or nerve-celled.

Synonyms

cellular, having cells

Examples of usage

  • Multicellular organisms are more complex than unicellular ones.
  • Bacteria are often described as celled organisms.
  • In multicellular life forms, cells function together.
  • The study of celled organisms is fundamental to biology.

Etymology

The word 'celled' is derived from the Latin word 'cella', which means a small room, chamber, or cell. It has evolved in the context of biological sciences to refer specifically to the structural components of living organisms. In the late 19th century, as cell theory became more established through the work of scientists such as Robert Hooke and Matthias Schleiden, the terminology began to standardize. The suffix '-ed' indicates that the term describes a quality of having certain characteristics, in this case, the presence of cells. The application of 'celled' in various scientific fields reflects the growing understanding of biology and the importance of cells as fundamental units of life. Over the years, it has become a critical term in describing the complexity of life forms, particularly in categorizing the vast diversity of living organisms based on their cellular composition.
