PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS

Early Scientists’ Contributions: Record notes

Anton van Leeuwenhoek First compound light microscope

Robert Hooke Coined the term “cell”

Matthias Schlieden All plants are made of cells

Theodor Schwann All animals are made of cells

Rudolf Virchow Cells can only arise from pre-existing cells

Cell Theory: Record on page 4 All organisms are made up of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of organization of all organisms. All cells come from other cells already in existence.

Building Blocks of Life from Large to Small: Record on page 5 Biosphere Ecosystem Community Population Individual Organs 7. Tissues 8. Cells 9. Molecules 10. Atoms 11. Quarks

Cell Functions: Record

CELL WALL: PLANT Analogy: Like a brick wall Function: Gives the cell most of its support and structure A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell Bonds with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant Analogy: Like a brick wall

CELL MEMBRANE Analogy: Like a gate Function: Semi permeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. Thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell     Analogy: Like a gate

Chloroplast Analogy: I am sweet like a mint gumdrop. Function: Where photosynthesis takes place An elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll Analogy: I am sweet like a mint gumdrop.

Cytoplasm Function: Where the organelles are located. Analogy: Like cherry Jello. Cytoplasm

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM Function: transports materials through the cell Rough ER is covered with ribosome's that give it a rough appearance Analogy: Like a train.

Golgi Bodies Analogy: Like Amazon Function: Golgi bodies are the packaging and secreting organelles of the cell. Are stacks of membrane-covered sacs that package and move proteins to the outside of the cell. Analogy: Like Amazon

Lysosome Analogy: Like a garbage disposal Function: Where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place Also called cell vesicles Spherical organelles surrounded by a membrane They contain digestive enzymes Analogy: Like a garbage disposal

Mitochondria Analogy: Like a battery Functions: Powerhouse of the cell. Where energy of the cell is released. Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane Membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae)   Analogy: Like a battery

Nucleus: The Manager Analogy: Like a boss or CEO Function: Controls many of the functions of the cell Spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus Contains DNA (in chromosomes) Surrounded by the nuclear membrane Analogy: Like a boss or CEO

Ribosome's Function: Small structures in the cytoplasm that create proteins. Ribosome's are either free floating in the cytoplasm of a cell or attached to endoplasmic reticulum in a cell. Analogy: Like BBQ ribs

Vacuole Analogy: Like a suitcase Function: a vacuole is a temporary storage space for the cell Fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell Fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell Analogy: Like a suitcase
