Why Are Cells Small? 30 µm10 µm Surface area of one large cube = 5,400 µm 2 Total surface area of 27 small cubes = 16,200 µm 2
Cell Types: Prokaryotic
Animal Cell
Plant Cells
Membranes Bilipid membrane Hydrophobic Hydrophilic Fluid-mosaic model Selectively permeable
Plasma Membrane
Nucleus of Cells The compartment that encloses the DNA DNA is found along fibers of chromosomes When cells are not dividing, chromosomes are unraveled
Nucleus of Cells How genes work DNA RNA protein Protein is the gene product (function)
The Endomembrane System The system is a collection of membranous organelles These organelles manufacture and distribute cell products The endomembrane system divides the cell into compartments
Overview of System
Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough ER Ribosomes Protein synthesis within vacuoles Plasma membrane repair Smooth ER No ribosomes Lipid synthesis Detoxification
Rough ER Secretory Proteins
The Golgi Apparatus
Lysosomes & Vacuoles
Cytoskeleton Skeleton of cells: shape, size, movement, attachment
Cilia and Flagella
