How We Study Cells Light Microscopes Used to see most of cell/tissues Electron Microscopes Used to see smaller organelles/ bacteria
Electron Microscope Images TEM image of a Chloroplast SEM image of cilia
The original life form split into 3 groups Archaea and Bacteria have no membrane- bound organelles Eukaryotes have membrane- bound organelles
The Prokaryotic Cell (Bacteria, Archaea) No organelles DNA floating Ribosomes Makes some proteins Cell Wall

Prokaryotic Cell vs. Eukaryotic Cell
Our Cells - Eukaryotes DNA encased in membrane-bound nucleus Compartmentalized organelles Approx 10 times as large as bacterial cells
Eukaryotes Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists Protists are eukaryotes that are not plants, animals or fungi
Differences between Animal and Plant Cells Cell Wall Chloroplasts Large central vacuole More rigid, regular shape Animal cells No cell wall More flexible Smaller vacuoles Have things called centrioles
Eukaryotic Cells (Plant vs. Animal) Plant Cell Animal Cell
Phospholipids
Membranes 2 layers of phospholipids Found both around the cell and around each organelle Controls what gets in and what gets out
DNA controls production of proteins and activity of cell Nucleus Stores DNA DNA controls production of proteins and activity of cell
Nucleus with Nuclear Pores (TEM x 73,200) Ribosomes DNA Cytosol This image is copyright Dennis Kunkel at www.DennisKunkel.com
Assemble proteins, based on DNA instruction Ribosomes Assemble proteins, based on DNA instruction
Nucleolus (plural – nucleoli) Spherical structure(s) found within nucleus Make ribosomes Not related to DNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum Makes lipids, like membrane Rough ER wraps proteins in membrane to make a vesicle

Golgi Apparatus Warehouse- modifies and ships vesicles from the rough ER
Golgi Apparatus, (TEM x145,700) Vesicles This image is copyright Dennis Kunkel at www.DennisKunkel.com
Lysosomes Contains digestive enzymes Breaks down macromolecules, dead organelles, infectious bacteria etc.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts Found in plants, animals and fungi Aerobic cellular respiration Found only in plants, algae Photosynthesis

The Cytoskeleton Provides structural support and organization of organelles Also extremely important in cellular movement

Intermediate Filaments
Membrane- bound storage compartment Vacuole Membrane- bound storage compartment Stores food, water etc.
