Cell Theory Robert Hooke observed compartments in a thin slice of cork. He named them cells.

Cell Theory 1. All living things are composed of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. 3. Cells come from preexisting cells. 10 Trillion Cells make up the human Body 10 Trillion Cells make up the human Body There are 210 Types of cells found in the human body. There are 210 Types of cells found in the human body.

Nucleus Houses the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. Control Center of cell! Houses the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. Control Center of cell!

Cytoplasm The entire region of the cell between the nucleus and the plasma membrane is called the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic Bacteria and archeabacteria are prokaryotic. They lack a nucleus. Bacteria and archeabacteria are prokaryotic. They lack a nucleus. Plants, animals, fungi, protists all contain eukaryotic cells which contain a nucleus. Plants, animals, fungi, protists all contain eukaryotic cells which contain a nucleus.

Cell Wall Protects the plant cell and maintains its shape. Animal cells do not have cell walls! Protects the plant cell and maintains its shape. Animal cells do not have cell walls!

Cell Membrane Plasma Membrane- both plant and animal cells have a thin outer covering which defines the boundary of the cell and regulates the traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings.

You would have to stack 8,000 cell membranes to reach the thickness of a piece of paper. You would have to stack 8,000 cell membranes to reach the thickness of a piece of paper.

Membranes Regulate the transport of substances across the boundary, allowing only certain substances to pass. Regulate the transport of substances across the boundary, allowing only certain substances to pass. They are mainly composed of proteins and lipids called phospholipids. They are mainly composed of proteins and lipids called phospholipids. Since lipids are hydrophobic, they create a boundary between the cell’s aqueous cytoplasm and the aqueous environment surrounding the cell. Since lipids are hydrophobic, they create a boundary between the cell’s aqueous cytoplasm and the aqueous environment surrounding the cell.

Phospholipid Bilayer (Proteins can be considered icebergs floating in a sea of phospholipids).

Membrane Proteins Proteins perform most of the membrane’s specific functions. Proteins perform most of the membrane’s specific functions. Helping molecules cross the membrane. Helping molecules cross the membrane. Cellular signaling. Cellular signaling.

Passive Transport Diffusion across a membrane is called passive transport b/c no energy is used by the cell. Diffusion across a membrane is called passive transport b/c no energy is used by the cell. In facilitated diffusion, proteins help move molecules across the membrane. In facilitated diffusion, proteins help move molecules across the membrane.

Active Transport When a cell expends energy to move molecules or ions across a membrane the process is known as active transport. When a cell expends energy to move molecules or ions across a membrane the process is known as active transport. Usually opposes diffusion. Usually opposes diffusion. Active = ATP Active = ATP

Osmosis Diffusion of water! Diffusion of water! 1. In a saline solution. Percentage of water is less on the outside of the cell, so water moves out. 1. In a saline solution. Percentage of water is less on the outside of the cell, so water moves out. 2. Equilibrium. 2. Equilibrium.

Each green dot represents oxygen molecules. Will oxygen molecules move into or out of the cell? Will oxygen molecules move into or out of the cell? When will diffusion stop? When will diffusion stop?

Vesicles Small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into and out of the cell. Small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into and out of the cell. Vesicles store, transport, or digest cellular products and waste.

Mitochondria Sites where cellular respiration occurs. This process releases energy from sugars and certain other organic molecules and then uses it in the formation of another organic molecule called ATP (Energy).
