The structures and functions of the cell
Cell Theory Term “cell” was coined in 1665 by Robert Hooke He looked at a slice of dried cork
CELL THEORY 1.Cells are the smallest “living” unit in an organisms. 2.All living things are comprised of cells. 3.Cells come from previously existing cells
Cell Diversity Lots of shapes and sizes
CELL TYPES PROKARYOTIC CELL NO NUCLEUS, MOST PRIMITIVE FORM OF LIFE
CELL TYPES EUKARYOTIC CELL DNA ORGANIZED IN A NUCLEUS, MORE COMPLEX THAN PROKARYOTIC CELLS
Typical Cell
Cell Membrane Outer boundary –Both Physical and Chemical Comprised of two layers of lipid (fat) –Outer and inner layers Proteins –Proteins give the cell its unique “personality” or function
Function of Membrane Proteins 1.Transport (in and out of cell) 2.Receptors 3.Cell adhesion 4.Cell recognition

CELL MEMBRANE Passive transport Active transport Animation Animation 2
BULK TRANSPORT endocytosis exocytosis Animation
Cytoplasm Is comprised of: 1.Cytosol 2.Organelles
Organelles 1.Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) A network of membrane-bound tunnels throughout the cytoplasm
Two Types of ER 1.Rough ER (rER) 2.Smooth ER (sER) Names based on appearance
ER Rough ER Smooth ER
rER Has particles attached to outside of membrane
sER sER doesn’t have ribosomes attached. sER function – lipid (fat) synthesis Animation
Endoplasmic reticulum Like an interstate highway
Ribosomes These particles attached to rER are ribosomes. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis within every cell.
Ribosomes Animation
Ribosomes Like an Assembly line
Golgi Apparatus Flattened membranes Involved in packaging and secretion of proteins
Golgi Apparatus Animation
Golgi Apparatus Like a Post office Which Packages And sorts mail
Lysosomes DIGEST SUGARS DIGEST BACTERIA DIGEST CELL PARTS DIGEST CELL Animation
LYSOSOMES
Mitochondria Bean shaped Outer and inner membranes
Mitochondria The mitochondria are the site where most of the cell’s ATP is generated, when organic compounds are broken down to carbon dioxide and water, using oxygen Types Animation
Mitochondria BATTERY
Plant Cell Organelles Plants have three special structures not found in animals: the chloroplast, the cell wall, and the central vacuole.
PLANT CELL ORGANELLES
CHLOROPLAST The site of photosynthesis, the process of converting carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen using sunlight. Most life depends on photosynthesis, directly or indirectly. It uses the green pigment chlorophyll to capture the energy from light Animation
Chloroplast Like a solar panel. Uses sunlight to make Something (electricity)
VACUOLE USED AS A LARGE STORAGE AREA USUALLY FOR WATER IN PLANTS Animation
VACUOLE STORAGE
CELL WALL
SUPPORT
Nucleus Control center of cell Contains DNA in chromosomes Genetic repository for ~ 35,000 genes Genes control the synthesis of proteins in each cell
Nucleus
Replication of DNA
NUCLEUS - COMPUTER
Organelles. Putting it all together
