Cell Structure and Function Chapter 7 www.nerdscience.com
2
The Discovery of the Cell Robert Hooke – first to see and identify cork “cells.” 7-1 www.nerdscience.com
3
The Cell Theory Cell Theory: 1.All living things are composed of cells. 2.Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3.New cells are produced from existing cells. Schleiden Schwann Virchow 7-1 www.nerdscience.com
4
Who said “All plants are made of cells?” A.Hooke B.Schleiden C.Schwann D.Virchow
5
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Nucleus – large membrane- enclosed structure that contains the cell’s genetic information. Prokaryotes – cells that do not contain nuclei. (Bacteria) Eukaryotes – cells that contain nuclei. (All other organisms) 7-1 www.nerdscience.com
6
Eukaryotic Cell Structure Organelles – structures in a cell that act like “little organs.” Cytoplasm – the jelly-like fluid that the organelles “float” in. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
7
Inside the Nucleus Nuclear Envelope – membrane that surrounds the nucleus. Chromatin – consists of DNA wrapped around proteins. “Ball of string” Chromosomes – condensed string- like structure that forms from DNA just before the cell divides. Nucleolus – structure within the nucleus that makes ribosomes. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com

9
Ribosomes Ribosomes – made of RNA and protein. Make Proteins! 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
10
Ribosomes Ribosome 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
11
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Endoplasmic reticulum – internal membrane system of the cell. –Lipids, proteins, and other products are made here. –Rough ER – has ribosomes –Smooth ER – no ribosomes 7-2 www.nerdscience.com

13
Golgi Apparatus Golgi Apparatus – modifies, sorts, and packages proteins. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
14
Golgi Apparatus 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
15
Lysosomes Lysosomes – small organelles filled with enzymes. –Digest molecules to be used by the cell. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
16
Vacuoles Vacuoles – store materials. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
17
Vacuoles 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
18
Mitochondria Mitochondria – organelle that converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. –“Powerhouse of the Cell!” 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
19
Mitochondria 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
20
Chloroplasts Chloroplasts – organelles that capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. (Photosynthesis) –Found only in plants. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
21
Chloroplasts Chloroplast 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
22
Cytoskeleton Cytoskeleton – helps cell to maintain shape, move, and move organelles. Centrioles – help organize cell division. Not found in plants. 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
23
Cytoskeleton 7-2 www.nerdscience.com
24
Cell Boundaries Cell membrane – thin, flexible membrane that surrounds the cell. Cell walls – rigid layer around the membrane found only in bacteria, fungi and plants. 7-3 www.nerdscience.com
25
Cell Membrane Controls what enters/leaves cell, provides support/protection. Lipid Bilayer – double-layered sheet of phospholipids. Two layers! 7-3 www.nerdscience.com
26
Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion – movement of particles from an area of high to low concentration. Osmosis – the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. –Water will move into/out of a cell to equalize concentrations. 7-3 www.nerdscience.com
27
Osmosis Practice Cell 90% H2O 10% NaCl 90% H2O 10% NaCl Concentrations are equal, so no net movement of water! 7-3 www.nerdscience.com Isotonic Solution
28
Osmosis Practice Cell 90% H2O 10% NaCl 80% H2O 20% NaCl Concentration of water is greater in the cell than out, so water will move out! 7-3 www.nerdscience.com Hypertonic Solution
29
Osmosis Practice Cell 80% H2O 20% NaCl 90% H2O 10% NaCl Concentration of water is greater outside the cell than in, so water will move In! 7-3 www.nerdscience.com Hypotonic Solution
30
Facilitated Diffusion and Active Transport Facilitated diffusion – when the plasma membrane “helps” particles pass through protein channels. –No energy used. Active transport – when the plasma membrane uses energy to move particles against a concentration gradient. –Uses Transport Proteins 7-3 www.nerdscience.com
31
Facilitated Diffusion and Active Transport 7-3 www.nerdscience.com
