Unit 3: Cell Structure & Function Mrs. Howland Biology Level 10 Rev. Oct 2015
2
All living things are made up of … What is the smallest part of a LIVING thing?
3
Cell Theory All living things are made up of CELLS CELLS are the basic units of structure and function in living things. New cells are produced from existing cells
4
The DISCOVERY of cells In the 1600s, scientists began using microscopes Robert Hook looked at cork (plant material), discovering small ‘chambers’ he called CELLS (named after the tiny rooms they resembled!!)
5
Discovery of BACTERIA Anton van Leeuwenhoek looked at pond water and a sample taken from a human mouth This was his drawing of the organisms he saw in the mouth—these are the organisms we call BACTERIA! Check out his microscope!
6
CELL TYPES & SIZES
8
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes We categorize cells into TWO basic types
9
Prokaryotes Do NOT enclose DNA in nuclei SMALLER, and SIMPLER structure Still grow, respond to environment, can move, have genetic material in form of DNA BACTERIA!
10
Eukaryotes LARGER and MORE COMPLEX structures Highly SPECIALIZED CONTAIN internal structures and organelles Plant cells, animal cells, fungi, protists
11
Cell is like a FACTORY or CITY Each part has its own function. Together, the parts work to maintain life.
12
The “JOB” of a cell What jobs do cells have to do for an organism to live… “Breathe” ~ gas exchange: O 2 in vs. CO 2 out Eat ~ take in & digest food Make energy ~ ATP Build molecules ~ proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids Remove wastes ~ byproducts of chemical reactions, dead bacteria/viruses/cells Control internal conditions ~ homeostasis!!! Respond to external environment Build more cells ~ growth, repair, reproduction & development
13
Organelles Organelles are structures inside cells They do the “WORK” of cells Are specialized by function
14
Cell Parts and Functions
17
Cell Membrane Protects and supports the cell Semi-permeable ~ Lets things in and out of the cell Location: around the cell
18
Cell Parts and Functions Nucleus “Control center” ~ contains DNA Location: inside the cell, near the center near the centerChromatin Strands of information ~ ‘instructions’ for the cell Location: inside the nucleus
19
Cell Parts and Functions Nucleolus (Nucleoli) Makes ribosomes Location: inside the nucleus (dark spot) (dark spot) Nuclear Membrane Protects nucleus Lets things in/out of nucleus (pores) Location: around nucleus cell
20
Cell Parts and Functions Mitochondria Uses food to make chemical energy in the form of ATP “powerhouse” Location: in cytoplasm Golgi Bodies/Apparatus Modifies, sorts, packages proteins and lipids for transport out of the cell (Location: in cytoplasm
21
Cell Parts and Functions Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) Assembles proteins and lipids Two types: SMOOTH and ROUGH (has ribosomes) Location: attaches from cell membrane to nuclear membrane Rough E.R.
22
Cell Parts and Functions Ribosome Synthesizes proteins Location: in cytoplasm or Attached to E.R.
23
Cell Parts and Functions Vesicle Membrane-bound sac Holds/transports materials Vacuole Stores food and water Location: in cytoplasm
24
Cell Parts and Functions Lysosome Use chemicals ~ ENZYMES ~ to LYSE (break apart) food molecules and old cells
25
Cell Parts and Functions Cytoplasm Gel-like substances, holds all organelles in cell Location: in cell Cytoskeleton Maintains cell shape, moves cell parts, helps cells move Actin, tubulin Prokaryotes have protein filaments Location: in cell
26
Cell Parts and Functions Cilia Short hair-like projections Used for movement Location: outside of cell Flagella Long whip-like tail Used for movement Location: outside of cell
27
Cell Structures and Functions Chloroplast Traps sun’s energy and makes food Location: in plant cells
28
Cell Parts and Functions Cell Wall Protects and supports plant Cells Prevents water loss Cellulose Location: outer layer of plant cells
29
Cells and Microscopy
30
Cells and Microscopy ~ Plant Cells Onion Cells at 400x Onion Cells at 100x
31
Cells and Microscopy ~ ANIMAL CELL Cheek Cells at 400x
32
Cells and Microscopy ~ ANIMAL CELL Muscle Cells at 100x
33
CELL TRANSPORT Movement of molecules into and out of the cell
34
PASSIVE TRANSPORT- Diffusion Does NOT require energy Molecules move from HIGHER concentration to LOWER concentration
35
PASSIVE TRANSPORT- Osmosis Facilitated diffusion – requires protein channels Water moves across membrane until dynamic equilibrium is reached
37
Different Concentrations inside and outside cells… HYPERTONIC ~ Solution outside of cell has GREATER concentration of particles. Water moves OUT of cell. ISOTONIC ~ Solution outside of cell and inside of cell have equal concentrations. Water moves equally in both directions. HYPOTONIC ~ Solution outside of cell has LOWER concentration of particles. Water move INTO cell.
38
Effects of Osmosis on Animal Cells
39
ACTIVE TRANSPORT- Requires energy!! Protein pumps – ATP energy pumps small molecules Exocytosis – Sending material OUT of the cell (BULK TRANSPORT) Endocytosis – Taking material INTO the cell (BULK TRANSPORT)
40
ACTIVE TRANSPORT- Requires ENERGY!!!
