CHAPTER 4 CELLS
2
4.1 History of Cell Biology
OBJECTIVES: Name scientists who first observed living and non living cells. Summarize research that led to cell theory. State 3 principles of Cell Theory Explain why cells are basic units of life
3
Discovery of Cells Hooke Leeuwenhook Discovered cells in cork
1st to observe dead cells Leeuwenhook First to observe living cells Described first cells as animulcules
4
Cell Theory Cell Theory has 3 parts
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic units of structure. Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells.
5
Cellular Basis of Life All living things Have cells Obtain energy
Perform chemical reactions Change with time Respond to the environment reproduce
6
4.2: Introduction to cells
Objectives: Describe 3 basic parts Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Analyze relationship between cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms
7
Cell Diversity Cell shape reflects the different functions of the cell. Cells not only differ in the shape but also the size.
8
Two basic types of cells
A. Prokaryotic Cells Do NOT have a nucleus Bacteria B. Eukaryotic Cells Has a nucleus Has organelles
9
Ribosomes and DNA Has Nucleus No Nuclear Membrane
10
Cell Organelles Animal Cell Plant Cell
11
Cell Organelles Plasma Membrane Cytoplasm Nucleus
Covers the cell and acts as a barrier between the inside and outside Cytoplasm Fluid inside the cell Nucleus Control center of cell Controls most functions of the cell
12
Cell Organelles Nucleolus Ribosomes Mitochondria
Site of DNA (genetic material) Ribosomes Made of protein Direct construction of protein Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell Transfers energy
13
Cell Organelles G. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
A. System of flattened sacs B. covered with ribosomes C. produces phospholipids and proteins D. transport system H. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum A. builds lipids (cholestrol) B. Abundant in liver and kidneys C. Detox body
14
Cell Organelles I. Golgi Apparatus
A. Packages materials throughout the cell Lysosomes Contain enzymes Cytoskeleton Microtubules Provide structure Microfilaments Contribute to cell movement
15
Cell Organelles L. Cilia A. many hairlike structures used for movement
Flagella Tail like organelle Assists in movement Tail on human sperm cells Centrioles Organize cytoskeleton for cell division
16
Cell Organelles Cell Wall Vacuole Chloroplasts Outside plasma membrane
Found only in PLANT cells Provides structure Vacuole Storage sac Chloroplasts Used in photosynthesis (green)
17
Cell WALL
18
Cell MEMBRANE
19
Nucleus: control center for the cell
20
4. Ribosomes: grain like bodies on the ER & in the cytoplasm
21
5.Endoplasmic Reticulum: (called ER) carry proteins and materials within the cell
22
6. Golgi Body: receives and packages proteins from ER and distributes around cell and body (mailroom)
23
7. Cytoplasm: clear gelatinous fluid inside a cell
24
8. Vacuoles: storage area of the cell Plant has one large vacuole Stores food, waste, & enzymes
25
9. Mitochondria = powerhouse of the cell; where cell energy comes from.
26
10. Chloroplasts: ONLY IN PLANTS captures sunlight and produces food for the cell
27
11. Flagella = used for movement
28
12. Cilia = used for movement; tiny hair-like structures; found on cells that need to move mucus
29
COMPARE and CONTRAST Plant and Animal Cells
Cell Wall Chloroplasts Large Vacuole Cytoskeleton Nucleus Cell Membrane
30
Importance of Cell Surface Area
What is surface area? The amount of surface for a cell Why is surface area important? When the volume of the cell increases, the surface area increases S.A. limits cell growth because if the cell becomes to large it will not be able to take in enough food and get rid of enough waste
