2. 1 Basic Structure of a Cell copyright cmassengale

3. 2 Introduction to Cells Cells are the basic units of organisms Cells can only be observed under microscope Basic types of cells: Animal CellPlant Cell Bacterial Cell copyright cmassengale

4. 3 Number of Cells Organisms may be: Unicellular – composed of one cell Multicellular- composed of many cells that may organize copyright cmassengale

5. 4  Prokaryotes include bacteria & lack a nucleus or membrane-bound structures called organelles  Eukaryotes include most other cells & have a nucleus and membrane- bound organelles (plants, fungi, & animals) Cells May be Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic copyright cmassengale

6. 5 Prokaryotes Nucleoid region contains the DNA Cell membrane & cell wall Contain ribosomes (no membrane) to make proteins in their cytoplasm copyright cmassengale

7. 6 Eukaryotic Cell Contain 3 basic cell structures: Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm with organelles copyright cmassengale

8. 7 Two Main Types of Eukaryotic Cells Plant Cell Animal Cell copyright cmassengale

9. 8 Organelles Very small size Can only be observed under a microscope Have specific functions Found throughout cytoplasm copyright cmassengale

10. 9 Organelles Found in Cells Examples of Organelles include: Endoplasmic reticulum (rough & smooth) – canals for movement Golgi Bodies – wrap & export proteins Nucleolus – makes ribosomes Lysosomes – digests & gets rid of wastes Ribosomes – makes proteins copyright cmassengale

11. 10 Golgi Bodies Stacks of flattened sacsStacks of flattened sacs Have a shipping side & a receiving sideHave a shipping side & a receiving side Receive & modify proteins made by ERReceive & modify proteins made by ER Transport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off the endsTransport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off the ends Transport vesicle copyright cmassengale

12. 11 Lysosome Contain digestive enzymesContain digestive enzymes Break down food and worn out cell parts for cellsBreak down food and worn out cell parts for cells Programmed for cell death (lyse & release enzymes to break down & recycle cell parts)Programmed for cell death (lyse & release enzymes to break down & recycle cell parts) copyright cmassengale

13. 12 Nucleolus Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Inside nucleusInside nucleus Disappears when cell dividesDisappears when cell divides Makes ribosomes that make proteinsMakes ribosomes that make proteins copyright cmassengale

14. 13 Smooth & Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth ER lacks ribosomes & makes proteins USED In the cell Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface & makes proteins to EXPORT copyright cmassengale

15. 14 Rod shape Site of Cellular respiration Cell Powerhouse Mitochondrion ( mitochondria ) copyright cmassengale

16. 15 Active cells like muscles have more mitochondria Burn sugars to produce energy ATP In Animal Cells: Mitochondria copyright cmassengale

17. 16 Lies immediately against the cell wall in plant cells Made of protein and phospholipids Selectively permeable Cell membrane Surrounding the Cell copyright cmassengale

18. 17 Living layer Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell Selectively permeable Cell membrane Cell or Plasma Membrane copyright cmassengale

19. 18 Nonliving layer Gives structure and shape to plant and bacterial cells Cell wall Cell Wall copyright cmassengale

20. 19 Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane Provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place Cytoplasm Cytoplasm of a Cell copyright cmassengale

21. 20 Contains organelles to carry out specific jobs Examples: chloroplast & mitochondrion Cytoplasm More on Cytoplasm copyright cmassengale

22. 21 Controls the normal activities of the cell Contain the DNA Bounded by a nuclear membrane Contains chromosomes Control Organelle Nucleus copyright cmassengale

23. 22 Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes that carry genes Genes control cell characteristics Nucleus More on the Nucleus copyright cmassengale

24. 23 Contain the green pigment chlorophyll Traps sunlight to make to make sugars (food) Process called photosynthesis Plant Cell Organelles Chloroplast copyright cmassengale

25. 24 Dead layer Large empty spaces present between cellulose fibers Freely permeable Cell wall Plant Cell copyright cmassengale

26. 25 Plant Cell Made of cellulose which forms very thin fibers Strong and rigid Found in plant cells Cell wall copyright cmassengale

27. 26 Protect and support the enclosed substances (protoplasm) Resist entry of excess water into the cell Give shape to the cell Cell wall Plant Cell copyright cmassengale

28. 27 Have a large central vacuole Surrounded by tonoplast Contains cell sap Sugars, proteins, minerals, wastes, & pigments Plant Cell Organelles Vacuole copyright cmassengale
