1
Objectives List scientists who contributed to the cell theory List the components of the cell theory Compare prokaryote and eukaryote cells Label a plant and an animal cell Know the functions of cell organelles
2
Early Contributions Robert Hooke - First person to see cells, he was looking at cork and noted that he saw "a great many boxes. (1665) Anton van Leeuwenhoek - Observed living cells in pond water, which he called "animalcules" (1673)
3
Theodore Schwann - zoologist who observed tissues of animals had cells (1839) Mattias Schleiden - botanist, observed tissues of plants contained cells ( 1845) Rudolf Virchow - also reported that every living thing is made of up vital units, known as cells. He predicted that cells come from other cells. (1850 )
4
The Cell Theory 1. Every living organism is made of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function. It is the smallest unit that can perform life functions. 3. All cells arise from pre-existing cells. *Why is the Cell Theory called a Theory and not a Fact?
5
5 Cell-->Tissue-->Organ-->Organ System 5 Text
6
Cell Features ALL cell have these parts Ribosomes – make protein for use by the organism Cytoplasm – fluid material within cell DNA – genetic material Cytoskeleton – internal framework of cell Cell Membrane – outer boundary, some things can cross the cell membrane
7
Comprehension Checkpoint Answer true or false Robert Hooke was the first person to see cells. Bacteria cells have a cell membrane. The Cell Theory was developed by a single scientist. Plant cells have cytoplasm. Cells taken from fungi do not have DNA. Cells can only come from pre-existing cells. It only took five years to develop the Cell Theory.
8
Prokaryote Cells The first cells to inhabit the earth Simple cells Bacteria These cells do NOT have a nucleus, their DNA is circular and floats in the cytoplasm Some bacteria have a tail-like structure called a flagella, that helps it to move. A capsule surrounds some bacteria and helps them avoid the body’s immune system

12
Eukaryotic Cells Cells found in plants, animals, protists, and fungi The cell is composed of 4 main parts: 1.Cell membrane 2.Cytoplasm 3.Nucleus – “control center” of cell, houses DNA 4.Organelles – small structures that carry out specific functions (“little organs”)
13
Nucleus Usually found at center of cell Has a nuclear membrane & nuclear pores Contains cell’s DNA in one of 2 forms o chromatin - DNA bound to protein (non-dividing cell) o chromosomes - condensed structures seen in dividing cell Also contains an organelle called nucleolus - which makes the cell’s ribosomes
14
14 Ribosomes made of ribosomal RNA and proteins has two subunits responsible for protein synthesis Free ribosomes- suspended in cytoplasm Bound ribosomes- attached to organelles (rough ER) 14
15
Cell Organelles Lysosome – Contains digestive enzymes, breaks things down, "suicide sac” Endoplasmic Reticulum – Transport, "intracellular highway". -Rough ER contains many ribosomes & is involves in protein synthesis -Smooth ER ribosomes not found on surface
16
16 Smooth and Rough ER 16
17
Cell Organelles Golgi Apparatus – processes, packages and secretes proteins. It is comparable to a factory or a post office. *A vesicle forms with Golgi to transport substances outside cell.
18
Cell Organelles Mitochondria – this is the cell’s energy center. It turns food into a chemical energy called ATP The mitochondria is sometimes called the “powerhouse” of the cell
19
19 Chloroplast only in PLANT CELLS site of photosynthesis (uses energy from the sun to make food for the plant/organism) double membrane organelle 19
20
Organelles With DNA Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA (separate from the nucleus) This supports the ENDOSYMBIOSIS THEORY which states that eukaryotic cells evolved when prokaryote cells engulfed or absorbed other cells.
21
21 Cytoskeleton – Helps cell maintain support & shape; movement a. microtubules-hollow structures; also help build cilia and flagella b. microfilaments-threadlike c. centrioles-only in animal cells; used during cell division (paired)
23
Vacuole – storage area for water and other substaces, plant cells usually have a large central vacuole
24
24 Cytoplasm made of a semifluid substance called the cytosol provides a controlled environment for the organelles, maintains consistency 24
25
CELL MEMBRANE Selectively permeable ; it regulates what comes into the cell and what leaves the cell It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids with proteins embedded throughout
26
Protein Production The cell is like a factory. Its product is protein which goes to body to serve different functions. 1.DNA has instructions to build protein 2.These instructions are sent to ribosomes 3.The ribosomes build protein and send it through ER 4.The proteins are delivered to golgi where they are completed and “tagged” for export outside cell

THE ANIMAL CELL

29
Plant Cells Have additional structures CELL WALL – surrounds membrane & provides additional support CHLOROPLASTS – contain green pigment, function in photosynthesis CENTRAL VACUOLE – large water container in center of cell
30
