Mid-Term Exam Review
2
Microscopes provide windows to the world of the cell
The light microscope enables us to see the overall shape and structure of a cell
3
Electron microscopes~ can view ultrastructures of cells
They use a beam of electrons instead of light The greater resolving power of electron microscopes
4
The Cell Theory Robert Hooke (1600’s/ English)) used a compound light microscope to study cork, the dead cells of oak bark. Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. Schleiden & Schwann (1830;s, German) their observations & conclusions are summarized as the cell theory
5
The cell theory is made up of three main ideas:
1.All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of organization of organisms. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
6
Why study cells? Cells Tissues Organs Bodies
bodies are made up of cells cells do all the work of life!
7
The Jobs of Cells Cells have 3 main jobs make energy make proteins
need energy for all activities need to clean up waste produced while making energy make proteins proteins do all the work in a cell, so we need lots of them make more cells for growth to replace damaged or diseased cells Our organelles do all these jobs!
8
2 Types of cells plant cells animal cells bacteria cells Prokaryote
- no organelles Eukaryotes - organelles plant cells animal cells
9
Prokaryotic cells-Bacteria
small, relatively simple cells They do not have a nucleus enclosed by a plasma membrane and is usually encased in a rigid cell wall Inside the cell are its DNA and other parts
10
Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments
All other life forms are made up of one or more eukaryotic cells These are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells Eukaryotes are distinguished by the presence of a true nucleus The cytoplasm contains organelles Many organelles have membranes as boundaries These compartmentalize the interior of the cell This allows the cell to carry out a variety of activities simultaneously
11
Animal Cell
12
Plant Cell
13
Animal vs. Plant Cells What are the main differences? Animal ONLY has
Extracellular matrix Flagellum or cilia Centrioles Cellular Junctions Gap junctions Tight Junctions Desmosomes
14
Animal vs. Plant Cells What are the main differences? Plant ONLY has
Large Central Vacuole Chloroplasts Rigid Cell Wall Plasmodesmata
15
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes ONLY have? Nucleoid Pili – attachment structure Cell Wall with peptidoglycan
16
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes ONLY have? Membrane Bound Organelles Cytoskeleton Cellular Junctions Centrioles (No mitosis in prokaryotes)
17
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
What is common to both? Chromosomes Ribosomes Cell membrane (Plasma membrane) Cytosol (Cytoplasm)
18
Cell sizes vary with their function
Cell size and shape relate to function
19
Cell size comparison most bacteria eukaryotic cells Animal cell
Bacterial cell Animal cell most bacteria 1-10 microns eukaryotic cells microns micron = micrometer = 1/1,000,000 meter diameter of human hair = ~20 microns
20
Natural laws limit cell size
a cell must be large enough to house the parts it needs to survive and reproduce The maximum size of a cell is limited by the amount of surface needed to obtain nutrients from the environment and dispose of wastes
21
A small cell has a greater ratio of surface area to volume than a large cell of the same shape
Total surface area of 27 small cubes = 16,200 µm2 Surface area of one large cube = 5,400 µm2
22
Organelles Organelles do the work of cells
each structure has a job to do keeps the cell alive; keeps you alive They’re like mini-organs! Model Animal Cell
23
1. Cells need power! Making energy
to fuel daily life & growth, the cell must… take in food & digest it take in oxygen (O2) make ATP remove waste organelles that do this work… cell membrane lysosomes vacuoles & vesicles mitochondria ATP
24
Cell membrane Function Structure separates cell from outside
phosphate “head” Function separates cell from outside controls what enters or leaves cell O2, CO2, food, H2O, nutrients, waste recognizes signals from other cells allows communication between cells Structure double layer of fat phospholipid bilayer receptor molecules proteins lipid “tail”
25
cytoplasm jelly-like material holding organelles in place cell membrane cell boundary controls movement of materials in & out recognizes signals
26
Vacuoles & vesicles Function Structure moving material around cell
storage Structure membrane sac small food particle vacuole filled w/ digestive enzymes vesicle vesicle filled w/ digested nutrients
27
Vacuoles have diverse functions in cell maintenance
membrane-bound sacs with varied functions. Food vacuoles, from phagocytosis, fuse with lysosomes. Contractile vacuoles, found in freshwater protists, pump excess water out of the cell. Central vacuoles are found in many mature plant cells.
28
Food & water storage plant cells animal cells food vacuole
central vacuole animal cells contractile vacuole
29

30
Lysosomes Function digest food clean up & recycle Structure
used to make energy clean up & recycle digest broken organelles Structure membrane sac of digestive enzymes Lysosomes lysosomes digesting broken organelles vacuole small food particle digesting food
31
A Job for Lysosomes 6 weeks 15 weeks
32
Connection: Abnormal lysosomes can cause fatal diseases
Lysosomal storage diseases are hereditary They interfere with other cellular functions Examples: Pompe’s disease, Tay-Sachs disease
33
ENERGY-CONVERTING ORGANELLES
34
Mitochondria ATP Function Structure in both animal & plant cells
make ATP energy from cellular respiration sugar + O2 ATP fuels the work of life Structure double membrane ATP in both animal & plant cells
35
cytoplasm jelly-like material holding organelles in place lysosome food digestion garbage disposal & recycling vacuole & vesicles transport inside cells storage mitochondria make ATP energy from sugar + O2 cell membrane cell boundary controls movement of materials in & out recognizes signals
36
Plants make energy two ways!
ATP Mitochondria make energy from sugar + O2 cellular respiration sugar + O2 ATP Chloroplasts make energy + sugar from sunlight photosynthesis sunlight + CO2 ATP & sugar ATP = active energy sugar = stored energy build leaves & roots & fruit out of the sugars sugar ATP
37
Chloroplasts found in plants and some protists
convert solar energy to chemical energy in sugars
38
Mitochondria are in both cells!!
animal cells plant cells chloroplast mitochondria
39
cytoplasm jelly-like material around organelles central vacuole storage: food, water or waste cell wall support mitochondria make ATP in cellular respiration lysosome digestion & clean up chloroplast make ATP & sugars in photosynthesis cell membrane cell boundary controls movement of materials in & out recognizes signals
40
2. Cells need workers = proteins!
Making proteins to run daily life & growth, the cell must… read genes (DNA) build proteins structural proteins (muscle fibers, hair, skin, claws) enzymes (speed up chemical reactions) signals (hormones) & receptors organelles that do this work… nucleus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi apparatus
41
Proteins do all the work!
one of the major job of cells is to make proteins, because… proteins do all the work! structural enzymes signals receptors DNA proteins cells

3. Cells need to make more cells!
Making more cells to replace, repair & grow, the cell must… copy their DNA make extra organelles divide the new DNA & new organelles between 2 new “daughter” cells organelles that do this work… nucleus centrioles
52
Centrioles Function Structure help coordinate cell division
only in animal cells Structure one pair in each cell

54
THE CYTOSKELETON The cell’s internal skeleton that functions in cell structural support and motility A network of protein fibers makes up the cytoskeleton
55
three main types of fibers in the cytoskeleton: microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Microfilaments enable cells to change shape and move Intermediate filaments reinforce the cell and anchor certain organelles Microtubules give the cell rigidity provide anchors for organelles act as tracks for organelle movement INTERMEDIATE FILAMENT MICROFILAMENT MICROTUBULE
56
Cilia and flagella locomotor appendages that protrude from certain cells Clusters of microtubules drive the whipping action of these organelles
57
Cell Summary Cells have 3 main jobs make energy make proteins
need food + O2 cellular respiration & photosynthesis need to remove wastes make proteins need instructions from DNA need to chain together amino acids & “finish” & “ship” the protein make more cells need to copy DNA & divide it up to daughter cells Our organelles do all those jobs!
