1
Cell Parts and Cell Diversity
Essential Standard Bio..1.1 Understand the relationship between the structures and functions of cells and their organelles.
2
Cell Parts Organelle – cell part that performs vital functions for the cell Some are membrane-bound All Cells have Cytoplasm/Cytosol Cell membrane Ribosomes DNA
3
Cell Membrane Semipermeable membrane that only certain molecules or ions pass through (so it is selective) Found around all cells Made of phospholipids
4
Cell Membrane Composed of phospholipid bilayer Fluid Mosaic Model
Polar phosphate head (hydrophilic) 2 nonpolar, fatty acid tails (hydrophobic) Fluid Mosaic Model Membrane Proteins Peripheral Proteins Integral Proteins Carbohydrates Steroids
5
Cytoplasm/Cytosol Cytoplasm/ – watery substance within the cell that keeps organelles in place
6
Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell; produces ATP (energy)
Has double membrane More cristae (inner membrane folds) = more ATP production Has DNA Found in all eukaryotes
7
Ribosomes Site of protein production Has no membranes
Found in all cells Made of ribosomal RNA
8
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
The ER is found in eukaryotes Rough ER – studded with ribosomes; prepares proteins for export Smooth ER – makes vesicles, synthesizes steroids, regulates calcium levels, and breaks down toxins
9
Golgi Apparatus Processes and packages substances produced by cell
Proteins arrive and leave in vesicles Has a membrane Found in eukaryotes
10
Lysosome Digests molecules, old organelles, and foreign substances
Contains digestive enzymes Has membrane Found in animals
11
Cytoskeleton Network of long protein strands in cytosol; support movement and division Made up of microfilaments and microtubules (proteins) Has no membrane Found in all cells
12
Nucleus Stores DNA, manufactures ribosomes and RNA
Nucleolus – where RNA is synthesized Has nuclear envelope = double membrane Found in eukaryotes
13
Cell Wall Supports the structure of and protects the cell
Made of carbohydrates Found in plants, bacteria, some protists, and fungi Plants – cellulose Bacteria – peptidoglycan funcgi - chitin
14
Vacuoles Central Vacuole – in plant cells; stores water
Food Vacuole – in animal cells; stores food and waste Contractile Vacuole – in animal cells; maintains water balance
15
Chloroplasts Stores food or pigments to utilize for photosynthesis
Thylakoids – membranes within chloroplasts – site where chlorophyll sits Double membrane Found in plants and some protists
16
Cilia, Flagella, and Pseudopods
Cilia – hair-like extensions that aids in movement and feeding Flagella – long, whip-like tail that propels cell through environment Pseudopods – cytoplasmic extensions that aid in movement and capturing food
17
Cell Diversity Human body contains over 200 different types of cells
Most of them have the same DNA even though they look and act very different
18
Cell Diversity Shape – cells shape reflects diversity of different functions Examples Skin cells – flat and layered – for protection Nerve cells – extensions – for communication Blood cells – round – for transport
19
Cell Diversity Size – cells are limited in size by ratio between surface area and volume Cells grow larger, more nutrient demand
20
Cell Types Prokaryotic Cells – “before nucleus” Ex. Bacteria
Unicellular Contains cell membrane, ribosomes, circular DNA (plasmids). No nucleus or membrane bound organelles Ex. Bacteria
21
Cell Types Eukaryotic Cells – “good nucleus”
Unicellular or Multicellular Contains cell membrane and membrane bound organelles Has nucleus – contains DNA Ex. Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi
