1 Basic Structure of a Cell

2 Organelles

3 Organelles Very small (Microscopic)
Perform various functions for a cell Found in the cytoplasm May or may not be membrane-bound.

4 What is Membrane-Bound?
Some organelles such as cilia, centrioles, and ribosomes are not isolated from the cytoplasm of the cell. "Membrane bound" organelles are completely surrounded by a plasma membrane, or even a double membrane. These organelles allow different sets of chemical reactions to be separated from each other so that they do not interfere.

5 Animal Cell Organelles
Ribosome (attached) Nucleolus Ribosome (free) Nucleus Cell Membrane Nuclear envelope Mitochondrion Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Centrioles Golgi apparatus

6 Plant Cell Organelles

7 Cell or Plasma Membrane
Composed of double layer of phospholipids and proteins Surrounds outside of ALL cells Controls what enters or leaves the cell Outside of cell Inside (cytoplasm) Cell membrane Proteins Protein channel Lipid bilayer Carbohydrate chains

8 Cell Membrane in Plants
Lies immediately against the cell wall in plant cells Pushes out against the cell wall to maintain cell shape

9 Cell Wall Supports and protects cell
Found outside of the cell membrane

10 Cell Wall Made of cellulose in plants
Made of peptidoglycan in bacteria Made of chitin in Fungi

11 Cytoplasm of a Cell Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane
Hold organelles in place In ALL cells

12 Nucleus Controls the normal activities of the cell
Contains the DNA in chromosomes Surrounded by a nuclear envelope (membrane) with pores

13 Nuclear Envelope Double membrane surrounding nucleus
Also called nuclear membrane Contains nuclear pores for materials to enter & leave nucleus Connected to the rough ER Nuclear pores

14 Inside the Nucleus - The genetic material (DNA) is found
DNA is condensed & wrapped around proteins forming as CHROMOSOMES in dividing cells DNA is spread out And appears as CHROMATIN in non-dividing cells

15 Nucleolus Inside nucleus Makes ribosomes that make proteins

16 Cytoskeleton Helps cell maintain cell shape
Also help move organelles around Made of microfilaments and microtubules MICROTUBULES MICROFILAMENTS

17 Centrioles Found only in animal cells Paired structures near nucleus
Made of bundle of microtubules Appear during cell division (mitosis) Help to pull chromosome pairs apart to opposite ends of the cell

18 Centrioles & the Mitotic Spindle
Made of MICROTUBULES

19 Mitochondrion (plural = mitochondria)
“Powerhouse” of the cell Generate cellular energy (ATP) More active cells like muscle cells have MORE mitochondria Both plants & animal cells have mitochondria Site of CELLULAR RESPIRATION (burning glucose)

20 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)
Has ribosomes on its surface Makes membrane proteins and proteins for transport out of the cell

21 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface Is attached to the ends of rough ER Makes lipids

22  Ribosomes Made of PROTEINS and rRNA “Protein factories” for cell
Join amino acids to make proteins Process called protein synthesis

23 Can be attached to Rough ER Be free (unattached) in the cytoplasm
Ribosomes Can be attached to Rough ER OR Be free (unattached) in the cytoplasm

24 Golgi Bodies Stacks of flattened sacs
Modify, sort, & package molecules from ER for storage OR transport out of cell Transport vesicle

25 Copyright Pearson Publishers
Golgi Animation Copyright Pearson Publishers

26 Golgi Animation Materials are transported from Rough ER to Golgi to the cell membrane by VESICLES

27 Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes
Break down food, bacteria, and worn out cell parts for cells

28 Cilia & Flagella Cilia are shorter and more numerous on cells
Flagella are longer and fewer (usually 1-3) on cells Both are made of Microtubules

29 Cell Movement with Cilia & Flagella

30 Pseudopodia Pseudopodia are temporary cytoplasm filled parts of the cell wall that are used by amoeba to move around or surround their prey to eat.

31 Vacuoles Fluid filled sacks for storage
Small or absent in animal cells Plant cells have a large Central Vacuole No vacuoles in bacterial cells

32 Contractile Vacuole Found in unicellular protists like paramecia
Regulate water intake by pumping out excess (homeostasis) Keeps the cell from lysing (bursting) Contractile vacuole animation

33 Chloroplasts Found only in producers
Use energy from sunlight to make own food (glucose) Photosynthesis
