A. 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?
4
Cells need a large surface area to volume ratio

Endosymbiosis : All organelles seem to share many properties with bacteria. Lynn Margulis proposed: endosymbiosis hypothesis: that ancient colonization of large bacteria (became the eukaryotic cell) engulfed smaller bacteria (became the mitochondria, chloroplast, etc.) Symbiosis = "living together". *Mitochondria & Chloroplasts have their own DNA Animation at Microbiological Concepts

cell biology is a huge area, and is divided into many branches that biologists specialize in...
1) Oncology 2) Microbiology 3) Genetics 4) Paleobiology 5) Pathology to name a few Here's an older video that compares prokaryotes and eukaryotes and discusses how cells evolved, film by the Phoenix Learning Group (17 minutes) And a shorter video on the main parts of The Cell
21
The Parts of the Cell
22
Cell Diagram Directions:
You will get a picture of a animal or plant cell, label the cell. label as many parts as you can remember Then look in your book to label the rest Write a 2-5 word description of the function of each part
23
II. Nucleus: Nucleoplasm: semifluid matrix Chromatin: uncoiled, fluid DNA and proteins Chromosomes: coiled, rodlike DNA structures Gene: unit of heredity located on DNA Nucleolus: dark region of chromatin where rRNA joins with proteins to form ribosomal subunits (parts to make ribosomes) nuclear envelope contains nuclear pores for some things to enter and exit
24
Several types of lysosomes
III. Endomembrane System: Includes: Nuclear envelope Membrane of the ER Golgi apparatus Several types of lysosomes

I am a reticulated python
I am a reticulated python. Ask me what I have to do with the endoplasmic reticulum. The word “reticulum” means net.
26
A. Nuclear Envelope/ Membrane: RNA leaves nucleus to instruct production of proteins
27
--functions in protein synthesis
B. Endoplasmic Reticulum (endoplasm= "within cytoplasm", reticulum= "little net" --divides cell into compartments --channels molecules through the cell's interior, like a little highway, make vesicles Figure 4.10a Rough ER --has ribosomes --functions in protein synthesis -- ER transports newly assembled proteins to the Golgi Apparatus Smooth ER --no ribosomes --mostly contains enzymes that act in lipid synthesis (such as hormones like estrogen and testosterone) Vary depending on location Figure 4.10
28
--the folded stacks are called cisternae
C. Golgi Apparatus: Delivery System -flattened stacks of membranes -functions in collection, modifying, packaging and distribution of molecules made in the cell and used elsewhere -unprocessed proteins enter the front end (cis) near the ER, and are exported near the cell membrane, at the back end (trans) --the folded stacks are called cisternae
29
Jobs of the Golgi Apparatus (aka Golgi Complex) 1
Jobs of the Golgi Apparatus (aka Golgi Complex) 1. separates proteins according to their destinations 2. modifies proteins (adds sugar and makes glycoproteins) 3. packages materials into vesicles which are exported outside the cell - secretion
30
Lysosomes - Intracellular Digestion Centers --contain high levels of degrading enzymes (to "lyse" means to dissolve) --recycle old and worn out cell parts - apoptosis "suicide sac” -digest other particles taken in by phagocytosis --this "food" is stored in food vacuoles, the lysosomes fuse with the vacuoles and release digestive enzymes
31
Lysosomes - Intracellular Digestion Centers
TAY-SACHS disease – What do lysosomes have to do with this deadly disease? Article and Video on Tay Sachs
32
Common in Jewish and Irish population
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by the absence or significantly reduced level of a enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase (Hex-A). Normally, Hex A is a digestive enzyme that is part of the lysosome. Without the correct amount of the Hex-A enzyme, a fatty substance or lipid called GM2 ganglioside accumulates abnormally in cells, especially in the nerve cells of the brain.
33
Ribosomes - Sites of Protein Synthesis
-each is composed of two subunits, one large and one small -mRNA is "read" by the ribosomes and amino acids are assembled into proteins -ribosomes are manufactured by the nucleolus, assembles by ER --polyribosomes – strings of ribosomes in the cytoplasm that work to make a protein
34
Free vs Bound Ribosome Free ribosomes: produce proteins that are used by the cell. - ex: for metabolism of food. Bound ribosomes: produce proteins that are transported out of the cell. - ex: for a specific function, such as digestive enzymes and polypeptide hormones.
35
Mitochondria --contains its own DNA, support for Endosymbiosis Theory
mitochondria divide before cell division, they are not synthesized like other cell parts --function: store energy for cell use. Energy is stored in the form of ATP - adenosine triphosphate -2 membranes, one smooth outer membrane, and an inner membrane folded into layers called cristae --Cristae has two compartments: the matrix and the intermembrane space
36
What happens if your mitochondria don’t work?
Mitochondrial Disease Video Why is mitochondrial disease so devastating to children? Consider the mitochondria have their own DNA separate from the parental DNA. How could you cure this disease?
37
QOD: Cells What parts of the cell are involved with protein production and what role does each part play? Compare and contrast plant and animal cells use a graphic organizer: (venn, tree map, etc) Plant Cell Animal cell Eukaryote Plasma Membrane Nucleus Ribosome ER Mitochondria Chloroplast Cell wall Cytoplasm Golgi Apparatus Vacuole Centrioles Fern Cells Muscle Cells Human Cells 1. What does the cell theory state? 2. Explain why cells are so small using the idea surface- area- to- volume ratio.
38
Focus on Plant Cells Figure 4.7b
39
Chloroplasts - Where Photosynthesis Takes Place Plants only
--has its own DNA, like mitochondrion --functions: to convert light energy to carbohydrates --carbohydrates then broken down in mitochondria to produce ATP
40
Parts of chloroplast --thylakoids are the individual disk shaped compartments
-- Grana: stack of thylakoids --stroma is the fluid surrounded the thylakoids *Chloroplasts are a type of plastid Chromoplasts – red, yellow and orange pigment Leucoplasts – colorless (potatoes)
41
Cytoskeleton- support system
a. Microfilaments (now called actin filament) – occur in bundles, form tracks within the cell for the movement of organelles, used to form pseudopods (ameba) b. Intermediate filaments - support membrane, cell to cell junctions c. Microtubules - (little pipe) radiate from the centrosome - form the spindle during cell division
42
Centrioles – used during cell division to move and separate chromosomes, only found in animal cell
43
Cytoskeleton How do cells maintain their shape? How do they move?
- pseudopod - cilia - flagella
44
Cilia (hair) & Flagella (whip)
Pseudopod – extensions of the cell that allow for movement (ameba), depend on actin filaments Cilia (hair) & Flagella (whip) --function in movement Arrangement of microtubules nine outer doublet microtubules surround a central pair of singlet microtubules
45
Hey....remember enzymes? The Peroxisome
Found in plant and animal cells, this organelle plays a critical role in normal cell functioning. In human cells, peroxisomes house some sixty enzymes, involved in metabolic processes such as bile acid, cholesterol, and plasmalogen biosynthesis, as well as ß-oxidation peroxisome produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product of its normal function. -To neutralize this potentially toxic compound, a peroxisome imports the hydrogen peroxide-metabolizing enzyme catalase, from the cytosol of the cell. Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen
46
Vacuole -- mainly storage or specific functions (contractile vacuole, fat vacuole) -- Plant cells have a CENTRAL VACUOLE - used for storage and help to maintain hydrostatic pressure
47

Functions eyepiece (ocular) – contains a lens capable of 10X magnification body tube-the long tube that holds the eyepiece and connects it to the objectives fine adjustment knob- brings objects slowly into fine focus nosepiece – rotates to change from one lense to another scanning objective - contains a lens capable of 4X magnification low power objective -- contains a lens capable of 10X magnification high power objective – contains a lens capable of 40X magnification diaphragm- controls the amount of light light – directs light into the scope. coarse adjustment knob – brings objects into rapid focus - DO NOT use with high power objective arm-part of the microscope that is held to carry the scope. stage - holds the slide base - supports the microscope, hold to carry.
66
Using Microscopes List the 6 steps to focus the microscope.
Place the prepared slide on the stage. Move the slide so the beam of light goes through the middle. Turn the coarse adjustment knob so the stage is all the way at the top. Use the scanning 4X power objective and the coarse adjustment knob, focus down until you see the object. Using the 10X power objective focus again until you see the object. To Focus on high power: Before you turn in the 40X objective: make sure the specimen is in the middle of the field of view. 6. Turn in the 40X objective. Focus only using the fine adjustment knob Turn off light and clean up when finished.

Rules for Microscope Drawings
1. All drawings in pencil. use color only when you see a specific color. 3. Draw a circle to represent the field of vision. 4. Label outside the circle, include magnification and name of what you are looking at. Be neat, label when possible Magnification will always be 40x, 100x, or 400x Magnification = Eyepiece X Lenses 10 4x, 10x, or 40x
69
Ameba with 40X lens Ameba 400X 10 X 40 = 400
70
Other Rules! Be very careful they are fragile You break, you buy (and microscopes are expensive) 3. Don’t force anything, if the scope is not working, stop and ask for help
