2.1 The Structure & Functions of Eukaryotic Cells

Learning Goals From this power point ( and using section 2
Learning Goals From this power point ( and using section 2.1 in the text) 1. compare prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 2. explain the following cell structures AND be able to identify them in plant and animal cell diagrams. nucleus (DNA, nucleolus) rough & smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus (steps in protein excretion), lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, vesicles, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell wall, cytoskeleton, cilia, flagella, cell membrane (fluid mosaic model, phospholipids & membrane proteins)
3
Review: Defining a Cell
A cell is a confined system of potentially self perpetuating linked organic reactions that are catalyzed step-wise by enzymes.
4
Review: Principles of The Cell Theory
All living things are made of 1 or more cells Smallest living unit of structure and function of all organisms is the cell All cells arise from pre-existing cells (this principle discarded the idea of spontaneous generation)
5
Review: Characteristics of Living Cells
Very complex Very small Self-replicating Autonomous/semiautonomous Homeostatic
6
There are 2 Cell Types Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
8
Prokaryotic Cells First cell type on earth (chemosynthetic)
All are single celled (ie Bacteria)
9
Prokaryotic Cells No membrane bound structures inside
Nucleoid instead of nucleus (region of DNA concentration). Organelles not bound by membranes
10
Eukaryotic Cells Internal membrane bound organelles
Cytoplasm (cytosol, organelles + molecule & ions ) for metabolism Cell Membrane (Phospholipid bilayer) Can be Single or Multi-celled Protozoan
11
Eukaryotic Animal Cell
12
Animal Cell Micrograph
13
Eukaryotic Plant Cell
14
Plant Cell Micrograph
15
Cytoplasm Viscous fluid containing organelles components of cytoplasm
Interconnected protein filaments & fibers Fluid = cytosol Organelles (not nucleus) storage substances
16
Nucleus Control center of the cell Contains nucleoplasm
Wrapped by a nuclear envelope which is a double membrane. Nuclear pore complexes form openings in nuclear envelope Contains Chromosomes (DNA) Nucleolus
17
Nucleus Micrograph
18
Chromosomes (DNA) Hereditary material Chromosomes - DNA + proteins
Short, thick strands form for cell division Chromatin long, thin strands form for interphase DNA is transcribed & translated into protein to express hereditary traits
19
Nucleolus Non-membrane bound Contains RNA & proteins
Most cells have 2 or more. Directs synthesis of RNA Forms ribosomes
