1
Cell types, structures and functions
2
Good morning! Get your journals out On the next page of your journal title it Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes On the next line write: EQ: How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes a like and different? Make sure that you put prokaryote and eukaryote in your table of contents!
3
Cells exploration guide
With your group look at the 3 pictures of cells Use the pictures to fill in the chart Write YES if it is there Write NO if it is not there Highlight all of the boxes that say YES – this will help later Answer the questions on the back Tape/glue this on the left side of the page
4
Abiotic vs Biotic Bio = life Biotic = living organisms Examples:
Abiotic = not living
5
What are the Characteristics of Life?
6
Biotic or Abiotic?
7
Biotic or Abiotic?
8
Biotic or Abiotic?
9
Biotic or Abiotic?
10
How do we define life? Cell Theory
All living organisms are composed of cells Cells are the smallest structures that perform the functions of life All cells come from preexisting cells
11
What do all cells have in common?
All cells have common structures Cell membrane Ribosomes Cytoplasm Cells contain DNA Cells are the basic unit of life
12
Make a three column chart
13
Two Cell Types Prokaryotic Pro = before Eukaryotic Kary = nucleus
Eu = true A cell type before the evolution of a nucleus Cell with a true nucleus Example = bacteria Example = animal
14
Cell History Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Ancient cells Modern cells
Evolved 3.5 bya Modern cells Evolved 1.4 bya Stromatolites, ancient bacterial formations
15
Cell Size Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Smaller cells Larger cells 1 to 10 µm
16
Cell Size Comparison
17
Cell Organization Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Simple cells with all parts in “one room” Complex cells with many compartments
18
Location of DNA Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
DNA is loose in the cytoplasm (no nucleus) DNA is protected in the nucleus
19
Presence of Organelles
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Ribosomes only Many, membrane – bound organelles
20
Type of Organisms Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Bacteria only! Plants Animals
Fungi Protists
21
Size of Organisms Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Always unicellular (single cell) Mostly multicellular (more than one cell) Bacteria are cell size Range from cell size to the size of a giant tree
22
What are Viruses? Viruses are not considered living because:
They are not made up of cells They need a host to reproduce Viruses are much smaller than cells Viruses and cells both contain DNA
23
Gallery Walk In your notebook write down if the cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic A B C D
24
Prokaryote or Eukaryote?
It’s time to play is it a Prokaryote, Eukaryote or both!
25
Card sort Work in partners and match which cards are prokaryotes and which ones are eukaryotes
26
Venn Diagram Use or cell exploration guide and your notes and make a Venn Diagram in your journal Use one whole page Animal Cell Plant Cell
27
What are organelles? An organelle is a “mini organ” inside a eukaryotic cell that carries out a specific function
28
Make a T chart One side says organelle One side says Function
29
Cell Membrane Lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell
Embedded proteins control what materials enter and leave the cell
30
Cytoplasm Jelly – like fluid inside the cell membrane
Supports and holds all the organelles
31
Ribosomes Where proteins are assembled Translate genes into proteins
32
Cell Wall Support, strength, and protection
Found outside plasma membrane In prokaryotes and plant cells Made out of cellulose Bacteria Cell Wall Plant Cell Wall
33
Flagella/Cilia Extensions of the plasma membrane that allow for movement
34
Nucleus Membrane bound area where chromosomes are found
Holds the DNA, or genetic information
35
Nucleolus Dense region found in the nucleus where ribosomal RNA is made
36
Mitochondria Produce ATP (energy) for the cell during cellular respiration C6H12O6 + 6O H2O + 6CO2 + ATP Composed of inner and outer membrane Powerhouse of the cell
37
Chloroplasts Contains chlorophyll Site of photosynthesis reactions
6H2O + 6CO C6H12O6 + 6O2 Plant cells only sunlight
38
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Membranous stacks with rough and smooth sections Participates in making (synthesizing) proteins and membranes
39
Golgi Apparatus Modifies and packages proteins for secretion by budding of vesicles
40
Lysosomes Contains enzymes that break down cell wastes and foods
Recycle old cell parts Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes
41
Vacuole Stores water and pigments in plant cells
42
Centrioles Used to organize chromosomes during cell division using spindle fibers
