1
Cell Structure & Function
2
Cell Theory All living things are made up of cells.
Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.
3
Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
4
Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Bacteria Red Blood Cell
Nerve Cell
5
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
6
Prokaryotic Do not have structures surrounded by membranes (no nucleus [PRO NO], mitochondria, chloroplast, ER, Golgi Few internal structures One-celled organisms, Bacteria Do have: DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane
7
Eukaryotic Contain organelles surrounded by membranes
Most living organisms [LIKE EU AND ME] Plant Animal
8
Most Important Part of a Cell
A) Chloroplast A) Golgi apparatus C C A B) Vacuole Winner!! B) Cell membrane Endoplasmic reticulum A) Cell walls *Matt and Melissa = cell wall vs flagella Battle—basketball tourney style/single elimination -Group assigned one part of a cell convince class that you have the most important part of the cell by 1) telling us how your part is important or 2) bash your opponent—to win, you have to compete against all the other parts you could face -vote with clickers Now that you’ve learned about all the different parts of a cell, let’s use our imagination to create our very own favorite cell… B D D B) Mitochondria B) Flagella

“Typical” Animal Cell
10
“Typical” Plant Cell
11
Cell Parts Organelles
12
Surrounding the Cell
13
Plasma Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell Phospholipid bilayer
14
Cell Wall Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria
Supports & protects cells In plant cells, it is made of cellulose
15
Inside the Cell
16
Nucleus Directs cell activities
Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane Contains genetic material - DNA
17
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
18
Chromosomes In nucleus Made of DNA
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics
19
Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to make ribosomes
20
Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane
21
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Moves materials around in cell Smooth type: lacks ribosomes…synthesizes lipids Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface …synthesizes proteins
24
Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands Make proteins
Found on membranes & floating throughout the cell
25
Mitochondria Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates
26
Golgi Bodies Packages and sorts proteins for export from the cell
Move materials within the cell Move materials out of the cell
28
Lysosome Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes
30
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal
Contains water solution Help plants maintain shape
31
Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll
Where photosynthesis takes place
