Typical Parts of Cells 3B
2
Objectives I will be able to list the three basic parts of all cells.
I will be able to describe three cellular boundaries and identify organisms that have or do not have each boundary. I will be able to describe the structures and functions of cellular organelles. I will be able to explain the role of the nucleus in a cell.
3
All cells have three basic parts:
Parts of Cells All cells have three basic parts: Cellular boundaries Cytoplasm Genetic material (DNA)
4
Cell membrane Cell wall Capsule Cellular Boundaries All cells
Some cells Capsule Few cells, mostly bacteria
5
cytoplasm All the material, except the nucleus & cellular boundaries, inside a cell. It is a thick fluid that contains cytoplasmic organelles (parts of a cell that carry on many of the functions needed to keep the cell alive).
6
cytoplasm
7
nicknamed "the powerhouse of the cell“
mitochondria nicknamed "the powerhouse of the cell“ bean-shaped or rod-shaped structures made of two layers of unit membranes Enzymes transform small food molecules into usable energy
8
mitochondria the outer membrane is smooth inner membrane is folded repeatedly into ridges the folds are called cristae. On the inner membrane are the enzymes that release usable energy (ATP) from small food molecules
9
mitochondria where energy-releasing reactions occur
10
mitochondria Depending upon the energy demands of the cell, the mitochondria many be large and numerous with many cristae (as in muscle cells) or they may be small and relatively few with only a few cristae.
11
Muscle cell mitochondria
12
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs that serve a variety of functions in the cell. (it connects the nuclear envelope to the cell membrane) Functions as the cell’s delivery system There are two regions of the ER that differ in both structure and function.
13
Endoplasmic reticulum
rough ER - ER with ribosomes attached (site of protein production) smooth ER - ER lacking ribosomes (It makes lipids like cholesterol and helps remove harmful substances from a cell)
14
Endoplasmic reticulum
15
a cellular organelle that directs the assembling of proteins
Ribosomes a cellular organelle that directs the assembling of proteins nickname "protein factories“ function - protein synthesis (direct the assembling of proteins)
16
found on ER and scattered throughout the cytoplasm
Ribosomes found on ER and scattered throughout the cytoplasm gets coded instructions from nucleus for making proteins
17
Liver Cell Ribosomes
18
Collect, process, and move chemicals
Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for their specific functions and packages the proteins into vesicles. Collect, process, and move chemicals first seen in 1898 by Camillo Golgi
19
Golgi body
20
nickname "containers of the cell"
Vacuoles a membrane-bound sac that contains food, water, wastes, or other materials within a cell nickname "containers of the cell" small vacuoles are sometimes called vesicles
21
vesicles Vesicles are organelles that transport substances from one area of a cell to another area of a cell.
22
Vacuoles
23
Lysosomes an organelle that contains digestive enzymes digest invading substances or large food substances occasionally its enzymes dissolve away old or no longer needed cellular structures (demolition crew) Dispose of foreign substances
24
Lysosomes
25
the organelle in which photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplasts a cellular organelle that contains chlorophyll(other pigments are in plastids) the organelle in which photosynthesis occurs Contain chlorophyll to capture energy from sunlight
26
Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles that use light energy and make food—a sugar called glucose—from water and carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis.
27
Chloroplasts
28
sometimes called "the control center of the cell"
nucleus sometimes called "the control center of the cell" the cellular region that contains the chromosomes
29
Nuclear envelope The nucleus has a double unit membrane around it called the nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope is a porous, two-membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus.
30
nucleus The nuclear envelope has large pores - permitting the passage of material between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm.
31
protein rich fluid inside the nuclear envelope
nucleoplasm protein rich fluid inside the nuclear envelope
32
the nucleic acid that carries genetic information
DNA the nucleic acid that carries genetic information DNA in the nucleus is organized into structures called chromosomes.
33
nucleus Inside the nucleus are chromosomes - contains the coded information for making various parts of the cell. Chromosomes are made up of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
34
nucleolus looks like a nucleus inside the nucleus (structure where ribosomes are assembled)
35
Liver cell nucleus
36
Organelles that manufacure
Ribosomes Smooth ER
37
Organelles for processing energy
Mitochondria Chloroplasts
38
Organelles for processing, storing, and transporting molecules
Golgi apparatus Vesicles Vacuoles
39
Cell organelles
40
Cell movement - flagellum
Flagella: a few longer hairs
41
Cell movement - flagellum
42
Cell movement - cillia Cilia: many, short hairs.
43
Cell movement - cillia
