1
The Cell The basic unit of life
2
Engage: Cell History Cytology- study of cells
1665 English Scientist Robert Hooke Used a microscope to examine cork (plant) Hooke called what he saw "Cells"
3
Cell History Robert Brown Matthias Schleiden Theodor Schwann
discovered the nucleus in 1833. Matthias Schleiden German Botanist Matthias Schleiden 1838 ALL PLANTS "ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS". Theodor Schwann Also in 1838, discovered that animals were made of cells
4
Cell History Rudolf Virchow
1855, German Physician " THAT CELLS ONLY COME FROM OTHER CELLS". His statement debunked "Theory of Spontaneous Generation"
5
Cell Theory The COMBINED work of Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow make up the modern CELL THEORY.
6
The Cell Theory states that:
1. All living things are composed of a cell or cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of life. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells.

Endoplasmic reticulum
Compare and Contrast Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Cell membrane Contain DNA Ribosomes Cytoplasm Nucleus Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Lysosomes Vacuoles Mitochondria Cytoskeleton
8
Explain: Cell Diversity
Cells within the same organism show Enormous Diversity in: Size Shape Internal Organization
9
1. Cell Size Female Egg - largest cell in the human body; seen without the aid of a microscope Most cells are visible only with a microscope.
10
Cells are small for 2 Reasons
Limited in size by the RATIO between their Outer Surface Area and Their Volume. A small cell has more SURFACE AREA than a large cell for a GIVEN VOLUME OF CYTOPLASM. This is important because the nutrients, oxygen, and other materials a cell requires must enter through it surface. As a cell grows larger at some point its surface area becomes too Small to allow these materials to enter the cell quickly enough to meet the cell's need.
11
Cells are Small Reason 2:
THE CELL'S NUCLEUS (THE BRAIN) CAN ONLY CONTROL A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LIVING, ACTIVE CYTOPLASM.
12
2. Cell Shape Diversity of form reflects a diversity of function.
THE SHAPE OF A CELL DEPENDS ON ITS FUNCTION.
13
3. Internal Organization
Cell membrane Cytoplasm Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell Nucleus Organelles
14
Prokaryotic Examples ONLY Bacteria
15
Two Kinds: Plant and Animal
EUKARYOTIC CELLS Two Kinds: Plant and Animal
16
Internal Organization
Cells contain ORGANELLES. Are cell components that PERFORM SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS FOR THE CELL.
17
Cellular Organelles 1.) The Plasma membrane The boundary of the cell.
Composed of three distinct layers. It functions like a bouncer at a club. It controls what goes into and comes out of a cell
18
2.) The Nucleus It is the Brain of the Cell
Surrounded by a porous membrane called the nuclear envelope. Contains thin fibers of DNA and protein called Chromatin. Rod Shaped Chromosomes Contains a small round nucleolus produces ribosomal RNA which makes ribosomes.
19
3.) Ribosomes Small non-membrane bound organelles.
Contain two sub units Site of protein synthesis. It is the protein factory of the cell Either free floating or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
20
4.) Endoplasmic Reticulum
Complex network of transport channels. Two types: Smooth- Has no ribosomes. Makes lipids for the cell Rough – Has ribosomes Transports proteins to the golgi apparatus.
21
5.) Golgi Apparatus A series of flattened sacs that modifies, packages, stores, and transports materials out of the cell. Works with the ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum.
22
6.) Lysosomes Is a Recycling Center
Animal Cells only Is a Recycling Center It recycles cellular trash It is a membrane bound organelle containing a variety of enzymes. Acts like the garbage collector of a cell Help digest food particles inside or out side the cell.
23
7.) Mitochondrion It’s the size of a bacterium Contains its own DNA
Produces energy for the cell in the form of ATP
24
8.) Centrioles Found only in animal cells
Have a role in building cilia and flagella Play a role in cellular reproduction
25
9.) Cytoskeleton It is the framework of the cell
Contains small microfilaments and larger microtubules. They support the cell, giving it its shape and help with the movement of its organelles.
26
Cytoskeleton Cell membrane Endoplasmic reticulum Microtubule
Microfilament Ribosomes Mitochondrion
27
10.) The Chloroplast Found in plants and algae.
Makes food for the cell using energy from sunlight.
28
11.) The Vacuole Sacs that help in food digestion, storage and helping the cell maintain its water balance. Found mostly in plants and protists.
29
12.) Cell Wall Extra structure surrounding its plasma membrane in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria. Made of cellulose in Plants Made of chitin in Fungi Made of peptidoglycan in some Bacteria
30
11.) Cilia &Flagella They are hair like structures that are attached to the membrane Their main functions are basically to move things along. Cilia moves substances along whilst flagella moves the whole cell along.
31

34
Cell Types (Review) Eukaryotic
1. Contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. 2. Rod shaped chromosomes 3. Found in all kingdoms except the Eubacteria and Archaebacteria Prokaryotic Does not contain a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles. Circular chromosome Found only in the Eubacteria and Archaebacteria Kingdoms
