1
The Cell
2
Principles of Cell Theory
All living things are made of cells Smallest living unit is the cell All cells arise from preexisting cells
3
Cells are the smallest functioning unit of life
Cells are the smallest functioning unit of life. All organisms are made of at least one cell. (This means cells are alive! They reproduce, respond to stimuli, require energy, etc.)
4
Specialized cells combine to form tissues which combine to form organs (organs combine to form organ systems)
5
The Cell is the Basic Unit of Life
Cell An individual unit of life. Tissue A group of specialized cells. Organ A group of tissues that perform a special function.
6
Representative Animal Cell
7
Representative Plant Cell
8
Cell Membrane Contains cell contents
Double layer of phospholipids & proteins
9
Cell Walls Found in plants, fungi, & many protists
Surrounds plasma membrane
10
Cytoplasm Viscous fluid containing organelles components of cytoplasm
Interconnected filaments & fibers Fluid = cytosol Organelles (not nucleus) storage substances
11
Nucleus Control center of cell Double membrane Contains Chromosomes
Nucleolus
12
DNA Hereditary material Chromosomes Chromatin DNA Protiens
Form for cell division Chromatin
13
Nucleolus Most cells have 2 or more Directs synthesis of RNA
Forms ribosomes
14
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Helps move substances within cells Network of interconnected membranes Two types Rough endoplasmic reticulum Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
15
Golgi Apparatus Involved in synthesis of plant cell wall
Packaging & shipping station of cell
16
Golgi Apparatus Function
1. Molecules come in vesicles 2. Vesicles fuse with Golgi membrane 3. Molecules may be modified by Golgi
17
Golgi Apparatus Function (Continued)
4. Molecules pinched-off in separate vesicle 5. Vesicle leaves Golgi apparatus 6. Vesicles may combine with plasma membrane to secrete contents
19
Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes Functions Aid in cell renewal
Break down old cell parts Digests invaders
20
Vacuoles Membrane bound storage sacs
More common in plants than animals Contents Water Food wastes
21
Mitochondria Break down fuel molecules (cellular respiration)
Glucose Fatty acids Release energy ATP
22
Chloroplasts Derived form photosynthetic bacteria
Solar energy capturing organelle
23
Animal Cells
24
Plant cells
25
Key differences Plant cells contain: Cell walls (rigid, for structure)
Chloroplasts (for photosynthesis)
26
