CELLS!!!
2
Cell Scientists Robert Hooke Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Looked at cork under a microscope 1st to use the term “cell” Anton van Leeuwenhoek Looked at pond water 1st to see living cells Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow Came up with cell theory
3
Cell Theory All living things are composed of one or more cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all organisms Cells come only from the reproduction of pre-existing cells
4
Prokaryotes Appeared 3.5 bya Primitive Small in size
No membrane-bound organelles Smaller ribosomes Single, circular DNA Ex: bacteria
5
Eukaryotes Appeared 1.5 bya Complex Contain membrane-bound organelles
Larger ribosomes Paired, linear chromosomes NUCLEUS!
7
Parts of a Eukaryotic Cell
8
Plasma Membrane Also called the cell membrane
Separates cell from its environment
9
Plasma Membrane Semi-permeable
allows only certain molecules to enter or exit
10
Plasma Membrane Phospholipid bilayer Fluid-mosaic model
Embedded with proteins Fluid-mosaic model
11
Nucleus “Brain” of the cell Controls cellular activities
Contains DNA (chromosomes)
12
Nucleus Nuclear membrane Nucleolus Surrounds nucleus Double membrane
Contains nuclear pores (holes) Nucleolus Produces ribosomes Ribosomes leave through nuclear pores
13
Cytoplasm Cytosol Organelles Fluid portion
Membrane-bound compartments that carry out specific functions
14
Mitochondria Breaks down glucose to CREATE ENERGY (ATP) Have own DNA
Active cells (muscle)= hundreds of mitochondria Inactive cells (fat)= few mitochondria Have own DNA Have a double membrane
15
Ribosomes Create proteins Composed of 2 interlocking subunits
Some float free in cytosol Some attach to ER
16
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Intracellular highway 2 types Rough ER Smooth ER
17
Rough ER Covered in ribosomes Produces phospholipids and proteins
18
Smooth ER Lacks ribosomes Produces lipids, estrogen, and testosterone
Helps detoxify drugs and poisons Increased use = increased smooth ER Possibly linked to increased tolerance
19
Endoplasmic Reticulum
20
Golgi Apparatus Transport (FedEx of the cell) Receive vesicles from ER
Can modify packages en route
21
Vesicles Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes
Digest organic molecules, worn organelles or living cells
22
Vesicles Peroxisomes Neutralize free radicals (oxygen ions)
Detoxify alcohol and drugs Breakdown fatty acids
23
Cilia/Flagella Cilia Flagella Hair-like Short and numerous Tail-like
Long and less numerous
24
Plant Cell Vs. Animal Cell
25
Animal Cells Only! Cytoskeleton Network of microtubules & filaments
Gives the cell shape Holds organelles in place
26
Animal Cells Only Centrioles Used during cell division
27
Plant Cells Only! Cell wall Rigid layer surrounding plasma membrane
Made of cellulose Pores allow water, ions, and other molecules to pass Bacteria, some protists and fungi also have cell walls
28
Plant Cells Only! Chloroplast Contain chlorophyll
Site of photosynthesis Energy (sunlight) -> food Contain own DNA Have a double membrane
29
Plant Cells Only! Central vacuole Large, fluid-filled organelle
Stores water, ions, enzymes, and waste Can be up to 90% of cell’s volume Animal cells have small vacuoles
