1. Cell Structure & Function

2. Cell Theory All living things are made up of cells.
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
All cells are produced from other cells.

3. Definition of Cell
A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.

4. Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Two Types of Cells
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic

5. Prokaryotic “An organism whose cells lack a nucleus and some other cell structures.”
Do not have structures surrounded by membranes
Few internal structures
One-celled organisms, Bacteria

6. Eukaryotic “An organism whose cells contain nuclei.”
Contain organelles surrounded by membranes
Most living organisms
Plant
Animal

7. “Typical” Animal Cell

8. “Typical” Plant Cell

9. Cell Parts
Organelles

10. Cell Membrane
Outside cell boundaries that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Double layer

11. Cell Wall
A rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.
Supports & protects cells
Surrounds cell membrane

12. Inside the Cell

13. Nucleus
The control center of a eukaryotic cell that directs the cell’s activities and contains the information that determines the cell’s form and function.
Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane
Contains genetic material - DNA

14. Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus

15. Chromosomes In nucleus Made of DNA
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics
A doubled rod of condensed chromatin

16. Nucleolus
Inside nucleus
Contains RNA to build proteins

17. Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane
Contains hereditary material

18. Endoplasmic Reticulum
A cell structure that forms passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried through the cell.
Smooth type: lacks ribosomes
Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface

19. Ribosomes Grain-like Makes proteins
Some attach to endoplasmic reticulum;
others float in the cytoplasm

20. Mitochondria
Rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions.
Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates
Controls level of water and other materials in cell
Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

21. Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant‘ Move materials within the cell
Move materials out of the cell

22. Lysosome
Small, round structures containing chemicals that break down certain materials.
Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal

23. Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal
Contains water solution
Help plants maintain shape

24. Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll
Where photosynthesis takes place
