2. Cells and Tissues
Carry out all chemical activities needed to sustain life
Cells are the building blocks of all living things
Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and function

3. Anatomy of the Cell Cells are not all the same
All cells share general structures
Cells are organized into three main regions
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Plasma membrane

4. The Nucleus Control center of the cell Three regions
Contains genetic material (DNA)
Three regions
Nuclear membrane
Nucleolus
Chromatin

5. Nuclear Membrane Barrier of nucleus
Consists of a double phospholipid membrane
Contain nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell

6. Nucleoli Nucleus contains one or more nucleoli
Sites of ribosome production
Ribosomes then migrate to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores

7. Chromatin Composed of DNA and protein Scattered throughout the nucleus
Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides

Hydrophilic heads
Hydrophobic tails
Other materials in plasma membrane
Protein
Cholesterol
Glycoproteins

14. Cytoplasmic Organelles
Ribosomes
Made of protein and RNA
Sites of protein synthesis
Found at two locations
Free in the cytoplasm
Attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum

15. Cytoplasmic Organelles
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Fluid-filled tubules for carrying substances
Two types of ER
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Studded with ribosomes
Site where building materials of cellular membrane are formed
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Functions in cholesterol synthesis and breakdown, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs

Golgi apparatus
Modifies and packages proteins
Produces different types of packages
Secretory vesicles
Cell membrane components
Lysosomes

18. Cytoplasmic Organelles
Lysosomes
Contain enzymes that digest nonusable materials within the cell
Peroxisomes
Membranous sacs of oxidase enzymes
Detoxify harmful substances
Break down free radicals (highly reactive chemicals)
Replicate by pinching in half

19. Cytoplasmic Organelles
Mitochondria
“Powerhouses” of the cell
Change shape continuously
Carry out reactions where oxygen is used to break down food
Provides ATP for cellular energy
