Warm-Up What are cells? What do they do that is important for life?

4
Cell Theory All living things are composed of cells.
The cell is the most basic unit of life. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
5
Prokaryotes: Most primitive cell
Bacteria: do not have a nuclei or other membrane bound organelles; DNA is contained within the cytoplasm Some bacteria have a capsule which is a surface layer that helps them stick to each other and surfaces eapbiofield.wikispaces.com
6
Bacteria have a cell wall, cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA in the cytoplasm (no nucleus).
7
Bacteria, or prokaryotes, have no membrane-bound organelles.
8
A plasmid is a circular molecule
One organelle unique to prokaryotes is a molecule of DNA called a plasmid. A plasmid is a circular molecule
10
However, eukaryotes have many membrane-bound organelles.
11
Eukaryotes Unicellular or multi-cellular organism that contains membrane-bound organelles and genetic material within a nucleus All organisms but bacteria Includes protists, fungi, animals, and plants
14
Eukaryotes Many of the membrane-bound organelles following are found in eukaryotes only
15
Parts of the Cell Cell wall:
A tough covering made of cellulose that adds structure and protection to a cell Located outside the cell membrane In plants, bacteria, protists, and fungi only (not animals) biology.unm.edu
16
Parts of the Cell Cell membrane:
Semi-permeable outer layer of all cells Lets selected substances into the cell, such as food and water, and other substances out of the cell, such as wastes. All cells have a membrane. Cell membrane
17
Phospholipid Bilayer Membrane
18
Parts of the Cell Nucleus: Only in eukaryotes; Contains the DNA of the eukaryotic cell so is called the “control center” of the cell. Enclosed in a membrane.
19
Parts of the Cell Nucleus Contains DNA DNA is in the form of chromatin
When cells begin mitosis, DNA coils into structures called chromosomes DNA carries all the genes needed to make and control the cell
20
Parts of the Cell Nuclear envelope: membrane surrounding the nucleus that allows important molecules in and out of the nucleus Chromatin: DNA that has unwound from chromosome form into long strings
21
Parts of the Cell Ribosomes: small organelles that make proteins; Made of RNA; they get their information directly from the nucleus; some attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and some are free free ribosome
22
Parts of the Cell Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): folded membrane (so only in eukaryotes) within the cell that transports proteins and other chemicals throughout the cell; surrounds the nucleus to get information from DNA Rough ER has ribosomes attached that make proteins on the membrane. Smooth ER has no ribosomes so other chemicals are produced on the membrane
23
Parts of the Cell Golgi body (apparatus): folded membranes (so found only in eukaryotes) that package chemicals, including proteins, that the cell produces and then ships outside the cell.
24
Parts of the Cell Mitochondria: organelles that use sugar to produce energy for the cell; know as the “power house” of the cell Folded membranes hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca
25
The folded membranes increase surface area on which chemical reactions may occur.
26
Parts of the Cell Chloroplast: organelles that contain chlorophyll and the process of photosynthesis Chlorophyll: the green pigment that is necessary for photosynthesis biology.unm.edu Folded membranes
27
Parts of the Cell Vacuole: membrane-bound organelle that contains water, wastes, and other fluids in cells; large vacuole in plant cell helps cell keep its shape Vacuole Animal cell Plant cell en.wikipedia.org
28
Parts of the Cell Lysosome: membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes; digest food particles and other substances publications.nigms.nih.gov
29
Parts of the Cell Cytoplasm: a fluid that is contained in a cell and surrounds the cell’s organelles cytoplasm coolcell.blogspot.com
30
In multicellular organisms, cell structure is connected to function
In multicellular organisms, cell structure is connected to function. Every cell is made to do a specific job and has to be put together in a specific way to do that job.
31
Even though every cell in a multicellular organism has the exact same set of DNA, different cells are structurally different to do different jobs.
32
Morphology: the study of form and function of living things. l
33
Different cells may have different numbers and arrangements of organelles depending on what types of jobs the cells are responsible for.
