3
Prokaryotic organisms lack a nucleus in their cells. Which of these organisms is prokaryotic? 1.Plants 2.Fungi 3.Protists (such as Amoeba and Paramecium) 4.Bacteria
4
Which of these objects can be seen with the aid of an ordinary student microscope? 1.Human cell 2.Virus 3.Protein molecule 4.Oxygen atom
5
Which of these is made up of cells? 1.Animals 2.Plants 3.Fungi 4.Bacteria 5.Only animals and plants 6.All of these
6
Discovering the Cell 1665 - Robert Hooke
7
Anton van Leeuwenhoek - late 17th, early 18th centuries
8
1839 – Cell Theory is proposed independently by Theodore Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden.
9
Cell Theory: The cell is the fundamental structure of all living things. All living things are made of cells. Cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division.
10
Ernst Ruska - 1938

12
Cell Membrane Transmission electron micrograph Scanning electron micrograph
13
Which of these can be seen with an electron microscope but not a light microscope? 1.Human cells 2.Bacteria 3.Protein molecules 4.Amino acids
14
Discuss and write down your ideas: How did the invention of the microscope change the human view of the world? How did the invention of the electron microscope change our understanding of cells? WORKTOGETHERWORKTOGETHER
15
Prokaryotic Cells
17
Prokaryotic Features No membrane-bound organelles, such as a nucleus. DNA in one large ring-shaped chromosome An enormous variety of metabolic pathways. Highly successful and adaptable.
18
External structure Coccus (spherical) Spirillus (spiral)Bacillus (rod-shaped)
19
Internal Structure Figure 4-20a Biology: Life on Earth 8/e ©2008 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. chromosome (nucleoid region) plasmid (DNA) cytosol plasma membrane cell wall capsule or slime layer prokaryotic flagellum food granule ribosomes pili
20
True or False: A virus is a kind of bacteria. 1.True 2.False
21
Viruses A virus is usually not considered living. A virus consists only of a protein coat (sometimes with a lipid outer layer) and a piece of genetic material (DNA or RNA).
22
Bacteria vs. Virus FeaturesBacteriaVirus Reproduces independently? Has genetic material? Has cell membrane? Has metabolism? Living? YesNo Yes No Yes
23
Which of these does a bacteria NOT have? 1.DNA 2.Cell membrane 3.Nucleus 4.Bacteria have none of these.
24
Eukaryotic Cells
25
Eukaryotic Features Cells contain membrane-bound organelles. Nucleus holds multiple strands of DNA, which condense into chromosomes during cell division. May be single-celled or multi-cellular organisms.

Figure 4-14 Biology: Life on Earth 8/e ©2008 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1 A protein is synthesized in the rough ER. 5 Vesicles merge with the plasma membrane and release protein by exocytosis. 4 Completed protein is packaged into vesicles. 3 Vesicles fuse with Golgi. The protein may be altered and finished. 2 Protein is packaged into vesicles and travels to Golgi apparatus. ER and Golgi function
31
A cell that produces a lot of protein must have an extensive: 1.Nucleus 2.Rough ER 3.Smooth ER 4.Golgi apparatus
32
Proteins are packaged for delivery by the: 1.Nucleus 2.Rough ER 3.Golgi apparatus
33
Discuss and summarize in your own words the roles of: the cell nucleus the rough ER the Golgi complex WORKTOGETHERWORKTOGETHER
34
Lysosomes

ER, Golgi, & Lysosome Function after Phagocytosis Figure 4-15 Biology: Life on Earth 8/e ©2008 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1 Enzymes are synthesized in ER. plasma membrane waste ER digestive enzymes food vacuole lysosome Golgi nucleus 4 Lysosome fuses with food vacuole and enzymes digest food. 3 Lysosomes bud from Golgi. 2 Golgi modifies enzymes.
36
Mitochondrion cristae outer membrane inner membrane intermembrane compartment 0.2 micrometer matrix
37
White blood cells must locate, engulf, and destroy many foreign particles. Which organelle will help them most in this task? 1.Nucleus 2.Lysosome 3.Endoplasmic reticulum 4.Golgi bodies
38
Discuss and summarize in your own words the roles of the lysosome and the mitochondrion in animal cell nutrition. WORKTOGETHERWORKTOGETHER

True or false: Plant cells are much more primitive than animal cells and have far fewer types of organelles. 1.True 2.False
41
Plant cells are: 1.Eukaryotic 2.Prokaryotic

49
One-celled Eukaryotic organisms have unique challenges. A Paramecium must: ingest food excrete waste sense and respond to the environment

52
contractile vacuole full reservoir contracted reservoir
53
pore collecting ducts central reservoir Reservoir contracts, expelling water through pore. Water enters collecting ducts, fills central reservoir.
54
In a one-celled organism, which organelle is most like: A stomach (assists with digestion)? A kidney (removes excess water)? WORKTOGETHERWORKTOGETHER
55
Recap Prokaryotic cells have no membrane- bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, which compartmentalize processes for better efficiency. ALL cells have a cell membrane and DNA.
