1 1 Cell Structure Chapter 5

2 2 Outline Cell Theory Cell Size Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells – Organelles  Containing DNA  Endosymbiosis – Plant Cells – Animal Cells

3 3 General Cell Characteristics Genetic material – single circular DNA molecule in prokaryotes – DNA located in nucleus in eukaryotes Cytoplasm fills cell interior Plasma membrane encloses the cell

4 4 Generalized Eukaryotic Cell Plasmodesmata Mitochondrion Cell wall Adjacent cell wall Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Lysosome Chloroplast (opened to show thylakoids) Nucleus Nucleolus Golgi apparatus Nuclear envelope Chloroplast Peroxisome Central vacuole Cytoplasm Actin filament Intermediate filament Microtubule Cytoskeleton Plasma membrane Ribosomes Centriole Lysosome Mitochondrion Ribosomes Rough endoplasmic reticulum Cytoplasm Nucleus Nucleolus Nuclear envelope Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Plasma membrane Microvilli Peroxisome Cytoskeleton Actin filament Intermediate filament Microtubule

5 5 Cell Theory All organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the smallest living units of all living organisms. Cells arise only by division of a previously existing cell.

6 6 Cell Size Most cells are relatively small because as size increases, volume increases much more rapidly. – longer diffusion time

7 7 Visualizing Cells Resolution - minimum distance two points can be apart and still be distinguished as two separate points – Compound microscopes - magnify in stages using multiple lenses – Transmission electron microscope - electrons transmitted through specimen – Scanning electron microscope - electrons beamed onto surface of the specimen

8 8 Visualizing Cells

9 9 Prokaryotic Cells Simplest organisms – Cytoplasm is surrounded by plasma membrane and encased in a rigid cell wall composed of peptidoglycan.  no distinct interior compartments  gram-positive (single layered wall)  gram-negative (complex wall)  Susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics depends on cell wall structure.

10 10 Prokaryotic Cells Some use flagellum for locomotion – threadlike structures protruding from cell surface

11 11 Eukaryotic Cells Characterized by compartmentalization by an endomembrane system, and the presence of membrane-bound organelles. – central vacuole in plants – vesicles – chromosomes in nucleus – cytoskeleton for support and structure – cell walls

12 12 Nucleus Repository for genetic material – Nucleolus - region of intensive ribosomal RNA synthesis Surface of nucleus bound by two phospholipid bilayer membranes – nuclear membrane

13 13 Nucleus

14 14 Chromosomes DNA of eukaryotes is divided into linear chromosomes. – exist as strands of chromatin, except during cell division – associated with packaging histones, packaging proteins  nucleosomes

15 15 Endomembrane System Compartmentalizes cell, channeling passage of molecules through cell’s interior. – Endoplasmic reticulum  Rough ER - studded with ribosomes  Smooth ER - few ribosomes

16 16 Endomembrane System Golgi apparatus – collection of Golgi bodies  collect, package, and distribute molecules synthesized at one location in the cell and utilized at another location

17 17 Endomembrane System Vesicles – Lysosomes - membrane-bound digestive vesicles – Microbodies - enzyme-bearing, membrane- enclosed vesicles.  Peroxisomes - contain enzymes that catalyze the removal of electrons and associated hydrogen atoms

18 18 Ribosomes Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes composed of two subunits that join and attach to messenger RNA. – site of protein synthesis – assembled in nucleoli

19 19 Organelles With DNA Mitochondria – bounded by exterior and interior membranes – interior partitioned by cristae Chloroplasts – have enclosed internal compartments of stacked grana, containing thylakoids – found in photosynthetic organisms Intermembrane space Inner membrane Outer membrane Matrix Crista Outer membrane Inner membrane Granum Thylakoid Stroma

20 20 Endosymbiosis Endosymbiotic theory suggests engulfed prokaryotes provided hosts with advantages associated with specialized metabolic activities.

21 21 Cytoskeleton Network of protein fibers supporting cell shape and anchoring organelles – Actin filaments  cell movement – Microtubules  centrioles and movement – Intermediate filaments  Anchors organelles

22 22 Cytoskeleton

23 23 Plant Cells Central vacuole – often found in the center of a plant, and serves as a storage facility for water and other materials Cell wall – primary walls – middle lamella – secondary walls

24 24 Plant Cell

25 25 Animal Cells Animal cells lack cell walls. – form extracellular matrix  provides support, strength, and resilience
