1. Cells

2. Robert Hooke -1665 In his book, entitled Micrographia, Hooke was the first to use the term cell From the Latin “cella” meaning “small chamber”

4. Anton van Leeuwenhoek- 1675 A Dutch cloth merchant who became interested in studying cells Was the first to see and describe bacteria, sperm cells and protista

7. Theodor Schwann (1838) – all animals are composed of cells Matthias Schleiden (1838) – all plants are composed of cells

8. Rudolf Virchow (1856) “Omnis cellula e cellula” “where a cell arises, there a cell must previously have existed”

9. Modern Cell Theory All organisms are composed of cells. Cell come from other cells. Cells are the smallest unit of structure and function in living organisms.

10. Prokaryotic Cells Lack a true nucleus Size: 1-10 microns Include bacteria

11. Basic Bacterial Cell

12. Examples of Prokaryotes

13. Eukaryotic Cells Have a true nucleus Size: 10-100+ microns Include plants, animals, fungi and protista

14. Cell Membrane – surrounds the cell Cytosol – “cell liquid” Organelles – “little organs” Nucleus- control center

15. Cell Membrane Regulates the passage into and out of the cell Provides protection Helps in cellular recognition of molecules

16. Cytosol/Cytoplasm Cytosol: the liquid portion inside the cell membrane Cytoplasm: the cytosol and organelles, but not the nucleus

17. Nucleus

18. Contains DNA The cell’s “brain” or CPU DNA codes for protein production Surrounded by the nuclear envelope

19. Cytoplasm Contains the cytosol and organelles

20. Ribosomes Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi bodies or complex Lysosomes Mitochondria Chloroplasts

21. Ribosomes

22. Are the cell’s protein factories Read mRNA code as seen on the right Maybe free in the cytoplasm Or bound to the ER

23. Endoplasmic Reticulum Comes from the Greek Endo = “within” Latin reticulum = “network.” A membrane network within the cytoplasm Two types: Rough – with ribosomes attached (RER) Or Smooth – with no ribosomes (SER)

24. Rough ER Helps the ribosomes in the formation of proteins Used to transport proteins to other parts of the cell

25. Smooth ER Functions include synthesis of membrane lipids & detoxification of drugs Liver cells contain large amounts of smooth ER

26. Golgi Body

27. Modify, sort, and package proteins from the ER for storage in the cell & secretion out of the cell

28. Lysosomes

29. Digestive sacs filled with enzymes Breakdown lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into a form that can be used by the cell Digest worn out organelles

30. Helps to recycle cellular structures Sometimes called “suicide sacs” Involved in rheumatoid arthritis Example…

31. Mitochondria

32. Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that the cell can use (cellular respiration) Contain their own DNA

33. Chloroplasts

34. Site of photosynthesis Contains the green pigment chlorophyll Helps to convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into sugars Also contain genetic information

36. Endosymbiotic Theory States mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free living prokaryotic cells First proposed in the 1890s, but not supported until 1981 with the discovery of mitochondrial DNA Explanation…

37. Vacuole Storage area for water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates Many plants have a large central vacuole filled with liquid to support the plant

39. Cell Wall The cell wall is a rigid structure that is found in plants, fungi, and bacteria cells It supports and maintains the shape of the cell. It is extremely strong.
