1
Cell Structure & Function
2
Cell Theory All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.
3
Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
4
Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell Bacteria
5
Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
6
Prokaryotic Do not have a nucleus http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html
7
Eukaryotic Have a nucleus (DNA contained in nucleus) More complex that prokaryotes PlantAnimal http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html

10
Cell Parts Organelles
11
Surrounding the Cell
12
Cell Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell Double layer Found in animal cells http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
13
Cell Wall Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria Supports & protects cells http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
14
Inside the Cell
15
Nucleus Directs cell activities (Capital) Contains genetic material – DNA (so it can reproduce). This is contained in things known as Chromosomes
16
Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture –This is the gelatin-like material where all the organelles are located. Surrounded by cell membrane/cell wall
17
Mitochondria These are the power houses of the cell. (Power Plant) –These are organelles that use oxygen to get energy from processing food. –This organelle provides the cell with the energy it needs to do its job http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
18
Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands. (Construction Workers) Make proteins (which is what the cell is made up of) –Found on Endoplasmic Reticulum & floating throughout the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
19
Transport Systems in Cell
20
Endoplasmic Reticulum Moves materials around in cell. (Highway) Smooth type: lacks ribosomes Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
21
Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant‘ Alters proteins into usable forms for the cell. (Post Office) Also moves materials within the cell Also moves materials out of the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
22
Lysosome Breaks down and transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal. (Trash Removal) http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
23
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal. (Storage) Contains water solution http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
24
Plant Cells Only
25
Central Vacuole Is a large Vacuole in the middle of the cell. Plants do not typically have more than one vacuole. Help plants maintain shape http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

27
Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll Where photosynthesis takes place http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
