Cell Structures Unit
2
Cells – What are they? Specific Separate mass surrounded by a semi- permeable membrane The basic structural unit of life All organisms are composed of one or more cells
3
Cells – What are they? How cells differ from each other; Size Shape Organization
4
The Discovery of the Cell The first microscope magnified an object 270 times. Today, they can magnify 200,000 times. Robert Hooke was the first to view the world of cells in 1660.
5
Cell Developments 1665 – Robert Hooke English scientists Took thin sliced of cork bark Noticed they had similar compartments He called them cells Estimated there were 1 billion cells per cubic inch
6
Cell Developments 1838 – Matthais Schledien Discovered that plants have cells 1839 – Theodor Schwann Discovered that animals have cells 1858 – Rodolf Virchow Discovered that all cells come from living things.
7
The Cell Theory 1. All organisms are composed of cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
8
Inter Cellular Terminology Cytoplasm: Suspended fluid inside the cell Aids in transport of substances within the cell
9
Inter Cellular Terminology Organelles Special structures in the cytoplasm Each performs a special task to help keep the cell alive
10
Inter Cellular Terminology Chromosomes Molecules of DNA wrapped around proteins Found in the Nucleus Controls cell functions and the what traits are passed on
11
Centriole
12
Inter Cellular Terminology Centriole Small, Organelle lying near the nucleus in the cytoplasm Aids in cell division Only in animal cells
13
Endoplasmic Reticulum
14
Inter Cellular Terminology Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cannels Transports substances into the cell Called the CHEMICAL WORK BENCH Plants and Animals Smooth ER Rough ER
15
Golgi Apparatus
16
Inter Cellular Terminology Golgi Apparatus Found in the cytoplasm Packages proteins for Storage Secretion Plants and Animals
17
Lysosome
18
Inter Cellular Terminology Lysosome Breaks down food and foreign material. Removes waste materials from the cell Only in Animal Cells
19
Inter Cellular Terminology Messenger RNA Synthesized in the Nucleus Passes through the ribosome Provides a template for enzyme or protein synthesis
20
Inter Cellular Terminology Transfer RNA Serves as an adaptor molecule in the syntheses of protein
21
Mitochondria
22
Inter Cellular Terminology Mitochondria Spherical or elongated Releases energy to produce body heat. Contains the electron transmitter POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL Burn food to obtain energy Plants and Animals
23
Inter Cellular Terminology Nuclear Membrane Separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm Controls What leaves the cell What enters the cell
24
Nucleus & Nucleolus
25
Inter Cellular Terminology Nucleolus Produces ribonucleic acids (RNA) Assembles ribosome's Plants and Animals
26
Inter Cellular Terminology Nucleus Organelle containing the hereditary information Plants and Animals
27
Inter Cellular Terminology Ribosomes Granules composed of protein and RNA Synthesis protein
28
Vacuole
29
Inter Cellular Terminology Vacuole Small space within a cell Filled with water Stores food, water and wastes Plants and Animals
30
Intra-cellular terminology Plasma Membrane Encloses the cell Regulates what enters and exits the cell
31
Structures outside of the Cell Hemoglobin Red Protein pigment that transports O and CO 2 Regulates pH
32
Structures outside of the Cell Erythrocyte Red Blood Cells Leukocytes White blood cells
33
Structures outside of the Cell Microfilaments Thin, thread like fibers Aids in cell movement Contracts like muscles
34
Structures outside of the Cell Platelet Small colorless corpuscle Aids in blood coagulation
35
Levels of Cellular Organization Cells The basic unit of all living things Tissues: Groups of cells working together Organs: Groups of tissues working together Organ Systems: Groups of organs working together Organisms: Groups of organ systems working together
36
Processes of the Cell Absorption: Taking in water and nutrients Chlorophyll: The green pigment of plants Aids in photosynthesis
37
Processes of the Cell Chloroplast: The site that photosynthesis takes place Chlorophyll: The green pigment of plants Aids in photosynthesis
38
Processes of the Cell Differentiation: Process of changing unspecialized into specialized cells Photosynthesis: Making sugars in green plants from water, carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.
39
Processes of the Cell Respiration: Using stored foods to obtain energy Transpiration: The evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant
40
Processes of Photosynthesis The process that plants us to produce food for themselves Plants are the factories of the world An estimated 150 billion tons of sugar are produced by plants each year
41
Processes of Photosynthesis How it works Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf from the surrounding air Water moves from the soil into the root, stems, and leaves The H20 and the CO2 are synthesized in the chlorophyll with the energy from sunlight
42
Processes of Photosynthesis The end result is the formulation of sugar which is transported around the plant to be used After the plant uses the Hydrogen, and Carbon, the Oxygen is a bi-product of the photosynthesis and is released
43
Processes of Respiration Here’s how it works; Sugar is broken down to produce energy for essential plant functions. Respiration consumes oxygen and glucose Respiration gives of Carbon Dioxide and water
44
Photosynthesis –vrs- Respiration PhotosynthesisRespiration Building of carbohydratesUsing carbohydrates Sugars manufacturedSugars consumed Requires lightHappens day or night Captures energyUses energy Only takes place in plantsCarries on in both plants and animals Sugar is the end productEnergy produced for plant functions
45
Plants vs. Animals Plant Cells Cell Wall Made of cellulose Gives support and shape They have chloroplasts Green chlorophyll pigment Site of Photosynthesis
46
Plants vs. Animals Plant Cells No microtubules No cenrioles Usually a single large vacuole Liposome's are absent.
47
Plant Cell
48
Plants vs. Animals Animal Cells Microtubules give them shape No cell wall, plastids, chloroplasts Vacuoles are small
49
Animal Cell
