A tour of the cell

Cells All organisms are made of cells
The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive Cell structure is correlated to cellular function All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells

Eukaryotic Cells – membranes to separate function
4
What is a cell? Basic features of all cells Plasma membrane
Semifluid substance called cytosol Chromosomes (carry genes) Ribosomes (make proteins)
5
Prokaryotes

The Nucleus
15
The Nucleus: Home of Genetic Instructions
The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell Ribosomes use the information from the DNA to make proteins
16
Nuclear Envelope: Separation of Nucleus and cytoplasm
Double membrane of lipid bilayer Surrounds nucleus Tightly controlled

Pore complexes regulate entry and exit of nucleus
Pore complexes (TEM) Nuclear lamina are a matrix of proteins that line the interior of the nuclear membrane Provide support to the envelope 1 m Figure 6.9 The nucleus and its envelope. Nuclear lamina (TEM)

Chromatin to chromosomes
DNA is organized into discrete units called chromosomes Each chromosome composed of a single DNA molecule associated with proteins The DNA and proteins of chromosomes together called chromatin The nucleolus located within the nucleus and is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis
21
Ribosomes Made of ribosomal RNA and protein
Carry out protein synthesis in two locations
23
Endomembrane system
24
endomembrane regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell continuous or connected via transfer by vesicles Nuclear envelope Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Lysosomes Vacuoles Plasma membrane
25
Smooth ER Rough ER Nuclear envelope ER lumen Cisternae Transitional ER Ribosomes Transport vesicle

Collectively account for more than ½ the membrane in a cell
ER Collectively account for more than ½ the membrane in a cell Membranous cisternae Lumen = internal space Nuclear Envelope continuous with lumen

28
Smooth vs Rough ER Synthesizes lipids Metabolizes carbohydrates
Smooth ER Rough ER Synthesizes lipids Metabolizes carbohydrates Detoxifies drugs and poisons Stores calcium ions Has bound ribosomes, which secrete glycoproteins Distributes transport vesicles Is a membrane factory for the cell

Golgi Apparatus Made of flattened stacks = cisternae
2 distinct “sides” cis and trans Modify molecules as they move through Synthesizes macromolecules

32
Lysosomes Membranous sac of enzymes Used to digest macromolecules
Contents and membranes of lysozymes synthesized in ER ER protected by 3D structure
33
Intracellular digestion
Phagocytosis – engulf “food” Lysosomes fuse with food vacuole Create nutrients for cell Autophagy – recycling cell’s own materials Damage organelle tagged Surrounded by membrane Lysosome fuses
