Cell Structure & Function
2
Topic: Cell theory EQ: What are the parts of the cell theory?
3
What is a cell? A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
4
Who first discovered cells?
Robert Hooke discovered the first cells. He built the first microscope. He then viewed cork from an oak tree. This is what he saw. He thought they looked like the little rooms, so he called them “cells”
5
What part did microscopes play?
Microscopes allowed scientists to see cells and other things that were too small to be seen with just their eyes.
6
Time passed on…. Better microscopes were built and other scientists began to look for cells in other places………. After many, many observations a theory was made…..called The Cell Theory
7
Many scientists contributed to the cell theory.
The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.
8
Cell Theory The three principles of the cell theory:
1. All living things are made up of cells. 2. The cell is the smallest of all life 3. All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.

Topic: Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells
11
2 Basic Types of Cells Prokaryotes (prokaryotic cells)
Cells that DO NOT have a nucleus Examples: bacteria Eukaryotes (eukaryotic cells) Cells that DO have a nucleus and other organelles Examples: plant cells and animal cells
12
Prokaryotic Cells
13
Prokaryotic DNA: free-floating, not surrounded by a membrane
Organelles: Not many organelles Level of organization: One-celled (unicellular) Size: small
14
Eukaryotic Plant Animal
15
Eukaryotic Cells DNA: surrounded by a membrane
Organelles: Many specialized parts Level of Organization: Multicellular: plants, fungi, animals, and protists Size: larger

Cell Parts Organelles
22
Topic: Cell Organelles (Shape and movement EQ: Explain the function of the 7 cell organelles.
23
Shape and movement Parts of a cell have unique functions. A cell is made up of different structures that keep it alive. They each have a different job.
24
What is an organelle? An organelle is a part of the cell that has a specific job. They are little organs or parts inside of a cell.
25
What is the Nucleus? Directs cell activities (Boss of the cell)
Contains genetic material – DNA Found in Plant and Animal Cells
26
What is the cell membrane?
Flexible covering Protects and controls movement in and out of the cell Found in plant & animal cells. It only allows certain materials to pass (selectively permeable)
27
What is a cell wall? Only in plants
A stiff structure outside the cell membrane. Adds support & helps the plant keep its shape.
28
What is the cytoskeleton?
A network of threadlike proteins that are joined together and help give the cell its shape and help it move.

30
Movement of materials in a cell
EQ: Explain the function of the 7 cell organelles.
31
How do materials move in and out of the cell?
Two processes: A. Diffusion B. Osmosis
32
What is Cytoplasm? A fluid inside a cell that contains salts and other molecules. Surrounded by cell membrane
33
What is diffusion? The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion moves ALL KINDS of materials in/out of cells
35
What does diffusion look like?
36
What is osmosis? The diffusion of water molecules through a membrane
This process refers to transferring only WATER in/out of cells
37
What does osmosis look like?
38
Why is osmosis and diffusion important?
Both of these processes allows for things the cell need (water, nutrients, etc.) to get in and wastes have a way to leave out.

Topic: Cells Energy and Storage
EQ: Explain the function of the 7 cell organelles
41
Eukaryotic Cell Organelles and Function
Mitochondria Nickname: “The Powerhouse” Function: Energy formation Breaks down food to make ATP ATP: is the major fuel for all cell activities that require energy
42
Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Ribosomes Nucleus Cell Membrane
Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies
43
Eukaryotic Cell Organelles and Function
Vacuoles Function: stores water Only in plant cells This is what makes lettuce crisp When there is no water, the plant wilts
44

45
Eukaryotic Cell Organelles and Function
Chloroplasts Function: traps energy from the sun to produce food for the plant cell Green in color because of chlorophyll, which is a green pigment Found only in plant cells
46
Plant Cell Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Vacuole Chloroplasts
Section 7-2 Vacuole Chloroplasts Cell Membrane Go to Section:
47
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
48
Chromosomes In nucleus Made of DNA
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics
49
Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins
50
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Moves materials around in cell Smooth type: lacks ribosomes Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface
51
Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands Make proteins
Found on ribosomes & floating throughout the cell
52
Mitochondria Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates Controls level of water and other materials in cell Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
53
Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant' Move materials within the cell
Move materials out of the cell
54
Lysosome Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes
55
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal
Contains water solution Help plants maintain shape
56
Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll
Where photosynthesis takes place
