1 Basic Structure of a Cell
3
2 Introduction to Cells Cells are the basic units of organisms Cells can only be observed under microscope Basic types of cells: Animal CellPlant Cell Bacterial Cell
4
3 Number of Cells Organisms may be: Unicellular – composed of one cell Multicellular- composed of many cells that may organize
5
4 Prokaryotes are bacterial cells. They lack a nucleus or membrane- bound structures called organelles Eukaryotes include most other (plants, fungi, & animals) They have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles Cells May be Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic
6
5 Prokaryotes Nucleoid region contains the DNA Cell membrane & cell wall Contain ribosomes in their cytoplasm that make proteins Ribosomes are tiny structure that are NOT covered with membranes
7
6 Eukaryotic Cell Contain 3 basic cell structures: Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm with organelles
8
7 Two Main Types of Eukaryotic Cells Plant Cell Animal Cell
9
8 Organelles Cell structures that are very small Can only be observed under a microscope Have specific functions Found throughout cytoplasm Most are surrounded by a membrane
10
9 Organelles Found in Cells include: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)– canals for movement. Two types: rough & smooth Golgi Bodies – wrap & export proteins Nucleolus – makes ribosomes Lysosomes – digest & get rid of wastes Ribosomes – makes proteins
11
10 Golgi Bodies Stacks of flattened sacsStacks of flattened sacs Have a shipping side & a receiving sideHave a shipping side & a receiving side Receive & modify proteins made by ERReceive & modify proteins made by ER Transport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off the endsTransport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off the ends Transport vesicle
12
11 Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymesContain digestive enzymes Break down food and worn out cell parts for cellsBreak down food and worn out cell parts for cells Programmed for cell death (lyse & release enzymes to break down & recycle cell parts)Programmed for cell death (lyse & release enzymes to break down & recycle cell parts)
13
12 Nucleolus Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Inside nucleusInside nucleus Cannot be seen when cell dividesCannot be seen when cell divides Makes ribosomes that make proteinsMakes ribosomes that make proteins
14
13 Smooth & Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth ER lacks ribosomes & makes proteins that are used in the cell Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface & makes proteins to EXPORT
15
14 Rod shape organelle Site of Cellular respiration Cell Powerhouse Mitochondrion ( mitochondria )
16
15 Active cells like muscles have more mitochondria than other cells Burn sugars to produce energy ATP In Animal Cells: Mitochondria
17
16 Lies immediately against the cell wall in plant cells Made of protein and phospholipids Selectively permeable Cell membrane Surrounding the Cell
18
17 Living layer Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell Selectively permeable Cell membrane Cell or Plasma Membrane

20 Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane Provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place Cytoplasm Cytoplasm of a Cell
22
21 Contains organelles to carry out specific jobs Cytoplasm More on Cytoplasm
23
22 Controls the normal activities of the cell Bounded by a nuclear membrane Contains chromosomes Control Organelle Nucleus
24
23 Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes that carry genes Genes control cell characteristics Nucleus More on the Nucleus
25
24 Contains the green pigment chlorophyll Traps sunlight to make to make sugars (food) Process called photosynthesis Special Plant Cell Organelles Chloroplast
26
25 Dead layer Large empty spaces present between cellulose fibers Freely permeable Cell wall Plant Cell
27
26 Plant Cell Made of cellulose Strong and rigid Cell wall
28
27 Protects and supports the enclosed substances (cytoplasm) Prevents entry of excess water into the cell Give shape to the cell Cell wall Plant Cell
29
28 Plants have a large central vacuole Contains cell sap: Water, sugars, proteins, minerals, wastes, & pigments Plant Cell Organelles Vacuole
30
29 Different kinds of plant cells Onion Epidermal Cells Root Hair Cell root hair Guard Cells
31
30 mitochondrion nucleus glycogen granule cell membrane cytoplasm Animal cell No cell wall, large central vacuole, or chloroplast vacuole
32
31 Organelle Unique to Animal Cells Near the nucleus Paired structures Help cell divide
33
32 Different kinds of animal cells white blood cell red blood cell cheek cells sperm nerve cell muscle cell Amoeba Paramecium
34
33 Similarities between plant cells and animal cells Both have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm Both have a nucleus Both contain mitochondria and other organelles
35
34 Differences between plant cells and animal cells Animal cellsPlant cells Relatively smaller in size Irregular shape No cell wall Relatively larger in size Regular shape Cell wall present
36
35 Animal cellsPlant cells Vacuole small or absent Nucleus at the center Large central vacuole Nucleus near cell wall Differences between Plant Cells and Animal Cells
37
36 Discovery of Cells By Robert Hooke in 1665. Did not take place until a microscope was invented. Looked at cork cells. Only saw cell walls. Named them after the rooms or “cells” of a monastery.
38
37 Led to the Cell Theory All living things are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing. Cells only come from other cells.
39
38 Old Theory Spontaneous generation: living things can come from nonliving materials. Ex – rats from grain stored in dark room - maggots from rotting meat
40
39 Modern Compound Microscope Instrument for observing small objects Magnify images up to 2000X their size
41
40 Different parts of a microscope
42
41 Eyepiece Fine adjustment Arm Stage Condenser control knob Base Body tube Coarse adjustment Iris diaphragm Revolving nosepiece Objective Clip Condenser Mirror
43
42 The cell is the Basic Unit of Life Unicellular organisms are made of one cell only The cells of multicellular organisms are specialized to perform different functions –e.g. mesophyll cells for photosynthesis and root hair cells for water absorption
44
43 Levels of organization Cells are grouped together and work as a whole to perform special functions
45
44 Tissue A group of similar cells to perform a particular function –Animals : epithelial tissue, muscular tissue –Plants : vascular tissue, mesophyll
46
45 Organ Different tissues group together to carry out specialized functions –Heart : consists of muscles, nervous tissue and blood vessels –Leaf : consists of epidermis, mesophyll and vascular tissue
47
46 Stoma Air Space Spongy Mesophyll Cell Chloroplast The Structures of a Leaf (Plant Organ) Palisade Mesophyll Cell
48
47 The Structures of a Heart (Animal Organ)
49
48 System Several organs and tissues work together to carry out a particular set of functions in a co-ordinated way –Human : digestive, respiratory, excretory, circulatory and reproductive systems –Plant : root and shoot systems
50
49 Human Body Systems Examples of systems : Digestive System Respiratory System Circulatory System Nervous System Reproductive System
51
50 Levels of Organization CELLS (muscle cells,nerve cells) TISSUES (muscle, epithelium) ORGANS (heart, lungs, stomach) SYSTEMS (circulatory system) ORGANISM (human)
