1. 1 Cellular Structure SOL BIO 4.a-c

2. 2 Cell Theory The cell theory is the unifying theme in biology because it emphasizes the similarity of all living things. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the smallest living units of all living organisms. Cells arise only by division of a previously existing cell.

3. 3 Cell Characteristics Cells contain specialized structures to perform functions necessary for life. Cellular activities necessary for life include chemical reactions that facilitate: acquiring energy reproduction adaptation maintaining homeostasis

4. 4 Cell Characteristics The basic processes necessary for living things to survive are the same for a single cell as they are for a more complex organism. A single-celled organism has to conduct all life processes by itself. A multi-cellular organism has groups of cells that specialize to perform specific functions.

5. 5 Cell Characteristics All cells contain: Genetic material single circular molecule of DNA in prokaryotes double helix located in nucleus in eukaryotes Cytoplasm jelly-like substance that fills the cells interior Plasma membrane encloses the cell – phospholipid bilayer Phospholipids Membrane proteins

6. 6 Cell Types Cell structure is one of the ways in which organisms differ from each other. 2 Types of Cells Prokaryote Eukaryote

7. 7 Prokaryotic Cells Earth’s first cells were prokaryotes. The simplest life forms are the prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells exist in two major forms: eubacteria and archaebacteria.

8. 8 Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotes are the Earth’s most abundant inhabitants. They can survive in a wide range of environments and obtain energy in a variety of ways.

9. 9 Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotes are cells that lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.

10. 10 Prokaryotic Cells Some use flagellum for locomotion ALL are UNICELLULAR Bacteria and related microorganisms are prokaryotes Rotary motor

11. 11 Generalized Prokaryotic Cell

12. 12 Eukaryote Eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes and developed into larger more complex organisms. Eukaryotes are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles surrounded by a membrane, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.

13. 13 Eukaryote Can be both unicellular or multi-cellular Examples of eukaryotes are: All fungus, plant, and animal cells

14. 14 Generalized Eukaryotic Cell

15. 15 Cell Size Most cells are relatively small because as size increases, volume increases much more rapidly. longer diffusion time

16. 16 Visualizing Cells

17. 17 Plant vs. Animal Cell Cellular differences between plant and animal cells Plants have: a cell wall Chloroplast Large vacuole Animal cells do not have these structures

18. 18 Endosymbiosis Endosymbiosis theory suggests that eukaryotes arose from a symbiotic relationship between various prokaryotes. Heterotrophic bacteria became mitochondria. Cyanobacteria became chloroplasts. Host cell was a large eukaryotic cell.

19. 19 Endosymbiosis Prokaryotic cell Eukaryotic cell Prokaryotic cell is engulfed Symbiosis

25. 25 Cell Differentiation Cell specialization occurs during the development of a multi-cellular organism. The genetic information necessary for all cellular functions remains in each cell but may not be used.

26. 26 Nucleus Stores genetic material Contains DNA site where RNA is made Nucleolus: Chromatin and ribosomal subunits Nuclear envelope: Double membrane with pores Largest organelle BRAIN of the cell – controls protein synthesis

30. 30 Ribosomes Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes composed of two subunits that join and attach to messenger RNA. site of protein synthesis assembled in nucleolus

31. 31 Ribosomes They can be found alone in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Alone in cytoplasm- makes proteins for use within the cell Attached to RER- makes proteins for export out of the cell

32. 32 Ribosomes

33. 33 Endoplasmic reticulum transports materials through the cell Rough ER - studded with ribosomes Attached to nuclear membrane site of protein synthesis and processing Smooth ER - lacks ribosomes site of synthesis of phospholipids and the packaging of proteins into vesicles

34. 34 Endoplasmic reticulum

35. 35 Endoplasmic reticulum

36. 36 Golgi apparatus collection of Golgi bodies Stacked flattened sacks Site where cell products are packaged for export Proteins are modified by being combined with fats or carbohydrates

37. 37 Golgi apparatus Vesicles then pinch off from the Golgi body to be secreted (outside the cell) Involved in the production of lysosomes
