1
Cells Theory, Structure, Function
2
What is a Cell? The smallest unit that can carry on all the processes of life
4
Robert Hooke 1665 Cork Cells “A lot of little boxes” Dead Cells
6
Anton van Leeuwenhoek 1673 Hand lens First live cells
8
Schleiden 1838 observed that plants are composed of cells
10
Schwann 1839 observed that all animals are composed of cells Yes humans are animals
11
Virchow 1858 observed that cells come from other cells (reproduction)
12
Cell Theory 1. All living things are made of one or more cells. 2. The basic unit of structure and function within an organism is the cell. 3. All cells arise from existing cells.
13
Create a Timeline Must include: Accurate time increments 4 Pictures Descriptions of each scientist accomplishment Schleiden HookeSchwann Van LeeuwenhoekVirchow
14
What is a Prokaryote? An organism that lacks a nucleus Lacks other membrane bound organelles Ex. Bacteria
15
What is a eukaryote? Organism that has a well defined nucleus Contains membrane-bound organelles Some Specialized cells can function without a nucleus, Ex. Red blood cells Ex. Plants, Fungi, Animals, Humans
16
Create a T-Chart With your shoulder partner create a T- chart that state the Differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Prokaryotes Eukaryotes 1. 2. 3.
17
What are the two types of organisms? Unicellular – a complete living organism that consists of only one cell Examples – bacteria Multicellular – a living organism consisting of more then one cell Examples – animals, plants
18
Level of Organization Cell tissue Organ Organs system Organism
19
What is an organelle? A cell component that performs specific functions Example – nucleus, cell membrane
20
Cell Membrane The outer boundary of the cell Gives shape and flexibility to the cell Is semi-permeable Security guard
21
Mitochondria Breaks down food molecules and releases energy in the form of ATP Battery/Generator
22
Chloroplast Only found in Plants Green Site of Photosynthesis
23
Golgi Apparatus Receives proteins from ER and chemically modifies them Processes, packages, and secretes cell products Uses vesicles for transport UPS
24
Ribosomes The site of protein synthesis Can be attached to the ER or float loose in the cell Line workers
25
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Rough ER with ribosomes Smooth ER w/out ribosomes Prepares proteins for export breaks down toxic substances; Can be rough or smooth
26
Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes Digests and rids the cell of waste Prevents bacteria and viruses from invading Performs: Program Cell Death
27
Nucleus The cells brain Contains chromosomes (DNA) Involved in protein synthesis Boss/Manager
28
Nucleolus The nucleolus is within the nucleus. ribosome RNA are synthesized
29
Cell Wall Only in plant cells Thicker then the membrane Relatively inflexible Protects and supports the cell Block wall
30
Cytoplasm Semi-fluid material inside a cell Nutrient rich
31
Major cell organelles Cilia and Flagella Hair-like organelles that extend beyond the surface of the cell Assist in movement
32
Vacuole Sack of fluid surrounded by a membrane Stores food, enzymes or waste. Animals cells typically have many small ones Plant cells typically have one large one Storage closet
33
Plant cell vs. Animal cell Plant Cells have: Cell Wall One Large vacuole Plastids (stores food or pigment which give color to plant) Chloroplast Solar panel
34
Closing QuizCells 1. Which organelle propels a cell through an environment? Hint there are two possible answers.(1 pt) 2. Which organelle is the final processing center for a protein? (1pt) 3. Which three organelles are present in plant cells but not animal cells? (3 pts) 4. What is the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote? (1 pt)
