Introduction to Cytology or Cell Biology

5 Characteristics of Living Things ① Respond to the environment ② Require Energy ③ Grow ④ Reproduce ⑤ Eliminate wastes

How do we observe cells? Light microscope Visible light passes through object Lens magnify image Electron microscope Scanning - surface of object Transmission - sees through objects 100,000 X to Millions magnification power

Can they be resolved or separated from each other??

13
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.13 Resolving Power Resolving power is the ability to make out detail Human Eye 0.1 mm Compound Microscope 0.2 um Electron Microscope 0.5 nm Limitations of Microscopes Light waves scattering causes distortion and unclear images Maximum magnification is about 1500X

How do we know what happens in each part of the cell? Radioisotopes are used to "trace" different chemical reactions through a cell. Separate cellular structures with a blender Centrifuge material and analyze each layer.
29
People who were important in early cell discovery:
30
Robert Hooke (1665) Observed dead cork - called them “cells“ Compound Microscope
31
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek (1674) - living cells in pond water; one celled organisms -- animalcules
32
Mattias Scleiden ( 1838 ) stated that plants are made up of cells
33
Theodor Schwann (1839) stated that animals are made up of cells
34
Rudolph Virchow (1858) Studied the pathology of cells. (ability to cause disease) 1. All cells arise from preexisting cells. 2. New cells can only arise from other living cells by the process of cell division or reproduction
35
Cell Theory 1. All living things are composed of cells 2. Cells are the fundamental building block of life 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells (life begets life)
36
Eukaryotic cells – advanced cells Have nucleus Plasma membrane Cytoplasm - everything between plasma membrane and nucleus Organelles Fluid Cytoskeleton – threads of microtubules and microfilaments in cytoplasm
37
Animal cells have unique structures Centrioles Lysosome Flagellum 1. 2. 3. Plant cells have unique structures Large central vacuole Cell wall 1. 2. Chloroplasts 3. Animal vs Plant Cell
38
Mitochondrion Plasma Membrane Cell Wall Central Vacuole Vesicle Ribosomes Envelope DNA Nucleolus Cytoskeleton Fibres Chloroplast Pore Golgi Body Smooth ER Rough sdfER Mitochondrion
39
Centriole
40
Plasma Membrane Protein Marker Sugar Chain Lipid Bilayer Cholesterol Proteins Embedded Protein OUTSIDE OF CELL INSIDE OF CELL
41
Cell Membrane Side Profile
42
Different membranes All have similar functions & structures Plasma membrane separates inside of cell from outside of cell Other membrane define organelles to form compartments of eukaryotic cells Forms a selectively permeable layer Lets some things in or out but not all Like a window screen
43
Nucleus
44
Envelope Double membrane Pores to get messages in and out Chromatin DNA threads Protein balls called histones - wrapping Nucleolus - site of ribosome production Nucleus - Structures
45
Ribosomes
46
Consists of 2 parts, which are made in nucleus Make protein in the Cytoplasm Produce proteins from ‘recipes’ in the nucleus copied into mRNA Some (proteins) will remain in cytoplasm Some will be exported out of cell Some will attach to membranes in cell Ribosomes are found on the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm
47
Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough ER Smooth ER
48
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough ER - attached to nucleus Ribosomes stud surface Produces Membrane proteins - stay in cell Secretory proteins - exported from cell
49
RER makin’ Proteins!
50
Golgi apparatus – the Post Office of the Cell
51
Refines, stores and marks molecules for shipment Looks like stack of hollow pancakes Products of ER arrive & leave via transport vesicles Moving from one sac to the next Molecules get modified Labeled and / or stored Called the cell “Post office” because it marks and directs products in the cell Golgi apparatus – what it does
52
Lysosome
53
Greek for breakdown body Recylcer Sac of strong digestive enzymes Compartmentalized for safety Can release to breakdown entire cell – “suicide sack” Functions Digest food vacuoles Digest invading bacteria Digest old organelles Lysosome
55
Mitochondria
56
Site of cellular respiration Conversion of food into energy (ATP) ATP is what cells use to make things happen (drive chemical reactions) Double membrane Big bag stuffed in smaller bag Folds of inner bag called cristae Space inside inner bag called matrix Also once free living bacteria Efficiency - gasoline engines converts 25% of energy mitochondria converts 54% of energy Mitochondria
57
contains some of its own DNA (amount varies within organisms) believed to evolved from a primitive cell engulfing it and creating a symbiotic relationship DNA in mitochondria obtained only from mother of organism.
58
Chloroplast 1. chlorophyll is green chemical that releases electrons, working like a solar panel in sunlight 2. forms glucose 3. photosynthesis 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O ---> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Plant Organelles Chloroplasts - in plants
59
Chloroplasts
60
Different kinds of cells suited for a different activity. Cell Specialization Division of Labor Different cells divide their labor each has a specific function and supports each other.
61
1. Cell 2. Tissue 3. Organ 4. Organ system 5. Organism Levels of structure
62
Tissue Level A group of cells that are alike in structure and activity in an organism muscles - Skeletal muscle cells – motion - Cardiac muscle cells – heartbeat - Bones - support - Nerve cells - coordination, perception and automatic body functions
63
Organ Level several tissues working as a unit heart Animalsbrain stomach roots Plantsstem leaf
64
Organ System many organs involved in carrying out a function digestive nervous skeletal excretory respiratory endocrine – (hormones) circulatory muscular reproductive
65
Organism complete living thing cell tissue organ organ system organism INCREASING SIZE
66
Prokaryotes Cells that do not have a nucleus Exist almost every where on earth Grow in numbers so great you can see them with the unaided eye
67
Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic Cells
68
What are Viruses A virus is a non-cellular particle made up of genetic material and protein that can invade living cells.
69
T4 Bacteriophage
70
Herpes Virus
71
E. Coli and the Bacteriophage What it looks like in real life
