1 Chapter 8 n A Tour of the Cell

2 How can we see cells? n Light microscope – Uses light and lenses to magnify n Electron microscope – Uses beam of electrons – Gives a 3-D picture n Not a flashcard.

3 Electron vs. Light What can you see without a microscope? n Not a flashcard.

4 Here are some pictures of cells View the size of cells n Not a flashcard.

5 Cell Types Bone Cell Muscle Cell Nerve Cell Cartilage Cell Blood Cell Small Intestine Cell n Not a flashcard.

6 Discovery of the Cell n Made possible by the development of the microscope n Robert Hooke first used a microscope in 1665 n Examined a thin slice of cork n Found similar formations, “a great many little boxes,” when looking at stems of trees, carrots, and ferns n Cells – named after the small rooms in which monks lived

7 Cork cells n Not a flashcard.

8 Cell Theory The 3 Parts to the Cell Theory:  All living things are composed of one or more cells  Cells are the basic units of life  All cells come from pre-existing cells

9 There are 2 types of cells n Prokaryotic Example: bacteria n Eukaryotic Examples: plant & animal

10 Which is Bigger? Bacteria Cell Animal Cell Plant Cell Small Bigger Biggest n Not a flashcard.

11 Cell Type: Prokaryotic n No true nucleus n No organelles with membranes

12 Cell Type: Eukaryotic n Has at least 1 true nucleus n Has organelles with membranes

13 Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

14 Why aren’t cells large? n As cell size, the surface area to volume ratio n Rates of chemical exchange may then be inadequate for cell size n Cell size, therefore, remains small

15 Cell Size n Not a flashcard.

16 Surface Area to Volume Ratio n Not a flashcard.

17 Unicellular vs. Multicellular n Unicellular Made of only ONE cell n or Multicellular Made of more than one cell

18 Organelles There are 16 organelles I would like you to know. n Be able to label each of them and describe their functions. n Not a flashcard.

19 Cell Wall n Not in animal cells n Provides: protection shape support

20 Cell Membrane n Made of phospholipids n Selectively permeable n Maintains homeostasis

21 The Cell Membrane… Controls what enters and leaves the cell n Not a flashcard.

22 Cytoplasm n Clear fluid that surrounds the organelles n Jelly-like

23 The Cytoskeleton n Fibrous network in cytoplasm n Provides support and maintains shape n Made of microtubules

24 Nucleus The cell’s control center Contains DNA RNA is made here

25 Nucleolus n Inside the nucleus n Produces ribosomes

26 Mitochondria n Makes energy n The more mitochondria, the more energy the cell can produce! (muscle cells)

27 Endoplasmic Reticulum n A folded membrane attached to the nucleus n ‘Intra-cellular highway’

28 Ribosomes n Small and ‘circular’ n Assembles amino acids to make proteins

29 Vessicles n Small packages that transport proteins from the ER to the Golgi apparatus

30 Golgi Apparatus n Flattened sacs n Packages proteins and lipids to leave the cell

31 Lysosomes n sacs of enzymes n digests particles

32 Vacuoles n Stores food, enzymes, and waste n Plants: only 1 LARGE

33 Chloroplasts n Found only in plants n Contains chlorophyll (green) n Converts sunlight to useable energy

34 Elodea Cells n Not a flashcard.

35 Centrioles n Used in cell replication; only in animal cells n Pulls chromosomes apart

36 Cilia vs. Flagella Locomotive appendages: n Cilia is short and hairlike (large #’s) n Flagella is longer and whiplike (small #’s)

37 Real Pictures of Cilia n Not a flashcard.

38 It’s all connected! n Not a flashcard.

39 Difference Between Plant & Animal Cells Plant Cells Have: n A Cell wall n Chloroplasts n Larger vacuole n No centrioles

40 A Plant Cell n Not a flashcard.

41 A Real Plant Cell n Not a flashcard.

42 Another Plant Cell Important Info! n Not a flashcard.

43 An Animal Cell n Not a flashcard.

44 Another Animal Cell n Not a flashcard.

45 Cell Cheer!

46 The End! See you soon!
