CELLS
4
HISTORY OF CELL STARTED WITH DISCOVERING THE FIRST MICROSCOPE Hans and Zacharias Janssen Dutch lens grinders, father and son produced first compound microscope (2 lenses) 3
5
HISTORY OF CELL Robert Hooke (1665) English scientist looked at a thin slice of cork (oak cork) through a compound microscope observed tiny, hollow, room like structures called these structures 'cells' because they reminded him of the rooms that monks lived in only saw the outer walls (cell walls) because cork cells are not alive 4
6
HISTORY OF CELL Anton van Leeuwenhoek (around the same time as Hooke 1680?) Dutch fabric merchant and amateur scientist looked at blood, rainwater, scrapings from teeth through a simple microscope (1 lens) observed living cells; called some 'animalcules' some of the small 'animalcules' are now called bacteria 5
7
HISTORY OF CELL Matthias Schleiden (1838) German botanist viewed plant parts under a microscope discovered that plant parts are made of cells Theodor Schwann (1839) German zoologist viewed animal parts under a microscope discovered that animal parts are made of cells 6
8
HISTORY OF CELL Rudolph Virchow (1855) German physician stated that all living cells come only from other living cells Credited with completing the CELL THEORY 7

8 Basic Structure of a Cell
10
9 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
11
10 Number of Cells Organisms may be: Unicellular – composed of one cell Multicellular- composed of many cells that may organize
12
11 Prokaryotes include bacteria & lack a nucleus or membrane-bound structures called organelles Eukaryotes include most other cells & have a nucleus and membrane- bound organelles (plants, fungi, & animals) Cells May be Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic
13
12 Prokaryotes Nucleoid region contains the DNA Cell membrane & cell wall Contain ribosomes (no membrane) to make proteins in their cytoplasm
14
13 Eukaryotic Cell Contain 3 basic cell structures: Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm with organelles
15
14 Two Main Types of Eukaryotic Cells Plant Cell Animal Cell
16
15 Organelles Very small size Can only be observed under a microscope Have specific functions Found throughout cytoplasm
17
16 Organelles Found in Cells Examples of Organelles include: Endoplasmic reticulum (rough & smooth) – canals for movement Golgi Bodies – wrap & export proteins Nucleolus – makes ribosomes Lysosomes – digests & gets rid of wastes Ribosomes – makes proteins
18
17 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
19
18 Lysosome 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)
20
19 Nucleolus Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Cell may have 1 to 3 nucleoli Inside nucleusInside nucleus Disappears when cell dividesDisappears when cell divides Makes ribosomes that make proteinsMakes ribosomes that make proteins
21
20 Smooth & Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth ER lacks ribosomes & makes proteins USED In the cell Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface & makes proteins to EXPORT
22
Structure of Plant Cells Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- Portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that has no ribosomes and thus appears smooth Produces steroids and other lipids Also called Smooth ER
23
Structure of Plant Cells Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum- Major portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes and thus appears rough Produces proteins Also called Rough ER
24
23 Rod shape Site of Cellular respiration Cell Powerhouse Mitochondrion ( mitochondria )
25
24 Active cells like muscles have more mitochondria Burn sugars to produce energy ATP In Animal Cells: Mitochondria
26
25 Lies immediately against the cell wall in plant cells Made of protein and phospholipids Selectively permeable Cell membrane Surrounding the Cell
27
26 Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell Selectively permeable Cell membrane Cell or Plasma Membrane
28
27 Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane Provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place Cytoplasm Cytoplasm of a Cell
29
28 Contains organelles to carry out specific jobs Examples: chloroplast & mitochondrion Cytoplasm More on Cytoplasm
30
29 Controls the normal activities of the cell Bounded by a nuclear membrane Contains chromosomes Control Organelle Nucleus
31
30 Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes that carry genes Genes control cell characteristics Nucleus More on the Nucleus
32
31 Contain the green pigment chlorophyll Traps sunlight to make to make sugars (food) Process called photosynthesis Plant Cell Organelles Chloroplast
33
32 Large empty spaces present between cellulose fibers Cell wall Plant Cell
34
33 Plant Cell Made of cellulose which forms very thin fibers Strong and rigid Found in plant cells Cell wall
35
34 Protect and support the enclosed substances Resist entry of excess water into the cell Give shape to the cell Cell wall Plant Cell
36
35 Have a large central vacuole Surrounded by tonoplast Contains cell sap Sugars, proteins, minerals, wastes, & pigments Plant Cell Organelles Vacuole
37
36 Different kinds of plant cells Onion Epidermal Cells Root Hair Cell root hair Guard Cells
38
37 mitochondrion nucleus glycogen granule cell membrane cytoplasm Animal cell No cell wall or chloroplast Stores glycogen in the cytoplasm for food energy vacuole
39
38 Animal Cell Organelles Near the nucleus Paired structures Help cell divide
40
39 Different kinds of animal cells white blood cell red blood cell cheek cells sperm nerve cell muscle cell Amoeba Paramecium
41
40 Similarities between plant cells and animal cells Both have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm Both have a nucleus Both contain mitochondria
42
41 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
43
42 Animal cellsPlant cells Vacuole small or absent Glycogen as food storage Nucleus at the center Large central vacuole Starch as food storage Nucleus near cell wall Differences between Plant Cells and Animal Cells
44
43 The cell is the Basic Unit of Life Cell is the smallest unit of living organisms 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
45
44 Levels of organization Cells are grouped together and work as a whole to perform special functions
46
45 Tissue A group of similar cells to perform a particular function –Animals : epithelial tissue, muscular tissue –Plants : vascular tissue, mesophyll
47
46 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
48
47 Stoma Air Space Spongy Mesophyll Cell Chloroplast The Structures of a Leaf (Plant Organ) Palisade Mesophyll Cell
49
48 The Structures of a Heart (Animal Organ)
50
49 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
51
50 Human Body Systems Examples of systems : Digestive System Respiratory System Circulatory System Nervous System Reproductive System
52
51 Examples of a Human Body System
