1
An inside look at the structure and function of cells
2
Zacharias Janssen ◦ A Dutch lens grinder invented the first compound microscope by placing two lenses together in a tube. ◦ Lead to the discovery of cells and smaller organisms ◦ Major technological breakthrough for biologists.
3
Anton van Leeuwenhoek ◦ Known as the father of modern microscopy. ◦ Discovered single-celled animal-like organisms that are now called protozoan's. Robert Hook ◦ Took the first look through a microscope at cork cells. ◦ He noticed many different chambers and called them cells. ◦ First one to draw pictures of organisms under a microscope.
5
Dissecting ◦ Used to view live specimen while dissecting Compound Light ◦ Can be used to view living or dead organisms with increased magnification. SEM or TEM ◦ Allows you to see 3-D images of specimens. ◦ Can only view specimens that are dead!
8
Matthais Schleiden- Studied plants and found out that they were made of individual cells. Theodor Schwann- Looked at animal tissues and realized that they were made of indivual cells. Rudolph Virchow- Proposed that all cells are produced from the division of exisiting cells. These three ideas are the basis of Modern CELL THEORY!!!
9
All living things are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function for all organisms. Cells only come from previously existing cells.
10
Cells are the basic building blocks of organisms Most cells can only be observed under a microscope The basic types of cells can include Plant Animal Bacteria
12
Prokaryotic- lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles called organelles. ◦ Mostly bacteria cells Eukaryotic – have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. (protista, plant, animals, and fungi)
13
Cell membrane & cell wall Nucleoid region contains the DNA Contain ribosomes (no membrane) to make proteins in their cytoplasm
14
Contain 3 basic cell structures: Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm with organelles
15
Plant Cell Animal Cell
16
Are membrane bound structures inside the cell that are used to complete daily processes. They act like organs in our bodies and create, breakdown and expel materials necessary for life.
17
Controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell Selectively permeable Lies immediately against the cell wall in plant cells Made of protein and phospholipids Fluid Mosaic
19
Jelly-like substance (cytosol) enclosed by the cell membrane -Provides a medium for chemical reactions to take place - Contains organelles to carry out specific jobs
20
- Powerhouse of the cell - Rod shape - Site of cellular respiration which uses organic compounds to produce ATP - Number of mitochondria in a cell depends on the work that type of cell does (liver cells=2,500) - Cristae folded membranes inside the organelle
21
Most numerous No membrane Made of proteins and RNA MAKE PROTEINS Can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to ER
22
Smooth ER lacks ribosomes & makes enzymes and steroids USED In the cell Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface & makes proteins to EXPORT Closely associated with the nucleus
23
Stacks of flattened sacs Have a shipping side & a receiving side (like a post office) Receive & modify proteins made by ER Transport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off the ends
24
Contain digestive enzymes Break down food and worn out cell parts for cells
25
Site of water and waste storage. Animal cells have small ones throughout the cell. Plants have a large central vacuole.
26
Controls the normal activities of the cell ◦ Bounded by a nuclear membrane (envelope) ◦ Contains chromosomes (DNA) ◦ Nucleolus Inside nucleus Makes ribosomes
27
Hair-like structures that are used for movement. Cilia- are short and there are thousands of them. Flagella- long whip-like structure.
28
Cell Wall ◦ Dead layer (cellulose fibers) ◦ Freely permeable ◦ Gives shape to the cell Central Vacuole ◦ Store waste and enzymes
29
◦ Contain the green pigment chlorophyll ◦ Traps sunlight to make sugars (food) photosynthesis
30
Centriole ◦ Near the nucleus ◦ Paired structures ◦ Help cell divide
31
-structure to maintain cell shape and size -protein strands - include spindle fibers used in cell division
32
The shape of a cell is the result of its function.
33
white blood cell red blood cell cheek cells sperm nerve cell muscle cell Amoeba Paramecium
34
Animal cells Irregular shape No cell wall Relatively smaller in size Vacuole small or absent Nucleus at the center Glycogen as food storage Plant cells Regular shape Cell wall present Relatively larger in size Large central vacuole Nucleus near cell wall Starch as food storage
