1. The Cell The basic unit of life

2. Cell History The study of cells is called cytology. Robert Hooke was the first scientist to use the word cell. Robert Brown discovered the nucleus in 1833. Theodor Schwann discovered that animals were made of cells in 1838.

3. Cell Theory (p. 39) The Cell Theory states that: 1. All living things are composed of a cell or cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of life. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells.

4. What We’re Studying NOW! Eukaryotic Cell: A cell that contains a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles (All kingdoms except monera [bacteria] contain this type of cell.) Organelle: A small part of the cell, usually enclosed by a membrane that performs a specialized function.

5. Animal Cell Organelles Nucleus Mitochondria Ribosome Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Complex (or Apparatus) Lysosome Cell Membrane

6. END OF DAY 1

7. The Nucleus (p. 40 & 41) The center of cellular activity. Bordered by a porous membrane. Contains thin fibers of DNA and protein called Chromatin. Contains a small round nucleolus which produces ribosomes. Nucleolus Chromatin

8. The Mitochondria It contains two membranes. It’s the size of a bacterium. Contains its own DNA. Produces the high energy compound ATP.

9. Ribosomes Small non-membrane bound organelles. They contain two sub units. The center of protein synthesis. They are either free floating or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum. Ribosome (dots)

10. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) A complex network of transport channels. Two types: Smooth and Rough. The Smooth ER is ribosome free and functions in poison detoxification. The Rough ER contains ribosomes and releases newly made protein from the cell. Ribosome

11. END OF DAY 2

12. Golgi Apparatus (p. 42 & 43) A series of flattened sacs that modifies, packages, stores, and transports materials out of the cell. Works with the ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum.

13. Lysosomes A membrane bound organelle containing a variety of enzymes. Their internal pH is 5. (slightly base) They help digest food particles inside or out side the cell. They are instrumental in recycling cellular waste.

14. Cytoskeleton Framework of the cell Contains small microfilaments and larger microtubules. They support the cell, giving it its shape and help with the movement of its organelles. Microtubules

15. Cell Membrane Don’t Draw this! The boundary of the cell. Composed of three distinct layers. Two layers of fat and one layer of protein.

16. Draw This Cell Membrane!

17. END OF DAY 4

18. PLANT CELLS Have Cell Walls Have Chloroplast Large Central Vacuole

20. Cell Wall Plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria contain an extra structure surrounding its plasma membrane. It is called a cell wall. Cellulose, Chitin, and peptidoglycan are the materials found in these cell walls.

21. The Vacuole Sacs that help in food digestion or helping the cell maintain its water balance. Found mostly in plants and protists. Cell Membrane Cell Wall Tonoplast Chloroplast Nucleus

22. The Chloroplast Contains a double membrane. The center section contains stacks of coin-like grana. The Grana make up the thylakoid. The grana is surrounded by a gel-like material called the stroma. Found in plants and algae. Thylakoid Granum Stroma

23. The Chloroplast (Continued) Chloroplast has a green pigmentation. This is also where photosynthesis occurs. Thylakoid Granum Stroma

24. PHOTOSYNTHESIS!

25. End Day 5

26. Cell Types Eukaryotic Contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. Rod shaped chromosomes Found in all kingdoms except the Eubacteria and Archaebacteria Prokaryotic Does not contain a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles. One circular chromosome Found only in the Eubacteria and Archaebacteria Kingdoms
