1. Living Things and Cells Structures that make things be “alive”

2. Life Processes: What makes something “alive”? ALL living things do these six processes: 1. Take in nutrients. 2. Use energy 3. Produce wastes. 4. Grow 5. Reproduce 6. Respond to their environment

3. Cell Size

4. Characteristics of All Cells A surrounding membrane Protoplasm – cell contents in thick fluid Organelles – structures for cell function Control center with DNA

5. vTwo cell types – Prokaryotes (Prokaryotic Cells) – Eukaryotes (Eukaryotic Cells)

6. Prokaryotic Cells First cell type on earth Cell type of Bacteria and Archaea

7. Prokaryotic Cells No membrane bound nucleus Nucleoid = region of DNA concentration Organelles not bound by membranes

8. Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus bound by membrane Include fungi, protists, plant, and animal cells Possess many organelles Protozoan

10. Two Types of Eukaryotic Cells 1.Animal Cell 2.Plant Cell vBoth cells function similarly

11. Cell Organelles Organelle = “little organs” – Specialized structures that perform specific jobs in the cell Found only in eukaryotic cells Many are “membrane-bound” (a membrane surrounds the organelle) All the stuff in between the organelles is cytosol Everything in a cell except the nucleus is cytoplasm

12. Plasma (Cell) Membrane Contains cell contents Double layer of phospholipids & proteins

13. Phospholipids Polar – Hydrophylic head – Hydrophobic tail Interacts with water

14. Movement Across the Plasma Membrane A few molecules move freely – Water, Carbon dioxide, Ammonia, Oxygen Carrier proteins transport some molecules – Proteins embedded in lipid bilayer – Fluid mosaic model – describes fluid nature of a lipid bilayer with proteins

16. Membrane Proteins 1. Channels or transporters – Move molecules in one direction 2. Receptors – Recognize certain chemicals

17. Membrane Proteins 3. Glycoproteins – Identify cell type 4. Enzymes – Catalyze production of substances

18. Cell Wall Rigid, protective barrier (maintains cell shape) Found in plant and bacterial cells Located outside of the cell membrane Made of cellulose (Carbohydrate fiber)

19. Cytoplasm Viscous fluid containing organelles components of cytoplasm – Interconnected filaments & fibers – Fluid = cytosol – Organelles (not nucleus) – storage substances

20. Cytoskeleton Filaments & fibers Made of 3 fiber types – Microfilaments – Microtubules – Intermediate filaments 3 functions: – mechanical support – anchor organelles – help move substances

21. Nucleus Control center of the cell Stores DNA (chromosomes) Surrounded by the nuclear membrane – Pores let material in and out Also contains the Nucleolus, which makes ribosomes

22. Nuclear Envelope Separates nucleus from rest of cell Double membrane Has pores

23. DNA Hereditary material Chromosomes – DNA – Protiens – Form for cell division Chromatin

24. Nucleolus Most cells have 2 or more Directs synthesis of RNA Forms ribosomes

25. Endoplasmic Reticulum Transport system for materials in cell Two Types: Rough ER: covered with ribosomes; site of protein synthesis Smooth ER: NO ribosomes; it makes hormones & lipids

26. Ribosome Smallest organelle NOT surrounded by a membrane Makes proteins according to DNA instructions. Two Types: – Free ribosomes: float free in cytosol – Bound ribosomes: attached to rough ER That looks familiar…what is a polypeptide?

27. Golgi Apparatus Delivery system of the cell Collects, modifies, and packages molecules in the cell Distributes and transports molecules in vesicles

28. Lysosomes Clean-up crew of the cell Contain digestive enzymes that break down macromolecules for the cell to use Removes waste particles

29. Vacuoles Storage tank Holds water, food, enzymes, wastes, etc Large central vacuole usually in plant cells – Supports cell shape in plants Many smaller vacuoles in animal cells

30. Mitochondria “Powerhouse” of the cell Site of cellular respiration Converts energy stored in food into energy the cell needs – ATP Sugar + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP ATP = Adenosine triphosphate ATP = Adenosine triphosphate

31. Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis Changes sunlight energy into chemical energy (glucose) Contains green pigment, chlorophyll Found only in plant cells and algae Sunlight + Carbon Dioxide + Water Sugar + Oxygen
