Cell Structure and Function What the cell is going on here?
3
CELL BIOLOGY All living things are made up of small individual units called cells. Cells are the smallest functioning living unit. Cells can not normally be seen with the naked eye. To usually observe a cell, you need a microscope !
4
Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek used the first 'primitive' microscopes to observe stuff in the mid 1600's! In the 400+ years since, improvements in the microscope have allowed scientists to observe cells better and to develop the cell theory.
5
The Cell Theory 1. All organisms are made up of one or more cells (unicellular or multicellular). 2. All cells carry out the 7 life functions. 3.All cells come from preexisting cells. BUT...
6
Exceptions to Cell Theory A. Where did the first cells come from? CHICKEN AND THE EGG SYNDROME B. Viruses are NOT composed of cells. But they do contain genetic material (DNA and/or RNA). They also can reproduce in the presence of a host cell. C. Some cell parts (mitochondria and chloroplast) contain their own genetic material (DNA and/or RNA) and can reproduce in a cell.
7
Remember: 3 PARTS TO THE CELL THEORY & 3 EXCEPTIONS TO THE CELL THEORY
8
a great way to see how big different things are; good metric review http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm
9
How Life is Organized...
10
Atoms and Molecules the building blocks of everything in the universe
11
Organelles small parts of cells that have specific functions different organelles have different jobs
12
Cells the building blocks of life all living things are made up of one (unicellular) or more (multicellular) cells there are many types ex. muscle cells, neurons (brain cells), skin cells, bone cells, blood cells
13
Tissue a group of cells that perform a certain function ex. muscles, tendons, nerves
14
Organs a group of tissues that perform a certain function like organelles, different organs carry out different functions ex. brain, heart, skin, liver, intestines
15
Organ Systems a group of organs that perform a certain function organ systems have specific jobs ex. digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system, reproductive system
16
Organism a thing that carries out the 7 life functions
17
Population a group of organisms of the same species in a given area
18
Community a group of populations in a given area
19
Ecosystem a community and the physical non-living environment that it exists in
20
Biosphere the region of earth where life exists all ecosystems on the planet make up the biosphere
22
As microscopes improved over the years, scientists were able to see into cells with more detail. There were able to see that there are two main types of cells... PROKARYOTES and EUKARYOTES Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
24
Prokaryotes lack any internal membranes only the kingdoms bacteria and archaebacteria are prokaryotes
25
Eukaryotes have many internal membrane structures: nucleus-contains genetic material other organelles ('small organs')
26
Both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are Basically Alike both have outer membranes both carry out the 7 life functions
27
ProkaryoteEukaryoteUnicellularMulticellular Archaebacteria Bacteria Protist Fungi Plant Animal
28
Comparing Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes ProkaryotesEukaryotes Cell Membrane Contain DNA Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Body Vacuoles Lysosome Mitochondria Cytoskeleton
29
In cells, various specialized functions occur in specific places. These places are like small organs to the cell. They are called organelles! They’re like mini-organs! Different Cell Parts Do Different Jobs
30
Organelles allow the cell to do 3 main jobs make energy need energy for all activities need to clean up waste produced while making energy make proteins proteins do all the work in a cell, so we need lots of them make more cells for growth to replace damaged or diseased cells Our organelles do all these jobs! Different Cell Parts Do Different Jobs
31
Making energy to fuel daily life & growth, the cell must… take in food & digest it take in oxygen (O 2 ) make ATP remove waste organelles that do this work… cell membrane lysosomes vacuoles & vesicles mitochondria chloroplast (plant cells only)
32
Function separates cell from outside controls what enters or leaves cell O 2, CO 2, food, H 2 O, nutrients, waste recognizes signals from other cells allows communication between cells
33
Structure double layer of fat phospholipid bilayer receptor molecules proteins “protein ice bergs floating in a fatty sea” lipid “tail” phosphate “head ”
35
Function digest food used to make energy clean up & recycle digest broken organelles Structure membrane sac of digestive enzymes
36
Function moving material around cell storage – plants store more, so they have larger vacuoles. Structure membrane sac
37
Function make ATP energy from cellular respiration sugar + O 2 ATP fuels the work of life Structure double membrane
38
Mitochondria make energy from sugar + O 2 cellular respiration sugar + O 2 ATP Chloroplasts make energy + sugar from sunlight photosynthesis sunlight + CO 2 ATP & sugar ATP = active energy sugar = stored energy build leaves & roots & fruit out of the sugars ATP sugar ATP
39
Making proteins to run daily life & growth, the cell must… read genes (DNA) build proteins structural proteins (muscle fibers, hair, skin, claws) enzymes (speed up chemical reactions) signals (hormones) & receptors organelles that do this work… nucleus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) golgi apparatus
40
cells DNA proteins one of the major job of cells is to make proteins, because… one of the major job of cells is to make proteins, because… proteins do all the work! signals structural enzymes receptors
41
Function control center of cell protects DNA instructions for building proteins Structure nuclear membrane nucleolus ribosome factory chromosomes DNA
42
Function protein factories read instructions to build proteins from DNA Structure some free in cytoplasm some attached to ER
43
Function works on proteins helps complete the proteins after ribosome builds them makes membranes Structure rough ER ribosomes attached works on proteins smooth ER makes membranes
44
transport vesicles vesicles carrying proteins Function finishes, sorts, labels & ships proteins like UPS headquarters shipping & receiving department ships proteins in vesicles “UPS trucks” Structure membrane sacs
45
DNA RNA ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum vesicle Golgi apparatus vesicle protein on its way! protein finished protein Making Proteins TO: nucleus TO:
46
Making more cells to replace, repair & grow, the cell must… copy their DNA make extra organelles divide the new DNA & new organelles between 2 new “daughter” cells organelles that do this work… nucleus centrioles
47
Function help coordinate cell division only in animal cells Structure one pair in each cell
48
cell membrane cell boundary controls movement of materials in & out recognizes signals cytoplasm jelly-like material holding organelles in place mitochondria make ATP energy from sugar + O 2 nucleus protects DNA controls cell ribosomes builds proteins ER helps finish proteins makes membranes Golgi apparatus finishes, packages & ships proteins lysosome food digestion garbage disposal & recycling vacuole & vesicles transport inside cells storage centrioles cell division
49
central vacuole storage: food, water or waste mitochondria make ATP in cellular respiration chloroplast make ATP & sugars in photosynthesis cell wall support cell membrane cell boundary controls movement of materials in & out recognizes signals Golgi apparatus finish & ship proteins nucleus control cell protects DNA endoplasmic reticulum processes proteins makes membranes lysosome digestion & clean up ribosomes make proteins cytoplasm jelly-like material around organelles nucleolus make ribosomes
50
Cells have 3 main jobs make energy make proteins make more cells
51

53
are not cells! viruses can NOT carry out most life functions, however...they can REPRODUCE reproduction of viruses can only happen inside a host cell! viruses, along with bacteria (cells), fungi (cells), and other parasites can infect plants and animals and interfere with normal life functions! ex. influenza, HIV, chicken pox, polio, smallpox (gone!), viral pneumonia
