1. Chapter 7: Cell Structure & Function http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html

2. Discovery of Cells Robert Hooke (1600’s) discovered “little chambers” (cells) in cork plant Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1600’s)used microscope to view living things in pond water. Saw things swimming around!

3. Discovery of Cells, cont. Matthias Schleiden (1838) concluded plants made of cells Thoedor Schwann (1839) concluded all animals made of cells

4. Cell Theory 1. All living things are made up of cells. 2. Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. 3. All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.

5. Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.

6. Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell Bacteria

7. Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic “pro-” means “before” (like “pre”) “karyon” means “nut” or kernel” No nucleus Eukaryotic “eu-” means “true” Has nucleus

8. Prokaryotic Do not have organelles surrounded by membranes Few internal structures One-celled organisms, Bacteria http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html

9. Eukaryotic Contain organelles surrounded by membranes Most living organisms PlantAnimal http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html

10. “Typical” Animal Cell http://web.jjay.cuny.edu /~ acarpi/NSC/images/cell.gif

11. http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/plant3.gif “Typical” Plant Cell

12. Eukaryotic Cell Parts Organelles

13. Surrounding the Cell

14. Cell Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell Double layers of fat “”phospholipid bilayer” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

15. Cell Wall Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria & fungi Supports & protects cells Made of carbohydrate http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

16. Inside the Cell

17. Nucleus Directs cell activities Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane Contains genetic material - DNA

18. Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

19. Chromatin Form DNA takes most of the time. Like spaghetti Made of DNA wrapped up w/proteins

20. Chromosomes In nucleus DNA wrapped up tight by proteins called “histones” Contain instructions for traits & characteristics http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

21. Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

22. Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane Contains hereditary material in prokaryotes

23. Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands Make proteins Found on endoplasmic reticulum & floating in the cytoplasm http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

24. Endoplasmic Reticulum Moves materials around in cell Smooth type: lacks ribosomes Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

25. Mitochondria Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates Controls level of water and other materials in cell Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

26. Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant' Move materials within the cell Move materials out of the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

27. Lysosome Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

28. Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal Contains water solution Help plants maintain shape http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

29. Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells (not in animal) Contains green chlorophyll Where photosynthesis takes place http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

30. Centrioles Used during animal cell division (not present in plant & most other cells)

31. Prokaryotic Cells Ribosomes DNA or RNA cytoplasm

32. Cell Boundaries Cell Membrane 1. Controls what goes in & out 2. Support & protection Cell Wall 1. Support & protection

33. Diffusion through Cell Boundaries Every cell lives in a liquid environment Membrane controls movement of dissolved molecules back & forth (in & out of cell) (Remember a solution contains a –Solvent: the substance that dissolves the other stuff (often water) –solute: the substance that gets dissolved (salt, sugar, ions, etc.)

34. Concentration of Solutions The greater the ratio of solute to solvent, the higher the concentration. Ex: Solution #1: dissolve 5 g of salt in 1L of water. Concentration= 5g/L Solution #2: dissolve 10 g of salt in 1L of water. Concentration=10g/L

35. Diffusion In solution, particles move constantly, colliding & spreading out. Diffusion is the movement of particles from area of greater to lesser concentration (b/c of random motion.) Requires no energy to move substances across a membrane (b/c moved by random motion)

36. Equilibrium When solute concentration is equal throughout the solution

37. Osmosis The diffusion of water through a membrane Some molecules are too large to move through a membrane

38. How Osmosis Works see Fig 7-15 on p 185 If there is a selectively permeable membrane separating 2 solutions w/differing concentrations of solute, Water will move from the side where it is in greater concentration to where it is in lesser concentration. (R to L in picture)

39. Concentration of Solutions Isotonic: when the concentration of particles is the same on both sides of membrane Hypertonic: “above strength”- the stronger of the 2 solutions (L side) Hypotonic: “below strength”- the less concentrated of the 2 solutions (R side)

40. How Osmosis Works in Cells see p 186 of text, Fig 7-16 Isotonic: Cell maintains its shape Hypertonic
