Since every living thing is made of cells, does that mean bigger organisms (like whales or elephants) have bigger cells? Not really! All organisms, no matter how tiny or how large are composed of cells. There are different TYPES of cells (ex. Skin, bone, muscle, nerve), but all cells of a particular type are essentially the same size. Therefore, the difference in cells in large vs. small organisms is the NUMBER of cells, not the SIZE!
4
How Were Cells Discovered? New technologies lead to new discoveries Robert Hooke - invented the first microscope and was the first to observe and name the small units that make up organisms. He called those small units cells because of the appearance of the structures in the dead cork he observed.
5
How Were Cells Discovered? Anton van Leeuwenhoek - improved the microscope and procedures for observing cells. He was able to clearly see living cells when observing the scrapings from his teeth.

Fill It In … Cells observed by … Hooke: Leeuwenhoek:
7
The Cell Theory Through the cooperative efforts of many individual scientists, a unifying cell theory developed: 1.All organisms are made of cells 2.Cells are the structural & functional units of organisms 3.Cells come from pre-existing cells
8
The Cell Theory
9
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells Are all cells alike? Two main types of cells ….
10
1. Prokaryotic Cells a.Simplest type of cell b.Includes only bacteria. c.Structure of a prokaryotic cell i.No nucleus ii.No membrane-bound organelles iii.Includes: circular chromosome (DNA), plasmids (smaller rings of DNA, and ribosomes
11
Prokaryotic Cells- MYP Thought to have a symbiotic relationship with Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus Mitochondria Chloroplasts
12
2. Eukaryotic Cells a.More complex than prokaryotic cells b.Includes protist cells, fungi cells, plant cells, and animal cells (i.e. - everything EXCEPT bacteria cells) c.Structure of a eukaryotic cell i.Chromosomes contained within a nucleus ii.In addition to ribosomes contains membrane-bound organelles Cells :)

Check Yourself! 1.Who first to observed dead cells? Who first to observed living cells? 2.What are the two main types of cells? 3.How is the location of the DNA different in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
15

17
Check Yourself! 1.Who first to observed dead cells? HOOKE Who first to observed living cells? LEEUWENHOEK 2.What are the two main types of cells? PROKARYOTIC & EUKARYOTIC 3.How is the location of the DNA different in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? EUKARYOTIC CELLS KEEP THE DNA INSIDE A NUCLEUS
18
What do cells share? Structures found in ALL cells
19
DNA/Chromosome(s) 1.DNA organized as chromosome(s). DNA directs cell activity
20
Cytoplasm 2. Cytoplasm is the “filling” of the cell and is made of up to 90% water. Water provides the necessary environment for all the chemical reactions the cell needs
21
Ribosomes 3. Ribosomes are organelles that are the site of protein synthesis. Proteins are essential for enzymes, structure, and communication Uses DNA code to synthesize proteins
22
4. Cell Membrane Also called the Plasma Membrane
23
Fill It In … 4 structures found in ALL cells: 1. 2. 3. 4.
24
Cell Membrane a.Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the cell membrane
25
Cell Membrane i.Fluid - individual phospholipids and proteins can move past each other; they are not fixed in one position ii.Mosaic - the membrane has more than one type of molecule (phospholipids & proteins)
26
Cell Membrane- MYP Flexible/strong barrier Some proteins from channel or pumps to allow things to go in and out of the cell Carbohydrates are attached to membrane These are used as chemical identification markers for the cell
27
b. Functions of the Cell Membrane i.Selectively permeable - regulates what enters and leaves the cell. This helps maintain homeostasis ii.Gives the cell (cytoplasm) shape
28
Fill It In … The cell membrane is also called … And is S____________ P_____________
29
B. Structures (organelles) found in EUKARYOTIC cells
30
Fill It In … Organelle means … “tiny organ” – specialized structure inside a cell that performs a specific function
31
1. Nucleus Nucleus - surrounds the chromosomes for additional protection; is made of a phospholipid bilayer
32
Nucleus- MYP Surrounded by nuclear envelope (lipid bilayer) Nuclear pores Chromatin- DNA bound to proteins Chromosomes are condensed chromatin Nucleolus- dense region where ribosomes are synthesized
33
2. Mitochondria Mitochondria - site of cellular respiration which produces cell energy (ATP) Active cells (muscle) -> hundreds of mitochondria Inactive cells (fat) -> few mitochondria Structure contains folded membranes which increases surface area allowing more space for more reactions (MYP)-inherited through the ovum
34
Vacuoles - store food, waste or water to be used inside the cell or excreted from the cell. Size differs in plant vs. animal cells Much, much larger in plant cells … why? 3. Vacuole
35
Lysosomes - contain digestive enzymes which digest food contained in vacuoles as well as old or damaged cell parts (contain lipid bilayer) 4. Lysosomes
36
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) ER - a series of interconnected folded membranes that function in modifying (changing) proteins, detoxification of alcohols, and communication
37
ER (MYP) Lipid components of the cell membrane are made here Proteins and other material are exported or inserted into the cell membrane
38
Two Types of ER Rough ER Covered in ribosomes Modify proteins
39
Two Types of ER Smooth ER Lacks ribosomes Detoxification
40
Golgi Complex - packages materials for export from cells (MYP)- Modify, Sort, and Package “finishing touches” 6. Golgi Complex
41
Plant Cell versus Animal Cell
42
1.Chloroplasts - organelles full of chlorophyll that are the site of photosynthesis which produces sugars (C6H12O6) Composed of folded membranes for more surface area Structures found ONLY in plant and plant-like cells
43
2. Cell Wall - provides extra support, protection, and shape for the cell Found outside the cell membrane and made of cellulose Structures found ONLY in plant and plant-like cells
44
Centrioles - organelle that helps with cell division in animal cells Structure found ONLY in animal cells
45
Cytoskeleton (MYP) Protein filaments to help maintain shape May help with movement (amoeba) Microtubules help with cell division (pulling the chromosomes)
47
