1
Cell Structure & Function
2
Outcome addressed today!! 304-4illustrate and explain that the cell is a living system that exhibits all of the characteristic of life.
3
Cell Theory All living things are made up of cells. 1) Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. 2) All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.
4
Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
5
WHAT IS AN ORGANISM? a living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently An individual living system, such as animal, plant or micro-organism, that is capable of reproduction, growth and maintenance.

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

Cell Parts Organelles
11
Surrounding the Cell
12
Cell Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls movement of materials in and out of the cell Double layer
13
Cell Wall Found in plant cells & bacteria Supports cells (outer layer) Protects against water loss
14
Inside the Cell
15
Nucleus Directs cell activities Near the center of the cell Contains genetic material - DNA
16
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
17
Chromosomes In nucleus Contain genetic information (characteristics) Made of DNA
18
Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins
19
Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane Holds all the organelles
20
Endoplasmic Reticulum Moves materials and messages around the cell Smooth type: lacks ribosomes Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface
21
Ribosomes 803 Each cell contains thousands Make proteins Found on rough endoplasmic reticulum & floating throughout the cell
22
Mitochondria Produces energy (power house of the cell) Controls level of water and other materials in cell
23
Golgi Bodies 802 Protein 'packaging plant‘ and secretes (gets rid of waste) Move materials out of the cell
24
Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Destorys bacteria and old cell parts
25
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage of water and waste Help plants maintain shape
26
Chloroplast Found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll Traps suns energy and makes food
27
Cell Parts and Functions Cilia Short hair-like projections Used for movement Location: outside of cell Flagella Long whip-like tail Used for movement Location: outside of cell
