Unit 4: Cell Structure & Function http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html 1
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! 2
3
Discovery of Cells, cont. Matthias Schleiden (1838) concluded plants made of cells Thoedor Schwann (1839) concluded all animals made of cells 3
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 p_____________ cells through cell division. 4
5
Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions. 5
6
Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell Bacteria 6
7
Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic “pro-” means “before” (like “pre”) “karyon” means “nut” or kernel” No n______________ Older life forms are prokaryotes Eukaryotic “eu-” means “true” + “karyon”= kernel Has nucleus “newer” life forms are prokaryotic 7
8
Prokaryotic Cells Do not have o___________ surrounded by membranes V. few internal structures All prokaryotes are –one-celled organisms –B___________ http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html 8
9
Eukaryotic Cells Contain organelles surrounded by membranes Most living organisms are eukaryotic –Plants, animals, f_____, algae PlantAnimal http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html 9

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

12
Eukaryotic Cell Parts “Organelles” 12
13
Surrounding the Cell 13
14
Cell Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls m______ in and out of the cell Double layers of fat “phospholipid bilayer” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html What part of this word tells you that the cell membrane is made of fats? 14
15
Cell Wall Most commonly found in –plant cells –bacteria –fungi S_____ & p_____ cells Made of carbohydrate http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 15
16
Inside the Cell 16
17
Nucleus Directs cell activities Separated from c_______ by nuclear membrane Contains genetic material - DNA 17
18
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of t____ layers Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 18
19
Chromatin Form DNA takes most of the time. Like spaghetti Made of DNA wrapped up w/p_______. 19
20
Chromosomes In nucleus DNA wrapped up tight by proteins called “histones” Contain instructions for traits & characteristics http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 20
21
Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 21
22
Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane Contains hereditary material in prokaryotes 22
23
Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands Make proteins Found on e___________ r________ & floating in the cytoplasm http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 23
24
Endoplasmic Reticulum Moves materials around in cell Smooth type: –lacks ribosomes –Located in organisms that produce _____ like _____ Rough type (pictured): –R_____ are embedded in surface –Located in organs responsible for producing proteins, like the ________ http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 24
25
Mitochondria Produces energy through chemical reactions by breaking down f___ & c_________. –Also known as the “powerhouse of the cell” Controls level of water and other materials in cell Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 25
26
Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant' Move materials within the cell Move materials out of the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 26
27
Lysosome Digestive ‘factory' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates Transports undigested material to c___ m_______ for removal The cell will break down if lysosome breaks! http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 27
28
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal Contains water solution Help plants maintain s______ http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 28
29
Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells (not in animal) Contains green chlorophyll Where p__________ takes place http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html 29
30
Centrioles Used during animal cell division (not present in plant & most other cells) 30
31
Flagellum 31 Is a whiplike structure that extends outside the cell. Is used for movement.
32
Cilia Small, hairlike projections that extend outside the cell For m_______ & capturing food 32
33
Prokaryotic Cells Ribosomes DNA or RNA cytoplasm 33
34
Cell Boundaries Cell Membrane 1. Controls what goes in & out 2. Support & protection Cell Wall 1. Support & protection 34
35
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.) 35
36
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 This solution has a higher salt concentration 36
37
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) 37
38
Isotonic When solute concentration is equal throughout the solution 38
39
Osmosis Video Video The diffusion of water through a membrane Some molecules are too large to move through a membrane 39
40
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) 40
41
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) 41
42
How Osmosis Works in Cells see p 186 of text, Fig 7-16 Isotonic: Cell maintains its shape Hypertonic Hypotonic 42
