Cell Structure & Function
2
Life is Cellular
3
A little history… 1600s: van Leeuwenhoek used microscope to study nature 1665: Hooke used microscope to look at plant tissue & cork; called them “cells” 1838: Schleiden concluded that all plants were made of cells 1839: Schwann concluded that animals are made of cells 1855: Virchow studied cell reproduction and concluded that cells come from cells
4
What is a cell? The basic unit of ALL living organisms. Scale of Life
5
Cell Theory All living things are composed of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure & function in living things. New cells are made from existing cells.
6
Types of cells: Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
7
Prokaryotes Unicellular No nucleus Asexual reproduction Example: bacteria
8
Eukaryotes Unicellular or multicellular Nucleus present Organelles present Sexual reproduction Examples: plants, animals, people
9
All cells have: Cell membrane Cytoplasm Ribosomes Cell wall (plants only)
10
Cell membrane The “skin” of the cell. Protects cell from outside environment. Regulates flow of water, nutrients & waste.
11
Cytoplasm Material inside the membrane (not including the nucleus). Contains many important structures.
12
Other cell parts to know: Cell Wall Found outside cell membrane Supports & protects cell Plant cells only!!! Cytoskeleton Maintains shape Movement NucleusOrganelles
13
Nucleus The “brain” of the cell. Controls cell functions. Contains DNA. Surrounded by nuclear envelope.
14
Organelles ”Little organs” Specialized parts of the cell. Examples: ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles
15
Cell Transport
16
Cell Membrane Functions: Provides protection and support. Provides protection and support. Regulates what enters Regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Takes in food and water. Takes in food and water. Eliminates waste. Eliminates waste. Allows the cell to maintain homeostasis. Allows the cell to maintain homeostasis.
18
Parts of the Cell Membrane
19
Concentration How many molecules are in a given volume. (How crowded the molecules are.) Concentration = Amount of solute Volume of Solution Volume of Solution Every cell is surrounded by liquid and has a liquid interior (cytoplasm) that are solutions of many different substances. High ConcentrationLow Concentration
21
Osmosis in Cells Hypotonic: the solution outside has a lower solute concentration that inside the cell. Isotonic: the concentration of solutes is the same both in and out of the cell Hypertonic: the solution outside has a higher solute concentration than inside the cell
23
Homeostasis & Cells
24
Cell Specialization
25
Cells – Tissues- Organs- Organ Systems- Organism
26
The basic unit of life. Cell
27
A group of cells that perform a particular function. Four types: Connective Epithelial Muscle Nervous Tissue
28
A group of tissues working together to perform a particular function. Examples: Heart Stomach Lungs Organs
29
A group of organs working together. Examples: Nervous system Circulatory system Digestive system Organ System
30
Any living thing. Organism
31
