Do now: What is a cell? How are prokaryotic cells different from eukaryotic cells? Categorize the kingdoms into each How are plant cells different from animal cells? List as many organelles as you can and describe their functions

Overview: The Fundamental Units of Life All organisms are made of one or more cells. Smallest unit of life All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells Though cells can differ substantially from one another, they share common features © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Why are cells small? Metabolic requirements set upper limits on the size of cells The ratio of surface area to volume of a cell is critical As the surface area increases by a factor of n 2, the volume increases by a factor of n 3 Small cells have a greater surface area relative to volume © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 4.1: Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells Most cells are between 1 and 100 m in diameter, too small to be seen by the unaided eye © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Two basic types of electron microscopes (EMs) are used to study subcellular structures Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen, providing images that look three-dimensional Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) focus a beam of electrons through a specimen TEM is used mainly to study the internal structure of cells © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

The endosymbiont theory An early ancestor of eukaryotic cells engulfed a nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell, which formed an endosymbiont relationship with its host The host cell and endosymbiont merged into a single organism, a eukaryotic cell with a mitochondrion At least one of these cells may have taken up a photosynthetic prokaryote, becoming the ancestor of cells that contain chloroplasts © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cilia and Flagella Microtubules control the beating of cilia and flagella, microtubule-containing extensions projecting from some cells How are flagella and cilia different? Flagella are limited to one or a few per cell, while cilia occur in large numbers on cell surfaces © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
51
Microfilaments (Actin Filaments) Microfilaments are thin solid rods, built from molecules of globular actin subunits Function: Muscle: The structural role of microfilaments is to bear tension, resisting pulling forces within the cell Bundles of microfilaments make up the core of microvilli of intestinal cells © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
52
Intermediate Filaments Intermediate filaments are larger than microfilaments but smaller than microtubules They support cell shape and fix organelles in place Intermediate filaments are more permanent cytoskeleton elements than the other two classes © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 4.7: Extracellular components and connections between cells help coordinate cellular activities Most cells synthesize and secrete materials that are external to the plasma membrane These extracellular materials are involved in many cellular functions © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
54
Cell Walls of Plants The cell wall is an extracellular structure that distinguishes plant cells from animal cells Prokaryotes, fungi, and some protists also have cell walls Structure: Plant cell walls are made of cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharides and protein Function: The cell wall protects the plant cell, maintains its shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
55
Plasmodesmata are channels between adjacent plant cells Through plasmodesmata, water and small solutes (and sometimes proteins and RNA) can pass from cell to cell © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Video: Extracellular Matrix Video: Fibronectin Video: Collagen Model

The Extracellular Matrix (ECM) of Animal Cells Animal cells lack cell walls but are covered by an elaborate extracellular matrix (ECM) The ECM is made up of glycoproteins such as collagen, proteoglycans, and fibronectin ECM proteins bind to receptor proteins in the plasma membrane called integrins © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
