Ch. 7 Cellular Structure and Function p. 180 -207
2
7.1 Cell Discovery and Theory p. 182-186
3
Big Idea Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms
4
7.1 Cell Discovery and Theory p. 182-186
5
Essential Question What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
6
Main Idea The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of cells.
7
Robert Hooke Made a simple microscope Observed small, box-shaped structures in a piece of cork Most scientists observed tiny organisms using the first microscopes
8
Cell The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms
9
Anton van Leeuwenhock Designed a microscope that allowed him to see living organisms in pond water, milk, and various other substances
10
Cell Theory 1.All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2.Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization of all living organisms 3.Cells arise only from previously existing cells, with cells passing copies of their genetic material on to their daughter cell
11
Microscopes Compound light microscope - Utilizes a series of glass lenses and visible light to magnify an image Magnifies up to 1000 times
13
Microscopes Electron Microscopes uses magnets to aim a beam of electrons at an object to produce an image Magnifies up to 500,000 times
14
Pollen
15
Plasma Membrane A special boundary that helps control what enters and leaves the cell
16
Eukaryotic cells Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes
17
Prokaryotic cells Cells without a nucleus or other membrane- bound oragnaelles
18
Comparison of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic Cells –True nucleus –Membrane-bound organelles –Usually larger in size –Example: cells that make up a human Prokaryotic Cells –No true nucleus –No membrane-bound organelles –Smaller in size –Example: bacteria

7.2 The Plasma Membrane p. 187-190
21
Main Idea The plasma membrane helps to maintain a cell’s homeostasis
22
Essential Question What is the plasma membrane and what is its function?
23
Homeostasis Is maintaining balance in an organism’s internal environment
24
Plasma Membrane Responsible for maintaining homeostasis in a cell A thin flexible boundary between a cell and its environment Allows nutrients into the cell and allows waste and other products to leave the cell
25
Selective permeability When a membrane allows some substances to pass through while keeping others out
26
p. 187, fig 7.5 (right) What substances are allowed into the cell by the plasma membrane? What substances are allowed out of the cell by the plasma membrane? What type of substance is kept out?
27
p. 187, fig 7.5 (right) What substances are allowed into the cell by the plasma membrane? –Water, oxygen and glucose What substances are allowed out of the cell by the plasma membrane? –Water, wastes and carbon dioxide What type of substance is kept out? –Wastes
28
Phospholipid bilayer 2 layers of phospholipids arranged tail-to- tail This arrangement allows the membrane to exist in watery environments
29
Phospholipid Polar head – faces the watery environment –Is attracted to the water Nonpolar tail – faces each other
30
Find the polar head, and nonpolar tail
31
Phospholipid bilayer Functions to separate the environment inside the cell from the environment outside of the cell
32
Transport Proteins Move substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane
33
Proteins Transmit signals inside the cell Act as a support structure Provide pathways for substances to enter and leave
34
Cholesterols Prevent fatty acid tails from sticking together
35
Carbohydrates Identify chemical signals
36
Fluid mosaic model The phospholipid bilayer allows other molecules to “float” in the membrane.

7.3 Structure and Organelles p. 191 - 200
39
Main Idea Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that allow the specialization and the separation of functions within the cell
40
Essential Question What are the component parts of a cell and what are their functions?
41
Cytoplasm The environment inside the plasma membrane that is a semifluid material
42
Cytoskeleton A supporting network of long, thin protein fibers that form a framework for the cell and provide an anchor for the organelles inside the cell Made up of microfilaments and microtubules
43
Nucleus “manages” the cell Contains DNA that stores genetic information Nucleolus – where ribosomes are made
44
Nuclear Membrane Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus Nuclear pore –opening that allows larger- sized substances to move in and out of the nucleus
45
Ribosome Help manufacture proteins Made up of RNA and protein
46
Endoplasmic Reticulum Aka ER A membrane system of folded sacs and interconnected channels that serves as the site for protein and lipid synthesis Rough ER – area of ER where ribosomes are attached Smooth ER – area of the ER where there are no ribosomes attached
47
Golgi Apparatus A flattened stack of membranes that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for distribution into and outside of the cell
48
Vacuole A sac used to store food, enzymes, and other materials needed by a cell Mostly found in plant cells
49
Lysosomes Vesicles that contain substances that digest excess or worn-out organelles and food particles
50
Centrioles Groups of microtubules Function during cell division We will learn more about these in ch. 9
51
Mitochondria “energy generators” that convert fuel particles (sugars) into usable energy Aka “powerhouse” of the cell
52
Chloroplast Organelles that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis Only found in plant cells
53
Cell Wall Thick, rigid mesh of fibers that surrounds the outside of the plasma membrane, protecting the cell and giving it support Only in plant cells
54
Cilia and Flagella Structures that project outside the plasma membrane Cilia – short, numerous projections that look like hairs Flagella – long, less numerous projections that move in a whiplike motion
57
End of 7.3
58
7.4 Cellular Transport p. 201 - 207
59
Main Idea Cellular transport moves substances within the cell and moves substances into and out of the cell
60
Essential Question How are substances moved into and out of a cell?
61
Diffusion The net movement of particles from an area where there are many particles of the substance to an area where there are fewer particles of the substance Example: a drop of ink in water
62
Dynamic equilibrium The condition in which there is continuous movement but no overall change Example: ink that has been dropped in water last hour
63
Facilitated Diffusion Substances move into the cell through a water-filled transport protein called a channel The protein is “facilitating” the diffusion of the water
64
Osmosis Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane Look at fig 7.22 pg. 203
65
Isotonic solution A solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes (ions, sugars, proteins) –Iso means same
66
Hypotonic solution A solution that has a lower concentration of solute –There is more water outside the cell than in it –Cell swells
67
Hypertonic solution The concentration of the solute outside of the cell is higher than inside –Cell shrivels
68
Active Transport The movement of substances across the plasma membrane against a concentration gradient Requires energy
69
Endocytosis The cell engulfs an object Example: cellular eating in unicellular organisms
70
Exocytosis The secretion of materials at the plasma membrane Example: to expel waste from a cell
