Chapter 7 A Tour of the Cell
2
cells – basic units of structure/function microscopy – light microscope (LM) electron microscope (TEM, SEM) -resolving power -Leeuwenhoek (1600’s) -Robert Hooke (1665) -cell fractionation - centrifuge
3
Figure 7.1 The size range of cells
4
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic cells
(largest distinction) Cytoplasm/cytosol Cell size limitations plasma membrane – thin, transparent, phospholipid bilayer, flexible, selectively permeable, porous
5
Structures found in all cells
Cytosol Plasma membrane Ribosomes DNA (chromatin/chromosomes)
6
Organization – Ultrastructure:. Nucleus. ~ 5mm diameter
Organization – Ultrastructure: Nucleus ~ 5mm diameter nuclear envelope: pore complex chromosomes/chromatin nucleolus: nucleolar organizers

Tight junctions – continuous belts fused to prevent leakage ex: intestinal epithelium 2) Desmosomes – anchoring junctions ex: epithelial sheets Gap junctions – communicating junctions ex: in heart muscle cells
