1 Cell Structure and Function

2 Cells Smallest living unit Most are microscopic

3 Discovery of Cells Robert Hooke (mid-1600s) –Observed sliver of cork –Saw “row of empty boxes” –Coined the term cell

4 Cell theory (1839)Theodor Schwann & Matthias Schleiden “ all living things are made of cells” (50 yrs. later) Rudolf Virchow “all cells come from cells”

5 Principles of Cell Theory All living things are made of cells Smallest living unit of structure and function of all organisms is the cell All cells arise from preexisting cells (this principle discarded the idea of spontaneous generation)

6 Cell Size

7 Characteristics of All Cells A surrounding membrane Protoplasm – cell contents in thick fluid Organelles – structures for cell function Control center with DNA

8 Cell Types Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

9 Prokaryotic Cells First cell type on earth Cell type of Bacteria and Archaea

10 Prokaryotic Cells No membrane bound nucleus Nucleoid = region of DNA concentration Organelles not bound by membranes

11 Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus bound by membrane Include fungi, protists, plant, and animal cells Possess many organelles Protozoan

12 Representative Animal Cell

13 Representative Plant Cell

14 Organelles Cellular machinery Two general kinds –Derived from membranes –Bacteria-like organelles

15 Bacteria-Like Organelles Derived from symbiotic bacteria Ancient association Endosymbiotic theory –Evolution of modern cells from cells & symbiotic bacteria

16 Plasma Membrane Contains cell contents Double layer of phospholipids & proteins

17 Phospholipids Polar –Hydrophylic head –Hydrophobic tail Interacts with water

18 Movement Across the Plasma Membrane A few molecules move freely –Water, Carbon dioxide, Ammonia, Oxygen Carrier proteins transport some molecules –Proteins embedded in lipid bilayer –Fluid mosaic model – describes fluid nature of a lipid bilayer with proteins

19

20 Membrane Proteins 1. Channels or transporters –Move molecules in one direction 2. Receptors –Recognize certain chemicals

21 Membrane Proteins 3. Glycoproteins –Identify cell type 4. Enzymes –Catalyze production of substances

22 Cell Walls Found in plants, fungi, & many protists Surrounds plasma membrane

23 Cell Wall Differences Plants – mostly cellulose Fungi – contain chitin

24 Cytoplasm Viscous fluid containing organelles components of cytoplasm –Interconnected filaments & fibers –Fluid = cytosol –Organelles (not nucleus) – storage substances

25 Cytoskeleton Filaments & fibers Made of 3 fiber types –Microfilaments –Microtubules –Intermediate filaments 3 functions: – mechanical support – anchor organelles – help move substances

26 A = actin, IF = intermediate filament, MT = microtubule

27 Cilia & Flagella Provide motility Cilia –Short –Used to move substances outside human cells Flagella –Whip-like extensions –Found on sperm cells Basal bodies like centrioles

28 Cilia & Flagella Structure Bundles of microtubules With plasma membrane

29 Centrioles Pairs of microtubular structures Play a role in cell division

30 Membranous Organelles Functional components within cytoplasm Bound by membranes

31 Nucleus Control center of cell Double membrane Contains –Chromosomes –Nucleolus

32 Nuclear Envelope Separates nucleus from rest of cell Double membrane Has pores

33 DNA Hereditary material Chromosomes –DNA –Protiens –Form for cell division Chromatin

34 Nucleolus Most cells have 2 or more Directs synthesis of RNA Forms ribosomes

35 Endoplasmic Reticulum Helps move substances within cells Network of interconnected membranes Two types –Rough endoplasmic reticulum –Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

36 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes attached to surface –Manufacture protiens –Not all ribosomes attached to rough ER May modify proteins from ribosomes

37 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum No attached ribosomes Has enzymes that help build molecules –Carbohydrates –Lipids

38 Golgi Apparatus Involved in synthesis of plant cell wall Packaging & shipping station of cell

39 Golgi Apparatus Function 1. Molecules come in vesicles 2. Vesicles fuse with Golgi membrane 3. Molecules may be modified by Golgi

40 Golgi Apparatus Function (Continued) 4. Molecules pinched-off in separate vesicle 5. Vesicle leaves Golgi apparatus 6. Vesicles may combine with plasma membrane to secrete contents

41

42 Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes Functions –Aid in cell renewal –Break down old cell parts –Digests invaders

43 Vacuoles Membrane bound storage sacs More common in plants than animals Contents –Water –Food –wastes

44 Bacteria-Like Organelles Release & store energy Types –Mitochondria (release energy) –Chloroplasts (store energy)

45 Mitochondria Have their own DNA Bound by double membrane

46 Mitochondria Break down fuel molecules ( cellular respiration) –Glucose –Fatty acids Release energy –ATP

47 Chloroplasts Derived from photosynthetic bacteria Solar energy capturing organelle

48 Photosynthesis Takes place in the chloroplast Makes cellular food – glucose

49 Molecule Movement & Cells Passive Transport Active Transport Endocytosis ( phagocytosis & pinocytosis) Exocytosis

50 Passive Transport No energy required Move due to gradient –differences in concentration, pressure, charge Move to equalize gradient –High moves toward low

51 Types of Passive Transport 1. Diffusion 2. Osmosis 3. Facilitated diffusion

52 Diffusion Molecules move to equalize concentration

53 Osmosis Special form of diffusion Fluid flows from lower solute concentration Often involves movement of water –Into cell –Out of cell

54 Solution Differences & Cells solvent + solute = solution Hypotonic –Solutes in cell more than outside –Outside solvent will flow into cell Isotonic –Solutes equal inside & out of cell Hypertonic –Solutes greater outside cell –Fluid will flow out of cell

55

56 Facilitated Diffusion Differentially permeable membrane Channels (are specific) help molecule or ions enter or leave the cell Channels are usually made of transport proteins (aquaporins facilitate the movement of water) No energy is used

57 Process of Facilitated Transport Protein binds with molecule Shape of protein changes Molecule moves across membrane

58 Active Transport Molecular movement Requires energy (against gradient) Example is sodium-potassium pump

59 Endocytosis Movement of large material –Particles –Organisms –Large molecules Movement is into cells Types of endocytosis – bulk-phase (nonspecific) – receptor-mediated (specific)

60 Process of Endocytosis Plasma membrane surrounds material Edges of membrane meet Membranes fuse to form vesicle

61 Forms of Endocytosis Phagocytosis – cell eating Pinocytosis – cell drinking

62 Exocytosis Reverse of endocytosis Cell discharges material

63 Exocytosis Vesicle moves to cell surface Membrane of vesicle fuses Materials expelled

64 The Cell Cycle & Cell Division

65 The Cell Cycle http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/2001/press.html

66 MITOSIS

67 Mitosis The process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

68 Mitosis can be divided into stages Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase & Cytokinesis

69 Interphase The cell prepares for division Animal Cell –DNA replicated –Organelles replicated –Cell increases in size Plant Cell –DNA replicated –Organelles replicated –Cell increases in size

70 Interphase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm

71 Prophase The cell prepares for nuclear division Animal Cell –Packages DNA into chromosomes Plant cell –Packages DNA into chromosomes

72 Prophase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm

73 Metaphase The cell prepares chromosomes for division Animal Cell –Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell –Spindle fibers attach from daughter cells to chromosomes at the centromere Plant Cell –Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell –Spindle fibers attach from daughter cells to chromosomes at the centromere

74 Metaphase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm

75 Anaphase The chromosomes divide Animal Cell –Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart –½ of each chromosome (called chromotid) moves to each daughter cell Plant Cell –Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart –½ of each chromosome (called chromotid) moves to each daughter cell

76 Anaphase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm

77 Telophase The cytoplasm divides Animal Cell –DNA spreads out –2 nuclei form –Cell membrane pinches in to form the 2 new daughter cells Plant Cell –DNA spreads out –2 nuclei form –New cell wall forms between to nuclei to form the 2 new daughter cells

78 Telophase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm

81 MEIOSIS

82 Meiosis Meiosis is the type of cell division by which germ cells (eggs and sperm) are produced. One parent cell produces four daughter cells. Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes found in the original parent cell

83 Meiosis During meiosis, DNA replicates once, but the nucleus divides twice.

84 Meiosis Four stages can be described for each division of the nucleus.

85 Meiosis I First division of meiosis

86 First Division of Meiosis Prophase 1: Each chromosome duplicates and remains closely associated. These are called sister chromatids. Metaphase 1: Chromosomes align at the center of the cell. Anaphase 1: Chromosome pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together. Telophase 1: Two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the chromosome pair.

90 Telophase I http://everyschool.org/u/logan/cellreproductionx/rogersa/research/meiosis.html

91 Meiosis Second Division of Meiosis

92 Prophase 2: DNA does not replicate. Metaphase 2: Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell Anaphase 2: Centromeres divide and sister chromatids move separately to each pole. Telophase 2: Cell division is complete. Four haploid daughter cells are formed.

93 Prophase II http://everyschool.org/u/logan/cellreproductionx/rogersa/research/meiosis.html

94 Metaphase II http://everyschool.org/u/logan/cellreproductionx/rogersa/research/meiosis.html
