1 CELLULAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

2 BIG IDEA Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms. Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms.

3 Cell Discovery and Theory Section 7.1 Section 7.1

4 MAIN IDEA #1 The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of cells. The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of cells.

5 Important Discoveries Robert Hooke- observed cork with the first microscope and coined the term “cellulae” meaning small rooms Robert Hooke- observed cork with the first microscope and coined the term “cellulae” meaning small rooms Anton van Leeuwenhoek- first to observe living organisms with a microscope Anton van Leeuwenhoek- first to observe living organisms with a microscope Both men led to many scientific discoveries (scientific revolution) Both men led to many scientific discoveries (scientific revolution)

6 Microscopes Compound light microscope- uses visible light and a series of lenses to create a magnified image. Compound light microscope- uses visible light and a series of lenses to create a magnified image.

7 Microscopes Electron microscope- uses magnets to beam electrons at thin specimens. Electron microscope- uses magnets to beam electrons at thin specimens. Only nonliving cells and tissues can be observed with electron microscopes Only nonliving cells and tissues can be observed with electron microscopes

8 Cell Theory One of the fundamental ideas of modern biology and includes the following three principles. One of the fundamental ideas of modern biology and includes the following three principles. 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 cells

9 Cell types Prokaryotic- cells without a nucleus OR membrane bound organelles (mostly unicellular). Prokaryotic- cells without a nucleus OR membrane bound organelles (mostly unicellular). Eukaryotic- have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic- have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Both have plasma membranes! Both have plasma membranes!

10 Eukaryotic structures Nucleus- distinct central organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. Nucleus- distinct central organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. Organelles- enable specialized cell functions to take place in different parts of the cell at the same time. Organelles- enable specialized cell functions to take place in different parts of the cell at the same time. Eukaryotes are thought to have evolved from prokaryotes- Endosymbiont Theory Eukaryotes are thought to have evolved from prokaryotes- Endosymbiont Theory

11 The Plasma Membrane Section 7.2 Section 7.2

12 MAIN IDEA #2 The plasma membrane helps to maintain a cell’s homeostasis. The plasma membrane helps to maintain a cell’s homeostasis.

13 Functions of the Plasma Membrane Creates a thin, flexible boundary that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell Creates a thin, flexible boundary that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell Selective permeability- capability to allow some substances pass through while keeping others out. Selective permeability- capability to allow some substances pass through while keeping others out.

15 Plasma Membrane Phospholipid bilayer- phospholipids are arranged in a double layer, TAIL TO TAIL. Phospholipid bilayer- phospholipids are arranged in a double layer, TAIL TO TAIL. Phospholipids have a polar head and two non- polar “tails.” Phospholipids have a polar head and two non- polar “tails.” Creates the barrier that is polar at its surface and non-polar in the center. Creates the barrier that is polar at its surface and non-polar in the center. Separates the inside and outside environments of the cell. Separates the inside and outside environments of the cell.

16 THINK ABOUT IT!!! How do hydrophobic substances cross a plasma membrane? How do hydrophobic substances cross a plasma membrane?

17 Other membrane components Transport proteins- move needed substances or wastes through the membrane. Transport proteins- move needed substances or wastes through the membrane. Cholesterol- non-polar molecule among the phospholipids; keeps the “tails” from sticking together- fluidity Cholesterol- non-polar molecule among the phospholipids; keeps the “tails” from sticking together- fluidity Carbohydrates (sugars)- help with cell identification Carbohydrates (sugars)- help with cell identification

19 Fluid Mosaic Model Phospholipids can move sideways across the membrane Phospholipids can move sideways across the membrane Other components can even move through/among the bilayer. Other components can even move through/among the bilayer. The fluidity of the membrane allows a scattered/random pattern arrangement of the components- mosaic. The fluidity of the membrane allows a scattered/random pattern arrangement of the components- mosaic.

36 MAIN IDEA #4 Cellular transport moves substances WITHIN the cell and moves substances INTO & OUT of the cell. Cellular transport moves substances WITHIN the cell and moves substances INTO & OUT of the cell.

37 Diffusion The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Dynamic equilibrium- condition, in which there is continuous movement but NO overall change Dynamic equilibrium- condition, in which there is continuous movement but NO overall change

38 Diffusion Factors that affect diffusion rate Factors that affect diffusion rate Concentration Concentration Temperature Temperature Pressure Pressure Ex: more collision= faster diffusion Diffusion does NOT require any energy! Diffusion does NOT require any energy!

39 Facilitated Diffusion Uses transport proteins to move other ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane.
