1. Cells Structural and functional units of living organisms

2. Eukaryotic (“true nucleus”) vs. Prokaryotic (“before nucleus”) cells Proks

3. Eukaryotic (“true nucleus”) vs. Prokaryotic (“before nucleus”) cells Proks - nucleoid is not separated from cytoplasm by a membrane Euks -

4. Eukaryotic (“true nucleus”) vs. Prokaryotic (“before nucleus”) cells Proks - nucleoid is not separated from cytoplasm by a membrane Euks - nuclear material is enclosed in a double membrane - nuclear envelope

5. Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells

6. Changes from Proks to Euks: (1)DNA size and compactions (2)Cell size and organization (3)Early euk cells were endosymbiotic

7. Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells Changes from Proks to Euks: (1)Euks have more DNA than proks so cells needed better ways to fold the DNA compactly into complexes (using proteins) so that the DNA was divided equally between daughter cells at cell division, complexes = chromosomes (chromatin) (2)Euk cells larger so needed a better system of intracellular membranes, so development of double membrane around DNA (nucleus); membrane separated nuclear process of RNA synthesis from cytoplasmic process of protein synthesis (3)Early euk cells, which were unable to perform photosynthesis or aerobic metabolism, enveloped aerobic/photosynthetic bacteria to form endosymbiotic species, some aerobic bacteria became mitochondria and some chloroplasts

8. Development of Eukaryotic Cells

9. Prokaryotic (bacterial) Cell

10. Prokaryotic Cells Two groups: Archaebacteriarecently discovered live in extreme environments (salt lakes, hot springs, deep in ocean) Eubacteria most common well-studied (Escherichia coli/E. coli) inhabit soil, surface water, organisms

11. Eukaryotic Cell Animal cell Plant cell

12. Eukaryotic Cell Plasma membrane

13. Eukaryotic Cell Plasma membrane

14. Eukaryotic Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Membrane-enclosed compartments Extends through cytoplasm Flattened branches = cisternae Smooth ER (lipid biosynthesis, drug metabolism) Rough ER (LOTS OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS) -

15. Eukaryotic Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Membrane-enclosed compartments Extends through cytoplasm Flattened branches = cisternae Smooth ER (lipid biosynthesis, drug metabolism) - Ribosome free Rough ER (LOTS OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS) - Ribosomes attached ALSO free ribosomes - synthesize proteins that will remain in cytosol

16. Eukaryotic Cell Golgi Complex Membrane-enclosed compartments Extends through cytoplasm Flattened branches = cisternae Site of Types of Modifications

17. Eukaryotic Cell Golgi Complex Membrane-enclosed compartments Extends through cytoplasm Flattened branches = cisternae Site of processing, packaging and targeting of proteins Modifications - sulfate, carbohydrate, lipids, etc. Modification tags protein for its destination

18. Eukaryotic Cell Lysosomes Animal cells only Contain enzymes that digest Enzymes kept inside by membrane Lysosome pH - Enzymes within lysosome act best at _____ pH

19. Eukaryotic Cell Lysosomes Animal cells only Contain enzymes that digest proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, lipids Enzymes kept inside by membrane Lysosome pH - ATP-fueled proton pump keeps pH in lysosome at ~5.0 rather than 7.0 (in cytosol) Enzymes within lysosome act best at lower pH

20. Eukaryotic Cell Peroxisomes Purpose - Example: H 2 O 2 2H 2 O 2 --> 2H 2 O + O 2 Catalase

21. Eukaryotic Cell Peroxisomes Purpose - take up reactive chemical species that could otherwise damage cell machinery Example: H 2 O 2 2H 2 O 2 --> 2H 2 O + O 2 Catalase at high concentration in peroxisome Catalase

22. Eukaryotic Cell Nucleus Contains cellular DNA (some DNA in mitochondria and chloroplast)

23. Eukaryotic Cell Nucleus Chromosomes = 2 chromatids Chromatin mass = 50% DNA, 50% histones DNA of single human chromosome forms ~1,000,000 nucleosomes

24. Eukaryotic Cell Most cells (somatic cells) have 2 copies of each chromosome Gametes, germline cells (egg and sperm) have only 1 copy of each chromosome

25. Eukaryotic Cell Mitochondria Diameter of ~1 µm (bacterial cells) 100s-1000 per cell Metabolic cells have more mitochondria Matrix has lots of enzymes and metabolic intermediates Have their own DNA, RNA and ribosomes Descendants of aerobic bacteria??

26. Eukaryotic Cell Cytoskeleton Meshwork through cytoplasm Provides structure and organization to cytoplasm and shape to cell

27. Viruses = Parasites of Cell Viruses Replicate themselves in host cells Contain DNA or RNA surrounded by a capsid (protective coat) Outside host cell, virus is nonliving particle (virion) Inside host cell, virus is parasite Uses host cells’ machinery to make more virus particles Turnip yellow mosaic virus (spheres) Tobacco mosaic virus (cylinders) Bacteriophage T4 HIV Poliovirus

28. Secretory cells of pancreas Skeletal muscle cell Sperm cells Red blood cells Human embryo at 2-cell stage
