1. CELLS BY: MS. REIS

2. Prokaryotic Cells Does not have a “true” nucleus Lacks membrane bound organelles Usually unicellular Bacteria are prokaryotic

3. Eukaryotic Cells Includes animals, plants, fungi and protists DNA contained in membrane-bound nucleus Contains cell membrane comprised of a phospholipid bilayer (double layer) Cytosol is the jelly-like interior consisting of everything outside the nucleus but within the cell membrane. Cytoplasm is the fluid

4. Eukaryotic Cells

5. Cell Membrane Phospholipid bilayer Selectively permeable - allows some materials in while keeping other materials out of the cell

6. Nucleus organelle bounded by a double – layered porous membrane called the nuclear membrane/envelope. control center of the cell Contains the cell’s genetic material or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Nucleolus - darker area within the nucleus that manufactures rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) present in ribosomes

7. The nuclear envelope contains many openings called pores. Small particles such as water and ions travel freely through the openings, but the passage of macromolecules such as RNA is controlled by the pores The nuclear envelope is connected to the endoplasmic reticulum

8. Cytoplasmic Organelles Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – small tubules or canals branching from the nucleus that allow the transportation of materials within the cell Smooth ER – ribosomes absent, synthesize lipids Rough ER – ribosomes present, synthesize proteins that are part of membranes or intended to be exported from the cell Ribosomes – synthesize proteins that function in the cytosol

9. The Endomembrane System Consists of the nuclear envelope, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and vesicles These organelles are connected and work together to carry out many processes in the cell

10. The endomembrane system modifies and transports proteins

11. Functions of the Endomembrane System Ribosomes on the surface of the ER produce proteins and release them into the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum Proteins travel to smooth ER, where they are stored and processed. When proteins are ready for transport, smooth ER pinches off to form vesicles containing the proteins.

12. Endomembrane System Vesicles from the smooth ER travel across the cell to the Golgi Apparatus. The vesicles merge with the membrane of the Golgi Apparatus and release their contents. Golgi Complex- Flattened stacks of membrane that receive, modify and transport proteins from the ER.

13. Endomembrane System When the modified proteins are ready for transport, pieces of the Golgi pinch to form vesicles. The vesicles transport the proteins to the cell membrane or other destinations.

14. Lysosomes Peroxisomes Membrane bound sacs performing a digestive function Contains enzymes to digest food, wastes, invading bacteria and breaks down old organelles Present in animal cells only Golgi apparatus produces lysosomes Tay – Sachs disease Membrane bound sacs performing a digestive function Enzymes in peroxisomes are oxidases that catalyze redox reactions Liver contains many peroxisomes to break down alcohol Form by budding off from ER Present in animal cells only

15. Vacuoles Functions include storage and support through turgor pressure (the pressure exerted by water on cell membrane and cell wall). fluid-filled space that stores water, food and wastes. Very large organelle in plant cells, but small in animal cells

16. Plastids: Chloroplasts Make food for the cell through photosynthesis Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll to trap light energy needed for photosynthesis Present in plant cells but not in animal cells Chromoplasts – type of plastid that stores orange and yellow pigments found in fruits and flowers Amyloplasts – type of plastid that stores starch in potatoes.

17. Chloroplast Structure Stroma – fluid of the chloroplast containing enzymes Thylakoids – disks containing chlorophyll Grana (sng: granum)- stack of thylakoids

18. Mitochondria Provides stored energy (ATP) for the cell in a process called cellular respiration Cristae – inner folds provide large surface area containing enzymes to speed up cellular respiration. Matrix – inner liquid solution Intermembrane Space – space between outer membrane and cristae

19. Cell Wall Composed mainly of cellulose in plant cells Provides structure and support for the cell Present in plant cells, fungus and bacteria but not in animal cells. The antibiotic penicillin prevents the formation of bacterial cell walls.

21. Red Blood Cells Red blood cells are formed in bone marrow. These oxygen carrying cells expel their nuclei to make more room for oxygen in the cell. DNA testing in blood uses white blood cells instead.

22. Cilia and Flagella Are appendages that develop on the outside of eukaryotic cells Flagellum – whiplike tail used for cell movement Cilia – tiny hairs also used for locomotion In humans cilia allow particles to move out of the respiratory tract In paramecia cilia propel food toward a feeding groove
