What did Robert Hooke call the boxes that he observed in cork?
Cells
3
Why should I care? This girl has just completed a storm roll, a safety manouver to right a qajaq without getting out. It is especially important in the excessively frigid arctic waters where eskimos regularly hunt for seals with nothing but qajaqs and harpoons. Her hair and life-vest are full of water. What prevented the water in the river from being absorbed into her body as well? – skin So what is so special about skin? Why is it waterproof? What is it made of?
4
So, what is a cell? Smallest functional unit that can support life
A bacterium is only one self-sustaining cell You are made up of trillions of interdependent cells Too small to see without a microscope
5
Problem? Miss Apgar wants to view a bacterial cell that needs to be magnified 1000 times in order to see it. Her compound light microscope has a 10X ocular lens. Which objective lens should she use to see the bacterium? _____________ Where is the ocular lens? ____________________ Where is the objective lens? _________________
6
What do we remember about microscope history?
Robert Hooke Named the cell Cell – Structural and functional unit of life Made sketches of the microscopic world
7
Anton van Leeuwenhoek Perfected a single lens microscope
Examined water and milk Called creatures he saw “cavorting wee beasties”
8
Some More History Matthias Schleiden Theodor Schwann Studied plants
Determined that all plants are made of cells Theodor Schwann Studied animals Determined that all animals are made of cells
9
Some More History Rudolf Virchow German physician
Proposed that cells divide to form new cells Used his theory to diagnose patients Father of pathology His theory was particularly useful for cancer diagnoses Pathology – the study of disease and disease progression
10
Cell Theory - putting their work together
All organisms are made of cells It can be one solitary cell or many cells working together The cell is the basic unit of organization in living organisms Even in complex organisms like humans, the cell is the basic unit of life All cells come from pre-existing cells Cells grow and divide, passing genetic information to the next generation of cells
11
How do we know that cells come from other cells?
13
Two types of cells… Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells Simple interior
Considered to be the prototype Eukaryotic cells Complex interior Considered to be the latest update
14
Prokaryotes Simple interior DNA in central nucleoid region
Cellular functions happen in open space Single cell organisms Bacteria Archaea
16
Inside a Prokaryote The cytoplasm is where cell life takes place
DNA is concentrated in the nucleoid region Ribosomes make proteins The Flagellum provides transportation Capsule, cell wall, and cytoplasmic membrane provide protection and support
17
Eukaryotes Complex interior
DNA is neatly packaged and protected by nucleus Organelles perform cellular functions Single and multiple cell organisms Amoebas – single celled You are a EU-karyote
18
4 Kingdoms Animalia Plantae Fungi Protista
Write down examples of creatures from each kingdom
19
Inside a Eukaryote The cytoplasm is where the organelles are located
DNA is housed in the nucleus Ribosomes make proteins There are many other organelles each covered by a membrane Each organelle has its own function Cytoplasmic membrane provides protection
20
Venn Diagram Time… turn to page 22!
21
Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells
22
Your task now… Look on page 11 in your packet
Read “The Origin of the Eukaryotic Cell” (pgs 19-20) Answer questions pages 21 and 22 Homework if you do not finish!!
24
More on the Eukaryote cell
Important terminology DNA – genetic material Organelle – cellular structures that carry out specific functions Means “little organ” Let’s break it down…
25
First up: the plasma membrane
26
The Cell Membrane The cell membrane is selectively permeable
Some things can pass but others can’t Cell membranes are made from a phospholipid bilayer
27
Phospholipid Bilayer Structure
Each phospholipid has a polar head and two nonpolar tails Polar head is attracted to water Nonpolar tails are repelled by water Outside of cell Inside (cytoplasm) Cell membrane Proteins Protein channel Lipid bilayer Carbohydrate chains
28
Phospholipid Bilayer Function
Allows some things in and not others Polar molecules do not easily pass H2O is an exception because it is small Keeps the outside out and the inside in The plasma membrane is always in motion
29
Fluid Mosaic Model Fluid Mosaic Membrane is in motion
Membrane is flexible Mosaic There are molecules embedded in the bilayer The scattered arrangement looks like a mosaic
31
Animal Cells vs. Plant Cells
Eukaryotic cell which makes up tissues in animals Lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and have smaller vacuoles. Appears to be circular because of the lack of a rigid cell wall. Eukaryotic cell that makes up plants Cell Wall Chloroplast Large Vacuoles
32
Animal Cell
33
Plant Cell
34
Cell Wall Mesh of fibers that surrounds the plasma membrane
Protects and supports the cell Made of carbohydrate, cellulose
35
Cytoplasm Semi-fluid material inside the plasma membrane
Consists of cytosol and the cellular organelles (all organelles except the cell nucleus) Cytosol - fluid in which the cellular organelles are suspended
36
Cytoskeleton Network of long, thin protein fibers provide an anchor for organelles Microtubules-long hollow cylinders that assist in moving substances within the cell Microfilaments-thin threads that give the cell shape and enable the cell to move Cytoskeleton in Red and Green
37
Nucleus Contains genetic material (DNA) Nuclear envelope
Nuclear pores allow substances in and out Nucleolus in center Very dense center
38
Ribosomes Produce proteins Made of RNA and protein
Made in the nucleolus Some float freely in the cytoplasm Others attach to endoplasmic reticulum
39
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Interconnected network of tubules
40
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER Smooth ER Where ribosomes attach and make proteins Appear to create bumps and rough areas on the membrane No ribosomes Produces complex carbohydrates and lipids
41
Golgi Apparatus Modifies, sorts, and packs proteins in sacs called vesicles Vesicles fuse with plasma membrane They release proteins which move through membrane to get outside of the cell
42
Vacuoles Temporary storage for materials in the cytoplasm
Store, transport, or digest food and waste Plant cells – 1 large vacuole Animal cells – several little vacuoles
43
Lysosomes Vesicles that contain digestive enzymes to digest excess or worn-out organelles and food particles They also digest bacteria and viruses that enter the cell They are built in the Golgi apparatus.
44
Centrioles Made of Microtubules Found near nucleus Animal Cells only
Assembled right before replication Aid in cell replication
45
Mitochondria Powerhouse Converts organic materials into energy
ATP Outer and inner membranes with lots of folds Provides large surface area to break sugar molecule bonds (produce energy)
46
Chloroplasts- Plant only
Capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy through photosynthesis
47
Photosynthetic Animals
found an animal that makes proteins essential for photosynthesis Elysia chlorotica – sea slug that looks like a giant swimming leaf Stole chloroplasts from algae it eats can live up to 9 months without eating Appears green because of stolen chlorophyll Lives - Eastern coast of the United States and Canada
48
Cilia and Flagella Cilia- short, hair-like projections
Move back and forth like oars on a rowboat Move substances along surface of the cell Flagella- rather long hair-like projections Whip-like motion Both are composed of microtubules Move cells through watery environment
51
Cell Transport Passive transport Active Transport Does not use energy
Goes with the concentration gradient 3 types diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis Requires energy Goes against the concentration gradient Endocytosis Exocytosis
52
Cell Transport Diffusion -net movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration Doesn’t require energy because the particle are in motion passive transport Dynamic equilibrium- the overall concentration does not change, but molecules are still moving randomly
53
What affects the rate of diffusion?
What makes molecules move faster? High temperature High Pressure High concentration
54
Facilitated Diffusion
Some ions and molecules can’t diffuse across the cell membrane Facilitated diffusion – uses transport proteins to help move some molecules across the plasma membrane
55
Osmosis Osmosis – diffusion of water
Most cells undergo osmosis because they are surrounded by water
56
Hyper—Hypo– Iso tonic Solutions
These are comparing words Hypertonic -more solute Hypotonic- less solute Isotonic- same solute as What would happen if you Put a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution? Put a red blood cell in a hypotonic solution? Put a red blood cell in an isotonic solution?
57
What happens to a red blood cell when…?
58
Active Transport Goes from low to high concentration Requires Energy
ATP Moves large substances
59
Endocytosis Endocytosis- moving large substances into the cell
60
Exocytosis Exocytosis- moving large substances out of the cell
