1 CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION LO: Be able to describe the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ultra structure

2 The Cell The cell is the smallest unit of life that can carry out life processes.

3 Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cellular Organization

4 Prokaryotic Cell Prokaryotic- cells that do not have a nucleus and internal membrane-bound structures –Most unicellular organisms are prokaryotes. –Bacteria

5 Eukaryotic Cell Eukaryotic-Cells that do have a nucleus and internal membrane-bound structures. –Most multicellular organisms are eukaryotes. –Yeast and algae (unicellular, eukaryotes) –Plant and animal

6 Cytoplasm – Gel like material that protects, supports and suspends organelles. Features Common to Cells: All cells have either DNA or RNA or both.

7 Features Common to Cells: Cell membrane – Semi-permeable allows some materials in and keeps others out. This helps to maintain cellular homeostasis.

8 Chapter 4 Parts of the Cell

9 Nucleus “Command center” Surrounded by a nuclear envelope Contains genetic material: –chromatin –chromosomes Nucleolus-makes ribosomes –Ribosomes-site where proteins are made Can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum

10 Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Series of folded membranes allow a large amount of work to be done in a small amount of space Transportation unit for the cell Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) –Ribosomes attached –Protein synthesis Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) –Produce and store lipids

11 Golgi Apparatus Vesicles Flattened tubular membranes Packaging plant Modify, sort, package, and transport proteins throughout the cell

12 VACUOLES Storage sacs Temporary storage of materials –Store food, enzymes, waste Plant cells have one large vacuole. Animal cells have many small vesicles.

13 LYSOSOMES Contain digestive enzymes Digest excess or worn organelles, food particles, viruses, and bacteria Surrounded by membrane that prevents it from destroying the cell Can burst causing cell death

14 Chapter 4 Mitochondria Cellular respiration -converts food into energy Cell “Powerhouse” Number of mitochondria depends upon the function of the cell –Ex: muscles cells have more mitochondria than fat cells

15 Centriole Help with cell reproduction Only found in animal cells

16 Plastids – Color pigments of cells Examples: –Chloroplast – Located in plant cells, some bacteria, and protists. Capture light energy to produce and store food Contain chlorophyll-green pigment that traps light energy

17 Cytoskeleton – tiny fibers that give structure and support to the cell. –Microfilament- thin and tubular…support the cell membrane. –Microtubule- thick and tubular also branched. Act as “rails” on which materials move through the cell. Features Common to Cells:

18 Cilia and Flagella Aid in movement and feeding Composed of microtubules Cilia-short, numerous hair-like projections that move in a wavelike motion Flagella-long, whip-like projections

19 Cell wall Rigid outer covering PLANT CELLS Located outside the cell membrane Provides support and protection Helps produce turgor pressure

20 Animal Cell Plant Cell

21 Plant cell vs. Animal Cell

22 Plant vs Animal cells Animal Cell vs. Plant cell –Animal Cell DO contain centrioles. DO NOT contain a cell wall or plastids. –Plant Cell DO contain a cell wall, plastids, and a large central vacuole. DO NOT contain centrioles
