11 Some Random Cell Facts The average human being is composed of around 100 Trillion individual cells!!! It would take as many as 50 cells to cover the area of a dot on the letter “ i ”

12 Discovery of Cells 1665 Robert Hooke –discovered cells while looking at a thin slice of cork. –described the cells as tiny boxes or a honeycomb –thought that cells only existed in plants and fungi

13 Anton van Leuwenhoek 1673- Used a handmade microscope to observe pond scum & discovered single-celled organisms He called them “animalcules” He also observed blood cells from fish, birds, frogs, dogs, and humans Therefore, it was known that cells are found in animals as well as plants

14 1838 Matthias Schleiden – concluded that all plant parts are made of cells 1839 Theodor Schwann, –stated that all animal tissues are composed of cells.

15 1858- Rudolf Virchow –concluded that cells must arise from preexisting cells.

16 The Cell Theory Complete The 3 Basic Components of the Cell Theory were now complete: 1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of life in all living things. 3. All cells are produced by the division of preexisting cells.

17 Can you design the “best cell” shape? What do cells need? How could you measure if this need is met? How could you compare different designs?

18 2 Basic Types of Cells 1)Prokaryotic examples ??? 2)Eukaryotic examples????

20 Plasma membrane Structure –Main component is phospholipids that are arranged in a double layer (bilayer) –Has scattered proteins within the phospholipids

21 Function of the Plasma Membrane Regulate what gets into or leaves the cell

22 Nucleus Structure –Surrounded by a double membrane –This “nuclear membrane” has pores Function –Holds the chromosomes (DNA) and the nucleolus

23 Nuclear envelope Double layer of membrane Has pores Surrounds the nucleus Regulates what goes into and out of the nucleus

24 Chromosomes Structure –String-like structures in the nucleus made of DNA and protein Function –Contain your genes

25 Nucleolus Structure –Small dark structure in the nucleus Function –Produce ribosomes

26 Ribosomes Small structures (NOT made of membrane) Make proteins

27 Central Vacuole Structure –LARGE sac made of membrane –Found in center of plant cells Function –Stores chemicals and water

28 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure –Canals and tubes made of membrane Function –Makes lipids (oils, phospholipids, steroids) –Detoxifies poisons

29 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure –Canals and tubes made of membrane –Have ribosomes attached to the outside Function –Transport materials in the cell –Make proteins (those exported from the cell, those found on the plasma membrane, those found in lysosomes)

30

31

32 Golgi Apparatus Structure –Stacks of membrane sacs –has a receiving end (from ER) and a shipping end Function –Chemically modifies substances –Packages material for transport out of the cell or to other locations within the cell

33

34 Vesicles Structure –Small membrane “bubbles” that bud off the ER or Golgi Functions –Transport materials to new locations

35 Lysosomes Structure –Sacs of membrane that contain hydrolytic enzymes –-found mostly in animal cells Function –Use enzymes to break down old organelles –In white blood cells are used to destroy bacteria

36 Mitochondria Structure –Surrounded by a double membrane Folds found on the inside Function –Cellular Respiration Converts energy in sugars into the energy of ATP molecule

37 Chloroplasts Structure –Surrounded by a double layer of membrane Disks found inside Function –Convert solar energy into chemical energy (food) –Site of photosynthesis

38 Perioxisome Structure –Small membranous sac Function –Some reactions occurring here produce H 2 O 2 (toxic) So, it also contains an enzyme (catalase) that converts this to water and oxygen gas

39 Cell Wall Structure –Found outside the plasma membrane –Plant  made of cellulose Function –Give support to certain cells (plant) –Does NOT determine what can get into/out of the cell

40

41 Cytoskeleton Structure Made of protein fibers –Microtubules Hollow tube –Microfilaments Small rods –Intermediate filaments Function –Give the cell shape –Help to move organelles around the cell

42 Fig. 4-17 Microfilament Actin subunit 7 nm Intermediate filament Fibrous subunits 10 nm Microtubule Tubulin subunit 25 nm Nucleus

43 Centrioles Structure –Made of rings of microtubules –Found in pairs that lie at right angles Look similar to a pair of barrels Function –Found in animal cells –Help organize the tubulin required for cell division

44

45 Cilia Structure –Microtubules that extend from the cell (still covered by the plasma membrane) –Short and many of them Function –In single-celled organisms, they can move the organism from place to place –If anchored in place, can set up a current, moving fluid across the surface of a cell

46 Fig. 4-1c

48

49 Flagella Structure Same as cilia, but are longer and there are just a few of them Prokaryotes also have them –Not made of microtubules Function Move the cell within its environment

50

51 Fig. 4-20 EXTRACELLULAR FLUID Microfilaments Collagen fiber Connecting glycoprotein Integrin Plasma membrane Glycoprotein complex with long polysaccharide CYTOPLASM

52 How large can cells get? -depends on how efficiently they can get nutrients in and wastes out 30 µm 10 µm Surface area of one large cube = 5,400 µm 2 Total surface area of 27 small cubes = 16,200 µm 2

53 Fig. 4-21 Tight junctions Anchoring junction Gap junctions Plasma membranes of adjacent cells Extracellular matrix

54 Fig. 4-22 Vacuole Walls of two adjacent plant cells Cytoplasm Plasma membrane Plasmodesmata cell wall
