Plant and Animal Cells Under the Microscope What indicators were used to help view some organelles under the microscope? What is the structural difference between cheek cells and frog’s blood? How does this affect the function? What structure did plant cells have that animal cells did not? What organelle could be seen in the spinach cells, but not the onion cells? Why?
Prokaryotic Cell Structurally Simpler than Eukaryotic Cells
Eukaryotic Cell: Animal
Eukaryotic: Plant
Cell Membrane (Covered Extensively in Chapter 5)
Nucleus is the cell’s genetic control center
Overview: Many cell organelles are connected through the endomembrane system
Ribosomes make proteins for use in the cell and export Structure: Large Subunit Small Subunit Function: Polypeptide (protein) synthesis Location: Free: in cytoplasm Attached : bound to ER
The endoplasmic reticulum is a biosynthetic factory Structure: Passage ways inside cell Function: Rough ER: synthesis of membrane lipids and proteins, secretory proteins, and hydrolytic enzymes; formation of transport vesicles. Smooth ER: Lipid synthesis, detoxification in liver cells, calcium ion storage.
Synthesis and packaging of a secretory protein by the rough ER
Golgi apparatus finishes, sorts, and ships cell products
Lysosomes are digestive compartments
