2 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Cells were first described in 1665 by Robert Hooke. 200 years later, the accumulation of scientific evidence led to the cell theory. –All living things are composed of cells. –All cells come from other cells.

The electron microscope can Magnify up to 100,000 times Distinguish between objects 0.2 nanometers apart Two kinds of electron microscopes reveal different parts of cells.

5 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Two Major Categories of Cells The countless cells on earth fall into two categories: –Prokaryotic cells — Bacteria and Archaea –Eukaryotic cells — protists, plants, fungi, and animals All cells have several basic features. –They are all bound by a thin plasma membrane. –All cells have DNA and ribosomes, tiny structures that build proteins.

6 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have important differences. Prokaryotic cells are older than eukaryotic cells. –Prokaryotes appeared about 3.5 billion years ago. –Eukaryotes appeared about 2.1 billion years ago.

7 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Prokaryotes –Are smaller than eukaryotic cells –Lack internal structures surrounded by membranes –Lack a nucleus –Have a rigid cell wall

8 Plasma membrane (encloses cytoplasm) Cell wall (provides Rigidity) Capsule (sticky coating) Prokaryotic flagellum (for propulsion) Ribosomes (synthesize proteins) Nucleoid (contains DNA) Pili (attachment structures) Colorized TEM Figure 4.4 Prokaryotes

9 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Eukaryotes –Only eukaryotic cells have organelles, membrane-bound structures that perform specific functions. –The most important organelle is the nucleus, which houses most of a eukaryotic cell’s DNA.

10 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. An Overview of Eukaryotic Cells Eukaryotic cells are fundamentally similar. The region between the nucleus and plasma membrane is the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm consists of various organelles suspended in fluid.

11 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Unlike animal cells, plant cells have –Protective cell walls –Chloroplasts, which convert light energy to the chemical energy of food

13 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. MEMBRANE STRUCTURE The plasma membrane separates the living cell from its nonliving surroundings.

14 The Plasma Membrane: A Fluid Mosaic of Lipids and Proteins The membranes of cells are composed mostly of –Lipids –Proteins © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

16 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Most membranes have specific proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. These proteins help regulate traffic across the membrane and perform other functions. “selective permeability”

17 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Cell Surfaces Plant cells have rigid cell walls surrounding the membrane. Plant cell walls –Are made of cellulose –Protect the cells –Maintain cell shape –Keep the cells from absorbing too much water

18 THE NUCLEUS AND RIBOSOMES: GENETIC CONTROL OF THE CELL The nucleus is the chief executive of the cell. –Genes in the nucleus store information necessary to produce proteins. –Proteins do most of the work of the cell. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

19 Structure and Function of the Nucleus The nucleus is bordered by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Pores in the envelope allow materials to move between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The nucleus contains a nucleolus where ribosomes are made.

20 Ribosomes Chromatin Nucleolus Pore Nuclear envelope Surface of nuclear envelopeNuclear pores TEM Figure 4.8

21 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Stored in the nucleus are long DNA molecules and associated proteins that form fibers called chromatin. Each long chromatin fiber constitutes one chromosome. The number of chromosomes in a cell depends on the species.

22 DNA molecule Chromosome Proteins Chromatin fiber Figure 4.9

23 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ribosomes Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosome components are made in the nucleolus but assembled in the cytoplasm.

24 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ribosomes may assemble proteins: –Suspended in the fluid of the cytoplasm or –Attached to the outside of an organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum

25 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. How DNA Directs Protein Production DNA directs protein production by transferring its coded information into messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA exits the nucleus through pores in the nuclear envelope. A ribosome moves along the mRNA translating the genetic message into a protein with a specific amino acid sequence.

27 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of the main manufacturing facilities in a cell. The ER –Produces an enormous variety of molecules –Is composed of smooth and rough ER

28 Nuclear envelope Smooth ER Rough ER Ribosomes TEM Figure 4.13

29 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Rough ER The “rough” in the rough ER is due to ribosomes that stud the outside of the ER membrane. These ribosomes produce membrane proteins and secretory proteins. After the rough ER synthesizes a molecule, it packages the molecule into transport vesicles.

30 Proteins are often modified in the ER. Secretory proteins depart in transport vesicles. Vesicles bud off from the ER. A ribosome links amino acids into a polypeptide. Ribosome Transport vesicle Polypeptide Protein Rough ER Figure 4.14

31 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Vacuoles Vacuoles are membranous sacs that bud from the –ER –Golgi –Plasma membrane Contractile vacuoles of protists pump out excess water in the cell. Central vacuoles of plants –Store nutrients –Absorb water –May contain pigments or poisons

33 CHLOROPLASTS AND MITOCHONDRIA: ENERGY CONVERSION Cells require a constant energy supply to perform the work of life. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

34 Chloroplasts Most of the living world runs on the energy provided by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy from the sun to the chemical energy of sugar. Chloroplasts are the organelles that perform photosynthesis.

38 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Maintaining Cell Shape The cytoskeleton –Provides mechanical support to the cell –Maintains its shape

39 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The cytoskeleton contains several types of fibers made from different proteins: –Microtubules –Are straight and hollow –Guide the movement of organelles and chromosomes –Intermediate filaments and microfilaments are thinner and solid.

41 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Cilia and Flagella Cilia and flagella aid in movement. –Flagella propel the cell in a whiplike motion. –Cilia move in a coordinated back-and-forth motion. –Cilia and flagella have the same basic architecture.
