1. Cell Structure and Function Chapter 7

2. Prior Knowledge All Living Things are Composed of ____Cells___.

3. Influential Scientists Robert Hooke – Looked at Cork Cells, Called the little chambers “cells” Anton van Leeuwenhoek – Simple Microscope, Saw Small Living Organisms in the Water and Called them “animalcules” Matthias Schleiden – Plant Cells Theodor Schwann – Animal Cells Rudolph Virchow – Cells Come From the Division of Existing Cells

4. The Cell Theory 1.All Living Things are Composed of Cells 2.Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3.New Cells Come From Existing Cells

5. Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote Prokaryote - have cell membranes and cytoplasm but do not contain nuclei. –Simple Cells (Unicellular) –All bacteria are prokaryotes. Eukaryote- Contain nuclei. Also have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and specialized organelles. –Complex Cells –All plants, animals, fungi, and many microorganisms, are eukaryotes. –Eukaryote cells are much larger than prokaryote cells

9. Vocabulary 3 Components of the Cell Theory Robert Hooke Anton von Leeuwenhoek Schleiden vs. Schwann Rudolf Virchow Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote Animal vs. Plant Cell

10. Vocabulary Nucleus/Nucleolus Chloroplast/Chlorophyll Mitochondria Chromosome vs. Chromatid Cell Wall vs. Cell Membrane Ribosomes Golgi Apparatus/Endoplasmic Reticulum Vacuoles Lysosomes Cilia/Flagella

11. Cell Structure & Organelles Organelles- specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell

12. Cell Structure Cell Walls provide extra support and protection Plants, bacteria, algae, and fungi have Cell Walls * In plants, cell walls are composed of cellulose * Animal Cells DO NOT have CELL WALLS

13. Chromosomes Also called chromatin. Composed of DNA Found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in the nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells.

14. Chloroplasts Found in plants, some algae, and some bacteria Converts the sun’s light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis Contains chlorophyll (green pigment)

15. Cilia Small Hairlike Projections Found in Eukaryotic Cells Help unicellular organisms to move. Also helps to move materials past other cells.

16. Cytoplasm A thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. Mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.

17. Endoplasmic Reticulum Organelle where components of cell membrane are made and proteins are modified –Rough E.R. studded with ribosomes Either exports proteins from cell or sends them to the cytoplasm –Smooth E.R. No ribosomes Helps in lipid production and breakdown of toxic substances

18. The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)

19. Other Cell Structures Cilia (cilium): short hair-like projection; produces movement in many cells Flagella (flagellum): whip-like structure on some cells that is used for movement Cilia Flagella

20. Golgi Apparatus Vesicles ( small transport sacs ) carry proteins from Rough E.R. to Golgi for processing/modification. Attaches carbohydrates and lipids to proteins, and the new proteins are “packaged” in new vesicles.

21. Lysosomes Small organelles filled with digestive enzymes –They can break down needed materials, used cell parts, pathogens, and even play a role in development They destroy tissue to create fingers because our hands begin as solid structures!

22. Mitochondria cell organelle that releases energy from stored food molecules. Involved in cellular respiration- turning carbohydrates into energy. Cells that need more energy have more mitochondria

23. Nucleus –Stores hereditary info in the form of DNA DNA is inside chromatin, a granular material that condenses into chromosomes during cell division –Houses a nucleolus – small, dense region within responsible for the assembly of ribosomes –Surrounded by a nuclear envelope “The Control Center”

24. The Nucleus

25. Cell Membrane Outside of Cell Semi-permeable May have an outer coating of a cell wall Contained in all cells – prokaryotic and eukaryotic “Bodyguard” – Controls what goes in and out.

26. Ribosomes Make proteins Made up of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and protein Can be free-roaming in cytoplasm or located on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

27. Vacuole Found in all eukaryotic cells Large Central Vacuole in plants and numerous small vacuoles in animal cells. Storage of Materials

28. Cytoskeleton Network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain shape and is involved in cell movement. Contains 2 parts: –Microfilaments – long, thin strands that help a cell move and provide a tough framework for the cell –Microtubules – hollow tubes by which organelles can move from one part of a cell to another

29. Centrioles T iny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. Play a role in cell division.

30. So Where Did These Eukaryotes Come From? Mitochondria and Chloroplasts contain their own DNA genetic information separate from the cells DNA. So, Scientists have done research and come up with a Theory… The ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY

31. The Endosymbiotic Theory The first eukaryotes may have formed from one bacteria engulfing another without killing it. Later a symbiotic relationship was formed

32. Stop and Think… Are plant and animal cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic? How does the meaning of prokaryotic or eukaryotic help you answer this question? Give one or two examples that help you answer this question.

33. Plant Cells Cell wall located outside the cell membrane. Cell wall is made from cellulose fibers, and it is used for support & protection Contains one large vacuole that contains water. Vacuole full = plant is rigid. Vacuole loses water = plant wilts Chloroplasts = contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight & converts it into energy

34. Plant Cell Build a plant cell

35. Animal Cells Have no cell wall NO chlorophyll CANNOT make their own food

36. So Plant and Animal Cells are… Both eukaryotic cells- Both have nucleuses, organelles, cell membranes, cytoplasm

37. Plant and animal cell differences Plant Cells Cell wall Chloroplasts Large central vacuole No centrioles Animal Cells Have centrioles No cell wall No chloroplasts No large central vacuole Construct a cell

38. Diversity of Life Unicellular organisms- A single-celled organism Unicellular organisms include both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A prokaryotic unicellular organism A eukaryotic unicellular organism (paramecium) Contractile Vacuole

39. Multicellular organisms- organisms that have more than one cell working together. Have cell specialization Cell specialization- specific roles for different types of cells Diversity of Life Continued…

40. Levels of Organization Cells- the basic unit of life Tissues- a group of similar cells that perform a particular function Organs- many groups of tissues work together Organ Systems- A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function Organism- An entire living being made up of organ systems

41. Test your Knowledge… Using the following terms, place the levels of organization in the correct order of the chart. -Stomach- Digestive System -Smooth muscle tissue-Muscle Cell ????
