Cell Structure and Function
Chapter 3: Cell Structure and Function
2
What are all living things made of?
All living things are made up of cells. You have seen two cells, an amoeba and a paramecium. What did you notice about their sizes? They are really small, microscopic. What is needed in order to see cells? The microscope needed to be invented and improved in order to see cells clearly
3
If you couldn’t see something, how would you know it exists?
The invention of the compound microscope by Zacharias Janssen in the late 1500’s allowed for the study of cells to occur Cytology is the study of cells
4
Cell Study and Discovery
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1678) - Used simple scopes to see “animalcules” First to observe bacteria and protists Robert Hooke (1665) – Observed cork. First to use the term “cells” Matthias Schleiden (1888) – All plants are made up of cells Theodore Schwann (1889) – All animals are made up of cells Rudolph Virchow (1889) – Cells come from pre- existing cells.
5
**The Cell Theory** All living things are made up of cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things Cells come from pre-existing cells
6
All living things are made up of cells.
What in this room is like a cell? What is a cell? Cell – Basic unit of structure and function in all living things
7
Would a microscopic organism like a bacteria need to be very complex?
Bacteria are simple, very small organism that can control what comes in and out of them, and can reproduce themselves because they have DNA and structures called ribosomes (for protein synthesis)
8
Types of cells *No nucleus* Prokaryotic cells
Primitive cells – “before the nucleus” *No nucleus* No organelles surrounded by a membrane Found in bacteria Have only a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA & ribosomes DNA Cell Wall DNA
9
What about our cells that are specific to their function
What about our cells that are specific to their function? Do they need to be more complex? Yes or No? Why? Since our cells have specific functions, there is a greater level of complexity
10
Have membrane – bound organelles All other kingdoms except bacteria
Eukaryotic *“True nucleus”* Have membrane – bound organelles All other kingdoms except bacteria Contain Organelles Specialized structures within the cytoplasm to perform distinct processes within the cell
11
Comparing the Two Cytoplasm DNA Cell Membrane
12
Structures common to both Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic cells
Cell Membrane Ribosomes DNA Cytoplasm Cell Walls (not in Animal or some Protist cells though!)

Prokaryotic Cell - Bacteria

15
Eukaryotic Plant Cell
16
Cytoplasm The jelly-like fluid filled area within a cell
Like our blood plasma, contains dissolved monomers like glucose, amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids and glycerol, vitamins and mineral plus ionic substances like NaCl
17
Cytoskeleton Network of protein strands that provide support and mobility of organelles in cytoplasm. 2 components of cytoskeleton - Microfilaments and Microtubules (both made of protein)
18
Nucleus Only in Eukaryotic cells.
*Stores hereditary information (DNA). Surrounded by a double nuclear membrane or envelope w/ pores . Nucleolus (1 or >) produces ribosomes Nuclear Membrane DNA Nucleolus
19
Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic? How do you know?
20
Mitochondria - *Powerhouse of the cells.
- Supplies energy to the cell (*Site of Cellular respiration) - Double membrane with inner membrane folded to increase surface area - Has its own DNA and ribosomes and can replicate themselves! - Found in greater numbers in cells such as muscle cells & liver cells (2500/cell) Cristae Double Membrane
21
Ribosomes – Most numerous organelle.
*Site of protein synthesis. Link amino acids together to form proteins Made up of RNA and protein. May be free floating in cytoplasm or attached on Endoplasmic Reticulum
22
Endoplasmic Reticulum
– Maze of folded channels connected to the nuclear envelope. . There are two types of ER: 1 – Rough w/ ribosomes attached for production & distribution of proteins. 2 – Smooth – Synthesis of lipids & detoxification of toxins. *Many in the liver
23
Golgi Apparatus (Bodies)
– Stack of smooth flat sacs - Modifies, collects, packages & distributes molecules to all parts of a cell
24
- *Stores digestive enzymes
Lysosomes - *Stores digestive enzymes Are the cells' garbage disposal system. They breakdown worn out organelles Clean up dead cells Responsible for the un-webbing of hands of fetus while developing in utero These are rare in plant cells
25
Vesicles Temporarily isolate and transport specific molecules
Proteins produced in the RER Lipids produced in the SER End up in Golgi Apparatus to be processed.
26
Vacuoles - *Stores food, water and wastes
- Plant cells have a very large central water vacuole for support Acts like a giant water balloon that pushes on the cell wall - Animal cells have many small vacuoles
27
Centrioles – Found in animal cells
2 perpendicular bundles of microtubules - Function during cell division
28
Cell Wall Found in plants, algae, fungus and bacteria
Gives cell rigidity, support and protection. Made up of cellulose with pectin (glue) between adjacent cells.
29
Chloroplasts - found in leaves and some stems
Convert solar energy into energy rich molecules (glucose) - Photosynthesis Contain Chlorophyll, DNA and ribosomes They can replicate as needed (with more sunlight)
30
What does a plant cell have that an animal cell does not?
What does an animal cell have that a plant cell does not?
31
Cell Membrane – Present in ALL CELLS.
Separates the cell’s internal environment from the external environment. Allows for the passage of some substances based on size and concentration Selectively Permeable due to pores being present
32
Made of a double layer of phospholipids with proteins floating through it.
Outer part of membrane is made up of polar, hydrophilic heads Inner part of membrane is made up of nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid tails Proteins through membrane allow for passage of materials across the membrane
33
In the "fluid mosaic model" of membrane structure says that the molecules within the membrane move around. Phospholipids regularly move sideways & flip Proteins can not flip around Rap
