The Discovery of Cells Microscope observations of organisms led to the discovery of the basic characteristics common to all living things. Scientists first discovered cells in the 1600s using crude microscopes. Observations made by scientists using more powerful microscopes in the 1800s led to the formation of the cell theory.

5
Cell Theory 1. All living things are made up of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms 3. All cells arise from existing cells.

Features of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
7
Cell Features Features of Prokaryotic Cells A prokaryote is an organism made of a single prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or other internal compartments. The genetic material of a prokaryotic cell is a single loop of DNA. For millions of years, prokaryotes were the only organisms on Earth.
8
Diversity in Cells, continued Diversity in Prokaryotes Prokaryotes can vary in shape, the way they obtain and use energy, and their ability to move. Many prokaryotes have a flagellum, a long, hair-like structure that grows out of the cell and enables the cell to move through its environment. Prokaryotes may also have pili, short outgrowths that allow the cell to attach to surfaces or other cells.

Cell Features, continued Features of Eukaryotic Cells A eukaryote is an organism made up of one or more eukaryotic cells. All multicellular organisms are made of eukaryotic cells. The DNA of a eukaryotic cell is found in an internal compartment of the cell called the nucleus. All eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. An organelle is a small structure found in the cytoplasm that carries out specific activities inside the cell.
11
Cell Features, continued Each organelle in a eukaryotic cell performs distinct functions. The complex organization of eukaryotic cells enables them to carry out more specialized functions than prokaryotic cells.
12
Diversity in Cells, continued Eukaryotic Cell Specialization Eukaryotic cells can vary in shape and external features. Depending on their function, eukaryotic cells can also vary in their internal organelles. For example, muscle cells, which use large amounts of energy, contain many mitochondria. Animal and plant cells are two types of eukaryotic cells. Both have many of the same organelles, but plant cells also have chloroplasts, a large central vacuole, and a cell wall.

17
Body Types Unicellular organisms can thrive independently or live together in groups. Cells that are permanently associated but do not work together or integrate cell activities are called colonial organisms. A multicellular organism is composed of many individual, permanently associated cells that coordinate their activities with each other. True multicellularity occurs only in eukaryotes.
18
Levels of Organization Plants and animals have many highly specialized cells that are arranged into tissues, organs, and organ systems. A tissue is a distinct group of similar cells that perform a common function. An organ is a collection of tissues that work together to form a structure which performs a specific function. An organ system is composed of a group of organs that work together to perform major body functions.

3-21 Nucleus Largest organelle most cells have one nucleus a few cells are anuclear or multinucleate nuclear envelope - two unit membranes surround nucleus regulate molecular traffic through envelope nucleoplasm – material in nucleus chromatin (thread-like matter) composed of DNA and protein nucleoli – one or more dark masses where ribosomes are produced

3-23 Ribosomes Ribosomes - small granules of protein and RNA found in nucleoli, in cytosol, and on outer surfaces of rough ER, and nuclear envelope they ‘read’ coded genetic messages (messenger RNA) and assemble amino acids into proteins specified by the code

26
3-26 endoplasmic reticulum - system of interconnected channels Rough endoplasmic reticulum – composed of parallel, flattened sacs covered with ribosomes produces the phospholipids and proteins of the plasma membrane synthesizes proteins that are packaged in other organelles or secreted from cell Endoplasmic Reticulum
27
3-27 Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth endoplasmic reticulum lack ribosomes synthesizes steroids and other lipids detoxifies alcohol and other drugs manufactures all membranes of the cell rough and smooth ER are functionally different parts of the same network

3-29 Golgi Complex Golgi complex - synthesize carbohydrates and put the finishing touches on protein receives newly synthesized proteins from rough ER packages the protein into membrane-bound Golgi vesicles some become lysosomes some migrate to plasma membrane and fuse to it some become secretory vesicles for later release
