  1. Ch 4 CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

  2. The Cell • The cell is the smallest unit of life that can carry out life processes.

  3. Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cellular Organization

  4. Discoveries Leading to The Cell Theory • Robert Hooke – 1665 -observed cork through a light microscope. • Anton Van Leewenhoek – 1675 -observed LIVING cells. • Matthias Schleiden – 1883 –plants are made of cells. • Theodor Schwann – 1839 –animals are made of cells

  5. The Cell Theory • The cell theory states that all living organisms are made of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function, and cells come only from pre-existing cells.

  6. Two Basic Types of Cells

  7. Prokaryotic Cell • Prokaryotic-cells that do not have a nucleus and internal membrane-bound structures • Most unicellular organisms are prokaryotes. • Bacteria

  8. Eukaryotic Cell • Eukaryotic-Cells that do have a nucleus and internal membrane-bound structures. • Most multicellular organisms are eukaryotes. • Yeast and algae (unicellular, eukaryotes) • Plant and animal

  9. Cytoplasm – Gel like material that protects, supports and suspends organelles. Features Common to Cells: All cells have either DNA or RNA or both.

  10. Cell membrane – Semi-permeable allows some materials in and keeps others out. This helps to maintain cellular homeostasis. Features Common to Cells:

  11. Phospholipid Bilayer -2 layers ofphospholipids. Phospholipid- phosphate head attached to two lipids (fattyacid tails). Polar phosphate group allows membrane to interact with its environment. Fatty acid tails create a water-insoluble layer in the middle which is non-polar. Fluid mosaic model-membrane is flexible Cholesterol-keeps fatty acid tails from sticking together Transport proteins-allow needed substances to move through the membrane Structure of the Plasma Membrane

  12. Parts of the Cell Chapter 4

  13. Nucleus • Nucleolus-makes ribosomes • Ribosomes-site where proteins are made • Can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum • “Command center” • Surrounded by a nuclear envelope • Contains genetic material: • chromatin • chromosomes

  14. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) • Produce and store lipids • Series of folded membranes allow a large amount of work to be done in a small amount of space • Transportation unit for the cell • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) • Ribosomes attached • Protein synthesis

  15. Golgi ApparatusVesicles • Flattened tubular membranes • Packaging plant • Modify, sort, package, and transport proteins throughout the cell

  16. VACUOLES • Storage sacs Temporary storage of materials • Store food, enzymes, waste • Plant cells have one large vacuole. • Animal cells have many small vesicles.

  17. LYSOSOMES • Contain digestive enzymes • Digest excess or worn organelles, food particles, viruses, and bacteria • Surrounded by membrane that prevents it from destroying the cell • Can burst causing cell death

  18. Chapter 4 Mitochondria • Cellular respiration -converts food into energy • Cell “Powerhouse” • Number of mitochondria depends upon the function of the cell • Ex: muscles cells have more mitochondria than fat cells

  19. Centriole • Help with cell reproduction • Only found in animal cells

  20. Plastids – Color pigments of cells • Examples: • Chloroplast – Located in plant cells, some bacteria, and protists. • Capture light energy to produce and store food • Contain chlorophyll-green pigment that traps light energy

  21. Features Common to Cells: • Cytoskeleton – tiny fibers that give structure and support to the cell. • Microfilament- thin and tubular…support the cell membrane. • Microtubule- thick and tubular also branched. Act as “rails” on which materials move through the cell.

  22. Aid in movement and feeding Composed of microtubules Cilia-short, numerous hair-like projections that move in a wavelike motion Flagella-long, whip-like projections Cilia and Flagella

  23. Rigid outer covering PLANT CELLS Located outside the cell membrane Provides support and protection Helps produce turgor pressure Cell wall

  24. Animal Cell Plant Cell

  25. Plant cell vs. Animal Cell

  26. Plant vs Animal cells • Animal Cell vs. Plant cell • Animal Cell • DO contain centrioles. • DO NOT contain a cell wall or plastids. • Plant Cell • DO contain a cell wall, plastids, and a large central vacuole. • DO NOT contain centrioles
