3. Hooke’s First Microscope
4. History of the Cell 1665- Robert Hooke described cork as composed of cellulae (cell).
A few years later-Anton van Leeuwenhoek described live cells.
1838 and 1839- Schleiden and Schwann developed the cell theory.
5. Schleiden and Schwann- Cell Theory All organisms are composed of cells or at least one.
Cells are the smallest unit of life (a collection of metabolic processes + heredity).
All cells come from other cells. None spontaneously arise.
6. Different types of microscopes
Can be used to visualize different sized cellular structures
7. Use different methods for enhancing visualization of cellular structures
9. The scanning electron microscope (SEM)
Provides for detailed study of the surface of a specimen

11. The process of cell fractionation
13. What’s the world’s largest living cell? Surface to Volume Ratio
14. A smaller cell
Has a higher surface to volume ratio, which facilitates the exchange of materials into and out of the cell

55. The ER can Grow!
56. Two Types of (ER) 1. Rough ER: heavily studded with ribosomes- protein synthesis. Proteins have signal sequences which direct to a docking site on the surface of the ER.
2. Smooth ER: lack ribosomes; have enzymes embedded in membrane for carbohydrate and lipid synthesis.
3. Both secrete finished products in transport vesicles.

62. Transport of Proteins
63. Proteins Leaving the Golgi
64. The Golgi Complex Proteins (from RER) may have short sugar chains added--> glycoproteins.
Lipids (from SER) may have short sugar chains added-->glycolipids.
Both collect at flattened ends-cisternae.
Cisternae membranes pinch off the glycoproteins and glycolipids into secretory vesicles (liposomes).
Liposomes may fuse with plasma membane or organelle membranes.

Once fused with food vacuole- pump H+ into compartment- active, Secondary Lysosomes.
Involved in normal cell death and programmed cell death (apoptosis).

103. Actin Filaments Made of globular protein monomers- actin
Actin monomers polymerize to form actin filaments
Filaments are connected to proteins within the plasma membrane.
104. How do you put actin together?
105. Actin Filaments Actin filaments are thinner, cause cellular movements like ameboid movements, cell pinching during division.

122. Show me REAL microtubular treadmilling!
123. Microtubules Use specialized motor proteins to move organelles along the microtubule.
