Presentation Transcript

  1. The Living Cell

  2. The Living Cell • “Cell” • Named by Robert Hooke who used microscope to look at cork (1663) • Described by Anton van Leeuwenhoek who designed his own microscope to look at living cells (1676) • “Cell Theory” developed by Schleiden & Schwann (1838)

  3. The Living Cell • Cell Theory • All living things are composed of cells • The cell is the fundamental unit of life • All cells arise from previous cells

  4. The Living Cell • Cell membrane • Separates the “inside” from the “outside” • Made from a bilayer of phospholipid molecules • Allows certain certain molecules to pass through • Has protein protein receptors to assist other molecules • May be surrounded by a cell wall (in plants)

  5. The Living Cell • Nucleus • Present in eukaryotes • Controls the cell’s heredity and chemistry • Contains DNA in chromosome pairs • “mitosis” results in 2 daughter cells with same DNA as original cell • “meiosis” results in the production of egg and sperm cells with ½ DNA as original cell

  6. The Living Cell • Energy organelles • Chloroplasts • Contains chlorophyll which absorbs energy from sunlight • Site of photosynthesis • Found in green plants • Mitochondria • Site of respiration • Release energy from food by metabolism • Found in both plants and animals

  7. The Living Cell • Photosynthesis vs. Respiration • Photosynthesis produces energy rich glucose • CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + O2 (carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen) • Respiration releases energy from glucose • C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O + energy sunlight

  8. The Living Cell • Energy generation in cell • Glycolysis is 1st step – breaks down glucose and produces ATP • Followed by • Respiration, in presence of oxygen • Fermentation, in absence of oxygen

  9. The Living Cell • Other organelles • Endoplasmic reticulum • Smooth • Rough • Ribosomes • Nucleoli • Golgi apparatus • Lysosomes • Vesicles and vacuoles • Cytoskeleton • Centrioles

  10. The Living Cell • Differences between plant and animal cells • Plant • Cell wall • Large central vacuole • Chloroplasts • Animal • None of the above • Centrioles
