Delve into the fascinating world of cells with this detailed timeline of history and exploration of cell theory. Learn about the key components such as the cell membrane, nucleus, organelles, and more. Discover the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and explore the intricate processes within cells. From the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria, to the vital role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis, uncover the remarkable complexity of cellular structures. Animated demonstrations bring the fluid mosaic model and endomembrane system to life. Gain insights into cell division, organelle functions, and the significance of cell walls in plant cells. Embark on a visual journey into the inner workings of cells!

Cell Theory • All living things are made up of cells (organisms are either unicellular or multicellular) • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things • All cells arise from preexisting cells
Cell Organelles • “little organs” • specialized parts of the cell which carry out specific life functions
Bacteria - Prokaryotes • Lacks Nucleus • Has Cell Wall ( Most of the time ) • DOES NOT have membrane bound organelle
Eukaryotes • Have Nucleus • Has membrane bound organelle
1. Cell ( Plasma ) Membrane • separates cell from surrounding environment • controls the movement of molecules into or out of the cell • selectively permeable (semi-permeable) • visible with the compound microscope
Fluid Mosaic Model of Membrane Structure • flexible structure with freely moving pieces • composed mainly of lipids and proteins • fluid mosaic model animation
Fluid Mosaic Model of Membrane Structure • proteins extend through the membrane or (transport proteins) • other proteins on outside act as receptors for communication
2. Cytoplasm • watery material between the cell membrane and the nucleus • suspends organelles • site of chemical reactions
3. Nucleus • contains DNA -Genetic Info • surrounded by a nuclear membrane that has pores • visible under the compound light microscope
4. Nucleolus • site of ribosome synthesis • located within the nucleus
5. Ribosomes • site of Protein Synthesis • Using information from DNA
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum • network of channels for carrying substances from one part of the cell to another
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) • Rough ER is dotted with Ribosomes to make enzymes to be secreted from the cell
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) • Smooth ER lacks Ribosomes. Deal with taking out toxins from the body
8. Golgi apparatus • stacks of membranes forming flattened sacs • Process, Package, (transported out of the cell) Golgi apparatus animation Endomembrane system animation
Exocytosis – release of a substance outside of the cell membrane by the fusion of a vacuole
9. Lysosomes • sac of digestive enzymes • digest organic molecules, worn-out cell structures, harmful bacteria
10. Vacuoles • variety of functions: 1) food vacuoles 2) contractile vacuoles in freshwater protists pump out excess water 3) plant cells have a large central vacuole for water and nutrient storage
11. Mitochondria (Mitochondrion) • “powerhouse of the cell” • site of cellular respiration: glucose + oxygen is converted to energy in the form of ATP ( Energy)
12. Centrioles • found in pairs near cell nucleus • involved in cell division • found in animal cells but not plant cells
PLANT CELL: • Does NOT have Centrioles • HAS Chloroplasts • HAS Cell Wall -
13. Chloroplasts • found in plants, algae • contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs light to start photosynthesis
14. Cell Wall • found in plant cells only • made of cellulose • provides protection & structure for the cell; prevents expansion
