Chapter 7 A Tour of the Cell
cells – basic units of structure/function microscopy – light microscope (LM) electron microscope (TEM, SEM) -resolving power -Leeuwenhoek (1600’s) -Robert Hooke (1665) -cell fractionation - centrifuge
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic cells (largest distinction) • Cytoplasm/cytosol • Cell size limitations plasma membrane – thin, transparent, phospholipid bilayer, flexible, selectively permeable, porous
Structures found in all cells • Cytosol • Plasma membrane • Ribosomes • DNA (chromatin/chromosomes)
Organization – Ultrastructure:Nucleus ~ 5mm diameter nuclear envelope: pore complex chromosomes/chromatin nucleolus: nucleolar organizers
Figure 7.5 Geometric relationships explain why most cells are microscopic
Ribosomes free bound Endomembrane system endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae rough smooth
Golgi apparatus dictyosome Lysosome Microbodies peroxisomes – produce H2O2 glyoxysomes – initiate conversion of fat to sugar Vacuole Mitochondrion
Figure 7.16 Review: relationships among organelles of the endomembrane system
Figure 7.14 The formation and functions of lysosomes (Layer 3)
Plastids chloroplasts amyloplasts chromoplasts: xanthophyll – yellow carotene – orange phycoerythrin – red
Cytoskeleton microtubules microfilaments intermediate filaments Centrioles Cilia Flagella (eukaryotic 9+2) Pseudopodia
Figure 7.23 A comparison of the beating of flagella and cilia
Cell wall primary middle lamella secondary plasmodesma (plants) ECM (extracellular matrix)
Intercellular junctions • Tight junctions – continuous belts fused to prevent leakage ex: intestinal epithelium 2) Desmosomes – anchoring junctions ex: epithelial sheets • Gap junctions – communicating junctions ex: in heart muscle cells
