  1. Biology 102 Lecture 8: Cell structure and function (Parts 1 and 2)

  2. Lecture outline • History of cell study • Basic attributes of cells • Cell structures

  3. I. The history of cell study • Robert Hooke—1665—coined the word cell, looked at cork cells • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek • Created optics that could visualize single cells • His technology “lost” for nearly 200 years • C. Robert Brown—1831—discovered the "nucleus"

  4. I. The history of cell study • D. Theodor Schwann—1838—viewed animal cells in cartilage • 1. Cells are the elementary particles of plants and animals • E. Mattias Schleiden—Cells are the fundamental basis of life • F. Virchow—1858—All cells come from cells

  5. I. The history of cell study • F. Cell theory • All living things are composed of one or more cells • What about viruses? • 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function • 3. All cells come from preexisting cells

  6. II. Attributes of cells • A. Cell size • 1. 1–100µm

  7. II. Attributes of cells • 2. Why is there a limit to cell size? • a. Surface-to-volume ratio • b. Distance from surface to center

  8. II. Attributes of cells • B. Cell types • 1. Prokaryotic—no nucleus (or other membrane-bound organelles) circular DNA, ribosomes

  9. II. Attributes of cells • B. Cell types • 2. Eukaryotic—larger, nucleus, linear chromosomes, membranous organelles

  10. III. Cell structure • A. All cells (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) possess a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material and ribosomes • 1. Plasma membrane has phospholipid bilayer, embedded glycoproteins • a. Isolates cytoplasm from environment • b. Regulates molecular movement into and out of cell • c. Interacts with other cells/environment

  11. III. Cell structure • A. All cells possess a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material and ribosomes (cont.) • Genetic material—DNA, found in the nucleus (of eukaryotes) • Within cytoplasm of prokaryotes • 3. Cytoplasm—water, salts, organic monomers and polymers • a. Contains organelles

  12. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles • 1. Ribosomes assemble amino acid monomers into polypeptide chains • a. Associated with the ER in eukaryotes • Composed of RNA and proteins • Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes • NOTE: Other organelles are present only in eukaryotes

  13. III. Cell structure • Organelles (cont.) • 2. Endoplasmic reticulum consists of folded membranes contiguous with outer nuclear membrane • Rough ER: protein synthesis and secretion • Smooth ER: lipid synthesis and secretion • Golgi apparatus: membranous sacs associated with the ER • Sorts proteins and lipids by destination • Modifies some molecules • Packages these materials, then transports them to appropriate location • 4. Lysosomes are Golgi-derived vesicles containing digestive enzymes

  14. Flow of membrane within the cell • Follow pathway of membrane flow • Nucleus • ER • Golgi apparatus • Lysosomes (and other packets of materials) • Plasma membrane

  15. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • 5. Mitochondria provide energy for cellular functions • Membrane-bound (two membranes) • Most concentrated in metabolically active cells (i.e. muscles) • Break down molecules to obtain their energy • Energy stored “short-term” as ATP • c. Have their own DNA and ribosomes; self-replicate

  16. Structure of a mitochondrion • Note: Different reactions occur in different parts of the mitochondrion

  17. Plant cells: Have all the organelles previously mentioned, and also…

  18. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • 6. Vacuoles • a. Large, water-filled spaces (cell sap) • b. Can take up over 90% of cell volume • Surrounded by tonoplast (a single membrane) • d. Functions: • 1) Storage of red/blue anthocyanins, acids, salts, wastes • 2) Maintain cell pressure (turgor pressure)—wilting

  19. Maintenance of turgor pressure

  20. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • 7. Chloroplasts • Note double membrane • Green—contain chlorophyll pigment • Stacks of thylakoids (grana) within stroma (fluid) • As for mitochondria, diff. parts have diff. functions • Have their own DNA and ribosomes; self-replicate

  21. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • 8. Other plastids • Storage of materials such as pigments and starch (as in potatos)

  22. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • 8. Nucleus is control center of the cell

  23. III. Cell structure • B. Organelles (cont.) • Functions of the parts of the nucleus • Nuclear envelope (membrane) with pores • Water, ions and ATP can pass through pores • Other materials are regulated by “gatekeeper” proteins in the pores • Nucleolus • Site of ribosome assembly • Chromatin • Between nucleolus and envelope • DNA and protein (not in nucleolus!) • Replication and transcription

  24. III. Cell structure • C. Cell walls in plant cells, prokaryotic cells, fungi • Plants • Cell walls of cellulose (Ch. 3) • Fungi • Cell walls of chitin (Ch. 3) • Function: support, protection • NOTE: Animal cells do not have cell walls!

  25. III. Cell structure • Cytoskeleton • Network of protein fibers to which organelles and even enzymes are attached • Microfilaments Intermed. Fil. Microtubules

  26. III. Cell structure • Cytoskeleton functions • Cell shape • Organization of cellular structures • Cell movement • Caused by assembly, disassembly and sliding of the filaments • Organelle movement • Ex: Endocytosis • Movement of membrane from ER to Golgi apparatus, etc… • Cell division

  27. III. Cell structure • E. Cilia and flagella are protein microtubule extensions of the plasma membrane • Cilia: short and numerous • Examples: within oviducts to move eggs, filter-feeding in invertebrates, movement of particles out of respiratory system

  28. III. Cell structure • 2. Flagella: longer and fewer
