Chapter 4 : Parts of a cell Cell Theory: 1600’sRobert Hooke – discovered cells
Nucleus: control center • Nuclear membrane • Chromatin – DNA tangles • Nucleolus – produces ribosomes
Plasma or Cell Membrane • Maintains homeostasis • Controls what goes into and out of the cell
Cell Wall – Plants and Fungus cells only • Function – protection and support • Made up of cellulose or chitin
Cytoplasm • Material that organells are suspended into
Endoplasmic Recticulum (ER) • Function – assembly and transport of proteins • Folded system of membranes • Two types of : • Rough ER- ribosomes • Smooth ER
Golgi Complex • Function – receives proteins from ER, packages and ships proteins
Lysosomes • Function – digestion, (worn out cell parts, food particles, invading bacteria)_
Vacuole • Membrane bound organelle, bubble • Function – store food, store waste
Mitochondria – Power House • Function: furnish energy by breaking down “food” • Production of ATP
Chloroplasts – plants only • Function – photosynthesis, a type of plastid
Cilia and flagella- movement • Allows cells to move • Cilia – short hairlike structures surrounding the cell • Flagella - tail
Prokaryote No organells No nucleus Ex. Bacteria Eukaryote True cells Have a nucleus and membrane bound structure All other cells Two Types of Cells http://www.earthlife.net/prokaryotes/welcome.html
Cell Size • Cells need surface area large enough to allow for the exchange of materials. • Which cell above has the most surface area? • Does it matter if a cells grows too large?
