  1. Chapter 4 The Cell: Anatomy and Division

  2. The Anatomy of a Cell Figure 3.2

  3. A typical cell • Nucleus • DNA bound to histones • Chromatin • Chromosomes • Chromatids • Nucleoli • Nuclear membrane • Nuclear pores

  4. The Nucleus

  5. The Plasma Membrane

  6. The Plasma Membrane • Selective permeability • Microvilli • Fingerlike projections

  7. The cytoplasm contains: • The fluid (cytosol) • The organelles the cytosol surrounds

  8. The organelles

  9. Ribosomes • Are responsible for manufacturing proteins • Are composed of a large and a small ribosomal subunit • Contain ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Can be free or fixed ribosomes

  10. Endoplasmic reticulum • Intracellular membranes involved in synthesis, storage, transportation and detoxification • Forms cisternae • Rough ER (RER) contains ribosomes • Modifies and stores new proteins • Transports new proteins to other areas of the cell • Smooth ER (SER) • Involved in lipid synthesis

  11. The Endoplasmic Reticulum

  12. Golgi Apparatus • Forms secretory vesicles • Discharged by exocytosis • Forms new membrane components • Packages lysosomes

  13. Lysosomes and Peroxisomes • Lysosomes are • Filled with digestive enzymes • Responsible for autolysis of injured cells • Peroxisomes • Carry enzymes that neutralize alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and other harmful chemicals

  14. Mitochondria • Responsible for ATP production through aerobic respiration • Matrix = fluid contents of mitochondria • Cristae = folds in inner membrane

  15. Centrioles • Direct the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division • Forms the base of cilia and flagella

  16. Cytoskeleton provides strength and flexibility • Supports and moves substances within the cell • Microfilaments • Intermediate filaments • Thick filaments • Microtubules

  17. Cytoskeleton

  18. Cell Division: Mitosis and Cytokinesis

  19. Interphase • Most somatic cells spend the majority of their lives in this phase • Interphase includes • G1 – centrioles replication starts • S – DNA replication, centriole replication • G2 – centriole replication ends

  20. Cell division

  21. Mitosis, or nuclear division, has four phases • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

  22. Cytokinesis • It is the division of the cytoplasm • Cleavage furrow
