  1. Cell Features http://personal.tmlp.com/Jimr57/textbook/chapter3/images/cell1.jpg http://www.rds-online.org.uk/upload/images/left/adult%20human%20bone%20marrow%20stem%20cell.jpg http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/taxonomy/plants/spermatophyta/angiosperms/dicotyledonae/Rutaceae/Gas%20Plant/JSC%200005%20Gas%20Plant.JPG

  2. Cell Theory • 1. All living things are made of one or more cells. • 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. • 3. All cells arise from existing cells.

  3. Small cells function more efficiently than large cells • Small cells can exchange substances more rapidly than large cells because small objects have a higher surface area to volume ratio. • Substances don’t need to travel as far to reach the center of a small cell.

At some point as cells increase in size, there isn't enough cell membrane to adequately supply the cell interior with enough oxygen, water, and food. When this happens, the cell dies. http://library.thinkquest.org/C006669/media/Biol/img/surface_area_to_volume_ratio.gif

  5. Common features of cells • Cell membrane – encloses the cell, regulates what enters and leaves the cell • Cytoplasm- interior of a cell • Cytoskeleton- system of microscopic fibers • Ribosomes-make proteins • DNA-instructions for making proteins, regulates cellular activities and reproduction

  6. Prokaryotes • Smallest and simplest • Single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and other organelles. • Bacteria • Cell wall –provides structure and support • Flagella- long threadlike structures used for movement http://www.prokaryote.com/prokaryote.jpg http://www.haverford.edu/biology/Courses/bio300/BioGallery00/presentation.llem/EM/SEM%203D%20photo%20of%20E-Coli%20%23A93.jpg

  7. Eukaryotic Cells • Has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles • Organelle- structure that carries out specific activities in the cell. • Cilia and flagella move some cells through their environment. • Cilia-short hairlike structures http://bioweb.usc.edu/courses/2001-spring/documents/gifs/eukaryote.gif
