This text provides an overview of the structure and function of cells, including the discovery of cells, the cell theory, and the diversity of cells in terms of size, shape, and internal organization. It discusses the different types of cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) and their organelles, such as the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, chromosomes, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, golgi bodies, lysosomes, and vacuoles.

Cell Structure & Function http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html
Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.
Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Bacteria Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell
Discovery of Cells • The invention of the lens • Robert Hooke (1665): observed a thin slice of cork (dead plant cells) with a microscope. He described what he observed as “little boxes” (cells).
The Cell Theory • What is the cell theory? 1. All living things are composed of one or more cells. 2. Cells are organisms’ basic units of structure and function. 3. Cells come only from existing cells.
The Cell Theory • Who developed the cell theory? • Matthias Schleiden (1838): concluded that all plants are composed of cells • Theodor Schwann (1839): concluded that all animals are composed of cells • Rudolph Virchow (1855): determined that cells come only from other cells
Cell Diversity • Size • Shape • Internal Organization
Smallest Cells: Cell Diversity- Size Biggest Cells: Longest Cells: 6 inches long, 5 inches wide, 3 pounds Ostrich Egg
Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Cells • Do not have structures surrounded by membranes • Few internal structures • One-celled organisms, Bacteria http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html
Eukaryotic • Contain organelles surrounded by membranes • Most living organisms Plant Animal http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html
“Typical” Animal Cell http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/images/cell.gif
“Typical” Plant Cell http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/plant3.gif
The Parts of the Cell • Each living cell carries out the tasks of taking food, transforming food into energy, getting rid of wastes, and reproducing.
Cell Parts Organelles
Cell Membrane • Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell • Double layer • Selectively permeable • Found in all cells http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Cell Wall • Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria • Supports & protects cells http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Nucleus • Structure: the nucleus is a sphere that contains another sphere called a nucleolus • controls cell activities -Contains genetic material - DNA
Nucleolus • Inside nucleus • Contains RNA to build proteins http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Chromosomes • In nucleus • Made of DNA • Contain instructions for traits & characteristics http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Cytoplasm • Gel-like mixture • Surrounded by cell membrane • Contains hereditary material
Endoplasmic Reticulum • intercellular highway (a path along which molecules move from one part of the cell to another) Smooth ER: lacks ribosomes • Rough ER (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface * Smooth and Rough ER have different functions http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Ribosomes • Each cell contains thousands • Make proteins • Found on ribosomes & floating throughout the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Mitochondria • Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates • Controls level of water and other materials in cell • Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Golgi Bodies • Protein 'packaging plant' • Move materials within the cell • Move materials out of the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Lysosome • Function: breaks down food particles, invading objects, or worn out cell parts http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Vacuoles • Structure: a sac of fluid surrounded by a membrane • Very large in plants • Function: used for temporary storage of wastes, nutrients, and water http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Chloroplast • Usually found in plant cells • Contains green chlorophyll • Where photosynthesis takes place http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Science Closure12-1-14 In which cell organelle does photosynthesis take place? A. vacuole B. chloroplasts C. cell wall D. mitochondrion
