  1. CHAPTER 6:Life is Cellular

  2. I. History of Cells A. Microscopes 1. Merchants first used hand lens to asses cloth quality 2. Hans & Zacharias Janssen (c. 1590)- Dutch lens makers invented first compound microscope

  3. 3. Robert Hook (1665)- used light microscope to look at cork; Saw tiny chambers that he called “cells” • Anton Van Leeuwenhoek- one of the first to use microscopes to observe nature • Tiny organisms in H2O • “Animalcules”.. bacteria

  4. B. Cell Theory 1. When? 1838-1939 a. Matthias Schleiden • All plants made of cells b. Theodor Schwann • All animals made of cells

  5. 2. Rudolf Virchow • Studied cell reproduction/cancer • All cells came from another cell

  6. 3. Cell Theory a) All living things are composed of cells b) Cells are basic units of structure and function in living things c) New cells are produced from existing cells

  7. II. Cell Types A. Prokaryotes 1. Cells generally smaller 2. Do not have nuclei 3. Evolved first 4. All bacteria are prokaryotes • Ex: E. coli, staph

  8. B. Eukaryotes 1. Contain nucleus 2. Cells are more complex- many eukaryotes form larger, multi-cellular organisms 3. Evolved after prokaryotes 4. Ex: Plants, animals, & fungi

  9. III. Differences Between Plants & Animals • Plants Have (animals do not): Cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, large central water vacuole B. Animals have (plants do not): Centrioles, lysosomes

  10. IV. Boundaries of the Cell • Plasma/Cell Membrane: - All cells - Made of phospholipid monomers - Double-layer, hydrophobic tails in-between - Hydrophilic heads line outside and inside of cell • Cell Wall - Plants only, used for support and shape, protection - Made of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin

  11. V. Cellular Organization A. Unicellular- “one cell” 1. Cell IS the organism 2. Must perform all functions of life, tend to be more complex on a cellular basis than multi- cell organisms Ex: Include prokaryotes & eukaryotes

  12. B. Multi-cellular organisms 1. Cells do not live on their own “Interdependent” 2. Each has a function for the whole and cell specialization to perform particular functions within organism • Ex: Pancreatic cells

  13. C. 5 Levels of Organization • Individual cells • Tissues • Organs • Organ systems • Organism Cells • Specialization of functions • Nerve cells & muscle cells rely on other cells to give them materials

  14. Tissues • A group of similar cells that perform a particular function • Ex: cells in pancreas make digestive enzymes • Most animals have 4 types of tissue: • Muscle • Epithelial • Nervous • Connective

  15. Organs • Groups of tissues that work together • Ex: muscle has nerve cells & connective tissue organ systems • Group of organs that work together to perform a specific function • 11 major organ systems in human body

  16. END OF POWERPOINT YOU MUST KNOW ALL THE ORGANELLES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE STRUCTURES ON THE FOLLOWING SLIDES

  17. Basic Cell Structures • Typical cells are 5-50 μm • Cell membrane • thin, flexible barrier around cell • Cell wall • strong layer around cell membrane (plants) • serve to protect and support

  18. Basic Cell Structures • Nucleus • large structure containing cell’s genetic material and controls cell’s activities • Cytoplasm • material inside cell membrane but not including the nucleus

  19. Cytoplasm • Contains specialized cells called organelles that perform cellular functions

  20. Notes on Chapter 7.2 Cell Structures

  21. Cell wall • Found in plants, algae, fungi, and almost all prokaryotes • Animal cells do NOT have cell walls! • Allow H2O, O2, CO2, and other substances to pass • Function- to provide support & protection • Made of CH2O’s and protein • Plants- mostly cellulose

  22. Nucleus • Controls most cell processes • Contains hereditary information of DNA • DNA codes to make proteins • Chromatin • DNA bound to protein • spread throughout nucleus- condenses during division • Chromosomes • Distinct, thread-like, condensed chromatin • Contain genetic information

  23. Nucleolus • Small, dense region inside nucleus • Assembles ribosomes that make proteins Nuclear Membrane • Double-membrane layer • Many pores to allow materials in and out- “doors” • RNA

  24. Cytoskeleton • Protein & calcium filaments • Act like skeleton, give shape • Cell movement • Microtubules • hollow tubes; “tracks” that organelles use to move • Important in cell division; separate chromosomes • Cilia • Flagella

  25. Microfilaments • Give movement & support • Tough, flexible framework • Motor proteins move organelles

  26. Ribosomes • Made of RNA in nucleolus • Assemble proteins • “Workers”

  27. Endoplasmic reticulum • “Conveyor belt” • Makes cell membrane components • Modifies proteins • rough and smooth • Rough ER- involved in synthesis of proteins • Gets appearance by ribsomes

  28. Ribosomes • Smooth ER- does not have ribosomes on surface • Makes lipids for cell membranes

  29. Golgi Apparatus • “Quality control” • Stack of membranes • Proteins made by RER move here • Enzymes modify carbohydrates and lipids to proteins • Brings to the cell surface to be secreted

  30. Lysosomes • “Janitors” • Small, filled with enzymes • Break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into particles the cell uses • Break down old organelles

  31. Vacuoles • “Storage” • Store H2O, salts, proteins, CH2Os • Support structures, like leaves and flowers • Plants often have a central, large vacuole • Smaller vacuoles- “vesicles”

  32. Chloroplasts • “Solar panels” • Found in plants • Use energy from sunlight to make energy/food- Glucose • “photosynthesis” • Two envelope membranes • Stacks of membranes that hold green pigment • DNA

  33. Mitochondria • “Power house” • Release energy from stored food • Use energy to make high-energy compounds • Cell growth, development, and movement • 2 envelope membranes • DNA • Inherited from mom! • Found in all eukaryotic cells

  34. Cell as a factory • Plasma membrane-“shipping/receiving department” • Cytoskeleton- “walls, roof, and beams” • Nucleus- “the control center, CEO” • Ribosome-“workers” • Golgi Apparatus-“Quality control” • Mitochondria and chloroplasts-“power sources” • Lysosomes-“janitors”
