Cell Structure and Function - The Basis of Life

1. Chapter 3: Cell Structure and Function

2. What are all living things made of? All living things are made up of cells. You have seen two cells, an amoeba and a paramecium. What did you notice about their sizes? They are really small, microscopic. What is needed in order to see cells?The microscope needed to be invented and improved in order to see cells clearly

3. If you couldn’t see something, how would you know it exists? The invention of the compound microscope by Zacharias Janssen in the late 1500’s allowed for the study of cells to occur • Cytology is the study of cells

4. Cell Study and Discovery • Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1678) - Used simple scopes to see “animalcules” • First to observe bacteria and protists • Robert Hooke (1665) – Observed cork. First to use the term “cells” • Matthias Schleiden (1888) – All plants are made up of cells • Theodore Schwann (1889) – All animals are made up of cells • Rudolph Virchow (1889) – Cells come from pre- existing cells.

5. **The Cell Theory** • All living things are made up of cells • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in all living things • Cells come from pre-existing cells

6. All living things are made up of cells. What in this room is like a cell? What is a cell? Cell – Basic unit of structure and function in all living things

7. Would a microscopic organism like a bacteria need to be very complex? Bacteria are simple, very small organism that can control what comes in and out of them, and can reproduce themselves because they have DNA and structures called ribosomes (for protein synthesis)

8. Types of cells DNA • Prokaryotic cells • Primitive cells – “before the nucleus” • *No nucleus* • No organelles surrounded by a membrane • Found in bacteria • Have only a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA & ribosomes Cell Wall DNA

9. What about our cells that are specific to their function? Do they need to be more complex? Yes or No? Why? Since our cells have specific functions, there is a greater level of complexity

10. Eukaryotic *“True nucleus”* • Have membrane – bound organelles • All other kingdoms except bacteria • ContainOrganelles • Specialized structures within the cytoplasm to perform distinct processes within the cell

11. Comparing the Two Cytoplasm DNA Cell Membrane

12. Structures common to both Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic cells • Cell Membrane • Ribosomes • DNA • Cytoplasm • Cell Walls(not in Animal or some Protist cells though!)

13. Prokaryotic Cell - Bacteria Cell Membrane DNA

14. Eukaryotic Animal Cell Cell Membrane

15. Eukaryotic Plant Cell

16. Cytoplasm • The jelly-like fluid filled area within a cell • Like our blood plasma, contains dissolved monomers like glucose, amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids and glycerol, vitamins and mineral plus ionic substances like NaCl

17. Cytoskeleton • Network of protein strands that provide support and mobility of organelles in cytoplasm. • 2 components of cytoskeleton - Microfilaments and Microtubules (both made of protein)

18. Nuclear Membrane Nucleus • Only in Eukaryotic cells. • *Stores hereditary information (DNA). • Surrounded by a double nuclear membrane or envelope w/ pores . • Nucleolus(1 or >) produces ribosomes DNA Nucleolus

19. Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic?How do you know?

20. Mitochondria - *Powerhouse of the cells. - Supplies energy to the cell (*Site of Cellular respiration) - Double membrane with inner membrane folded to increase surface area - Has its own DNA and ribosomes and can replicate themselves! - Found in greater numbers in cells such as muscle cells & liver cells (2500/cell) Cristae Double Membrane

21. Ribosomes – Most numerous organelle. *Site of protein synthesis.Link amino acids together to form proteins Made up of RNA and protein. May be free floating in cytoplasm or attached on Endoplasmic Reticulum

22. Endoplasmic Reticulum – Maze of folded channels connected to the nuclear envelope. . • There are two types of ER: 1 – Rough w/ ribosomes attached for production & distribution of proteins. 2 – Smooth – Synthesis of lipids& detoxification of toxins. *Many in the liver

23. Golgi Apparatus (Bodies) – Stack of smooth flat sacs - Modifies, collects, packages & distributes molecules to all parts of a cell

24. Lysosomes - *Stores digestive enzymes • Are the cells' garbage disposal system. They breakdown worn out organelles • Clean up dead cells • Responsible for the un-webbing of hands of fetus while developing in utero • These are rare in plant cells

25. Vesicles • Temporarily isolate and transport specific molecules • Proteins produced in the RER • Lipids produced in the SER • End up in Golgi Apparatus to be processed.

26. Vacuoles - *Stores food, water and wastes - Plant cells have a very large central watervacuole for support Acts like a giant water balloon that pushes on the cell wall - Animal cells have many small vacuoles

27. Centrioles – Found in animal cells 2 perpendicular bundles of microtubules - Function during cell division

28. Cell Wall • Found in plants, algae, fungus and bacteria • Gives cell rigidity, support and protection. • Made up of cellulose with pectin (glue) between adjacent cells.

29. Chloroplasts - found in leaves and some stems Convert solar energy into energy rich molecules (glucose) - Photosynthesis • Contain Chlorophyll, DNA and ribosomes • They can replicate as needed (with more sunlight)

30. What does a plant cell have that an animal cell does not? What does an animal cell have that a plant cell does not?

31. Cell Membrane – Present in ALL CELLS. • Separates the cell’s internal environment from the external environment. • Allows for the passage of some substances based on size and concentration • Selectively Permeabledue to pores being present

32. Made of a double layer of phospholipidswith proteins floating through it. • Outer part of membrane is made up of polar, hydrophilic heads • Inner part of membrane is made up of nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid tails • Proteins through membrane allow for passage of materials across the membrane

33. In the "fluid mosaic model" of membrane structure says that the molecules within the membrane move around. • Phospholipids regularly move sideways & flip • Proteins can not flip around Rap
