  1. Lesson Overview 7.2 Cell Structure

  2. Cell Organization • The eukaryotic cell can be divided into two major parts: the nucleus and the cytoplasm. • The cytoplasm is the fluid portion of the cell outside the nucleus. • Prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm as well, even though they do not have a nucleus

  3. Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus but no cytoplasm. • True • False 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  4. According to your text book, a eukaryotic cell has two main parts. They are: • Plasma membrane, cytoplasm • Cytoplasm and ribosomes • Nucleus and cytoplasm • Plasma membrane and centrioles 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  5. The Nucleus • In the same way that the main office controls a large factory, the nucleus is the control center of the cell. • The nucleus contains nearly all the cell’s DNA and, with it, the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules. • The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope composed of two membranes.

  6. The Nucleus • Most nuclei also contain a small, dense region known as the nucleolus. • The nucleolus is where the assembly of ribosomes begins.

  7. Which of the following is NOT part of the nucleus? • DNA • Nucleolus • Nuclear pores • Golgi apparatus • Chromatin 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  8. The ribosome is manufactured (at least in part) in the nucleolus. • True • False 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  9. Vacuoles and Vesicles • Many cells contain large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures called • vacuoles that store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and • carbohydrates.

  10. Vacuoles and Vesicles • Nearly all eukaryotic cells contain smaller membrane-enclosed structures called vesicles. Vesicles are used to store and move materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface.

  11. Which of the following is generally used to store and move materials from organelle to organelle? • Vacuole • Vesicle • Endoplasmic Reticulum • Plasma membrane 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  12. Lysosomes • Lysosomes are small organelles filled with enzymes that function as the cell’s cleanup crew. Lysosomes perform the vital function of removing “junk” that might otherwise accumulate and clutter up the cell.

  13. If a cell has the job of getting rid of substances no longer needed, which of the following organelles would it choose to do the job? • Nucleus • Golgi apparatus • Lysosome • Nucleolus • DNA 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  14. The Cytoskeleton • Eukaryotic cells are given their shape and internal organization by a network of protein filaments known as the cytoskeleton. • Certain parts of the cytoskeleton also help to transport materials between different parts of the cell, much like conveyer belts that carry materials from one part of a factory to another.

  15. Microfilaments • Microfilaments are threadlike structures made up of a protein called actin. • They form extensive networks in some cells and produce a tough, flexible framework that supports the cell. • Microfilaments also help cells move. • Microfilament assembly and disassembly is responsible for the cytoplasmic movements that allow cells, such as amoebas, to crawl along surfaces.

  16. Microtubules • Microtubules are hollow structures made up of proteins known as tubulins. • They play critical roles in maintaining cell shape. • Microtubules are also important in cell division, where they form a structure known as the mitotic spindle, which helps to separate chromosomes. • Centrioles are located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division. • Centrioles are not found in plant cells.

  17. Ribosomes • Ribosomes are small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells. • Ribosomes produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from DNA. • Each ribosome is like a small machine in a factory, turning out proteins on orders that come from its DNA “boss.”

  18. Endoplasmic Reticulum • Eukaryotic cells contain an internal membrane system known as the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER. • The endoplasmic reticulum is where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.

  19. A cell is getting ready to divide. It needs one of these organelles more than the others. Which one is it? • Microfilaments • Endoplasmic reticulum • Microtubules • Vesicles 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  20. Endoplasmic Reticulum • The portion of the ER involved in the synthesis of proteins is called rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER. It is given this name because of the ribosomes found on its surface. • Newly made proteins leave these ribosomes and are inserted into the rough ER, where they may be chemically modified.

  21. Endoplasmic Reticulum • The other portion of the ER is known as smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) because ribosomes are not found on its surface. • In many cells, the smooth ER contains collections of enzymes that perform specialized tasks, including the synthesis of membrane lipids and the detoxification of drugs.

  22. Golgi Apparatus • Proteins produced in the rough ER move next into the Golgi apparatus, which appears as a stack of flattened membranes. • The proteins are bundled into tiny vesicles that bud from the ER and carry them to the Golgi apparatus. • The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell.

  23. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum. Which one works closely with the Golgi apparatus to build proteins? • Smooth ER • Rough ER • Moderate ER 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  24. One of the ER’s is very good at detoxification and synthesizing the lipid portion of membranes. Which one? • Rough ER • Smooth ER • Apple ER • Golgi ER 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  25. Organelles That Capture and Release Energy • All living things require a source of energy. Most cells are powered by food molecules that are built using energy from the sun. • Chloroplasts and mitochondria are both involved in energy conversion processes within the cell.

  26. Chloroplasts • Plants and some other organisms contain chloroplasts. • Chloroplasts are the biological equivalents of solar power plants. They capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis.

  27. Mitochondria • Nearly all eukaryotic cells, including plants, contain mitochondria. • Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell. They convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. • You get your mitochondria from Mom!

  28. Which of the following statements is true? • Plant cells have both chloroplasts and mitochondria • Plant cells get all of their energy from chloroplasts • Animal cells get all of their energy from chloroplasts 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  29. Cellular Boundaries • Similarly, cells are surrounded by a barrier known as the cell membrane. • Many cells, including most prokaryotes, also produce a strong supporting layer around the membrane known as a cell wall. • Plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes have cell walls. Animal cells do not have cell walls.

  30. Cell Membranes • All cells contain a cell membrane that regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also protects and supports the cell.

  31. Cell Membranes • The composition of nearly all cell membranes is a double-layered sheet called a lipid bilayer, which gives cell membranes a flexible structure and forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings.

  32. The Fluid Mosaic Model • Because the proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer can move around and “float” among the lipids, and because so many different kinds of molecules make up the cell membrane, scientists describe the cell membrane as a “fluid mosaic.”

  33. The Fluid Mosaic Model • Some of the proteins form channels and pumps that help to move material across the cell membrane. • Many of the carbohydrate molecules act like chemical identification cards, allowing individual cells to identify one another.

  34. F_U_D M_S_I_ Which letters below can be used to fill in the blanks to form a terms used to describe how a cell membrane is put together? • M Y I I A • U U K A Y • O C I L A • I C G I O 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  35. Animal cells have a cell wall if they need more support than the average cell. • True • False 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now

  36. The “head” of the lipid bilayer faces toward the inside or the outside of the cell because • It is hydrophilic and hates water • It is hydrophilic and loves water • It is hydrophobic and hates water • It is hydrophobic and loves water 0 of 5 Non-Response Grid Answer Now
