Cell Structure and Function
All living thingsare made up of one or more CELLS! • Cells are either prokaryotic or eukaryotic • What are the differences?
Cell Types Can you guess what each of these cells are?
1. The Nucleus *Contains genetic material - Chromosomes i) Nuclear Envelope – 2 membranes with pores ii) Chromatin – thread like Becomes chromosomes (condenced) during cell division Meaningful parts=genes Made of - DNA & proteins iii) NucleOlus – dark center Makes rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
2.Cytoplasm • All other organelles found here • Defined by cell membrane & envelope • Cytoskeleton – maintains cell’s shape
Organelles in the Cytoplasm Ribosomes • smallest organelle • Made of rRNA (made ______?) &proteins • Site of protein synthesis
2 types of Ribosomes Free Floating • Make proteins for cell use Embedded in ER • Make proteins for export out of cell
ER – interconnected membrane, tubular canals,begin at nuclear envelope RER • Studded with ribosomes • Synthesize proteins for export (use outside of the cell) • Ex - insulin SER • NO ribos • Synthesize lipids • (ex. Male testes – make testosterone – a lipid steroid – so lots of SER) • Help liver in detox. process
Golgi Bodies • Flattened sacs (NOT CONNECTED!!!!) • Closer to cell membrane • Sort & separates proteins & lipids • Modifies some molecules • Packages materials for export/or to stay • PACKAGING
Lysosomes double membrane -formed by G.B. • Contain HYDROLYTIC enzymes -- carry out HYDROLYSIS • Digest food particles, destroy old cells • AUTODIGESTION – tadpole tail
Mitochondria (kidney bean) • Double membrane • Has own DNA • Similar to chloroplast • Site of CELLULAR RESPIRATION • OXYGEN + GLUCOSE ---- CARBON DIOXIDE + ATP + WATER
Chloroplasts • ONLY in plants • Contains chlorophyll • Site of PHOTOSYNTHESIS
