Presentation Transcript

  1. Cells

  2. The Cell Theory • All living things are composed of one or more cells. • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. • New cells are produced from existing cells (reproduction). Unicellular organism undergoing cell division

  3. Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

  4. Prokaryotes (bacteria) vs. Eukaryotes (cheek cells)

  5. Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes What 3 structures can be found in all cells? cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes

  6. Size of life

  7. Prokaryotic Cell (Bacterial Cell)

  8. Eukaryotic Cells – Animal Cell

  9. Eukaryotic Cell – Plant Cell

  10. Eukaryotic Cells – Animal Cell vs. Plant Cell Which structures are unique to animal cells? Plant cells? Animal: Centriole Plant: Large Central Vacuole, Cell Wall, Chloroplast

  11. Eukaryotic Cells – Animal Cell vs. Plant Cell

  12. A Cell is a Factory… • security: __________________ • machines/workers: _________ • shipping: _________________ • manufacturing/packaging: _________________ • waste disposal: ____________ • management: _____________ • power generator: ___________ • product: protein

  13. Cell Membrane • Double layer of lipids (fat) • A barrier that controls what enters and leaves the cell

  14. Ribosome • Appear as tiny, grain-like structures • Can be free in cytoplasm or stuck to ER • Protein synthesizers

  15. Nucleus • Contains DNA and associated proteins (chromosomes) • DNA controls cells activities by directing synthesis of proteins • Dark mass called nucleolus synthesizes ribosomes

  16. Mitochondrion • “Powerhouse” of the cell • Uses oxygen to convert chemical energy (food) to useable energy (ATP). • Which would have more mitochondria – skin cells or muscle cells?

  17. Endoplasmic Reticulum • Rough ER – ribosomes (makes protein) Smooth ER – no ribosomes (makes lipids) • Lipids and proteins synthesized on the ER are packaged in vesicles for transport throughout the cell.

  18. Golgi Apparatus • “Post office” of the cell • Wraps proteins in sacs called vesicles and sends them out of the cell • Cells that do a lot of secreting (like the cells of glands) have many golgi bodies.

  19. Lysosomes • Small vesicles filled with enzymes used to break down cellular wastes • Certain white blood cells that consume pathogenic bacteria and viruses have many lysosomes – why? Lysosome Animation

  20. Vacuoles • Vacuoles found in both plant and animal cells – large central vacuole found in plant cells only • LCV stores water and food in plant cells • When full provides pressure to keep plant upright (plants lack skeletons!)

  21. Cell Walls • Plant cells only (and most fungi and bacteria) • Gives plant cells its fixed shape

  22. Chloroplasts • Plant cells only • Contains green pigment chlorophyll that traps sunlight used to make food during photosynthesis • Which part of the plant contains cells with the most chloroplasts?
