INTROUCTION
 On the basis of presence or absence of nucleus
the cell are classified into two main types:
i) Prokaryotic cell
ii) Eukaryotic cell
3
 Prokaryotic cell:-
( pro= before, karyon = nucleus)
 “Prokaryotic cells are the cells that do not have a
true nucleus and membrne-bound organelles.”
 E.g. Bacterial cell, PPLO etc..
 Eukaryotic cell:-
( Eu= true , karyon= nucleus )
 “Eukaryotic cells are the cells that contain
membrane-bound nucleus and organelles.”
 E.g. Protists, fungi, plants and animal cells
4
PROKARYOTIC CELL
 Prokaryotic cells are single-celled (unicellular)
microorganisms known to be earliest on earth.
 Oldest type of prokaryotic cell appeared
approximately 3.5 billion years ago.
 Prokaryotic cell are simplest type of cell.
 Prokaryotes are the largest group of organisms.
 They are found in all environments.
 Prokaryotes includes Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
(Halophiles, Thermophiles, Methanogens).
 Photosynthetic prokaryotes includes Cyanobacteria
that perform photosynthesis.
5
Characteristics of prokaryotic cells
:
 Prokaryotic cell lack nuclear membrane, nucleolus,
due to which DNA and RNA remain dispersed
throughout the cytoplasm.
 Mitochondria, Golgi body, Chloroplasts, Endoplasmic
reticulum and Lysosomes are absent.
 The genetic material is present on a single
chromosome.
 The cell wall is made up of carbohydrate
(polysaccharide) and amino acids.
 Ribosomes are 70S type (subunits 50S + 30S type)
 Nucleus is known as nucleoid
6
 Prokaryotes are smaller in size when compared to
eukaryotic cells.
 Infoldings of plasma membrane inside the cytoplasm
is found which is known as mesosome and perform
the function of mitochondria.
 They divide asexually by binary fission.
7
Prokaryotic cell: structure and their
functions

whereas in others it may be thick and tough called
capsule.
 Functions :- It helps in moisture retention, protects
the cell when engulfed (phagocytosis) and help in
the attachment of cells to nutrients and surfaces.
8
2) Cell wall :- Bacterial cell wall is rigid and strong
structure.
 Functions :- Cell wall determines the shape of the
cell and provide a strong structural support to
prevent the bacterium from bursting or collapsing.
3) Cell membrane :- This layer is semi-permeable in
nature and surrounds the cytoplasm .
 This membrane is similar structurally to that of the
Eukaryotes.
 Functions:- It interacts with outside world and
regulate the entry and exit of substances in the cell.
9
4) MESOSOME:- It is formed by extension of plasma
membrane into the cytoplasm.
 Mesosomes are analogus to mitochondria.
 Function:- It helps in cellular respiration.
5) CYTOPLASM:- It is a jelly like substance present
inside the cell membrane.
 All the organelles are suspended in cytoplasm.
6) PILI:- These are hair-like outgrowths that help the
bacterium to attach to the surface of other bacteria.
10
7) FIMBRIAE:- are small bristle like fibres sprouting out
of the cell.
 Function :- Help to attach the bacteria to the rocks in
streams and also to the host tissues.
8) FLAGELLA:- are long filamentous appendages
consisting of a hook, filament and basal body.
 Function :- Helps in locomotion
9) RIBOSOMES :- 70S ribosomes (two subunits 50S &
30S) are present in prokaryotic cell.
 Function :- Involve in protein synthesis.
11
10) NUCLEOID :- It is the region in the cytoplasm where the
genetic material is present.
11) DNA :- is the genetic material of the cell.
 Function :- It directs what protein should the cell create
and regulates the action of cell.
12) PLASMID:- are self replicating , circular, extra
chromosomal DNA structures.
 Plasmids are not involve in reproduction.
13) INCLUSION BODIES:- Reserve materials in prokaryotic
cells are stored in the form of inclusion bodies
e.g. phosphate granules, glycogen granules etc..

EUKARYOTIC CELLS
 Eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes and developed
into larger and more complex organisms.
 Eukaryotic cells appeared approximately one billion
years ago.
 Eukaryotes include some unicellular protists to
multicellular fungi, plants and animals.
 These have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear
membrane.
 Eukaryotic cells are generally more advance than
prokaryotic cell.
14

completely lacking in animal cells.
 Cells contain a cytoskeletal structure.
 Eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis.
16
EUKARYOTIC CELL :- STRUCTURES
AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
Plasma membrane/cell membrane
 Plasma membrane is a thin, elastic, transparent semi-
permeable membrane, found in all cells.
 Functions :- Transport of water, molecules and ions.
 It acts as a protective layer around the protoplasm of the
cell
17
Cell wall
 Cell wall is the outermost rigid structure present outside the
plant and fungal cells.
 It is absent in animal cells.
 Function:- It provide definite shape to a cell and helps in
cell-to-cell interaction.
 It acts as a protective layer that protects the cell from any
injury or pathogen attack.
18
Cytoskeleton
 In eukaryotic cell microfilaments and microtubules together
constitute cytoskeleton which provide perfect shape to cell and
also give mechanical support to the cell.
 Function:- Helps in cyclosis of protoplasm.
 Involved in movement of cell.
19
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Endoplasmic reticulum is a complex network of tubular membranes
exclusively present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell.
 Endoplasmic reticulum is of two types:-

EUKARYOTIC CELLS  Eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes and developed into larger and more complex organisms.  Eukaryotic cells appeared approximately one billion years ago.  Eukaryotes include some unicellular protists to multicellular fungi, plants and animals.  These have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane.  Eukaryotic cells are generally more advance than prokaryotic cell. 14
  • 15. CHARACTERISTICS OF EUKARYOTIC CELL :-  Eukaryotic cells have complex internal structure.  They have the nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane and nucleolus is also present in the nucleus.  All the cell organelles (mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, golgi body, vacuoles etc..)are present in the cytoplasm.  Flagella and cilia are the locomotory organs in a eukaryotic cell.  Ribosomes are of 80S type (subunits 60S + 40S type) 15
  • 16.  Cell wall made up of cellulose is present in plant cells but completely lacking in animal cells.  Cells contain a cytoskeletal structure.  Eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis. 16
  • 17. EUKARYOTIC CELL :- STRUCTURES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Plasma membrane/cell membrane  Plasma membrane is a thin, elastic, transparent semi- permeable membrane, found in all cells.  Functions :- Transport of water, molecules and ions.  It acts as a protective layer around the protoplasm of the cell 17
  • 18. Cell wall  Cell wall is the outermost rigid structure present outside the plant and fungal cells.  It is absent in animal cells.  Function:- It provide definite shape to a cell and helps in cell-to-cell interaction.  It acts as a protective layer that protects the cell from any injury or pathogen attack. 18
  • 19. Cytoskeleton  In eukaryotic cell microfilaments and microtubules together constitute cytoskeleton which provide perfect shape to cell and also give mechanical support to the cell.  Function:- Helps in cyclosis of protoplasm.  Involved in movement of cell. 19
  • 20. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM Endoplasmic reticulum is a complex network of tubular membranes exclusively present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell.  Endoplasmic reticulum is of two types:- (i) Rough endoplasmic reticulum:- contains ribosomes (ii) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum:- lacks ribosomes  Functions:- Provide more surface for metabolism, helps in the transport and intracellular circulation.  Also helps in protein synthesis. 20
  • 21. Nucleus  Nucleus is a double membrane bound organelle which directs and control all the cellular functions and also contain genetic material.  Nucleus consists of :- (i) Nuclear membrane (ii) Nucleoplasm (iii) Chromosomes (iv) Nucleolus 21
  • 22. Golgi apparatus  Golgi body is made up of flat disc-shaped structure called cisternae and are arranged parallel and concentrically near the nucleus.  Functions:- Important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.  It is mainly involved in modifying, sorting and packaging of cell products into secretory vesicles. . 22
  • 23. RIBOSOMES  Ribosomes are tiny granules composed of mRNA and protein.  Function:- Main site for protein synthesis 23
  • 24. Lysosome  Lysosomes are vesicular bodies filled with hydrolytic enzymes and are involved in digestion of protein, lipid, carbohydrate and nucleic acid.  They are also called as “Suicidal bags”.  Functions:- Dead cells inside the body are removed by lysosomes. 24
  • 25. Cytoplasm  Cytoplasm consists of jelly-like homogenous ground substance.  It contains cell organelles and inorganic material. 25
  • 26. MITOCHONDRIA  Mitochondria is a double membrane bound organelle.  It is also known as “ power house of the cell” because they produce energy.  Functions:- Principle organ for the cellular respiration. .  Produce cellular energy in the form of ATP. 26
  • 27. PLASTIDS  Plastids are the double membrane bound organelle and are only found in plants.  Based on the type of pigments, plastids are of three types:- (i) Chloroplast :- Greenish colour plastids containing chlorophyll. (ii) Chromoplast:- contains a pigment called carotene that provides plants yellow , red or orange colour. (iii) Leucoplast:- are colourless and store lipids, carbohydrate or protein. 27
  • 28. Cilia and Flagella  Cilia and Flagella :- Hair-like projections covered with plasma membrane with core of axoneme (9+2 array).  Function:- Cilia and flagella helps in locomotion. 28
  • 29.  Centrioles are paired barrel -shaped cell organelle found in alI animal cells but absent in plant cells.  Function:- They are involved in development of spindle fibres.  Regulate cell division of cells.  They also form basal body of cilia and flagella. CENTRIOLE 29
  • 30. Vacuoles  Vacuoles are non-living membrane bound structures of cytoplasm present in all eukaryotic cells.  Functions:- Helps in the function of osmoregulation.  Also helps in phagocytosis and pinocytosis. 30
  • 31. Microbodies  Many membrane bound minute vesicles called microbodies that contain various enzymes are present in both plants and animal cells. 31
