1. Cell
Basic unit for living beings
Bounded by a plasma membrane. Also presents cytoplasm.
In eukaryotic cells one or two nucleous can be found
In most of the plants, mushrooms and bacteria there is a
cell wall outside of the plasma membrane
Cell Theory states the cell as the basic structural and
fuctional unit of all living organisms, and also for origin
2. Cell

3. Cell
So many shapes and sizes
•Average Cell: between 5 to 50 micrometers
•Smallest bacterias are about 0.2 micrometers
•The giant Amoeba Chaos chaos: up to 1000
micrometers. (it looks like a tiny drop)

28. membranous organelles
Mitochondrion
Made of two membrane
the inner is highly folded
(folds and ridges)
Outer Membrane
Performs the cellular
respiration (Extract energy
from the Food)
Inner
Membrane
Mitochondrion ridges

29. membranous organelles
Group of membranes
forming channels and ducts Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis (in the ribosomes) connects
the cell for inner transport of materials
Back
38. Nucleus
Membranous Organelles
Membrane with pores,
called nuclear envelope,
contains chromatin (DNA
free chains) and the
Nucleolus
Control center for the
Cell. Contains coded
directions for protein
synthesis and cell
division
Nuclear pores

46. Non- Membranous Organelles
Small bodies made of protein and RNAr,
arranged in two subunits
Subunit
p
Subunit
s
In the ribosomes
takes place the
synthesis or
construction of
proteins
Back
47. Non-Membranous Organelles
Thick, rigid, mesh of fibers that
sorrounds the outside of the
plasma membrane, protectinc the
cell and givin it support.
Cell wall is made of a carbohydrate
polymer called cellulose.
Back
48. Membranous Organelles
A double-membrane organelle. The inner membrane forms
many small disk-shaped compartments called thylakoids,
containig chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
52. Non-Membranous Organelles
Cytoskeleton
A framework fir the cell within
the cytoplasm
Long hollow microtubes
of protein and protein
strands
They operate as "Rails" in
the transport vesicles
gives a definite but elastic
form the cell
