What is a cell?
Cells are the basic building blocks of
all living things.
• They provide structure for the
body, take in nutrients from food,
convert those nutrients into
energy, and carry out specialized
functions.
• Cells also contain the body’s
hereditary material and can make
copies of themselves.

Describe the characteristics of cell
Explain the basic structure and
function of cell
The Cellular
Level of
Organization
• The cell marks the boundary between the
nonliving and the living.
• It is the structural and functional unit of an
organism.
• It is the smallest structure capable of
performing all the functions necessary for
life.
The Fundamental Units of Life
• All organisms are made of cells
• The cell is the simplest collection of matter
that can be alive
• All cells are related by their descent from
earlier cells
• Though cells can differ substantially from one
another, they share common features

Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells
• Most cells are between 1 and 100 m in diameter, too small to be seen by the

CELL SIZE AND PARTS
Biologists use microscopes to study cells
Light and electron microscopes reveal different details. These photos show four types of
microscopes, along with images of samples of Paramecium (protists).
(a) Compound light microscopes. (b) Confocal microscope. (c) TEM and (d) SEM.
Plasma Membrane and Cytoplasm
• All cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane.
• It forms a boundary that separates the contents of the cell from the
surrounding environment.
• It regulates the entrance and exit of molecules into and out of the cytoplasm.
• The semifluid medium inside of a cell is the cytoplasm.
• It is composed of water, salts, and dissolved organic molecules

The eukaryotic cell’s genetic instructions are housed in the
nucleus and carried out by the ribosomes
• The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a
eukaryotic cell
• Ribosomes use the information from the DNA to make proteins
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Nucleus
The nucleus is a prominent structure with a diameter of ~5μm.
 Stores genetic material, DNA
• Every cell in an individual contains the same DNA.
• DNA governs the characteristics and metabolism of a cell.
 Contains chromatin
• Consists of DNA and associated proteins
• Undergoes coiling and condenses into chromosomes

Ribosomes
• Site of protein synthesis
• Use messenger RNA (mRNA) as
template
• Composed of two subunits (large
and small)
• Subunits consist of rRNA and protein
molecules
• Where found
• In groups of polyribosomes, several
ribosomes associated with a single
mRNA
• attached to endoplasmic reticulum
• free in cytoplasm

Energy-Related Organelles
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are organelles
that specialize in converting energy into useable
forms for cells.
• Chloroplasts use solar energy to synthesize
carbohydrates.
• Mitochondria use the breakdown of
carbohydrates to produce ATP.
Chloroplasts
• Site of photosynthesis in plants and algae
• Structure:
• Double membrane
• Make most of their own proteins
• Stroma – fluid-filled space bounded by
double membranes
• Contains single circular DNA
molecule and ribosomes

• Chlorophyll located in thylakoid
membranes

• Site of cellular respiration
• Structure
• Bounded by double membrane
• Matrix—the inner fluid-filled space
• Cristae—formed by invaginations of the inner
membrane

fibers extending throughout the
cytoplasm

and activities, anchoring many
organelles

Roles of the Cytoskeleton: Support
and Motility
• The cytoskeleton helps to
support the cell and maintain its
shape
• It interacts with motor proteins
to produce motility
• Inside the cell, vesicles and
other organelles can “walk”
along the tracks provided by the
cytoskeleton

Eukaryotic cell structures
can be grouped on the
basis of four main
functions
Recent research shows that both prokaryotes
and eukaryotes use ion- and redox-based
electrochemical signals for communication.
Such communication enables the organization of
growth and developmental processes across
multiple length scales.
Bioelectrical view of cells  analogy between a battery
(a) and a biological cell (b). Both systems rely on ion
flows and redox reactions across interfaces.
