2. Overview of the Cell
Consist of:
• Plasma (Cell) Membrane
• Cytoplasm
Plasma Membrane
• Outer boundary of the cell
• Cannot see on microscope
• Composed of phospholipid
bi-layer
Cytoplasm
• Inside the plasma
membrane
• Contains cytosol,
cytoskeleton, organelles,
and other cellular
structures

4. Identify
structures
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
Converts energy into ATP
Ribosomes
Smallest of all organelles
Produces proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Produces proteins for outside cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Produces lipid compounds
5. Identify
structures
cont…
Golgi complex
Post office of the cell
Receives material from the endoplasmic reticulum and
other parts of the cytoplasm
Assembles large molecules and transports the
material out of the cell via secretory vesicles
Lysosomes
Peroxisomes
Lysosomes
Phagocytosis
Digest material with hydrolytic enzymes
Peroxisomes
Uses enzymes to convert hydrogen peroxide to water
and oxygen
6. Nucleus
Two major functions:
Houses genetic information of the cell
Control the various task of the cell
Nuclear envelope
Surrounds the nucleus
Contains two lipid bi-layers
Inner and outer nuclear membrane
Many nuclear pores
Allow movement of material
Keeps the contents of the nucleus separate from the
cytoplasm of the cell
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes
Protein-producing organelles in the cytoplasm of
the cell
7. Other Cellular Components
Cytoskeleton
-Network of small
filaments and tubules
-Microtubules,
microfilaments and
intermediate filaments
Microvilli
-Small extensions of the
plasma membrane
-Increase surface area of
the cell
-Digestive and Urinary
system
Cilia (short) and
Flagella (long)
-Extend from the edges
of the cell
-Consist of bundles of
microtubules
-Covered by the plasma
membrane
-Aids in movement
8. The Cell Cycle
Divided into three events:
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
The cell spends most of the time in interphase
9. Interphase
G(ap)1 phase
Cell growth
Producing organelles
S(ynthesis)phase
Duplication of DNA
G(ap)2 phase
Preparation for mitosis
Continues to grow
12. Prophase
First phase of Mitosis
Occurs after interphase
Chromatin condenses to form
chromosomes
Nuclear membrane disappears
The nucleolus disappears
13. Metaphase
Second phase of Mitosis
Chromosomes are line up in the center
of the cell
Metaphase plate
Ready to divide
14. Anaphase
Third phase of Mitosis
Chromosomes split
Daughter chromosomes migrate
to poles
Each chromosome is pulled
towards opposite ends
Elongates the cell
Nuclear membrane is reformed
Chromosomes unwind to
chomatin
15. Telophase
Fourth phase of Mitosis
Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondenese
Nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes
16. Cytokinesis
The splitting of the cell’s cytoplasm
into two parts
Separate process
Begins during late anaphase or early
telophase
Splits into two daughter cells
Nucleolus reappears
