Cells
• Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert
Hooke
• Early studies of cells were conducted by
– Mathias Schleiden (1838)
– Theodor Schwann (1839)
• Schleiden and Schwann proposed the Cell
Theory
4
Cell Theory
1. All organisms are composed of cells
2. Cells are the smallest living things
3. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells
• All cells today represent a continuous line
of descent from the first living cells
5
Cell size is limited
• Most cells are relatively small due reliance
on diffusion of substances in and out of
cells
• Rate of diffusion affected by
– Surface area available
– Temperature
– Concentration gradient
– Distance

Surface area-to-volume ratio
• Organism made of many small cells has
an advantage over an organism
composed of fewer, larger cells
• As a cell’s size increases, its volume
increases much more rapidly than its
surface area
• Some cells overcome limitation by being
long and skinny – like neurons

Microscopes
• Not many cells are visible to the naked
eye
– Most are less than 50 μm in diameter
• Resolution – minimum distance two points
can be apart and still be distinguished as
two separate points
– Objects must be 100 μm apart for naked eye
to resolve them as two objects rather than
one
2 types
• Light microscopes
– Use magnifying lenses with visible light
– Resolve structures that are 200 nm apart
– Limit to resolution using light
• Electron microscopes
– Use beam of electrons
– Resolve structures that are 0.2 nm apart
9
• Electron microscopes
– Transmission electron
microscopes transmit
electrons through the
material
– Scanning electron
microscopes beam
electrons onto the
specimen surface

Basic structural similarities
1. Nucleoid or nucleus where DNA is located
2. Cytoplasm
– Semifluid matrix of organelles and cytosol
3. Ribosomes
– Synthesize proteins
4. Plasma membrane
– Phospholipid bilayer
12
Prokaryotic Cells
• Simplest organisms
• Lack a membrane-bound nucleus
– DNA is present in the nucleoid
• Cell wall outside of plasma membrane
• Do contain ribosomes (not membrane-
bound organelles)
• Two domains of prokaryotes
– Archaea
– Bacteria

Bacterial cell walls
• Most bacterial cells are encased by a strong cell
wall
– composed of peptidoglycan
– Cell walls of plants, fungi, and most protists different
• Protect the cell, maintain its shape, and prevent
excessive uptake or loss of water
• Susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics often
depends on the structure of their cell walls
• Archaea lack peptidoglycan
14
15
Flagella
• Present in some prokaryotic cells
– May be one or more or none
• Used for locomotion
• Rotary motion propels the cell

Nucleus
• Repository of the genetic information
• Most eukaryotic cells possess a single nucleus
• Nucleolus – region where ribosomal RNA
synthesis takes place
• Nuclear envelope
– 2 phospholipid bilayers
– Nuclear pores – control passage in and out
• In eukaryotes, the DNA is divided into multiple
linear chromosomes
– Chromatin is chromosomes plus protein

Ribosomes
• Cell’s protein synthesis machinery
• Found in all cell types in all 3 domains
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-protein complex
• Protein synthesis also requires messenger
RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA)
• Ribosomes may be free in cytoplasm or
associated with internal membranes
22
23
Endomembrane System
• Series of membranes throughout the
cytoplasm
• Divides cell into compartments where
different cellular functions occur
• One of the fundamental distinctions
between eukaryotes and prokaryotes
24
Endoplasmic reticulum
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
– Attachment of ribosomes to the membrane gives a
rough appearance
– Synthesis of proteins to be secreted, sent to
lysosomes or plasma membrane
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
– Relatively few bound ribosomes
– Variety of functions – synthesis, store Ca2+
,
detoxification
• Ratio of RER to SER depends on cell’s function

Endosymbiosis
• Proposes that some of today’s eukaryotic
organelles evolved by a symbiosis arising
between two cells that were each free-
living
• One cell, a prokaryote, was engulfed by
and became part of another cell, which
was the precursor of modern eukaryotes
• Mitochondria and chloroplasts

Cytoskeleton
• Network of protein fibers found in all
eukaryotic cells
– Supports the shape of the cell
– Keeps organelles in fixed locations
• Dynamic system – constantly forming and
disassembling
41
3 types of fibers
• Microfilaments (actin filaments)
– Two protein chains loosely twined together
– Movements like contraction, crawling, “pinching”
• Microtubules
– Largest of the cytoskeletal elements
– Dimers of α- and β-tubulin subunits
– Facilitate movement of cell and materials within cell
• Intermediate filaments
– Between the size of actin filaments and microtubules
– Very stable – usually not broken down

Centrosomes
• Region surrounding centrioles in almost all
animal cells
• Microtubule-organizing center
– Can nucleate the assembly of microtubules
• Animal cells and most protists have
centrioles – pair of organelles
• Plants and fungi usually lack centrioles

Cell Movement
• Essentially all cell motion is tied to the
movement of actin filaments, microtubules,
or both
• Some cells crawl using actin
microfilaments
• Flagella and cilia have 9 + 2 arrangement
of microtubules
– Not like prokaryotic flagella
– Cilia are shorter and more numerous

Extracellular matrix (ECM)
• Animal cells lack cell walls
• Secrete an elaborate mixture of
glycoproteins into the space around them
• Collagen may be abundant
• Form a protective layer over the cell
surface
• Integrins link ECM to cell’s cytoskeleton
– Influence cell behavior

Cell-to-cell interactions
• Surface proteins give cells identity
– Cells make contact, “read” each other, and
react
– Glycolipids – most tissue-specific cell surface
markers
– MHC proteins – recognition of “self” and
“nonself” cells by the immune system
51
Cell connections
• 3 categories based on function
1.Tight junction
– Connect the plasma membranes of adjacent cells in a
sheet – no leakage
2.Anchoring junction
– Mechanically attaches cytoskeletons of neighboring
cells (desmosomes)
3.Communicating junction
– Chemical or electrical signal passes directly from one
cell to an adjacent one (gap junction,
plasmodesmata)

    Centrosomes • Region surroundingcentrioles in almost all animal cells • Microtubule-organizing center – Can nucleate the assembly of microtubules • Animal cells and most protists have centrioles – pair of organelles • Plants and fungi usually lack centrioles 43

    45 Cell Movement • Essentiallyall cell motion is tied to the movement of actin filaments, microtubules, or both • Some cells crawl using actin microfilaments • Flagella and cilia have 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules – Not like prokaryotic flagella – Cilia are shorter and more numerous

    48 Extracellular matrix (ECM) •Animal cells lack cell walls • Secrete an elaborate mixture of glycoproteins into the space around them • Collagen may be abundant • Form a protective layer over the cell surface • Integrins link ECM to cell’s cytoskeleton – Influence cell behavior

    Cell-to-cell interactions • Surfaceproteins give cells identity – Cells make contact, “read” each other, and react – Glycolipids – most tissue-specific cell surface markers – MHC proteins – recognition of “self” and “nonself” cells by the immune system 51
  • 52.
    Cell connections • 3categories based on function 1.Tight junction – Connect the plasma membranes of adjacent cells in a sheet – no leakage 2.Anchoring junction – Mechanically attaches cytoskeletons of neighboring cells (desmosomes) 3.Communicating junction – Chemical or electrical signal passes directly from one cell to an adjacent one (gap junction, plasmodesmata) 52
