Introduction
Cell :-
 The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional,
and biological unit of all known organisms.
 A cell is the smallest unit of life.
 Cells are often called the "building blocks of life".
 The study of cells is called cell biology, cellular biology, or cytology.
 Self replicating structure.
 First cell were observed and named by Robert Hooke in 1665 from slice of cork.
 Some organisms consists of a unicellular organism,other are multicellular.
 Diameter:- 2-120um.
 There are two type of cell :- prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cells.
 A prokaryotic cell is a type of cell that does not have a true nucleus or membrane-
bound organelles. Organisms within the domains Bacteria and Archaea are based on
the prokaryotic cell, while all other forms of life are eukaryotic.
Difference Between Prokaryotic and
Eukaryotic Cells
Constituents
 Different substances that make a cell are Collectively called protoplasm.
 Protoplasm composed by:-
 Water – 70-80% water is present in cell
 Carbohydrates
 Lipids
 Proteins
 Electrolytes :- Sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) , magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (
Ca2+), phosphate, chloride (Cl-), and Bicarbonate ( HCO3-)
Major Structure Present in a Cell are :-
 Cell Wall ( absent in animal cell)
 Cell Membrane
 Cytoplasm and it’s organelles
 Nucleus
Difference between plant cell and animal cell
Animal cell
Structure and function of cell organelles
 Cell Wall:-
 Structure :-
 Non-living and outermost covering of a cell( plants and
bacteria)
 Can be tough,rigid and sometimes flexible
 Made up of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin
 May be thin or thick, multilayered structure
 Thickness varies from 50-1000 Å
 Function:-
 Provides definite shape , strength and rigidity
 Prevents drying up ( desiccation) of cells
 Helps in controlling cell expansion
 Protects cell from external pathogens
Cell Membrane
 Structure:-
 Also called as semipermeable membrane or plasma
membrane
 Extremely delicate, thin, elastic, living and semipermeable
membrane
 Made up of two layers of lipid molecules in which protein
molecules are floating
 Thickness varies from 75-110 Å
 Can be observed under an electron microscope only
 Function:-
 Maintain shape and size of the cell
 Protects internal contents of the cell
 Regulates entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell
 Maintain homeostasis
Nucleus
Structure:-  Dense spherical body located near the centre of the cell
 Diameter varies from 10-25um
 Present in all the cells except red blood cells and sieve tube cells
 Well developed in plant and animal cell
 Undeveloped in bacteria and blue green algae (cyanobacteria)
 Most of the cells are uninucleated ( having only one nucleus)
 Few types of cells have more than one nucleus (skeletal muscle cells)
 Nucleus has a double layered covering called nuclear mmberane
 Nuclear membrane has pores of diameter about 80-100nm
 Colourless dense sap present inside the nucleus known as nucleoplasm
 Nucleoplasm contains round shaped nucleoid and network of chromatin fibres
 Fibres are composed of DNA and protein histone
 These fibres condensed to form chromosomes during cell division
 Chromosomes contain stretches of DNA called as genes
 Genes transfer the hereditary information from one generation to the next
Function:-
 Control all the cell activities like metabolism, protein synthesis, growth and cell
division
 Nucleolus synthesized RNA to constitute ribosomes
 Store hereditary information in genes
Cytoplasm
Structure:-
 It is the fluid content present inside the plasma membrane
 It contains specialized cell organelles
 Jelly like material formed by 80% of water
 Present between the plasma membrane and nucleus
 Contains a clear liquid protein called cytosol and various particles
 Particles are proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids and inorganic ions
 Also contains many organelles with distinct structure and function
 Some of these organelles are visible only under an electron microscope
 Granular and dense in animal cell and thin in plant cell
 Function :-
 It acts as the store of important chemicals
 It is a physical basis of all metabolic activities
 It keeps the cell fully expanded and provide turgidity
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Structure:-
 Network of tubular and vesicular structures which are interconnected with one another
 Some parts are connected to the nuclear membrane while another are connected to the
cell membrane
 Two types :- 1. smooth endoplasmic reticulum( lack of ribosomes),2. Rough
endoplasmic reticulum (studded with ribosomes)
 Function:-
 Gives internal support to the cytoplasm
 RER synthesize secretory protein and membrane proteins
 SER synthesize lipids for cell membrane
 In liver cells SER detoxify drugs and poison
 In muscle cells SER store calcium ions
Ribosomes
Structure:-
 Ribosomes are dense spherical granular
particles which move freely in the
matrix
 They are present in cytoplasm as well as
inside the nucleus
 A ribosomes is made numerous proteins
and RNA
 Function:-
 They play important role in protein
synthesis
 It helps in storage modification and
packaging of products in vesicles
 It is involved in synthesis of lysosomes
Golgi Body ( Golgi Complex )
Structure:-
 Discovered by Camillo Golgi
 Formed by stacks of 5-8 membranous sacs
 Sacs are usually flattened and are called
Cisternae
 Has two ends :- Cis face situated near the
endoplasmic reticulum and Trans face
situated near the cell membrane
 Function :-
 Modifies , sorts and packs material
synthesized in the cell
 Delivers synthesized material to various
targets inside the cell and outside the cell
 Produce vacuoles and secretory vesicles
 Forms plasma membrane and lysosomes
Lysosomes
Structure :-
 Small , spherical, single membrane sac
 Found throughout the cytoplasm
 Filled with hydrolytic enzymes
 Occur in most animal cells and in few types of
plant cells
 Function :-
 Help in digesting of large molecules
 Protect cell by destroying foreign invader like
bacteria and viruses
 Degradation of worn out organelles
 In dead cells perform autolysis
Vacuoles
Structure :-
 Single membrane sac filled with liquid or sap (
water , sugar and ions )
 In animal cells , vacuoles are temporary, small in
size and few in number
 In plant cells , vacuoles are large and more in
number
 May be contractile on non – contractile
 Function :-
 Store various sub including waste products
 Maintain osmotic pressure of the cell
 Store food particles in amoeba cells
 Provide turgidity and rigidity to plant cells
Mitochondria ( power house of cell )
Structure :-
 Small , rod shaped organelles bounded by two membrane – inner and
outer
 Outer membrane is smooth and encloses the contents of mitochondria
 Inner membrane is folded in the form of shelf like inward projection
called Christae
 Inner cavity is filled with matrix which contains many enzymes
 Contain their own DNA which are responsible for many enzymatic
actions
 Function :-
 Synthesize energy rich compound ATP
 ATP molecules provides energy for the vital activities of living cells
Plastids
 Plastids consists of numerous membrane layers
embedded in a material called the strome
 Plastids are of three types :- Chromoplast ,
Leucoplast , Chloroplast
 Chromoplast :- They are coloured plastids except
green . They are present in flowers to attract insects for
pollination .
 Leucoplast:- They are colourless or white plastids .
They store starch , oils and protein granules.
 Chloroplast :- They are green Coloured plastids
which are important for photosynthesis for plants .
They contain green colour pigments chlorophyll. They
are known as kitchen of cells .
 Function :-
 They manufacture food through Photosynthesis
 They provide colours to fruits and flowers to attract
insects for pollination
 It store starch , oil and protein granules
Centrosome
Structure :-
 Centrosome is the membrane bound organelles present near the nucleus
 Consists of two structure called as centrioles
 Centrioles are hollow , cylindrical structure made of microtubules
 Centrioles are arranged at right angles to each other
 Function :-
 Form spindle fibres which help in the movement of chromosomes during cell division
 Help in the formation of cillia and flagella
Cytoskeleton
Structure :-
 Formed by microtubules and microfilaments
 Microtubules are hollow tubules made up of
protein called tubulin
 Microfilaments are rod shaped thin filaments
made up of protein called actin
 Function :-
 Determine the shape of the cell
 Give structural strength to the cell
 Responsible for cellular movements
