Cell Structure
& Function
Cell Theory
• All living things are made up of cells.Cells
are building blocks of our body (as bricks
are building blocks of a house).
• Cells are the smallest working units of all
living things.
• All cells come from pre-existing cells
through cell division.
• All living things have 3 common features:
Reproduction,Locomotion n Digestion
Definition of Cell
 A Cell is the structural and
functional unit of all living
organism.
 The cell is the smallest unit that is
capable of performing life
functions as
reproduction,locomotion and
digestion.
DISCOVARY

Two Types of Cells
•Prokaryotic
•Eukaryotic

Prokaryotes
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Types of Cells
• Eukaryots;Cells having true
nucleus(Eu=true,karyo=nucleus
• Prokaryots;comprise bacteria which are
considered by scientists to have evolved
before eukaryotes
(pro=before,karyo=nucleus)
Prokaryotic-Bacteria
• Oldest form of life on earth
• Outermost capsule-cell wall-cell memb.
• Cytoplasm contain free single circular
DNA (nucleoid/plasmid) without
welldefined nucleous for reproduction.
• Ribosomes consist of rRNA n proteins.
• External structures-flagella,pili etc
Prokaryotic Cells
are the most complex form of life.
They have nucleus
Contain organelles surrounded by membranes
They are multicellular organisms (composed of
many cells).
Most living organisms
Examples: animals and plants.
Eukaryotic
Eukaryotic
Plant Animal
Common Characteristics
• All cells are surrounded by a barrier called
the cell membrane
• They contain the molecule that carries
biological information-DNA
Isolation of cell components
• The cellular compt. are obtained by
differential centrifugation of cells,after they
have been gently broken by one of the
following methods;
• Grinding,In Hypotonic soln.,Alternative
freezing thawing,Ultrasonification,Enzymic
treatment.
• The homogenized cells can be
fractionated by differential centrifugation at
various forces of gravity(1000-150,000g
for 10min-3hrs).

CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
“Typical” Animal Cell
Cell Structures
• The Plasma Membrane—A Cell's Protective Coat
• The Cytoskeleton—A Cell's Scaffold
• The Cytoplasm—A Cell's Inner Space
• Genetic Material
Cell Organelles include
• The Nucleus—A Cell's Center
• The Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Golgi Apparatus
Macromolecule Manager
• The Ribosome—The Protein Production Machine
• Mitochondria and Chloroplasts—The Power Generators
• Lysosomes and Peroxisomes—The Cellular Digestive
System
Cytoplasm and Organelles
• Cytoplasm lies between the cell
membrane and nucleus and contains the
organelles.
• Cytosol is a gelatin like aqueous fluid that
contains salts, minerals and organic
molecules
ORGANELLES
Nucleus
Nucleus
• Most prominent structure
• Maintains its shape with a protein skeleton called the
nuclear matrix
• Double membrane – nuclear envelope
• Inside the envelope – chromatin (DNA & protein)
• When the cell is about to divide it forms the
chromosomes-made of DNA.
• Stores heriditary information in its DNA-transfer by
replication.
• RNA is copied from DNA-transcription- forming mRNA
• m-RNA travels from nucleus to the cytosol through small
holes in the envelope – nuclear pores
• Contains the nucleolus – the site where ribosomes are
synthesized
Nucleolus
• Inside nucleus
• Contains RNA to build
proteins
• Site where ribosome
are synthesized
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• System of membranous tubules and sacs
• Intracellular Highway – molecules move from one
part of the cell to another
• 2 types – rough and smooth
• Rough ER-studded with ribosomes –synthesis of
proteins with posttranslational modifications- to be
used by the cell organelles, membrane or secreted
from the cell
• Smooth ER - no ribosomes-has enzymes for:
Synthesis of TAG & Phospholipids in enterocytes
Synthesis of steroids in gland cells
Has cyto.P450 for detoxification in liver
Regulation of calcium in muscle cells
Ribosomes
Ribosomes
• Most numerous
• Not surrounded by a membrane
• Synthesized in nucleolus in the nucleous.
• Made up of proteins and RNA
• RNA is packaged into the ribosomes then transported to
the cytosol
• Some ribosomes are free
• Some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
• Protein is synthesized in the ribosomes
• Proteins to be used in the cytosol – free ribosomes
• Proteins to be exported or inserted in the cell membrane
– ribosomes on the ER
Golgi Apparatus
• System of membranes
• Series of flattened sacs
with convex shape
• Works with the ER to
modify proteins
Processing, packaging
distributing proteins to
lysosomes,secretory
vesicles and pl.memb.
CYTOSKELETON
• .
CYTOSKELETON
• Network of long flexible fibrous protein strands,maintains
the shape and size of cell
• Microtubules – largest strands are hollow cyllindrical
tubes begin in nu n extend to pl memb. made up of
tubulin protein
– Help the cell divide by forming spindle
- Responsible for positioning of organelles
- Participates in the movement of vesicles
• Microfilaments – threads made of actin (protein) –
smallest strands-control the shape of cell n movement of
cell surface to move, divide n engulf.
• Intermediate filaments- are composed of fibrous
protein polymers-provide structural support to memb n
other cellular components.
Mitochondria
They are called the
“POWER HOUSE”
of the cell
Mitochondria
• Sites of chemical reactions that transfer energy from organic
compounds to ATP
• ATP- main energy source for cells
• Size 1-2 µ,1-1000 in number
• Cells with high energy requirements have more mito.
e.g.CNS,muscle,liver
• Have 2 membranes
• Smooth outer membrane serves as a boundary between the
mitochondria and the cytosol
• Inner membrane has many folds called Cristae – they enlarge the
surface area for more chemical reactions
• Have their own DNA n RNA(maternal)
• Mito has 120 proteins(13 encoded by mito.DNA. Mito can replicate.
• Mutations cause muscle n nerve,renal diseases e.g. LHON &
MERRF
LYSOSOMES
LYSOSOMES
• Small spherical organelles of digestion.
• Enclose hydrolytic enzymes, within single
membranes with ATPase to keep ph 5.5
• Digest proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, DNA and
RNA(Endocytosis)
• Eliminating unwanted material- old
organelles,misfold proteins
bacterias,viruses,tissue remodeling after injury
• Destroyed compt. are recycled
• L.Enz Defficiency leads to storage dis, L-cell
disease(T.sachs,Gaucher,Pompaei diseases)
PEROXYSOMES
• Spherical with single emb.,similar to
lysosomes in size,involved in oxidative
reactions using molecular O2,producing
H2O2 degraded by catalase.
• Function in oxidation of long chain FA &
synth of bile acids from cholestrol
• Can replicate by division like mito.
