Cells: structure
The document provides information about cells including: 1. It summarizes the cell theory which states that cells are the basic units of life, all living things are made of cells, and new cells come from existing cells. 2. It describes the two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells which lack a nucleus and organelles, and eukaryotic cells which have a nucleus and organelles. 3. It details several organelles found in eukaryotic cells and their functions including the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vacuoles.

- 7. Cell Types • Allliving organisms are made up of cells. – There are two major cell types: PROKARYOTIC Cells – All bacteria and archaebacteria – Lack a nucleus – Lack membrane-bound organelles EUKARYOTIC Cells – Plants, animals, fungi and Protists – Have an enclosed nucleus – Have membrane-bound organelles
- 8. Prokaryotic Cell Bacteria oftenhave a rigid cell wall and capsule around the plasma membrane for extra protection.
- 9. Eukaryotic Cells Plant Cell Animal Cell
- 10. Cell Organelles • Organelle= “little tool” • Organelles found only inside eukaryotic cells • Watery stuff between the organelles is cytosol • Area inside a cell is the cytoplasm – includes the organelles but NOT the nucleus
- 11. Cell Membrane Cell Membrane •Boundary of the cell – a.k.a plasma membrane • Holds cell contents together • Semi-permeable: acts like a filter or screen – some things pass while others cannot
- 12. Cell Membrane • Madeof a phospholipid bilayer Semi-permeable: A few molecules move freely across the membrane (in and out of the cell) • water • carbon dioxide • ammonia • oxygen Other molecules need the help of transport proteins to get across
- 13. Nucleus • Easiest cellstructure to see under a microscope • Contains chromatin – genetic material including DNA, RNA and proteins – form chromosomes • “Control center of the cell”
- 14. Nucleus • Surrounded bya double membrane • Nuclear Pores – holes in membrane allow material to enter and leave the nucleus • Nucleolus is an area of concentrated RNA
- 15. Endoplasmic Reticulum • Abbreviated“ER” • Connected to nuclear membrane • “Highway of the cell” • Smooth ER – makes lipids • hormones, steroids, some vitamins, etc. • Rough ER – studded with ribosomes – makes proteins
- 16.
- 17. Golgi Apparatus • Lookslike a stack of pancakes • Stores, sorts, modifies and packages proteins • Molecules transported to and from the Golgi by means of vesicles
- 18. Lysosomes • "Garbage disposal of the cell" • Contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down food & wastes • Destroy old cell parts as well as invaders • Formed from the Golgi apparatus
- 19. Mitochondria • “Powerhouse ofthe cell” • Cellular respiration occurs here to convert and release energy for the cell to use • Has its own DNA and ribosomes • Folded parts called cristae increase surface area
- 20.
- 21. Vacuoles • Storage containersfor water, food, enzymes, wastes, pigments, etc.
- 22. Vacuoles Animal cells have multiple,smaller vacuoles Plant cells have one large central vacuole
- 23. Cell Wall • Foundin plant and bacterial cells • Rigid, protective barrier composed of cellulose fibers • Located outside the cell membrane
- 24. Chloroplast • Found onlyin plant cells • Contains the green pigment chlorophyll • Site of food (glucose) production known as photosynthesis • Contains own DNA and replicates independently
- 25. The green bubblesare the chloroplasts filled with Chlorophyll

- 28. Cytoskeleton • Microfilaments and microtubules provide a scaffolding on which organelles can anchor or move themselves – contracting muscles cells – dividing cells pinch in half – waving cilia and rotating flagella
- 29. Cilia & Flagella •Hair or tail-like structures that provide motility (movement) • Formed from microtubules that arrange themselves into centrioles • Generally occur only in animal and bacteria cells
- 31. Peroxisomes • Small sacksenclosed in a single membrane • Contains enzymes that break down fatty acids & toxic peroxides (found in alcohol, formaldehyde, and other poisons) • Found mostly in kidney and liver cells • Formed from budding off the ER
- 32.
- 33. Quick Review • Which organelle is the "control center" of the cell? nucleus (containing DNA, the blueprints) • Which organelle holds the cell together? plasma membrane (made of a phospholipid bilayer) • Which organelles are NOT found in animal cells? cell wall (and capsule), chloroplasts, large/central vacuole • Which organelle helps plant cells make food? chloroplasts (via photosynthesis, using chlorophyll) • What does E.R. stand for? endoplasmic reticulum
- 34. This cell hasno clear nucleus, but it does have a CELL WALL. Is it prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Careers in LaboratoryScience • Researcher – PhD or MD/PhD – Design experiments, publish conclusions – Apply for grants, hire staff • Research Assistant – Manages experiments – Assists with data collection, data entry, and statistical analysis • Medical Lab Tech – Run lab tests and reports data • research or medical treatment • Forensic science • genetic counseling • Pharmaceutical Production & Sales – Requires business skills & knowledge of chemistry and human physiology
Editor's Notes
- #3 Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist in the mid-1600s, was the first to record looking at water under a microscope. He found that water was full of living things.
- #4 Italian physician Redi disproved spontaneous generation. Others observed maggots crawling out of meat and assumed the dead cow meat gave rise to baby flies. By performing this experiment, Redi disproved that theory and sought another explanation: that flies lay eggs on the meat, which only provides the food maggots need to survive. The source of the baby fly larvae is, therefore, not the dead meat, but the living fly parents. Experiment 1: Meat was placed in an unsealed jar. Observation: Flies laid eggs on the meat and maggots emerged. Experiment 2: Meat was placed in a sealed jar. Observation: Flies could not enter the sealed jar and therefore, maggots did not form on the raw meat. Experiment 3: Meat was placed in a jar covered with gauze. Observation: The gauze prevented flies from entering the jar, and therefore, maggots did not form on the raw meat. Conclusion: Maggots arise from the eggs laid by flies, not by spontaneous generation. This supported the theory of biogenesis, which states that "all life arises from other life."
