  1. Cell Structure & Function http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html

  2. Cell Theory • All organisms are made of one or more cells. • Cells are the basic unit of life in all living things. • All cells come from existing cells.

  3. Definition of Cell A membrane - covered structure that contains all of the materials necessary for life. A cell is the basic unit of life.

  4. Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Bacteria Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell

  5. Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic- primitive, disorganized without nucleus. Eukaryotic- organized, complicated with nucleus.

  6. Prokaryotic • Do not have structures surrounded by membranes • Few internal structures • One-celled organisms, like Bacteria • Fossils of Prokaryotes have been found and estimated to be 3.5 billion years old http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html

  7. Eukaryotic • Contain organelles surrounded by membranes • Most living organisms (plants, animals, fungi and protists) • Fossil evidence suggests Eukaryotes to be 2 billion years old. • More DNA and can be 10 times larger than Prokaryotic cells. Animal Plant http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html

  8. “Typical” Animal Cell Cytoplasm Chromosomes http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/images/cell.gif

  9. “Typical” Plant Cell http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/plant3.gif

  10. Cell Parts Organelles

  11. Cell Wall • Found only in plant cells, fungi cells & bacteria. • Supports & protects plant, bacteria and some fungi cells • Made of cellulose • The strength of billions of cell walls in plants enable a tree to stand tall. • It is made of cellulose fibers http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  12. Cell Membrane • A phospholipids double layer that controls what goes in and out of the cell. (see p. 45 for details green book). • All cells have a cell membrane. • Allows nutrients in and wastes out of the cell. • The cell membrane keeps the cytoplasm inside, allow nutrients in and waste products out, and interact with things outside the cell. • The cell membrane is made of phospholipids (fats) that allow movement of very small particles. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  13. Nucleus • A membrane bound structure found only in Eukaryotic cells and is the control center or brain of the cell. • The word nucleus means “kernal”. • It is the control center of the cell, stores the DNA, and has information for making proteins. • The Nucleolus stores materials that will be used later to make ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

  14. Chromosomes • A coiled structure found in the nucleus that contains instructions. • DNA is packed into chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each normal body cell. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  15. Vacuoles • Membrane-bound sacs for storage of food and water. • Some plants wilt when their cells vacuoles lose water. • If you want crispy lettuce you need to let the vacuoles fill up by leaving the lettuce in water overnight. • Plants have 1 large vacuole that helps give support. • Animals have many smaller vacuoles. • Liquids in vacuoles are what make oranges and other fruits juicy. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  16. Endoplasmic Reticulum • A membrane bound structure that transports things around the cell. And, Smooth ER makes fats and breaks down drugs and chemicals that could damage the cell. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  17. Lysosome • These are special vesicles in animal cells that breaks down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and cleans and digest unwanted material in the cell. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  18. Golgi Bodies • A membrane bound structure that modifies and packages protein for shipment out of the cell. • It is usually close to the cell membrane. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  19. Mitochondria Energy in fats and carbohydrates • Make food molecules (ATP) by burning food for energy. • You need to breath in O2 air so your mitochondria can work. • More active cells like those in the liver and heart have more mitochondria.

  20. Cytoplasm • Gel-like mixture that fills in all the empty space and surrounds organelles.

  21. Ribosomes • Each cell contains thousands • Make proteins • Found on ribosomes & floating throughout the cell • Ribosomes are the smallest and most abundant organelle in the cell. http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  22. Nuclear Membrane • Surrounds nucleus • Made of two layers • Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus (RNA) http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  23. Nucleolus • Inside nucleus • Contains RNA to build proteins http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  24. Chloroplast • Usually found in plant cells • Contains green chlorophyll • Where photosynthesis takes place http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
