  1. Chapter 2 Cells: The Basic Units of Life

  2. Section 1: Objectives • State the parts of the Cell Theory. • Explain why cells are so small. • Describe the parts of a cell. • Describe how Eubacteria are different from Archaebacteria. • Explain the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

  3. The Diversity of Cells • All living things are made up of cells. • Cell: smallest unit that can perform all life processes • Because of their size, cells weren’t discovered until the mid-1600s.

  4. The Diversity of Cells • Robert Hooke was the first person to discover cells. • He examined cork (from the bark of trees). • The cork looked like it was made of little boxes (cells).

  5. In 1863, Anton van Leeuwenhoek made his own microscopes. He examined organisms in pond water. “Animalcules” = little animals The Diversity of Cells

  6. Today we call these protists. He also examined animal blood. Leeuwenhook was the first person to examine bacteria. The Diversity of Cells

  7. The Diversity of Cells • Almost 200 years passed before scientists concluded that cells are present in living things. • As years passed many more scientists contributed to the examination of cells. • 2 of these scientists were Schleiden and Schwann. • Schleiden studied plants and Schwann studied animals. • They concluded that plants and animals were made of cells.

  8. The Diversity of Cells • The Cell Theory: • Schwann wrote the first 2 parts: • All organisms are made up of one or more cells • The cell is the basic unit of all living things • Virchow wrote the third part: • All cells come from existing cells

  9. The Diversity of Cells • All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. • Cell membrane: protective layer that covers the cell’s surface and acts as a barrier (separates cell from environment) • The cytoplasm is the fluid inside the cell and all of its contents.

  10. The Diversity of Cells • Organelles are structures that perform specific functions within the cell • Different types of cells have different organelles. • Most organelles are surrounded by membranes.

  11. All cells contain DNA. DNA is the genetic material that carries information needed to make new cells and new organisms. The Diversity of Cells

  12. In most cells, the DNA is located in the nucleus. Bacterial cells do not have a nucleus. Does this mean bacterial cells do not have DNA? The Diversity of Cells

  13. The Diversity of Cells • There are 2 kinds of cells: • Prokaryotic: single cell with no nucleus • Eukaryotic: more than one cell with a nucleus

  14. The Diversity of Cells • Prokaryotes: Single-celled organisms with no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles • Example: Bacteria • Prokaryotes include: • Eubacteria • Archaebacteria

  15. The Diversity of Cells • Eubacteria: • Most common prokaryotes (bacteria) • Bacteria are the world’s smallest cells. • Do not have a nucleus, but do have DNA (long, circular molecule) • Have no membrane-bound organelles. • Do have ribosomes (round organelles made of protein)

  16. Eubacteria: Bacteria have a strong, web-like exterior cell wall. Has a cell wall and a cell membrane. Bacteria live in: Soil Water In/on organisms The Diversity of Cells

  17. The Diversity of Cells • Archaebacteria: • “Ancient bacteria” • Not as common as Eubacteria but similar. • Has DNA, cell wall, cell membrane, and ribosomes. • Its ribosomes are different than the ribosomes of Eubacteria.

  18. The Diversity of Cells • Archaebacteria: • There are 3 types: • Thermophiles: heat-loving • Halophiles: salt-loving • Methanogens: Methane-makers • Extremophiles: live in places where conditions are extreme

  19. The Diversity of Cells • Eukaryotes: • The largest cells (10 X larger than bacterial cells) • Have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. • Nucleus contains DNA. • Multicellular (more than 1 cell) • Examples: Humans, animals, plants

  21. Chapter 2 Sec. 1 Recap • 6) Describe some key differences between Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. • 7) What are most cells surrounded by? • 8) Explain the difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. • 9) T/F Not all cells contain DNA. • 10) List 2 examples of prokaryotes.

  22. Section 2: Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • Objectives: • Identify the different parts of a eukaryotic cell • Explain the function of each part of a eukaryotic cell

  23. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 1. Cell wall: rigid structure that gives support to a cell • Plants and algae have a cell wall made of cellulose: complex sugar • Fungi also have cell walls made of chitin: chemical in fungi

  24. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 2. Cell Membrane • All cells have a cell membrane. • Protective barrier that encloses the cell • Outermost structure for cells with no cell wall. • Contains lipids (fats), proteins, and phospholipids. • What is the unique quality of lipids?

  25. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 3. Cytoskeleton: • Web of proteins in the cytoplasm. • Acts as a muscle and a skeleton. • Keeps cell membrane from collapsing. • Also helps cells move. • “Backbone of the cell”

  26. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 4. Nucleus: • Large organelle that contains DNA. • DNA contains information for how to make proteins. • Proteins control the chemical reactions in a cell and provide structural support.

  27. 5. Nucleolus:dark area inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made The nucleus also has a double membrane. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles

  28. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 5. Ribosomes: • Organelles that make proteins • Smallest of the organelles. • Most abundant organelle. • Not covered by a membrane.

  29. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 6. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): • Site of many chemical reactions. • System of folded membranes. • Produces proteins and lipids. • Part of the internal delivery system of the cell. • Substances move through the ER to different parts of a cell.

  30. Chapter 3 Sec. 1-2 Review Questions • 1) What is an extremophile? • 2) Where is DNA located in most cell? • 3) What is a prokaryote? • 4) What is a eukaryote? • 5) ____ ____ is a protective membrane that encloses a cell. • 6) What do ribosomes produce?

  31. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 7.Endoplasmic Reticulum: • There are 2 types: • A) Smooth ER: ER that lacks ribosomes • Makes lipids • Breaks down materials that could harm the cell • B) Rough ER: contains ribosomes • Found near the nucleus • Makes proteins

  32. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 8. Mitochondria: • Main power source of the cell. • Have their own DNA. • Breaks sugar down to produce energy. • Energy released by mitochondria is turned into ATP. • Most of a cell’s ATP is produced in the mitochondria.

  33. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 9. Chloroplasts: • Organelles in plants/algae where photosynthesis takes place. • They are green because they contains chlorophyll, a green pigment. • This absorbs sunlight and uses it to make sugar. • What is the sugar used for in the cell?

  34. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 10. Golgi Complex: • Packages and distributes proteins. • Looks like smooth ER. • Lipids and proteins from the ER are sent to the Golgi Complex. • After being modified, they are enclosed in a membrane which pinches off to form a small bubble and then transported to other parts of the cell or out of the cell.

  35. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 11. Cell Compartments: • The bubble that forms the Golgi complex’s membrane is a vesicle (small sac that surrounds material to be moved into or out of the cell) • Vesicles also move materials around the cell.

  36. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 12. Lysosomes • Responsible for cellular digestion. • Have the following functions: • Destroy damaged organelles • Gets rid of waste materials • Protects cell from foreign invaders

  37. Eukaryotic Cell Organelles • 13. Vacuoles: • Large vesicle • In plant and fungal cells, some act like large lysosomes. • Some store digestive enzymes while others store water. • What happens to a plant when its vacuoles lose water?
