  1. Cell Design and Function VMHS Science

  2. Cell Theory The Cell Theory States the Following: 1.All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The Cell is the basic unit of life. 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells through Mitosis or Meiosis.

  3. The Two Basic Cell Types • Prokaryotes:the cells of most unicellular organisms like bacteria lacking membrane-bound structures.image • Eukaryotes:Most multicellular organisms that contain membrane-bound structures. image

  4. Prokaryote Characteristics • Include Kingdoms: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. diagram • Contains Circular DNA image • Genetic material not bound by a nuclear envelope. • Divide by fission.image • No membrane-bound organelles.

  5. Eukaryote Characteristics • Include Kingdoms: Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, and Protista. diagram • Contains linear DNA condensed into chromosomes image • Genetic material is bound by a nuclear envelope image • Divide by sexual reproduction--meiosis and mitosis. animation • Contains membrane-bound organelles.

  6. Microscopes • Total magnification is found by multiplying the Eyepiece lens magnification times the Objective Lens. Complete the table below:

  7. CELLULAR ORGANELLES AND THEIR FUNCTION

  8. The Plasma Membrane • Maintains homeostasis • creates a barrier for the cell. • Protection • semi-permeable image

  9. The Nucleus • Contains the genetic info. (DNA) • Assembles Ribosomes • Central Processing Unit • Nuclear Envelope and pores

  10. The Ribosomes • A small, NON-membrane bound organelle. • Located in the cytoplasm and the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). • Produced in the nucleolus. • rRNA functions to assemble proteins from amino acids. • Composed of both DNA and RNA.

  11. Ribosomes

  12. The Mitochondrion • Produces cellular energy for the cell in the form of ATP. (=Adenosine-P-P-P).image • Contains highly folded internal membranes called cristae. image • Contains it’s own DNA (theorized to have once been a single-celled organism) image • Contains an inner and outer compartment image

  13. The Mitochondrion (cont’d) • Divides asexually (fission) similarly to that of a prokaryotic organism. image • The # of mitochondria in a cell is determined by that cell’s energy needs. image (Ex: Muscle cells contain more mitochondria than do skin cells.)

  14. The Golgi Apparatus • Contains a single membrane. • Is a stack of vessicles involved in packaging macromolecules for transport through the cell. • Golgi vessicles are involved in transporting material out of cell.

  16. The Golgi Apparatus • Vessicle Contents: 1) hormonal/enzyme contents of lysosomes. 2) Peroxisomes that breakdown toxic hydrogen peroxide. 3) Secretory vessicles that transport material via exocytosis. image

  17. The Endoplasmic Reticulum • Attached to the nucleus to form a transportation network for protein distribution. • Two Types: • 1) Smooth ER: Ribosome-free and produces lipids and membrane proteins. • 2) Rough ER: w/ribosomes and produces other proteins.

  18. Endoplasmic Reticulum

  19. LYSOSOMES • Contain digestive enzymes. • Digests excess or worn out organelles, food particles, bacteria, & viruses. • Has a membrane to protect the rest of the cell from the strong digestive enzymes.

  20. The Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells

  21. PLANT CELL • Has a few different organelles than an animal cell. • A plant cell has a cell wall. • A plant cell has chloroplasts. • A plant cell has a vacuole.

  22. CELL WALL • An inflexible barrier that protects a plant cell and gives it support. • Composed of cellulose. • Allows materials to enter, but it is not selective like the plasma membrane.

  23. VACUOLES • Located in the cytoplasm. • Temporary storage containers. Store food, enzymes, & other materials needed by the cell. • Some vacuoles store waste products.

  24. Capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy. • Has a double membrane • Inside the membranes, the thylakoid gain energy from trapped sunlight. • The thylakoid are arranged in stacks called grana. • The grana is surrounded by a fluid called stroma. CHLOROPLASTS • Chloroplasts contain the green pigment, chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color.
