Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell Structure and Function

  2. Vocabulary

  3. Learning Target I can discuss the history and components of the cell theory.

  4. Cells • A cell is the smallest living unit of life • Most are microscopic

  5. Discovery of Cells • Robert Hooke from England (1665) • Observed sliver of cork • Saw “row of empty boxes” • Coined the term cell because it reminded him of monk’s cells

  6. Discovery of Cells • Anton van Leeuwenhoek • From Holland • Observed tiny moving organisms in pond water • Animalcules

  7. Cell theory • (1838)Theodor Schwann, German biologist • (1839) Matthias Schleiden, German botanist “ all living things are made of cells” • (1855) Rudolf Virchow “all cells come from pre-existing cells”

  8. Principles of Cell Theory • All living things are made of cells • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. • New cells are produced from existing cells.

  9. Points to Ponder With a partner. . . 1. Discuss the three individuals responsible for the cell theory. 2. Name the three parts of the cell theory.

  10. Learning Target I can analyze the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

  11. Characteristics of All Cells • Cell (Plasma) membrane -- A surrounding protective membrane • Cytoplasm – cell contents in thick fluid • Control center with DNA

  12. Cell Types • Prokaryotic • Eukaryotic

  13. Prokaryotic Cells • First cell type on earth • Small with simple structure • Possess all characteristics of life • Cell type of Bacteria and Archaea

  14. Prokaryotic Cells • No membrane bound nucleus • Nucleoid = region of genetic material (DNA) • Organelles not bound by membranes

  15. Eukaryotic Cells • Nucleus bound by membrane; contains genetic material (DNA) • Include fungi, protists, plant, and animal cells • Possess many organelles Protozoan

  16. Learning Target • I can analyze the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

  17. Points to ponder Solo Prewrite cell constructed response Partner Use the scoring guide to critique your partner’s CRQ while your partner critiques yours Solo Write your final draft

  18. Learning Target • I can describe the functions of all major cell organelles. • I can prepare a chart that details the structure and functions of the organelles in an animal or plant cell.

  19. Composite Animal Cell

  20. Composite Plant Cell

  21. Cell Structure • Eukaryotic cell is divided into two major parts: • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • the portion of the cell outside the nucleus; organelles are suspended in this

  22. Nucleus • Control center of the cell • Found in plant and animal cells • Surrounded by a double membrane • Contains nearly all cell’s DNA • Chromatin

  23. Nuclear Envelope • Separates nucleus from rest of cell • Double membrane • Has nuclear pores to allow movement of materials into and out of the nucleus

  24. DNA • Hereditary material stored in the nucleus • Chromosomes contain the DNA which contain the instructions for controlling the cell’s functions • Most of the time the DNA is coiled into chromatin • Chromosomes are seen as coiled strands inside the nucleus is the genetic material seen in the nucleus

  25. Nucleolus • Found inside the nucleus • Most cells have 2 or more • Directs synthesis of RNA • Produces ribosomes

  26. Ribosomes • Small particles of RNA and protein • Located all over the cell • Site of protein synthesis • Assembles amino acids into proteins • Can be free or attached

  27. Endoplasmic Reticulum • Helps move substances within cells • Network of interconnected membranes • Two types • Rough endoplasmic reticulum • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

  28. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Has ribosomes attached to surface • Manufacture proteins • Not all ribosomes are attached to rough ER. Some are free in the cytoplasm • May chemically modify proteins from ribosomes

  29. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum • No attached ribosomes • Has enzymes that help build molecules • Carbohydrates • Lipids

  30. Golgi Apparatus • Involved in synthesis of plant cell wall • Modifies, sorts and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.

  31. Golgi Apparatus Function 1. Molecules come in vesicles 2. Vesicles fuse with Golgi membrane 3. Molecules may be modified by Golgi 4. Molecules pinched-off in separate vesicle 5. Vesicle leaves Golgi apparatus 6. Vesicles may combine with plasma membrane to secrete contents

  32. Lysosomes • Contain digestive enzymes • Functions • Aid in cell renewal • Use enzymes to break down food and worn out cell parts • Digests invaders

  33. Vacuoles • Membrane bound storage sacs • More common in plants than animals • Store • Water • Food • Wastes

  34. Mitochondria • Have their own DNA • Bound by double membrane

  35. Mitochondria • Produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions • Break down fuel molecules (cellular respiration) • Glucose • Fatty acids • Release energy • ATP

  36. Chloroplasts • Capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy • Photosynthesis

  37. Microfilaments/Microtubules • Located all over the cell • 3 functions: • mechanical support • anchor organelles • help move substances

  38. A = actin, IF = intermediate filament, MT = microtubule

  39. Cilia & Flagella • Provide motility • Cilia • Short • Used to move substances outside human cells • Flagella • Whip-like extensions • Found on sperm cells

  40. Cilia & Flagella Structure • Bundles of microtubules • Continuous with plasma membrane

  41. Centrioles • Pairs of microtubular structures • Play a role in cell division

  42. Points to Ponder • Solo: What three component of cell structure do prokaryotic, animal and plant cells have in common • Partner: Pick an organelle and discuss what would happen to the cell if that organelle were to stop working.

  43. Learning Target I can describe the functions of all major cell organelles. I can prepare a chart that details the structure and functions of the organelles in an animal or plant cell.

  44. Learning Target • I can explain how the cell membrane controls movement of substances both into and out of the cell and within the cell.

  45. Cell Membrane • Also known as the plasma membrane • Contains cell contents • Double layer of phospholipids & proteins • Controls what enters or exits the cell

  46. Phospholipids • Polar • Hydrophilic head • Hydrophobic tail • Interacts with water

  47. Cell Walls • Found in plants, fungi, & many protists • Surrounds plasma membrane; provides support and protection for the cell

  48. Cell Wall Differences • Plants – mostly cellulose • Fungi – contain chitin

  49. Cytoplasm • Viscous fluid containing organelles • components of cytoplasm • Interconnected filaments & fibers • Fluid = cytosol • Organelles (not nucleus) • Storage substances
