Cell Structure And Function

Cell: the smallest unit of life

Discovery of Cells • 1665 - Robert Hooke was the first to identify and name cells. • 1674 - Anton van Leeuwenhoek made better lenses and observed cells in greater detail. • 1838 - Mathias Schleiden noted that plants are made of cells • 1839 - Theodor Schwann concluded that all living things are made of cells • 1855 - Rudolf Virchow proposed that all cells come from other cells

Cell Theory • All organisms are made of cells • All existing cells are produced by other living cells. • The cell is the most basic unit of life.

Prokaryotic cells • Simple cells • No nucleus • Ex: bacteria Staphylococcus aureus

Prokaryotic Cell

E Coli Bacteria Enterococcus faecalis Bacteria

Eukaryotic Cells • More complex • Have a true nucleus • Make up all living cells other than bacteria

Eukaryotic Cell

Fingernail Nerve Cell Nerve cell Hair Cell White and Red Blood Cells

Similarities and differences between the Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells Cell size 1 -10 micrometers 10 -100 micrometers Cell membrane? Yes Membrane-bound organelles? No Yes Have nucleus? No Yes Have cytoplasm? Yes Have DNA Yes, in cytoplasm Yes, in nucleus Examples Bacteria Fungi, plants, animals

Cell Movement Cells use three different methods to move themselves or debris

Flagella: long hairlike filaments used by some prokaryotes to move

Flagellum

Cilia: short hairlike projections that some cells use for movement

Pseudopod: false foot

Prokaryotic- MRSA

Prokaryotic- Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria

Eukaryotic- Fern leaf cell

Eukaryotic- taste bud cell

Eukaryotic- Osteocyte (bone cell)

Eukaryotic- cartilage cells

Cell Organelles • Specialized cell parts that carry out many different processes and functions.

Cell membrane • Barrier around the cell that controls what goes in and out • Security Guard

Nucleus • Controls most of the cell’s processes • Stores DNA • Control center or ‘brain’ Nuclear Membrane • Separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell

Nucleolus • Darker portion inside the nucleus that produces ribosomes

Cytoplasm (cytosol) • Jelly-like fluid inside the cell where metabolic processes occur

Ribosome • Small organelles that float in the cytoplasm or on the ER that build proteins • Cell workers

Endoplasmic Reticulum • Produces and transports materials such as proteins • Assembly line

Golgi Apparatus (Golgi body) • Packages and distributes proteins and lipids • Shipping and handling department

Lysosome • Stores enzymes and removes worn-out organelles. Mainly in animal cells. • Waste disposal unit

Mitochondria • Provides energy for the cell • Powerhouse or powerplant

Cytoskeleton • Thin protein fibers that helps keep the cell’s shape

Centrioles • Only found in animal cells that are important for cell division

Cell wall • Found only in plant and fungus cells. • Provides extra shape, support and protection.

Chloroplast • Found only in plant cell. They contain chlorophyll used for photosynthesis

Vacuole • Stores water, salts, and wastes. Plants have larger ones • Storage unit

Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells Plant Cells Animal Cells Have a Cell Membrane, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and Endoplasmic Reticulum? YES Have a Cell Wall? YES NO Have Lysosomes? NO (rarely) YES Have Vacuoles? YES None or Small Have Chloroplasts? YES NO

Cellular Differentiation • 250 different kinds of cells in the human body • Through cellular differentiation, different types of cells are created to carry out specific tasks or functions. • In animals the “starter” cells that differentiate are called stem cells • In plants those cells are called meristematic cells

Cellular Organization Cells Tissues Organ Systems Organisms
