Outline
• Introduction
• Historical backgrounds
• Cell types
• Cell organelles
• Summary/Conclusion
• Q &A
Cells
• Smallest living unit
• Most are
microscopic
Discovery of Cells
• Robert Hooke (mid-1600s)
– Observed sliver of cork
– Saw “row of empty boxes”
– Coined the term cell
Cell theory
• (1839)Theodor Schwann & Matthias
Schleiden
“ all living things are made of cells”
• Prokaryoti
c
• Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Cells
• First cell type on earth
• Cell type of Bacteria and
Archaea
Prokaryotic Cells
• No membrane bound nucleus
• Nucleoid = region of DNA
concentration
• Organelles not bound by membranes
Eukaryotic Cells
• Nucleus bound by
membrane
• Include fungi, protists,
plant, and animal cells
• Possess many organelles
Protozoan
Representative Animal Cell
Representative Plant Cell
Organelles
• Cellular machinery
• Two general kinds
– Derived from
membranes
– Bacteria-like organelles
Bacteria-Like Organelles
• Derived from symbiotic
bacteria
• Ancient association
• Endosymbiotic theory
– Evolution of modern cells
from cells & symbiotic
bacteria
Plasma Membrane
• Contains cell contents
• Double layer of phospholipids &
proteins
Phospholipids
• Polar
– Hydrophylic head
– Hydrophobic tail
• Interacts with
water
Movement Across the Plasma Membrane
• Made of 3 fiber
types
– Microfilaments
– Microtubules
– Intermediate
filaments
• 3 functions:
– mechanical
support
– anchor organelles
– help move
substances
A = actin, IF = intermediate filament, MT =
microtubule
Cilia & Flagella
• Provide motility
• Cilia
– Short
– Used to move
substances outside
human cells
• Flagella
– Whip-like extensions
– Found on sperm cells
• Basal bodies like
centrioles
Cilia & Flagella Structure
• Bundles of microtubules
• With plasma membrane
Centrioles
• Pairs of microtubular structures
• Play a role in cell division
Membranous Organelles
• Functional components within cytoplasm
• Bound by membranes
Nucleus
• Control center of
cell
• Double membrane
• Contains
– Chromosomes
– Nucleolus
Nuclear Envelope
• Separates nucleus from rest of cell
• Double membrane
• Has pores
DNA
• Hereditary
material
• Chromosomes
– DNA
– Protiens
– Form for cell
division
• Chromatin
Nucleolus
• Most cells have 2 or more
• Directs synthesis of RNA
• Forms ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Helps move substances within cells
• Network of interconnected
membranes
• Two types
– Rough endoplasmic reticulum
– Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Ribosomes attached to surface
– Manufacture protiens
– Not all ribosomes attached to rough ER
• May modify proteins from ribosomes
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
• No attached ribosomes
• Has enzymes that help build molecules
– Carbohydrates
– Lipids
Golgi Apparatus
• Involved in synthesis of plant cell wall
• Packaging & shipping station of cell
Golgi Apparatus Function
• Types
– Mitochondria
(release energy)
– Chloroplasts
(store energy)
Mitochondria
• Have their own DNA
• Bound by double membrane
Mitochondria
• Break down fuel molecules (cellular respiration)
– Glucose
– Fatty acids
• Release energy
– ATP
Chloroplasts
• Derived form photosynthetic bacteria
• Solar energy capturing organelle
Photosynthesis
• Takes place in the chloroplast
• Makes cellular food – glucose
