Cell ScientistsCell Scientists
• Robert Hooke
• looked at cork under a microscope
• 1st to use term “cell”
Cell ScientistsCell Scientists
• Anton van Leeuwenhoek
• looked at pond water
• 1st to see living cells
Cell ScientistsCell Scientists
• Schleiden, Schwann, & Virchow
• came up with the cell theory
The Cell TheoryThe Cell Theory
Parts of the Cell TheoryParts of the Cell Theory
• All living things are made of one or more cells
• Cells are the basic unit of structure & function in organisms
• Cells come only from the reproduction of pre-existing cells
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic CellsProkaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic CellsProkaryotic Cells
• Appeared 3.5 billion years ago
• Primitive, simple
• Small in size
• No membrane-bound organelles
• Smaller ribosomes
• Single, circular
chromosome
• BACTERIA
Eukaryotic CellsEukaryotic Cells
• Appeared 1.5 billion years ago
• Complex
• Contain membrane-
bound organelles
• Larger ribosomes
• Paired, linear
chromosomes
• NUCLEUS
Parts of aEukaryotic Cell
Parts of aEukaryotic Cell
Plasma MembranePlasma Membrane
• Also called the Cell Membrane
• Separates
cell from its environment
Plasma MembranePlasma Membrane
• Semi-permeable• Allows only
certain molecules to enter or exit
Plasma MembranePlasma Membrane
• Phospholipid Bilayer• Embedded with
proteins
• Fluid-mosaic Model
NucleusNucleus
• “Boss” or “Brain” of the cell
• Controls cellular activities
• Contains DNA (chromosomes)
NucleusNucleus
• Nuclear Membrane• Surrounds nucleus
• Double membrane
• Contains nuclear pores (holes)
NucleusNucleus
• Nucleolus• Produces
ribosomes
• Ribosomes leave through nuclear pores
CytoplasmCytoplasm
• Cytosol• Fluid portion
• Organelles• Membrane-bound
compartments that carry out specific functions
MitochondriaMitochondria• Breaks down glucose
to CREATE ENERGY (ATP)• Active cells (muscle) ->
hundreds of mitochondria
• Inactive cells (fat) -> few mitochondria
• Have own DNA• Have a double
membrane
RibosomesRibosomes• Create proteins• Composed of 2
interlocking subunits
• Some float free in cytosol
• Some attach to the ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Intracellular highway
• 2 Types• Rough ER• Smooth ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Rough ER• Covered in
ribosomes• Produces
phospholipids and proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Smooth ER• Lacks ribosomes• Produces lipids,
estrogen, & testosterone
• Helps detoxify drugs & poisons
• Increased use = increased smooth ER
• Possibly linked to increased tolerance
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Transport (FedEx of the cell)
• Receive vesicles from ER
• Can modify packages en route
Golgi ApparatusGolgi Apparatus
• Lysosomes• Contain digestive
enzymes• Digest organic
molecules, worn organelles, or dying cells
VesiclesVesicles
• Cilia• Hair-like• Short &
numerous
• Flagella• Tail-like• Long & less
numerous
Cilia/FlagellaCilia/Flagella
Plant Cellversus Animal CellPlant Cellversus Animal Cell
• Cytoskeleton• Network of
microtubules & filaments
• Gives the cell shape
• Holds organelles in place
Animal Cells Only!Animal Cells Only!
• Centrioles• Used during cell
division
Animal Cells Only!Animal Cells Only!
• Cell Wall• Rigid layer
surrounding plasma membrane
• Made of cellulose
• Pores allow water, ions, & other molecules to pass
• Bacteria, some protists & fungi also have cell walls
Plant Cells Only!Plant Cells Only!
• Chloroplast• Contain
chlorophyll• Site of
photosynthesis• Energy (sunlight)
-> food• Contain own
DNA• Have a double
membrane
Plant Cells Only!Plant Cells Only!
• Central vacuole• Large, fluid-filled
organelle• Stores water, ions,
enzymes & waste• Can be up to 90%
of cell’s volume• Animals cells
have small vacuoles
• Why so big in plants?
