CELLS
The Basic Unit: Cells
Cells – tiny living structures that make up all living things
A human liver – which weighs about 3 lb, is made up of over 300 billion cells!
Whole body estimate? 60 trillion Not all cells are alike; some are specialized
(they perform functions that no other cells do
Blood cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, gland cells
The Cell Theory
Robert Hooke (1665) – the first to use the word “cell” to describe what he saw
Observed a piece of cork through a microscope
What he actually saw were the walls of dead plant cells
Later scientists observed living things – they observed protoplasm
One made observation of plants. Another of animals
The Cell Theory
All of these observations were combines to form the modern cell theory: All cells come from preexisting cells All living things are made of cells and of the
products of cells The functions of living things are performed
by the cells they are made of
Cellular Functions
All cells use energy All cells manufacture materials All cells respond to their environment All cells reproduce themselves
Answer the following questions: Who was the first English scientist to use
the word “cell”? According to the cell theory, can
anything not made of cells be alive? Explain your answer.
What happens when a cell stops using energy?
Answer the following questions: Who was the first English scientist to use
the word “cell”? According to the cell theory, can
anything not made of cells be alive? Explain your answer.
What happens when a cell stops using energy?
Molecules and Life
The smallest unit that can be alive is the cell – but there are smaller structures within a cell
The smaller structures are essential for organism survival
Molecule – made up of atoms Most molecules belong to 1 of 4 categories:
Carbohydrates Proteins Nucleic acids Lipids (fats)
Molecules and Life
Molecules from these categories: Are used to build cells Store energy Regulate cell activities Store genetic information
Carbohydrates
Sugars and starches They are made of only carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen atoms Simple sugar: glucose (C6H12O6) Other examples: cellulose, starch,
glycogen
Proteins
They are very diverse and involved in almost everything a living cell does!
They may: Store food Fight disease (antibodies) Help your muscles move Enzymes
Made up of amino acids There are 20 common amino acids (the
arrangement is important, especially for enzymes)
Nucleic Acids
How does a cell know which amino acids to line up to build the proper protein? This information is stored in the cell’s DNA
Nucleic acids contain all the instructions that living cells need to make proteins and maintain life.
Made up of smaller molecules: nucleotides Two major kinds of nucleic acids:
DNA RNA
Nucleic Acids
Three things you need to know about nucleic acids: The arrangement of the nucleotides in DNA
forms a code The DNA code determines which amino
acids will be in a protein The RNA helps in protein synthesis by using
the coded instructions in DNA
Lipids
Fats and lipids are the same things Too much can be unhealthy…but they
are important to maintaining good health.
It serves as energy storage Membranes contain lipids Lipid molecules in a membrane:
Structural Communicative Transportive
Warm-up
Finish your lab write up from Friday Label the next two pages in your
interactive notebooks: Left: Membranes what? 10/4/10 Right: Membranes 10/4/10
Membranes
Each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane, a thin covering that forms the outer boundary of the cell
Membranes sense and respond to changes in the surrounding environment
Membrane structure: Composed of molecules of lipids and proteins The most accurate model: Fluid mosaic model
Lipid molecules form a flexible (fluid), two-layered film in which proteins are embedded
Membrane Properties
Selective Permeability: This means only certain molecules can go
through the cell membrane Molecules of water, oxygen, and carbon
dioxide are small enough to pass, but others are too large (starch and protein)
One of the main ways that substances can pass through is by passive transport Movement of substances across a membrane
without using energy
Membrane Properties
Diffusion A movement of molecules from an area of
high concentration to low until it reaches equilibrium
Osmosis The diffusion of water through a selectively
permeable membrane Active transport
Another way substances move across the membrane – but REQUIRES ENERGY!
Movement from area of low concentration to high OR when molecules are too big to pass
Leeuwenhoek
Let’s read the Facet together… The Father of Microscopy He called the organisms he viewed
“animalcules” (or beasties)

Name the membrane model that is considered to be the most accurate.
What did Leeuwenhoek call the organisms he views with his microscopes?
Does osmosis require a cell to expend energy?
What type of transport requires energy?
Typical Parts of Cells
Cell are like tiny factories in many ways Factories have: headquarters, power
supplies, manufacturing equipment, clean-up crews, and shipping departments
All cells have three basic parts: Cellular boundaries The cytoplasm Genetic material
Typical Parts of Cells
Cell boundaries Plants – cell walls Animal cell – cell (plasma) membrane
Keep things in and out; controls what allows to go in and out
Cytoplasm A thick fluid that contains many organelles Organelles – the parts of the cell that perform
many functions needed to keep the cell alive Genetic Material
Nucleus – compact, roundish structure that functions as the control center of the cell. This contains the genetic info (DNA)
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse; site
of energy production
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Endoplasmic Reticulum – ER for short; a
maze of passageways; it connects the nucleus to the cell membrane; functions as the cell’s delivery system.
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Ribosomes – tiny organelles directing the
assembling of proteins; serve as major building materials of cells; scattered throughout the cytoplasm or attached to the ER; These make PROTEINS!
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Golgi Apparatus – chemicals from the
cytoplasm are collected here; believed to be connected with the ER; packages chemicals and distributes them throughout the cell
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Vacuoles – look like bubbles and serve as
containers inside the cytoplasm of some cells; may contain food, water, wastes, fats, or chemicals being
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Lysosomes – tiny-enzyme filled capsules;
circulate in the cytoplasm and us their enzymes as a demolition crew; dissolve away cellular structures not needed; also help keep foreign invaders out.
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Chloroplasts – ONLY IN PLANT CELLS;
contain chlorophyll (which captures energy from sunlight and the energy is then used to make sugar through a process called photosynthesis)
Typical Parts of Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm: Nucleus – compact, roundish structure;
functions as the control center; contains genetic information of the cell; surrounded by a nuclear membrane; contains chromosomes (composed of DNA)
Typical Parts of Cells
Cilia and Flagella Cilia – short, hair like structures on the
outer part of a cell Flagella – a single, whiplike tail Both provide for movement
LABEL THE TWO diagrams I gave you on the set of handouts. Look on page 56 for help!

We will pass back your work from yesterday and we are going to go over Ideas 4A-D and take a grade as well as Chapter Review questions.
Cellular Organization
Most cells need other cells to survive Exception: paramecium; unicellular; feeds itself
Larger organisms divide the functions they need to survive among many cells.
Tissue: a group of cells working together to perform a specific function
Organ: groups of different kinds of tissues that work together to accomplish a particular function
There is a division of labor among the tissues and organs or multicellular organisms
Answer the following questions:
A group of cells that perform a particular function is called a _______________
______________ means that the functions of an organism are performed by different parts of its body

Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration – the breakdown of an energy source (sugar) by cells to obtain useable energy.
This process requires many enzymes, which serve as catalysts
Catalysts – substances that help change other substances without being permanently changed themselves
Cellular Respiration
Sugar is the most common energy source in cellular respiration
It takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria
Sugar + oxygen carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Two types of cellular respiration: Aerobic respiration – requires oxygen; make
more useable energy Anaerobic respiration – no oxygen
Cellular Respiration
Two types of anaerobic respiration (fermentation): Alcoholic fermentation
Bread dough rising; leaven; yeast Lactic acid fermentation
Yogurt, cottage cheese, buttermilk Muscles – lactic acid build up can cause muscle
soreness
Photosynthesis
The process that most producer organisms use to change light energy into chemical energy (producer organisms make their own food)
Carbon dioxide + water + light energy sugar + oxygen
Light is changed to energy (sugar) Occurs in the chloroplast, which contain
chlorophyll Chlorophyll, a green pigment, that absorbs light
energy and uses it to power photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis
Chloroplasts: Have two membranes Contains things that look like stacks of
coins
