Title: The Cell Cells are the basic unit of living things
1The CellCells are the basic unit of living things
2Leeuwenhoek
- 1674
- First to describe cells as seen through a simple
microscope
3Robert Hooke
In 1665, Robert Hooke viewed cork samples. He
observed hollow boxes which he called cells.
4- In the 1830s Schleiden and Schwann studied plant
and animal cells.
5Schleiden
All plants are made of cells.
6Schwann
All animals are made of cells.
7Cell Theory
- 1. All organisms are composed of one or more
cells.
8Cell Theory
- 2. The cell is the basic unit of organization for
organisms.
9Cell Theory
- 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
10BASIC CELL TYPESProkaryoteEukaryote
11Prokaryote
- Primitive cells without organelles.
- Lacks internal structures surrounded by membranes
- Lacks a true nucleus
- DNA is contained in the nucleoid
- Most are single-celled organisms
12Eukaryote
- Has membrane bound structures
- Has a true nucleus
- Allows cells parts to specialize in particular
functions - Can be unicellular or multicellular
- Membrane-bound structures are called organelles
- Allows different chemical reactions to take place
13Cell Structures and Functions
14Plasma Membrane
- AKA cell membrane
- Location Surrounds the cell
- Function boundary between cell and environment
- Controls what goes into and out of the cell.
15Cell Wall
- Location surrounds the plasma membrane in plant
cells - Function support
16Nucleus
- Location center of the cell
- Function manage cell functions
17Nuclear Envelope
- Location surround the nucleus
- Function controls what goes into and out of the
nucleus
18DNA
- Location in the nucleus, on the chromosomes
- Function produce the codes for protein synthesis
19Chromatin
- Location in the nucleus, made from DNA
- Function form chromosomes during cell
reproduction
20Nucleolus
- Location in the nucleus
- Function produce ribosomes
21Ribosomes
- Location nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum,
cytoplasm - Function assembles enzymes and proteins for
protein synthesis
22Cytoplasm
- Location from the nuclear envelope to the cell
membrane, surrounding the organelles - Function a clear, jelly-like fluid that holds
the organelles in place
23Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Location within the cytoplasm
- Function site of lipid synthesis and cells
delivery system
24Golgi Apparatus
- Location within the cytoplasm
- Function Receives and distributes the new
proteins from the ER and distributes substances
from the vesicles
25Vacuole
- Location within the cytoplasm
- Function temporary storage of material (food,
water, waste, enzymes) - One large vacuole in plants
- Many small vacuoles in animals
26Lysosomes
- Location within the cytoplasm (animals only)
- Function digest enzymes, worn out or extra cell
parts, food, virus/bacteria
27Mitochondria
- AKA powerhouse
- Location within cytoplasm
- Function breaks down food to release energy
28Chloroplasts
- Location within cytoplasm (plants only)
- Function change light energy into usable
chemical energy
29Chlorophyll green pigment that gives plants
their color and traps lightBelongs to a group
of plant organelles called plastids which are
used for storage. They store starches (carbs),
lipids, and pigments.
30Cytoskeleton
- Location Within the cytoplasm
- Function provides support for organelles
31Composed of microtubules and microfilamentsmicro
tubules thin hollow cylinders made of
proteinmicrofilaments solid protein fibers
32Cilia
- Location outside of the cell, short, hair-like
- Function move the cell
33Flagella
- Location outside the cell, long, whip-like
- Function move the cell
34Centriole
- Location in the cytoplasm (animal cells only)
- Function aid in cell division
