Cell Introduction
• Prokaryotic Cell: A cell that is lacking
a nucleus and most organelles
• Eukaryotic Cell: A cell that contains a
membrane bound nucleus and other
membrane bound organelles.
• Organelles: “mini-organ” part of the
cell with a specific job.
Prokaryotic Cells
• A cell that lacks a nucleus
• Still has Genetic information (DNA) just not
contained in the nucleus
• Bacteria and archaea are two types of
prokaryotic cells
• These appear to be the earliest organisms
on earth.
Eukaryotic Cells
• A cell with a membrane bound nucleus
and membrane bound organelles.
• Genetic material is contained in the
nucleus
• These are broken up into Plant cells
and Animal cells

Cell Theory
• The generalization that:
• all living things are
composed of cells
• cells are the basic unit of
structure and function in
living things.
• All cells come from
existing cells
Cell Organelles
Organelle: “Mini” organ
Nucleus
• A large organelle that contains
the cells genetic material (DNA)
• The “brain” of the cell
• Nuclear Envelope: a pair of
membranes that surrounds the
nucleus
• Nuclear pores: Holes or pores in
the nuclear envelope that allow
materials to leave the nucleus.

Ribosomes
Ribosome
• A small organelle used to change
DNA into proteins
• The “assembly line” of the cell
• Made up of proteins and nucleic
acids
• Ribosomes are found on the outside
of the Endoplasmic Reticulum and
others are found floating in the cell.

Ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
An extensive network of membranes
that builds cell materials
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth ER
Rough ER
Nuclear
envelope
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough E.R.
 Has ribosomes attached to the outside of
the membrane
Creates proteins
Smooth E.R.
 Does Not have ribosomes attached to the
membrane
 Creates enzymes and lipids

Rough ER
Golgi Apparatus
An organelle made up of a series
of membrane sacks
Makes changes and directs the
materials created by the E.R.
Like a shipping store that packs,
directs, and ships materials.

vacuole
Digestion
Vacuole
A large membrane bound sack
found inside of the cell
Contractile Vacuole: Used to
pump out excess water in cells
Central Vacuole: Stores chemicals
and helps plant growth.

Chloroplast
Lysosomes
 Membrane bound sack that contains
digestive enzymes
 Lysosomes are used to break down
macromolecules
Breaks down incoming food
Destroy harmful bacteria
Recycle damaged organelles
Chloroplast
 A photosynthetic organelle found in
plant cells
 Converts sunlight and CO2 into sugar
and oxygen

Mitochondria
Mitochondrion
 The organelle that
creates energy for
cells
 Uses glucose to create
chemical energy (ATP)
Outer
membrane
Intermembrane

 Found in plant and
animal cells
 Creation of energy happens
on the membranes inside of
the mitochondria
Inner

Cristae
Matrix
Cytoplasm
The entire region between the
nucleus and plasma membrane
A fluid filled space
Flagella and Cilia
 Flagella: a long, thin, whip-like
structure
 Created with microtubules that allow
a cell to move
 Cilia: smaller, and more numerous
hair-like structures
 Created with bundles of microtubules

Plasma Membrane
A thin outer layer of a cell
Regulates the flow of molecules
into and out of the cell
Made up of a Phospholipid bilayer
with membrane proteins,
cholesterol, and carbohydrates
embedded.

A strong layer outside of the
plasma membrane, used to
maintain shape in plant cells
Cell wall is found only in
certain bacteria and plant
cells.
