Chapter 4 A Tour of the Cell
Introduction: Cells on the Move
• Cells, the simplest collection of matter that can live,
were first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665
• Antoni van Leeuwenhoek later described cells that
could move – bacteria
• Although cell movement attracted the early
scientists, we know today that not all cells move
• The early microscopes provided data to establish
the cell theory
– That is, all living things are composed of cells and that all
cells come from other cells

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell
Describe microscopes and their importance in
viewing cellular structure
• The most frequently used microscope is the
light microscope (LM)—like the one used in
biology laboratories- to 1000X (400X)
• Biologists often use a very powerful microscope
called the electron microscope (EM) to view the
ultrastructure of cells -100,000 X

4.2 Most cells are microscopic
• Most cells cannot be seen without a
microscope
• Cell size is variable
• The surface area of a cell is important for
carrying out the cell’s functions, such as
acquiring adequate nutrients and oxygen
– A small cell has more surface area relative to its
cell volume and is more efficient

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than
eukaryotic cells
Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells
• Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic cells
• All other forms of life are eukaryotic cells
– Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma
membrane and one or more chromosomes and
ribosomes
– Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus
and a number of other organelles, whereas
prokaryotes have a nucleoid and no true organelles

4.5 The structure of membranes correlates with their
functions
Describe the structure of cell membranes and how
membrane structure relates to function
• The plasma membrane controls the movement
of molecules into and out of the cell, a trait
called selective permeability
– The structure of the membrane with its component
molecules is responsible for this characteristic
– Membranes are made of lipids, proteins, and some
carbohydrate, but the most abundant lipids are
phospholipids
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
4.5 The structure of membranes correlates with their
functions
• Phospholipids form a two-layer sheet called a
phospholipid bilayer
– Hydrophilic heads face outward, and hydrophobic
tails point inward
– Thus, hydrophilic heads are exposed to water, while
hydrophobic tails are shielded from water
• Proteins are attached to the surface, and some
are embedded into the phospholipid bilayer

Cell structures involved in
manufacturing and breakdown
•Nucleus
•Ribosomes
•Endomembrane system
Discuss ways that cellular organelles are
involved in the manufacture and
breakdown of important cellular molecules
4.6 The nucleus is the cell’s genetic control center
• The nucleus controls the cell’s activities and is
responsible for inheritance
– Inside is a complex of proteins and DNA called
chromatin, which makes up the cell’s chromosomes
– DNA is copied within the nucleus prior to cell division
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
4.7 Ribosomes make proteins for use in the cell and
export
• Ribosomes are involved in the cell’s protein
synthesis
– Ribosomes are synthesized in the nucleolus, which is
found in the nucleus
– Cells that must synthesize large amounts of protein have
a large number of ribosomes
• Some ribosomes are free ribosomes; others are
bound
– Free ribosomes are suspended in the cytoplasm
– Bound ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) associated with the nuclear envelope

4.8 Overview: Many cell organelles are connected
through the endomembrane system
• The membranes within a eukaryotic cell are
physically connected and compose the
endomembrane system
– The endomembrane system includes the nuclear
envelope, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus,
lysosomes, vacuoles, and the plasma membrane
• Some components of the endomembrane system
are able to communicate with others with
formation and transfer of small membrane
segments called vesicles
– One important result of communication is the synthesis,
storage, and export of molecules
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
4.9 The endoplasmic reticulum is a biosynthetic factory
• Smooth ER is involved in a variety of diverse
metabolic processes
– For example, enzymes produced by the smooth ER
are involved in the synthesis of lipids, oils,
phospholipids, and steroids
• Rough ER makes additional membrane for itself
and proteins destined for secretion
– Once proteins are synthesized, they are transported
in vesicles to other parts of the endomembrane
system

4.10 The Golgi apparatus finishes, sorts, and ships cell
products
• The Golgi apparatus functions in conjunction with
the ER by modifying products of the ER
– Products travel in transport vesicles from the ER to the
Golgi apparatus
– One side of the Golgi apparatus functions as a receiving
dock for the product and the other as a shipping dock
– Products are modified as they go from one side of the Golgi
apparatus to the other and travel in vesicles to other sites

4.11 Lysosomes are digestive compartments within a
cell
• A lysosome is a membranous sac containing
digestive enzymes
– The enzymes and membrane are produced by the
ER and transferred to the Golgi apparatus for
processing
– The membrane serves to safely isolate these potent
enzymes from the rest of the cell
• One of the several functions of lysosomes is to
remove or recycle damaged parts of a cell

4.12 Vacuoles function in the general maintenance of
the cell
• Vacuoles are membranous sacs that are found
in a variety of cells and possess an assortment
of functions
– Examples are the central vacuole in plants with
hydrolytic functions, pigment vacuoles in plants to
provide color to flowers, and contractile vacuoles in
some protists to expel water from the cell

Cell structures involved in energy
conversion
• Mitochondria
• Chloroplast
Describe the function of each cellular organelle
that is involved in energy conversion
4.14 Mitochondria harvest chemical energy from food
• Cellular respiration is accomplished in the
mitochondria of eukaryotic cells
– Cellular respiration involves conversion of chemical
energy in foods to chemical energy = ATP (adenosine
triphosphate)
– Mitochondria have two internal compartments
– The intermembrane space, which encloses the
mitochondrial matrix where materials necessary for ATP
generation are found

4.15 Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical
energy
• Chloroplasts are the photosynthesizing
organelles of plants
– Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy to
chemical energy of sugar molecules
• Chloroplasts are partitioned into compartments
– The important parts of chloroplasts are the stroma,
thylakoids, and grana

Cell structures involved in internal and
external support
•Cytoskeleton
•Cilia/flagella
•Extracellular matrix
•Cell junctions
•Cell wall
Describe the function of each cellular
organelle that is involved in internal and
external support of the cell
4.17 The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its
structure and activities
• Cells contain a network of protein fibers, called
the cytoskeleton, that functions in cell
structural support and motility
– Scientists believe that motility and cellular
regulation result when the cytoskeleton interacts
with proteins called motor proteins

4.17 The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its
structure and activities
• The cytoskeleton is composed of three kinds of
fibers
– Microfilaments (actin filaments) support the cell’s
shape and are involved in motility
– Intermediate filaments reinforce cell shape and
anchor organelles
– Microtubules (made of tubulin) shape the cell and
act as tracks for motor protein

4.18 Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend
• While some protists have flagella and cilia that are
important in locomotion, some cells of multicellular
organisms have them for different reasons
– Cells that sweep mucus out of our lungs have cilia
– Animal sperm are flagellated

4.18 Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend
• Both flagella and cilia are made of microtubules
wrapped in an extension of the plasma membrane
• A ring of nine microtubule doublets surrounds a
central pair of microtubules
– This arrangement is called the 9 + 2 pattern and is
anchored in a basal body with nine microtubule triplets
arranged in a ring

4.19 CONNECTION: Problems with sperm motility may
be environmental or genetic
• There has been a decline in sperm quality
– A group of chemicals called phthalates used in a
variety of things people use every day may be the
cause
• On the other hand, there are genetic reasons
that sperm lack motility
– Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an example
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
4.20 The extracellular matrix of animal cells functions in
support, movement, and regulation
• Cells synthesize and secrete the extracellular
matrix (ECM) that is essential to cell function
– The ECM is composed of strong fibers of collagen,
which holds cells together and protects the plasma
membrane
– ECM attaches through connecting proteins that bind
to membrane proteins called integrins
– Integrins span the plasma membrane and connect to
microfilaments of the cytoskeleton

4.21 Three types of cell junctions are found in animal
tissues
• Adjacent cells communicate, interact, and adhere
through specialized junctions between them
– Tight junctions prevent leakage of extracellular fluid
across a layer of epithelial cells
– Anchoring junctions fasten cells together into sheets
– Gap junctions are channels that allow molecules to flow
between cells

4.22 Cell walls enclose and support plant cells
• Plant, but not animal cells, have a rigid cell
wall
– It protects and provides skeletal support that helps
keep the plant upright against gravity
– Plant cell walls are composed primarily of cellulose
• Plant cells have cell junctions called
plasmodesmata that serve in communication
between cells

4.23 Review: Eukaryotic cell structures can be grouped
on the basis of four basic functions
• It is possible to group cell organelles into four
categories based on general functions of organelles
– In each category structure is correlated with function
