Cell Structure and Function Kandinsky (1866-1944) Early Observations • Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-19340 Early Discoveries • Mid 1600s - Robert Hooke cells in cork • Late 1600s - Antony van Leeuwenhoek, microorganisms Early Discoveries • 1820s - Robert Brown observed nucleus in plant cells Microscopes • Light microscopes Figure 4.1B LM 1,000 • Magnify to 1,000X Electron Microscope Figure 4.1C TEM 2,800 SEM 2,000 • Greater magnification Figure 4.1D Cell Size 10 m 100 mm (10 cm) Length of some nerve and muscle cells Chicken egg Unaided eye 10 mm (1 cm) Frog egg 1 mm 100 m Most plant and animal cells 10 m Nucleus Light microscope Most bacteria 1 m 100 nm Mitochondrion Mycoplasmas (smallest bacteria) Viruses Ribosome 10 nm Proteins Lipids 1 nm Small molecules 0.1 nm Atoms Electron microscope • Cells vary • Surface area - limits Human height 1m Cell Size – Ratio of surface area to volume 10 m 30 m 30 m Figure 4.2B Surface area of one large cube 5,400 m2 10 m Total surface area of 27 small cubes 16,200 m2 Cell Theory 1) Every organism is composed of cells 2) Cell is smallest unit of life 3) Continuity of life from cells growth + division Structure of Cells • Two types • Prokaryotic bacteria – No nucleus – DNA? Prokaryotic flagella Ribosomes Capsule Cell wall Plasma membrane Nucleoid region (DNA) Pili Structure of Cells • Eukaryotic – plants, animals, fungi – DNA?
