Cells
How Were Cells
Discovered?
• New technologies lead to new
discoveries
• Robert Hooke - invented the
first microscope and was the first
to observe and name the small
units that make up organisms.
He called those small units cells
because of the appearance of the
structures in the dead cork he
observed.
How Were Cells
Discovered?
• Anton van Leeuwenhoek improved the microscope
and procedures for observing
cells. He was able to clearly
see living cells when
observing the scrapings from
his teeth.

The Cell Theory
Through the cooperative efforts of
many individual scientists, a
unifying cell theory developed:
• All organisms are made of cells
• Cells are the structural &
functional units of organisms
• Cells come from pre-existing
cells
The Cell Theory
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells
• Are all cells
alike?
• Two main types
of cells ….
Prokaryotic Cells
• Simplest type of cell
• Includes only bacteria.
• Structure of a prokaryotic cell
• No nucleus
• No membrane-bound
organelles
• Includes: circular
chromosome (DNA),
plasmids (smaller rings
of DNA, and ribosomes
Eukaryotic Cells
• More complex than prokaryotic
cells
• Includes protist cells, fungi cells,
plant cells, and animal cells (i.e. everything EXCEPT bacteria cells)
• Structure of a eukaryotic
cell
• Chromosomes contained
within a nucleus
• In addition to ribosomes
contains membrane-bound

Cell Specialization
• Different cells have different
specialized structures and
different specialized
functions. The specialized
function of the cell depends
on the unique environment of
the cell.
Ex. Fresh water vs. salt water
environments
Cell Specialization
• The specific form (structure)
of a cell allows it to perform
a specific function - FORM
RELATES TO
FUNCTION
Ex. Nerve cells are long and
thin to transmit messages

What do cells share?
Structures found in ALL
cells
DNA/Chromosome(s)
• DNA organized as
chromosome(s).
DNA directs cell
activity
Cytoplasm
• Cytoplasm is the
“filling” of the cell
and is made of up to
90% water. Water
provides the
necessary
environment for all
the chemical reactions
the cell needs
Ribosomes
• Ribosomes are
organelles that are the
site of protein
synthesis. Proteins
are essential for
enzymes, structure,
and communication
Cell Membrane
• Also called the Plasma Membrane

4 structures found in ALL cells:

Cell Membrane
• Composed of a
phospholipid bilayer
with embedded
proteins. The fluid
mosaic model
describes the
structure of the cell
membrane
Cell Membrane
• Fluid - individual
phospholipids and
proteins can move past
each other; they are not
fixed in one position
• Mosaic - the membrane
has more than one type
of molecule
(phospholipids &
proteins)
Functions of the Cell
Membrane
• Selectively permeable
- regulates what enters
and leaves the cell.
This helps maintain
homeostasis
• Gives the cell
(cytoplasm) shape

Structures (organelles)
found in EUKARYOTIC
cells
Fill It In …
Organelle means …
1. Nucleus
• Nucleus - surrounds
the chromosomes for
additional protection;
is made of a
phospholipid bilayer
2. Mitochondria
• Mitochondria - site of
cellular respiration which
produces cell energy (ATP)
• Active cells (muscle) -> hundreds of
mitochondria
• Inactive cells (fat) -> few mitochondria
• Structure contains folded
membranes which increases
surface area allowing more
space for more reactions
3. Vacuole
• Vacuoles - store food,
waste or water to be
used inside the cell or
excreted from the cell.
• Size differs in plant vs.
animal cells
• Much, much larger in
plant cells … why?
4. Lysosomes
• Lysosomes - contain
digestive enzymes
which digest food
contained in vacuoles
as well as old or
damaged cell parts
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum
(ER)
• ER - a series of
interconnected
folded membranes
that function in
modifying
(changing) proteins,
detoxification of
alcohols, and
communication
Two Types of ER
• Rough ER
• Covered in
ribosomes
• Modify proteins
Two Types of ER
• Smooth ER
• Lacks ribosomes
• Detoxification
6. Golgi Complex
• Golgi Complex
- packages
materials for
export from cells
Plant Cell
versus
Animal Cell
Structures found ONLY in plant
and plant-like cells
• Chloroplasts organelles full of
chlorophyll that are the
site of photosynthesis
which produces sugars
(C6H12O6)
• Composed of folded
membranes for more
surface area
Structures found ONLY in plant
and plant-like cells
• Cell Wall provides extra
support, protection,
and shape for the
cell
• Found outside the
cell membrane and
made of cellulose
Structure found ONLY in animal
cells
• Centrioles organelle that
helps with cell
division in
animal cells
