Cell Theory
(based on 200+ years of discoveries)
• A. all living things are composed of cells
• B. cells are the basic unit of structure &
function of all living things
• C. new cells are produced from existing
cells
Cell Types
 Prokaryotic cells =
 smallest, no true nucleus,
ribosomes only
 Ex: bacteria
• Eukaryotic cells =
– large, multicellular, true nucleus,
many specialized organelles
– ex: protists, fungi, plants & animals
• 1. Nucleus =
• directs cell activities
• a) N. Envelope
(with pores)
outer boundary
• b) Chromosomes =
(contain DNA)
carry genetic code
• c) Nucleolus
(contain RNA)
produces ribosomes
chromatin
• 2. Endoplasmic reticulum =
an interconnecting system of “pathways,”
for transport
May be Rough ER
(with ribosomes)
or Smooth ER
(without ribosomes)
• 3. Ribosomes =
small bodies on ER
to produce protein
4. Golgi =
flattened compartments with vesicles
for secretion (packaging & shipping)
5. Lysosomes = small filled sacs,
for digestion
6. Vacuoles = large, “hollow” sacs
(in plants)
for storing liquids
7. Mitochondria = rod-shaped with folds,
for releasing energy (ATP) by respiration
8. Chloroplasts = oval with green pigment
for making food by photosynthesis
9. Cytoskeleton = hollow fibers
• for support & shape
• to move cytoplasm
10. Plasma Membrane –
outer boundary of cytoplasm
Semipermiable
(only certain molecules enter & leave)
Outside
of cell
Proteins
Carbohydrate
chains

Inside
of cell
(cytoplasm)
Protein
channel
Lipid bilayer
a. Phospholipid bilayer
• a double layer that is an effective barrier for
most molecules
• 1) Hydrophobic =
“water fearing”
center tails prevent
most things from
entering
• 2) Hydrophilic =
“water loving”
heads attract
water to edges
of membrane
b. Embedded Proteins
• 1) Channels
“gates” to interior for transporting into & out of
cytoplasm
• 2) Receptors
“windows” for gathering information about cell
surroundings
• 3) Markers
“name tags” that identify type of cell to others
Passive or Active transport?
current
(Concentration gradient)
Passive vs Active transport:
which requires energy output?

c. Types of passive transport
• 1) Diffusion
• random spread of
molecules from
higher to lower
concentration
• Examples?
• 2) Osmosis
• Diffusion of
water through a
membrane
• Examples?
3) Types of osmotic solutions
• a) Hypertonic
• More solutes = less water = water moves
out & cell shrinks
• b) Hypotonic
• Less solutes = more water = water moves
in & cell expands
• c) Isotonic
• Equal solutes & water, so equal movement
of water & cell is stable

4. Types of Active Transport
• a. Endocytosis
• cell brings particles into cytoplasm
• 1) Pinocytosis
• small particles
(liquids) are
brought in by
vesicles
• 2) Phagocytosis
• large particles
(food or bacteria)
are surrounded &
engulfed by cell
membrane
• Examples = an
ameba feeding &
• a white blood cell
destroying an
invader
• b. Exocytosis
cell deposits
particles outside
of cytoplasm
• 1) Secretion = cell products given off
• 2) Excretion = wastes products given off
