Cell Structure & Function
Cells
► All
living things on Earth are made of cells.
► Cells are the basic unit of structure &
function in living things.
► Living cells come only from other living
cells.
► Cells are so tiny you could fit more than a
million of them on a period at the end of a
sentence.
► You cannot see cells without a microscope.
Cells
► Cells
were named by Robert Hooke.
► 1st scientist to call spaces in cork cells he
observed under the microscope “cells.”
► Comes from the Latin word cella which
means “little rooms”.
► Unicellular: one cell – bacteria.
► Multicellular: many cells –humans have over
200 different types of cells (blood, bone,
skin) and an estimated 100 trillion total
cells.
How Cells Function
► Each
can take in nutrients, convert these
nutrients into energy, carry out specialized
jobs, and reproduce as necessary.
How Cells Work
►Each
cell stores its own set of
instructions for carrying out each of
these activities.
Structure of Cells
►Organelles:
small structures, or
“organs” within cells that perform a
specific function
What’s In a Cell?
► Read
the passage.
► As you answer the question, HIGHLIGHT
the part of the passage that gives evidence
for your answer.
► Bullet form answers are okay, but should be
detailed.
Functions of Organelles
► Each
organelle has a job to do to help the
cell function properly.
► Read about each of the organelles that
follow.
Organelles in Cells
► There
are many organelles in each cell.
► Plant cells have two extra organelles that
animal cells do not have.
Animal Cells:
Cell Membrane
► Cytoplasm
► Nucleus
► Nuclear Membrane
► Ribosomes
► Endoplasmic Reticulum
► Golgi Bodies
► Mitochondria
► Lysosomes

Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Nuclear Membrane
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Bodies
Mitochondria
Lysosomes
Chloroplasts
Cell Wall
Cell Membrane
► Outer
structure that surrounds the cell
► Supports & protects the cell
► Controls movement of materials in and out
of the cell
► Barrier between cell and its environment
Cytoplasm
► Cell’s
environment or inner space
► Made of mostly water
► Contains the organelles
► Site of most cell activity
Nucleus
► The
cell’s computer or brain
► Controls the cell activities
► Contains all the information the cell needs
to do specific jobs, grow, and divide
► Information is stored in DNA molecules
► Contains the nucleolus which makes
ribosomes
► Determines what proteins will be made
Nuclear Membrane
► Protects
and guards the nucleus
► Controls movement of materials in and
out of the nucleus
► Keeps the DNA inside the nucleus
► Allows other materials to pass in and out
of the nucleus
Ribosomes
► Makes
the proteins the cell needs to
survive and grow
► Produces the Protein which is the
Product of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)
► The
transportation system of the cell
► Carries material through cell
► Allows reactions to happen in the cell
► Where the ribosomes do their work
► Rough ER has ribosomes attached to it so
the proteins they make can be released
directly into the ER for transport
► Smooth ER collects things and contains
them
Golgi Bodies
► Packs
& carries the proteins
► Prepares the proteins for use or delivery
outside the cell
Mitochondria
► Cell’s
powerhouse or power generator
► Supplies the energy
► Breaks down sugar molecules into
energy
► Need oxygen to make energy and give
off carbon dioxide as waste
Lysosomes
► Cell’s
recyclers
► Breaks down larger food molecules into
smaller molecules
► Contains enzymes which break down the
proteins
► Digests old cell parts
Chloroplasts
► Plant
cells only
► Power generator for the plant
► Give plants their green color
► Uses energy from the sun to make food for
the plant through photosynthesis
Cell Wall
► Plant
cells only
► Made of cellulose
► Surrounds the cell membrane
► Gives plants their shape, structure, and
protection
► Allows H2O, O2, and CO2, to pass in and out
of the cell
