Basic Cell Structures & Types Gibson – Biology Fall 2011 The Cell Theory (p.170) • All living things are made up of “cells” • “Cells” are the basic units of structure and function (for all living things); • New “cells” are produced from existing “cells”. “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Cell membrane – a thin, flexible barrier around a cell that separates it from the surrounding environment. “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Cell wall – for some types of cells… a strong layer around the cell membrane that adds support and structure. “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Cell nucleus – for some types of cells… a relatively large structure that contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities. “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Cell nucleoid – for some types of cells… a relatively large AREA that contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities (there is NO “structure” just an area). “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Cytoplasm – for all types of cells… the waterrich “jello-like” material in which the nucleus (if there is one), the ribosomes (all cells have these), and the organelles (if there are any) “float” inside the cell. “Basic” Cell Structures (p.171) • Regarding cell structures so far; you may have noticed a)…some of the slides said: “some types of cells have this….” and; b)… some slides said: “some types of cells don’t have this…”. • What we are going to do is review the cell structures so far with respect to these “types” of cells. “Basic” Cell Types (p.172) • Prokaryotes (pronounced: PRO-care-ee-oats) • Eukaryotes (pronounced: YOU-care-ee-oats) “Basic” Cell Types Prokaryotes Cell Structure (p.172) Eukaryotes “Basic” Cell Types Prokaryotes Cell Structure Cell Membrane (p.172) Eukaryotes “Basic” Cell Types Prokaryotes Cell Structure Cell Membrane A thin flexible barrier around the cell.
