Cell Structure and Function
Discovery of Cells

Hooke (1665)


Leeuwenhoek (1674)


Observed plant cells, discovered the
importance of the nucleus.
Schwann (1839)


Observed the first living cells
Schleiden (1838)


Examined cork cells
Concluded that all living things are made
of cells
Virchow (1855)

Proposed that all cells come from other
cells

Father of Modern Pathology
Cell Theory



All organisms are made of
cells.
All existing cells are
produced by other living
cells.
The cell is the most basic unit
of life.
Cell Types

Prokaryotic

Do not have a nucleus
or other membranebound organelles.

DNA is suspended in
cytoplasm.

All prokaryotes are
microscopic singlecelled organisms.

ex. bacteria and
archaea
Cell Types

Eukaryotes

Have a nucleus and
membrane-bound
organelles

The nucleus, the
largest organelle,
encloses the genetic
information.

May be multicellular
or single-celled
organisms.
Movement in Cells

Flagellum


Cilia


Whip-like structure
common in motile
protists or gametes.
Hair-like organelles
located on the exterior
of some cells
Pseudopods

“fake-feet”; extensions
of cytoplasm, also used
to capture prey
Organelles
Nucleus


Control center of the
cell
Contains material
that forms the genetic
code (DNA)

Present in
eukaryotic cells

Both plant and
animal cells
Parts of the Nucleus

Nucleolus


Nuclear membrane (envelope)


Controls what enters and
leaves the nucleus
Nucleoplasm


Involved in cell division and
ribosome synthesis
Inside the nuclear membrane
(goo)
Chromosome (chromatin)

Carry the code (DNA) that
controls the cell
Cell (plasma) Membrane

Controls substances that enter and leave the cell.

Semi-permeable

Made of a phospholipid bi-layer

Both plant and animal cells
Outside
of cell
Proteins
Carbohydrate
chains
Cell
membrane
Inside
of cell
(cytoplasm)
Protein
channel
Lipid bilayer
Cytoplasm

Contains a variety of cell
structures and dissolved
ions


Provides a medium
for cell reactions to
take place
Matrix between the cell
membrane and the
nuclear membrane
includes protoplasm and
organelles

Both plant and
animal
Endoplasmic Reticulum



Both plant and animal
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum (RER)

Has ribosomes
on its surface.

Makes proteins
for EXPORT
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum (SER)

No ribosomes

Makes proteins
to be used IN
the cell
Ribosomes


Located on the RER and throughout the
cytoplasm
Site of protein synthesis

Both plant and animal
Centrioles

Animal cells only

Involved in cell division


Spindle formation
Located near the nucleus
Mitochondria


Site of cellular
respiration

Releases
energy for the
cell in the form
of ATP

Has its own
DNA passed
from mother to
child
In both plant and
animal cells
Golgi Apparatus

Stores and packages
information

It receives proteins
made by the
endoplasmic
reticulum in one
end, modifies them,
and ships them out
the other end.

Cisternae—stacks
of membranous
sacs

In both plant and
animal cells
Lysosome



Found only in animal cells
Packages of digestive
enzymes that break down
nutrients into smaller
chemicals.
Self-destruct mechanism

Will break down food
and worn out cell
parts

Programmed for cell
death

Will “lyse”--break
open and recycle cell
parts
Vacuole


Stores water and
dissolved materials

In plants very
large (central
vacuole)

In animals small
or nonexistant
Contractile vacuole

Some protists
can force water
out of the vacuole
and use it for
movement.
Cytoskeleton

Supporting matrix of
protein fibers

Maintains cell
shape and acts as
a scaffold on
which organelles
are attached

Composed of
microfilaments and
microtubules

In both plant
and animal
cells
These animal cells are stained to show
the cytoskeleton. microtubules (green),
microfilaments (red), and nuclei (blue).
Cell Wall


In plants only
Provides shape and
support

Made of cellulose

Undigestable
carbohydrate,
fiber
Chloroplasts

In plants only

Contains chlorophyll

Traps light used in
making food
(carbohydrate)
through the
process of
photosynthesis
Leucoplasts and Chromoplasts

In plants only

Leucoplasts


Store food such
as starch,
proteins, and
lipids
Chromoplasts

Give color to
flowers and
leaves
