History & Discovery of Cells
• Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (pond water 1600’s)
• Robert Hooke (Cork Cells, 1665)
• Robert Brown (Nucleus, 1833)
• Matthias Schleiden (Plant Cells, 1838)
• Theodor Schwann (Animal Cells, 1839)• Rudolf Virchow(All Cells arise from other cells)
• Cell Theory: 3 aspects
• Below is a list of the most common units of length biologists use (metric)

Biological Size and Cell Diversity (Pg. 95) Human Eye: 1mm - meter+
LM: 1m – 1mm
EM: 1nm – 1mm

Cytology: science/study of cells• Light microscopy• resolving power~ measure of clarity• Electron microscopy (2 types)
•TEM~ electron beam to study cell ultrastructure
•SEM~ electron beam to study cell surfaces
• Cell fractionation~ cell separation; organelle study• Ultracentrifuges~ cell fractionation; 130,000 rpm
Cell Fractionation-Pg 97Cell Fractionation-Pg 97
Cell Fractionation
• Physically separates and purifies cell parts
• Spun in a centrifuge (up to 500,000 rpm)
• Two fractions: supernatant & pellet
• Differential: successively at higher speeds
• Density gradient: forms bands in tube according to density differences of organelles
Cell Size
• Is it more advantageous to be a single cell that is large or to be broken down into several small cells ?
(Explain your answer)
• A small cell has a greater ratio of surface area to volume than a large cell of the same shape
30 µm 10 µm
Surface areaof one large cube= 5,400 µm2
Total surface areaof 27 small cubes= 16,200 µm2Figure 4.3
Cell size - (surface area:volume)
• As cell size increases, the surface area to volume ratio decreases (sa/vol)
• Rates of chemical exchange may then be inadequate for cell size
• Cell size, therefore, remains small
• At minimum, a cell must be large enough to house the parts it needs to survive and reproduce
• The maximum size of a cell is limited by the amount of surface needed to obtain nutrients from the environment and dispose of wastes
Natural laws limit cell size
The Prokaryotic Cell-(See Fig. pg 98)(Also See Pages 534-547 in Ch. 27)
• Characteristics include:– No true distinct nucleus – Have a “Nucleoid” region = DNA & Plasmids– No complex, membranous organelles (Ribosomes only)– Most have rigid cell walls – Flagella (rotary type structure & not composed
w/microtubules)– Some have pigments (autotrophic)– Classified according to their metabolic needs– Eubacteria & Archeabacteria– Some have sticky capsules, pili, peptidoglycan,
Endospores– Asexually Reproduce: Binary Fission, Budding,
Fragmentation– Genetic Material Can be exchanged by 3 mechanisms:
– Transformation, Transduction, and Conjugation

• •ER products are modified, stored, and then shipped
• Cisternae: flattened membranous sacs
• trans face (shipping) & cis face (receiving)
• Transport vesicles
• The Golgi apparatus consists of stacks of membranous sacs – These receive and modify ER products, then
send them on to other organelles or to the cell membrane

The Cytoskeleton
• Microfilaments of actin enable cells to change shape and move
• Intermediate filaments reinforce the cell and anchor certain organelles
• Microtubules – give the cell rigidity– provide anchors for organelles– act as tracks for organelle movement
Cytoskeletal Movement(Polymerization & De-polymerization)
Centrosomes/Centrioles (pg. 114)• Centrosome: region near nucleus• Centrioles: 9 sets of triplet microtubules in a ring;
(used in cell replication; only in animal cells)
Cilia/Flagella (pg. 115-116)
-Locomotive appendages-Ultrastructure: “9+2” (9 doublets of microtubules in a ring) (2 single microtubules in center)-Connected by radial spoke-Anchored by basal body (nine triplets of microtubules)
-Dynein arm proteins (red)
• Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are locomotor appendages that protrude from certain cells
• A cilia or flagellum is composed of a core of microtubules wrapped in an extension of the plasma membrane
Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend

(cell communication?)
• Animal cells are embedded in an extracellular matrix
– It is a sticky layer of glycoproteins– It binds cells together in tissues – It can also have protective and supportive
functions
Intracellular Junctions (pg. 121)
• PLANTS:• Plasmodesmata:
cell wall perforations; water and solute passage in plants
• ANIMALS:• Tight junctions~ fusion of
neighboring cells; prevents leakage between cells
• Desmosomes~ riveted, anchoring junction; strong sheets of cells
• Gap junctions~ cytoplasmic channels; allows passage of materials or current between cells

wall produced first •middle lamella of pectin
(polysaccharide)-Holds cells together •some plants have a
secondary cell wall; strong durable matrix; wood
(between plasma membrane and primary wall)
