Slide 6 Robert Hooke discovered and named cells while observing cork (1670) Slide 7 Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1680?) Dutch fabric merchant and amateur scientistDutch fabric merchant and amateur scientist observed living cells; called some 'animalcules'observed living cells; called some 'animalcules' Slide 8 Matthias Schleiden (1838) German botanist German botanist discovered that plants are made of cells discovered that plants are made of cells Slide 9 Theodor Schwann (1839) German zoologist German zoologist discovered that animals are made of cells discovered that animals are made of cells Slide 10 Rudolph Virchow (1855) German physician German physician stated that all living cells come only from other living cells stated that all living cells come only from other living cells Slide 11 These discoveries are summarized in the cell theory. The cell theory states: All living things are made up of cells. All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. New cells are produced from existing cells. New cells are produced from existing cells. Slide 12 Cell theory Cell theory the cell is the most fundamental and common unit of living organisms; therefore, the definition of life is the presence of cells. Slide 13 Pro- vs. eukaryotic cells pro- before Eu true Karyote kernel or Nucleus Prokaryote no membrane bound nucleus Eukaryote true nucleus Slide 14 A Tour of the Cell Cells are the basic unit of all living things. Cells possess a plasma membrane, organelles and cytoplasm Cytoplasm semifluid substance inside the cell membrane, between organelles Slide 15 Cell Size Cell size and shape is related to function Nerve cells can be 1 meter long Ostrich eggs are the largest single cell The largest animal and plant cells are 100 m while the smallest cells are 10 m Prokaryotic cells are between 2 and 8 m Slide 16 Cell Size Limits Surface Area : Volume Ratio limits cell size A cell must absorb all nutrients and excrete all wastes through the membrane surrounding it The more volume a cell has the more it must move across the membrane As a cell grows the volume increases faster then the surface area (size of membrane) Slide 17 Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotic cells have no clearly defined nucleus, but do have a nucleoid region The nucleoid region is a coiled loop of DNA, but isnt contained in a membrane Ribosomes are used to make proteins Slide 18 Prokaryotic Cells A bacterial cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane Some prokaryotes have a sticky layer called a capsule surrounding the wall Pili may attach the bacteria to a surface, while some use flagella for motility Slide 19 Eukaryotic Cells Eukaryotic cells are divided into compartments or organelles The nucleus is the most obvious structure in a eukaryotic cell Slide 20 Eukaryotic Cells Most of the cells chemical activities or cellular metabolism are conducted inside the organelles Plant cells contain some additional organelles and a cell wall Slide 21 Nucleus The Nucleus is the genetic control center of a eukaryotic cell. Nuclear DNA is in very long fibers called chromatin Each fiber of chromatin is a chromosome During cell division, chromatin condenses so it is visible Slide 22 Nucleus The nuclear envelope is the membrane that surrounds the nucleus. It contains pores that control the flow of material. The nucleolus is responsible for making ribosomes Slide 23 Endomembrane System Organelles that are formed by interrelated membranes. Endoplasmic Reticulum Network within the Cell Two types smooth and rough Rough ER is covered with ribosomes and is used to produce membranes. Rough ER is also responsible for making proteins that are to be secreted by the cell, such as antibodies. Slide 24 Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus receives molecules from the ER, sorts, packages and ships them to the proper destination. Slide 25 Lysosomes Lysosome (lyse break down, some- body) consist of digestive enzymes in a membranous sac. These are used to digest nutrient particles, bacteria (wbcs) and recycle worn out organelles. Slide 26 Lysosomes Tay-Sachs and Pompes diseases are both caused by a missing gene for an lysosomal enzyme making victims unable to break down certain molecules. Slide 27 Tay-Sach and Pompes Disease http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Seo PF74QSms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Seo PF74QSms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Seo PF74QSms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDl KFFpCnRo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDl KFFpCnRo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDl KFFpCnRo Slide 28 Mitochondria Mitochondria Convert food into usable a form of Energy (ATP) for the cell. Mitochondria are made up of two membranes. The space between the two membranes is the intermembrane space, while the second membrane contains the mitochondrial matrix. . Slide 29 Mitochondria Mitochondria The folds in the inner membrane are cristae. They increase the surface area of the inner membrane. Mitochondria have their own DNA and reproduce on their own resembling a prokaryotic cell. All of your mitochondria are inherited from your mother. Slide 30 Plant Cells Being photosynthetic plants require a few more organelles, including vacuoles and chloroplasts as well as a cell wall. Slide 31 Vacuoles Vacuoles are mainly used for water storage, but can also store starch or other nutrients. Slide 32 Vacuoles By filling with water the central vacoule increases the cells volume putting pressure on the cell wall. This is called turgor pressure and helps to support plants. Plants wilt due to a loss of turgor pressure. Slide 33 Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are the organelle of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are similar to mitochondria in that they have two membranes, but they also contain stacks of disks called grana where chlorophyll traps light energy. Slide 34 Chloroplasts As in mitochondria, chloroplasts have their own DNA and reproduce on their own. Slide 35 Cilia and Flagella These structures are used by cells mainly for movement. Cilia are usually shorter and too numerous to count. Flagella are usually longer and few in number. Slide 36 Cilia and Flagella Trachea cells are lined with cilia that help move foreign objects and mucous out of the lungs. Sperm cells have flagella to make them motile.
