INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF THE CELL
• Using a microscope, Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665
• Cells are the building blocks of all life
• Organisms are either
– Single-celled, such as most bacteria– Multicelled, such as plants, animals

Microscopes provide windows to the world of the cell
The light microscope (LM) enables us to see the overall shape and structure of a cell
![Page 5: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Micrograph: A photograph taken through a microscope.
• LM 109X: The image under the light microscope is 109 times the actual size of the organisms.
• Magnification: Increase in the apparent size of an object.
• Resolving power: Measure of the clarity of an image.
![Page 6: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Electron microscopes (EM) were invented in the 1950s
• They use a beam of electrons instead of light
• The greater resolving power of electron microscopes – allows greater magnification (0.2 nm vs. LM 0.2 µm)– reveals cellular details
• LM remains the major tool to study living organisms because in EM specimen must be held in vacuum.

• Scanning electron microscope (SEM) used to study the detailed architecture of the surface of a cell
![Page 8: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Transmission electron microscope (TEM) is useful for exploring the internal structure of a cell
![Page 9: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• 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 countless cells on earth fall into two categories
The Two Major Categories of Cells
– Prokaryotic cells– Eukaryotic cells
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in several respects
![Page 12: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Prokaryotic cells
– Are smaller than eukaryotic cells and are simple– Lack internal structures surrounded by membranes– Lack a nucleus
![Page 13: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• A prokaryotic cell is enclosed by a plasma membrane (protects & shape of the cell) and is usually encased in a rigid cell wall (further protection)
– The cell wall may be covered by a sticky capsule (help glue prok. to surfaces)
– Inside the cell are its DNA and other parts
![Page 14: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• All other life forms (such as animals, plants, protists, or fungi) are made up of one or more eukaryotic cells
• These are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells
• Eukaryotes are distinguished by the presence of a true nucleus
Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments
![Page 15: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The plasma membrane controls the cell’s contact with the environment
• The cytoplasm contains organelles
• Many organelles have membranes as boundaries– These compartmentalize the
interior of the cell– This allows the cell to carry
out a variety of activities simultaneously
![Page 16: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• A plant cell has some structures that an animal cell lacks:
– Chloroplasts – A rigid cell wall– Central vacuole
![Page 17: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• The largest organelle is usually the nucleus
• The nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope
• The nucleus is the cellular control center– It contains the DNA that directs the cell’s activities
The nucleus is the cell’s genetic control center
– Genes in the nucleus store information necessary to produce proteins
![Page 18: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The plasma membrane separates the living cell from its nonliving surroundings
MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
• The membranes of cells are composed of
A Fluid Mosaic of Lipids and Proteins
– Lipids– Proteins
![Page 19: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The endomembrane system is a collection of membranous organelles– These organelles manufacture and distribute cell
products– The endomembrane system divides the cell into
compartments– Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is part of the
endomembrane system
Cytoplasm
![Page 20: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The rough ER manufactures membranes• Ribosomes on its surface produce proteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes membrane and proteins
1) Synthesized polypeptide is passed into ER
2) Sugars attach to polypeptides forming glycoprotein
3) ER packages it in tinny sacs called transport vesicles
4) It buds off from the ER & secretory vesicles travel to Golgi apparatus.
• The “roughness” of the rough ER is due to ribosomes that stud the outside of the ER membrane
![Page 21: CHAPTER 4 A Tour of the Cell By Dr. Par Mohammadian Overview: Microscopes Cells Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Animal Cells Plants Cells Cell Junctions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e705503460f94b6e530/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
