Overview: The Fundamental Units of Life
• All organisms are made of cells
• The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can live
• Cell structure is correlated to cellular function
• All cells are related by their descent from earlier cells

• Two basic types of electron microscopes (EMs) are used to study subcellular structures
• Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen, providing images that look 3-D
• Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) focus a beam of electrons through a specimen
• TEMs are used mainly to study the internal structure of cells

• The basic structural and functional unit of every organism is one of two types of cells: prokaryotic or eukaryotic
• Only organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea consist of prokaryotic cells
• Protists, fungi, animals, and plants all consist of eukaryotic cells
![Page 15: Three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The structure and function of organelles common to plant and animal cells. The structure and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649efc5503460f94c0ff03/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Eukaryotic cells are characterized by having
– DNA in a nucleus that is bounded by a membranous nuclear envelope
– Membrane-bound organelles
– Cytoplasm in the region between the plasma membrane and nucleus
• Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells

• The logistics of carrying out cellular metabolism sets limits on the size of cells
• The surface area to volume ratio of a cell is critical
• As the surface area increases by a factor of n2, the volume increases by a factor of n3
• Small cells have a greater surface area relative to volume

Components of the Cytoskeleton
• Three main types of fibers make up the cytoskeleton:
– Microtubules are the thickest of the three components of the cytoskeleton
– Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are the thinnest components
– Intermediate filaments are fibers with diameters in a middle range

Microtubules
• Microtubules are hollow rods about 25 nm in diameter and about 200 nm to 25 microns long
• Functions of microtubules:
– Shaping the cell
– Guiding movement of organelles
– Separating chromosomes during cell division

Centrosomes and Centrioles
• In many cells, microtubules grow out from a centrosome near the nucleus
• The centrosome is a “microtubule-organizing center”
• In animal cells, the centrosome has a pair of centrioles, each with nine triplets of microtubules arranged in a ring
• Animal cells

Cilia and Flagella
• Microtubules control the beating of cilia and flagella, locomotor appendages of some cells
• Cilia and flagella differ in their beating patterns

Intermediate Filaments
• Intermediate filaments range in diameter from 8–12 nanometers, larger than microfilaments but smaller than microtubules
• They support cell shape and fix organelles in place
• Intermediate filaments are more permanent cytoskeleton fixtures than the other two classes

Concept 6.7: Extracellular components and connections between cells help coordinate cellular activities
• Most cells synthesize and secrete materials that are external to the plasma membrane
• These extracellular structures include:
– Cell walls of plants
– The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal cells
– Intercellular junctions
![Page 68: Three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The structure and function of organelles common to plant and animal cells. The structure and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649efc5503460f94c0ff03/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Cell Walls of Plants
• The cell wall is an extracellular structure that distinguishes plant cells from animal cells
• Prokaryotes, fungi, and some protists also have cell walls
• The cell wall protects the plant cell, maintains its shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water
• Plant cell walls are made of cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharides and protein

• Plant cell walls may have multiple layers:
– Primary cell wall: relatively thin and flexible
– Middle lamella: thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells
– Secondary cell wall (in some cells): added between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall
• Plasmodesmata are channels between adjacent plant cells

Intercellular Junctions
• Neighboring cells in tissues, organs, or organ systems often adhere, interact, and communicate through direct physical contact
• Intercellular junctions facilitate this contact
• There are several types of intercellular junctions
– Plasmodesmata
– Tight junctions
– Desmosomes
– Gap junctionsCopyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Plasmodesmata in Plant Cells
• Plasmodesmata are channels that perforate plant cell walls
• Through plasmodesmata, water and small solutes (and sometimes proteins and RNA) can pass from cell to cell

Tight Junctions, Desmosomes, and Gap Junctions in Animal Cells
• At tight junctions, membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid
• Desmosomes (anchoring junctions) fasten cells together into strong sheets
• Gap junctions (communicating junctions) provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells

The Cell: A Living Unit Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts• Cells rely on the integration of structures and organelles in
order to function
• For example, a macrophage’s ability to destroy bacteria involves the whole cell, coordinating components such as the cytoskeleton, lysosomes, and plasma membrane
