Introduction

• Cells have a cytoskeleton that

• provides support and

• allows some cells to crawl and others to swim.

• Our understanding of nature often goes hand in

hand with the invention and refinement of

instruments that extend our senses.

Introduction

• In 1665, Hooke examined a piece of cork under a

crude microscope and identified “little rooms” as

cells.

• Leeuwenhoek, working at about the same time,

used more refined lenses to describe living cells

from blood, sperm, and pond water.

• Since the days of Hooke and Leeuwenhoek,

improved microscopes have vastly expanded our

view of the cell.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CELL

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• A variety of microscopes have been developed for

a clearer view of cells and cellular structure.

• The first microscopes were light microscopes. In a

light microscope (LM), visible light passes

through a specimen, then through glass lenses,

and finally is projected into the viewer’s eye.

• Specimens can be magnified by up to 1,000 times.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• Magnification is the increase in an object’s image

size compared with its actual size.

• Resolution is a measure of the clarity of an image.

In other words, it is the ability of an instrument to

show two nearby objects as separate.

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• Microscopes have limitations.

• The human eye and the microscope have limits of

resolution—the ability to distinguish between small

structures.

• Therefore, the light microscope cannot provide the

details of a small cell’s structure.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• Using light microscopes, scientists studied

• microorganisms,

• animal and plant cells, and

• some structures within cells.

• In the 1800s, these studies led to cell theory,

which states that

• all living things are composed of cells and

• all cells come from other cells.

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• Beginning in the 1950s, scientists started using a

very powerful microscope called the electron

microscope (EM) to view the ultrastructure of

cells.

• Instead of light, EM uses a beam of electrons.

• Electron microscopes can

• resolve biological structures as small as 2

nanometers and

• magnify up to 100,000 times.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.1 Microscopes reveal the world of the cell

• Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) study

the detailed architecture of cell surfaces.

• Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs)

study the details of internal cell structure.

• Differential interference light microscopes amplify

differences in density so that structures in living

cells appear almost three-dimensional.

4.2 The small size of cells relates to the need to exchange materials across the plasma membrane

• Cell size must

• be large enough to house DNA, proteins, and

structures needed to survive and reproduce, but

• remain small enough to allow for a surface-to-

volume ratio that will allow adequate exchange with

the environment.

4.2 The small size of cells relates to the need to exchange materials across the plasma membrane

• The plasma membrane forms a flexible boundary

between the living cell and its surroundings.

• Phospholipids form a two-layer sheet called a

phospholipid bilayer in which

• hydrophilic heads face outward, exposed to water,

and

• hydrophobic tails point inward, shielded from water.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.2 The small size of cells relates to the need to exchange materials across the plasma membrane

• Membrane proteins are embedded in the lipid

bilayer.

• Some proteins form channels (tunnels) that shield

ions and other hydrophilic molecules as they pass

through the hydrophobic center of the membrane.

• Other proteins serve as pumps, using energy to

actively transport molecules into or out of the cell.

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells

• Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic cells.

• All other forms of life are composed of eukaryotic

cells.

• Eukaryotic cells are distinguished by having

• a membrane-enclosed nucleus and

• many membrane-enclosed organelles that perform

specific functions.

• Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler in

structure.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells

• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have

• a plasma membrane,

• an interior filled with a thick, jellylike fluid called the

cytosol,

• one or more chromosomes, which carry genes

made of DNA, and

• ribosomes, tiny structures that make proteins

according to instructions from the genes.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells

• The inside of both types of cells is called the

cytoplasm.

• However, in eukaryotic cells, this term refers only

to the region between the nucleus and the plasma

membrane.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells

• In a prokaryotic cell,

• the DNA is coiled into a region called the nucleoid

(nucleus-like) and

• no membrane surrounds the DNA.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.3 Prokaryotic cells are structurally simpler than eukaryotic cells

• Outside the plasma membrane of most prokaryotes

is a fairly rigid, chemically complex cell wall, which

• protects the cell and

• helps maintain its shape.

• Some prokaryotes have surface projections.

• Short projections help attach prokaryotes to each

other or their substrate.

• Longer projections called flagella (singular,

flagellum) propel a prokaryotic cell through its liquid

environment.

4.4 Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments

• A eukaryotic cell contains

• a membrane-enclosed nucleus and

• various other organelles (“little organs”), which

perform specific functions in the cell.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.4 Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments

• The structures and organelles of eukaryotic cells

perform four basic functions.

1. The nucleus and ribosomes are involved in the

genetic control of the cell.

2. The endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus,

lysosomes, vacuoles, and peroxisomes are

involved in the manufacture, distribution, and

breakdown of molecules.

of cells, occurs within organelles.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.4 Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments

• Almost all of the organelles and other structures of

animals cells are present in plant cells.

• A few exceptions exist.

• Lysosomes and centrosomes containing centrioles

are not found in plant cells.

• Only the sperm cells of a few plant species have

flagella.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.4 Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments

• Plant but not animal cells have

• a rigid cell wall that contains cellulose,

• plasmodesmata, cytoplasmic channels through cell

walls that connect adjacent cells,

• chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, and

• a central vacuole, a compartment that stores water

and a variety of chemicals.

THE NUCLEUS AND RIBOSOMES

4.5 The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic instructions

• The nucleus

• contains most of the cell’s DNA and

• controls the cell’s activities by directing protein

synthesis by making messenger RNA (mRNA).

• DNA is associated with many proteins and is

organized into structures called chromosomes.

• When a cell is not dividing, this complex of proteins

and DNA, called chromatin, appears as a diffuse

mass within the nucleus.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.5 The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic instructions

• The double membrane nuclear envelope has

pores that

• regulate the entry and exit of large molecules and

• connect with the cell’s network of membranes

called the endoplasmic reticulum.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.5 The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic instructions

• The nucleolus is

• a prominent structure in the nucleus and

• the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.

4.6 Ribosomes make proteins for use in the cell and export

• Ribosomes are involved in the cell’s protein

synthesis.

• Ribosomes are the cellular components that use

instructions from the nucleus, written in mRNA, to

build proteins.

• Cells that make a lot of proteins have a large

number of ribosomes.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.6 Ribosomes make proteins for use in the cell and export

• Some ribosomes are free ribosomes; others are

bound.

• Free ribosomes are suspended in the cytosol.

• Bound ribosomes are attached to the outside of the

endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear envelope.

THE ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM

4.7 Many organelles are connected in the endomembrane system

• Many of the membranes within a eukaryotic cell

are part of the endomembrane system.

• Some of these membranes are physically

connected, and others are linked when tiny

vesicles (sacs made of membrane) transfer

membrane segments between them.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.7 Many organelles are connected in the endomembrane system

• Many of these organelles interact in the

• synthesis,

• distribution,

• storage, and

• export of molecules.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.7 Many organelles are connected in the endomembrane system

• The endomembrane system includes the

• nuclear envelope,

• endoplasmic reticulum (ER),

• Golgi apparatus,

• lysosomes,

• vacuoles, and

• plasma membrane.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.7 Many organelles are connected in the endomembrane system

• The largest component of the endomembrane

system is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an

extensive network of flattened sacs and tubules.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.8 The endoplasmic reticulum is a biosynthetic workshop

• There are two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum,

which differ in structure and function.

1. Smooth ER lacks attached ribosomes.

2. Rough ER has bound ribosomes that stud the

outer surface of the membrane.

• Smooth ER is involved in a variety of metabolic

processes, including

• the production of enzymes important in the

synthesis of lipids, oils, phospholipids, and steroids,

• the production of enzymes that help process drugs,

alcohol, and other potentially harmful substances,

and

4.9 The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and ships cell products

• The Golgi apparatus serves as a molecular

warehouse and processing station for products

manufactured by the ER.

• Products travel in transport vesicles from the ER to

the Golgi apparatus.

• One side of the Golgi stack serves as a receiving

dock for transport vesicles produced by the ER.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.9 The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and ships cell products

• Products of the ER are modified as a Golgi sac

progresses through the stack.

• The “shipping” side of the Golgi functions as a

depot, where products in vesicles bud off and travel

to other sites.

4.13 Mitochondria harvest chemical energy from food

• Mitochondria have two internal compartments.

1. The intermembrane space is the narrow region

between the inner and outer membranes.

2. The mitochondrial matrix contains

• the mitochondrial DNA,

• ribosomes, and

• many enzymes that catalyze some of the reactions

of cellular respiration.

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.13 Mitochondria harvest chemical energy from food

THE CYTOSKELETON AND

CELL SURFACES

4.16 The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its structure and activities

• Cells contain a network of protein fibers, called the

cytoskeleton, which organize the structures and

activities of the cell.

4.16 The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its structure and activities

• Microtubules (made of tubulin)

• shape and support the cell and

• act as tracks along which organelles equipped with

motor proteins move.

• In animal cells, microtubules grow out from a

region near the nucleus called the centrosome,

which contains a pair of centrioles, each composed

of a ring of microtubules.

4.16 The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its structure and activities

• Intermediate filaments

• are found in the cells of most animals,

• reinforce cell shape and anchor some organelles,

and

• are often more permanent fixtures in the cell.

4.17 SCIENTIFIC THINKING: Scientists discovered the cytoskeleton using the tools of biochemistry and microscopy

• In the 1940s, biochemists first isolated and

identified the proteins actin and myosin from

muscle cells.

• In 1954, scientists, using newly developed

techniques of microscopy, established how

filaments of actin and myosin interact in muscle

contraction.

• In the next decade, researchers identified actin

filaments in all types of cells.

4.17 SCIENTIFIC THINKING: Scientists discovered the cytoskeleton using the tools of biochemistry and microscopy

• In the 1970s, scientists were able to visualize actin

filaments using fluorescent tags and in living cells.

• In the 1980s, biologists were able to record the

changing architecture of the cytoskeleton.

4.18 Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend

• The short, numerous appendages that propel

protists such as Paramecium are called cilia

(singular, cilium).

• Other protists may move using flagella, which are

longer than cilia and usually limited to one or a few

per cell.

• Some cells of multicellular organisms also have

cilia or flagella.

of microtubules.

• This arrangement is called the 9 2 pattern.

• The microtubule assembly is anchored in a basal

body with nine microtubule triplets arranged in a

ring.

4.18 Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend

• Cilia and flagella move by bending motor proteins

called dynein feet.

• These feet attach to and exert a sliding force on an

adjacent doublet.

• This “walking” causes the microtubules to bend.

4.19 The extracellular matrix of animal cells functions in support and regulation

• Animal cells synthesize and secrete an elaborate

extracellular matrix (ECM), which

• helps hold cells together in tissues and

• protects and supports the plasma membrane.

4.19 The extracellular matrix of animal cells functions in support and regulation

• The ECM may attach to the cell through other

glycoproteins that then bind to membrane proteins

called integrins.

• Integrins

• span the membrane and

• attach on the other side to proteins connected to

microfilaments of the cytoskeleton.

4.20 Three types of cell junctions are found in animal tissues

• Adjacent cells adhere, interact, and communicate

through specialized junctions between them.

• Tight junctions prevent leakage of fluid across a

layer of epithelial cells.

• Anchoring junctions fasten cells together into

sheets.

• Gap junctions are channels that allow small

molecules to flow through protein-lined pores

between cells.

4.21 Cell walls enclose and support plant cells

• A plant cell, but not an animal cell, has a rigid cell

wall that

• protects and provides skeletal support that helps

keep the plant upright and

• is primarily composed of cellulose.

• Plant cells have cell junctions called

plasmodesmata that allow plants tissues to share

• water,

• nourishment, and

• chemical messages.

4.22 Review: Eukaryotic cell structures can be grouped on the basis of four main functions

• Eukaryotic cell structures can be grouped on the

basis of four functions:

1. genetic control,

2. manufacturing, distribution, and breakdown of

materials,

3. energy processing, and

4. structural support, movement, and intercellular

communication.
