Transcript of Cell Discovery Unknown before the invention of the microscope – Cells too small to see with eyes...
Cell Discovery
• Unknown before the invention of the microscope– Cells too small to see with eyes
• Robert Hooke– 1665– Simple microscope to look at cork– Looked like “cells” or small rooms
• Anton van Leeuwenhoek– 1685– Designed his own microscope and looked at single celled
organisms
Cell TheoryA summary of experimental findings about cells
1. All living things are composed of one or more cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization of all living organisms
3. Cells arise only from previously existing cells, with cells passing on copies of their genetic material
Prokaryotic Cells
• No organelles– Cellular functions take place anywhere in cell
• No nucleus– Genetic material (DNA) is free floating in cell– DNA is circular
• Single celled • Bacteria
Eukaryotic Cells
• Have organelles– Membrane bound structures– Allows cellular functions to take place in specific places
• Have nucleus– Contains genetic information– DNA is linear
• Multicellular animals or plants• Some unicellular– Yeast and algae
Both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
• Have cell membranes
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

Plasma Membrane
• Separate the cell from the environment
• Selective Permeability– Allows some molecules to
pass through– Keeps some molecules in– Keeps some molecules out
Structure of the Plasma Membrane
• Phospholipid bilayer– Two layers of phospholipids– Water-loving “heads”– Water-hating “tails” – Water soluble substances do
not move through • Transport proteins– Move some things in or out of
the cell– Like tunnels through the
membrane
What else is stuck in the plasma membrane?
• Cholesterol– Maintains fluidity
• Carbohydrates– Help identify cells
Cell Organelles – All Eukaryotes
• Nucleus – Control Center• Ribosomes - Makes proteins• Endoplasmic Reticulum- Makes
proteins• Golgi Apparatus – Packages proteins• Vacuole – Stores cell materials• Mitochondria- Supplies energy to cell• Cell membrane - Flexible boundary
Eukaryotic Cell Structures Found….
Only in Animal Cells
• Lysosome– Digestive enzymes
• Centriole– Plays a role in cell
division
Only in Plant Cells
• Cell Wall– Inflexible barrier
• Chloroplast– Where photosynthesis
takes place
Cell Organelles
Cell Membrane• Phospholipid bilayer• Barrier• Selective permeability
Cytoplasm• “Insides” of the cell• Semi fluid
Cell Organelles
Cytoskeleton• Supports organelles• Protein • Helps transport cell
products
Nucleus• Contains DNA• Double membrane
Cell Organelles
Ribosomes• Produce protein• Made of RNA and
protein• Float free or attached to
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum• Synthesizes
macromolecules• Rough – has ribosomes
attached• Smooth – no ribosomes
Cell Organelles
Golgi Apparatus• Modifies proteins• Packages proteins for
transport out of cell
Mitochondria• Produces energy for the
cell • Breaks down
polysaccharides
Cell Organelles
Lysosome• Digests foreign invaders• Recycles cell products
Vacuole• Storage of cell products• Storage of waste
products• Plants have a large
vacuole
Cell Organelles
Chloroplast• Plants only• Site of photosynthesis• Gives plants green color
Cell Wall• Plants only• Gives plants structure• Made of cellulose
