Supramolecular Structures: All found in prokaryotic cells & eukaryotic cells, not membrane bound

Page 3: Cell Structure & Function

Cell Membrane or Plasma Membrane• Selective permeability• Communication with the external

environment• Recognition of self vs. non-self

Page 4: Cell Structure & Function

Ribosomes• Site of protein synthesis• Formed from two sub-units (large & small)• Free in cytosol or bound to endoplasmic

reticulum

Page 5: Cell Structure & Function

Cell Wall• Found in all organisms except animals & a

few protista• Made of different macromolecules in

different kingdoms• Protects cell, maintains cell shape, &

prevents excessive water uptake• Allows turgor pressure to develop

Page 6: Cell Structure & Function

Double Membrane Bound Organelles

• These are all prokaryotic in origin.• They have their own DNA and ribosomes• Reproduce by binary fission• Are killed by antibiotics• All easily seen in the light microscope

Page 7: Cell Structure & Function

Mitochondria• Site of cellular respiration

Page 8: Cell Structure & Function

Chloroplast• Site of photosynthesis

Page 9: Cell Structure & Function

Nucleus• Holds DNA• Makes ribosomes in a specialized region

called the nucleolus• Transcribes DNA• Replicates DNA

Page 10: Cell Structure & Function

Endomembrane System

• These structures work together to make, process and transport all macromolecules in a region separate from the cytosol

• Only seen with TEM

Page 11: Cell Structure & Function

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum• Endoplasmic (within the cytoplasm)• Reticulum (little net)• Makes, sequesters and folds proteins for

export or transport• Packages proteins in vesicles to send to the

Golgi Apparatus• Attaches carbohydrates to proteins

Page 12: Cell Structure & Function

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum• Makes and packages

polysaccharides and lipids (with enzymes)

• Packages polysaccharides and lipids in vesicles

• Detoxifies many poisons

Page 13: Cell Structure & Function

Golgi Apparatus

•Receives proteins from the RER and adds oligosaccharides to proteins

•Tags vesicles for proper delivery and sends them out for shipment

Page 14: Cell Structure & Function

Lysosomes•Specialized vesicles made from the golgi that break down old organelles, foreign materials, bacteria and viruses

Page 15: Cell Structure & Function

Cytoskeleton (Broad Category)•Creates internal structure and allows for movement internally and externally

Page 16: Cell Structure & Function

Microtubules•Big tubes•Move chromosomes & vesicles•Provide internal support

Page 17: Cell Structure & Function

Microfilaments

• Small tubes• Move vesicles• Create muscle contractions (actin & myosin)

Page 18: Cell Structure & Function

Centrioles

•Barrel shaped•Anchor spindle fibers•Made of a collection of microtubules

Page 19: Cell Structure & Function

Basal Bodies

•Barrel shaped•Anchor cilia and flagella

•Made of a collection of microtubules

Page 20: Cell Structure & Function

Cilia

•Shorter versions of flagella•Move cells or beat to create currents

•Made of a collection of microtubules

Page 21: Cell Structure & Function

Flagella

•Longer than cilia•Used for the movement of one cell

•Made of a collection of microtubules
