Discovery of the Cell• Scientists did not start using simple compound

microscopes until the mid 1600’s.• Robert Hooke used an early compound microscope

to look at slices of cork.

• Hooke named the ‘seemingly empty’ chambers ‘cells.’

• Around the same time, Anton von Leeuwenhoek was using a single-lens microscope to observe unicellular organisms in pond water for the first time.

Cell Theory

•Additional observations of cells in other living things led scientists to 3 basic conclusions, known as the cell theory.

•Cell Theory states:▫All living things are composed of cells.▫Cells are the basic units of structure and

function in living things.▫New cells are produced from existing cells.

There are two categories of cells……

•Prokaryotes▫No nucleus▫Few organelles▫Small in size

▫Ex: Bacteria

EukaryotesEukaryotes– NucleusNucleus– Many Many

organellesorganelles– Large in sizeLarge in size– Ex: Humans, Ex: Humans,

plants, fungi, plants, fungi, etc.etc.

Cell Structure

•All cells, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, have DNA and a cell membrane.

•Cells also contain organelles – specialized structures within the cell that perform certain tasks.

•These organelles float around in the cell’s cytoplasm, which is mostly made of water.

Prokaryotes…….they’re simple.•Prokaryotes only have a

few basic structures:▫DNA▫Cell/plasma membrane▫Cell wall▫Ribosomes

▫Some use structures like pili, cilia, and flagellum to move in aquatic environments. http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2006/11/cell_structure.php

….but they come in many varieties.

Eukaryotes are more complex.

•Eukaryotes can be multicellular or unicellular.

•Eukaryotes contain many organelles…….

Do you know your Organelles?

Cell (plasma) membrane

•Regulates what materials enter and leave the cell.

Page 11: Cell Theory and Structure. Discovery of the Cell Scientists did not start using simple compound microscopes until the mid 1600’s. Robert Hooke used an.

Nucleus

• Controls most cell processes and contains nearly all of the cell’s DNA

Page 12: Cell Theory and Structure. Discovery of the Cell Scientists did not start using simple compound microscopes until the mid 1600’s. Robert Hooke used an.

Ribosomes

• assemble proteins.▫ Some are free floating while others are attached to the

endoplasmic reticulum.

Page 13: Cell Theory and Structure. Discovery of the Cell Scientists did not start using simple compound microscopes until the mid 1600’s. Robert Hooke used an.

• There are two types:▫ Rough – chemically modifies proteins that are produced

by the ribosomes on its surface.▫ Smooth – contains specialized enzymes and makes lipid

components for the cell membrane.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Page 14: Cell Theory and Structure. Discovery of the Cell Scientists did not start using simple compound microscopes until the mid 1600’s. Robert Hooke used an.

•Sorts, modifies, and/or packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage or secretion from the cell.

Golgi apparatus

Page 15: Cell Theory and Structure. Discovery of the Cell Scientists did not start using simple compound microscopes until the mid 1600’s. Robert Hooke used an.

• Lysosomes contain enzymes that are specialized to digest lipids, carbs, proteins so their monomers can be reused

• Peroxisomess contain enzymes that are specialized to digest toxic substances

Lysosomes and peroxisomes

Cytoskeleton

•A network of protein filaments (microtubules and microfilaments) that help the cell move and maintain its shape

•Provides the cell with usable chemical energy ▫It is the site of cellular respiration.

Mitochondria

How are they different?

Plant cells have special features…..•Plants contain:

▫Chloroplasts – create and store usable energy through the process of photosynthesis.

▫Cell wall – provides the cell with rigid structure.

▫1 Large vacuole – used for the storage of water and some other materials Animal cells usually have many small

vacuoles

Some organelles have their own DNA….•Only two organelles have their own DNA –

mitochondria and chloroplasts.•Endosymbiotic Theory – suggests that

mitochondria and chloroplasts are the decendents of ancient prokaryotes that developed symbiotic relationships with ancient cells.
