The Cell The cell is the
structural and functional unit of an organism.
It is the smallest structure capable of performing all the functions necessary for life.
![Page 4: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The study of cells The study of cells had its birth with the
invention of the microscope, but it became a product of the 19th century. As biologists became increasingly familiar with the detailed microscopic features of organism they were able to make certain generalizations about cells.
![Page 5: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In the late 1830’s two German biologists, Schleiden ( a botanist) and Schwann, (a zoologists) made similar claims.
They realized that all organisms they were studying were composed of cells. Their
discoveries are now generalized as
“ The cell is the building block of all
organisms.”
![Page 6: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A few years later, Rudolph Virchow added the observation that cells “come from pre-existing cells.”
These two statements comprise what is now known as the Cell Theory.
![Page 7: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cell Theory Cell theory states:
All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism.
All cells come from other cells.
![Page 8: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cell Size Cells are very small. Most cells are between 1
micrometer (1 thousandth of a millimeter) and 100 micrometers.
![Page 9: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cell Size Small cells are advantageous to multicellular
organisms. Nutrients and wastes are passed through the cell
at its surface, therefore the amount of surface area affects the ability to material in and out of the cell.
As cells increase in volume, the proportionate amount of surface area decreases.
Surface Area: 96 cm2 192 cm2 384 cm2
![Page 10: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of Cells There are two overall classifications of
cells: Prokaryotic cells (simple cells)
Do not contain nucleus or membrane enclosed organelles
Found in Bacteria, Archaea Usually exist as single celled organisms (unicellular)
Eukaryotic cells (complex cells) possess nucleus and organelles Contains internal membranes Multicellular organisms
![Page 11: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prokaryotic Cells
![Page 12: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Eukaryotic Cells
![Page 13: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examples of Eukaryotic cells include Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi.
Prokaryotic cells are considered to be less efficient than Eukaryotic cells because the chemical reactions occur all over the cytoplasm rather than in areas of specialization.

Each eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes
A typical human cell has 46 chromosomes, but sex cells (eggs and sperm) have only 23 chromosomes.
![Page 22: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cytoplasm A semifluid (like a gel) medium composed of
water, salts and dissolved organic molecules Contains and supports all the cells
organelles.
![Page 23: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Plasma Membrane
All cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane.
The material inside of a cell is the cytoplasm.
The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits a cell.
![Page 24: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Plasma Membrane (cell membrane) Composed of proteins and phospholipids (fats with
Phosphorus). Acts as skin around the cells contents. Acts as a selectively permeable membrane to
allow movement of materials in and out of the cell. Located around the outside of the cell. Single membrane around the vacuoles, lysosomes,
E.R., Golgi Apparatus. Double membrane around the nucleus and
mitochondria
![Page 25: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The Endomembrane System Consists of:
Nuclear Envelope Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Vesicles
This system compartmentalizes the cell so that particular enzymatic reactions are restricted to specific regions
Organelles of the endomembrane system are connected directly or by transport vesicles
![Page 27: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
System of interconnected flattened tubes, sacs, or canals.
Begins at the nuclear envelope and branches throughout the cytoplasm to the cell membrane.
Moves molecules from one area to another.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)
![Page 28: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
-Location of lipid manufacture. Cells that produce steroid hormones, have an abundant smooth ER.
-Section of both types of ER can break free “blebbing” to produce small membrane bound sacs of either proteins or lipids called vesicles.
-Contains enzymes that synthesize lipids and related products such as steroids.
![Page 29: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Like Smooth E.R., but with attached ribosomes.
Folds and processes proteins and packages them in transport vesicles
Abundant in cells that produce large amounts of protein for export from the cell.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)
![Page 30: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Body) Stack, of a half dozen or more flattened sacs. On one side receives protein-filled vesicles
from the E.R. Sorts the proteins and packages them in
vesicles at the other side. From here the vesicles move to different locations in the cell.
Like the post office of the cell.
![Page 31: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Many transport vesicles from the ER travel to the Golgi apparatus for modification of their contents.
• The Golgi is a center of manufacturing, warehousing, sorting, and shipping.
• The Golgi apparatus is especially extensive in cells specialized for secretion.
![Page 32: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Vesicles and VacuolesVesicles and vacuoles (larger versions) are membrane bound sacs
with varied functions.Vacuoles Storage areas for water, nutrients, and salts. Vesicles A small vacuole Storage sites in various kinds of molecules. Transport and secretory vesicles move their contents within the
cell and in and out of the cell. Can be made by the Golgi Apparatus or from an infolding of the
cell membrane
![Page 33: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

![Page 37: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ribosomes Contain rRNA and protein subunits. Function as sites for protein synthesis. Found on ER (proteins for export) or in the
cytoplasm (proteins for use in the cell).
- Several ribosomes together in a line, all producing the same protein is called a polyribosome.
![Page 38: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Mitochondria (singular – Mitochondrion) Burn glucose to produce adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). Use up oxygen and give off carbon dioxide
(this process is called cellular respiration).
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy Composed of two membranes.
![Page 39: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
-Considered the powerhouse of the cell.
- Their inner membranes loop back and fourth through the inner fluid, matrix, of the mitochondria increasing its surface area and producing shelf-like structures called cristae.
- This inner membrane is the site of cellular respiration
![Page 40: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Cytoskeleton Protein components of
cytoskeleton provide internal structure to maintain the cell’s shape, anchor the organelles, and allows them to move when appropriate.
Composed of microfilaments (actin filaments)
and microtubules. Like the “bones and
muscles” of the cell
![Page 41: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cytoskeleton – Microfilaments (Actin Filaments)
Primarily functions to maintain cell structure and cell movements
Extremely thin protein fibers usually occurring in bundles.
Similar in composition to the protein in the muscle (allows for muscle contraction).
![Page 42: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Cytoskeleton - Microtubules Maintain the shape of the cell and act as
tracks that organelles can move on.
Thin cylinders several times larger than microfilaments.
Found in both cytoplasm and certain organelles. Used to construct material to make up Cilia,
Flagella and Centrioles.
![Page 43: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Other Organelles Centrioles:
short cylinders with a 9+0 pattern of microtubule triplets
Two centrioles lying at right angles form the centrosome which is the microtubule organizing center (MTOC)
Cilia and Flagella: Hair like projections that can move in
undulating fashion (like a whip) or stiffly (like an oar)
Cells with cilia and/or flagella are capable of movement
Cilia also line the respiratory system and help remove foreign material from the lungs
![Page 44: Cell Biology: Cell Structure and Function](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681625c550346895dd2b1b6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A cell is a living unit greater than the sum of its parts
While the cell has many structures that have specific functions, they must work together.
The enzymes of the lysosomes and proteins of the cytoskeleton are synthesized at the ribosomes.
The information for these proteins comes from genetic messages sent by DNA in the nucleus.
All of these processes require energy in the form of ATP, most of which is supplied by the mitochondria.
A cell is a living unit greater than the sum of its parts.
