The shape and size of cells are related to the specific function they perform. Division of labour is also seen within a cell. Each such cell has got certain specific components within it, known as CELL ORGANELLES. Generally, a cell has plasma membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm. Cell differ greatly in size , shape and activities. Bacteria could be 3 to 5 um Mycoplasma, smallest cells, are in length. ( um – micrometre ) o.3um in length.

THE FLUID MOSAIC MODEL IS A BIOLOGICAL MODEL THAT EXPLAINS THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE CELL MEMBRANE PROPOSED BY SINGER AND NICOLSON (1972) WIDELY ACCEPTED AS FLUID MOSAIC MODEL.

Note :- Viruses lack membranes and hence do not show characteristics of life until they enter a living body and use its cell machinery to multiply. Cell Organelles ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM It is a large network of membrane-bound tubes and sheets. It looks like long tubules or round or oblong bags (vesicles). ER membrane is similar in structure to the plasma membrane. Has two types :- SER & RER ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM Rough surface due to presence of Smooth surface due to absence ribosomes on the surface. of ribosomes on the surface. Ribosomes are site of protein. Helps in lipid formation. synthesis. SER plays a crucial role in Transport the material b/w detoxifying many poisons and cytoplasm and nucleus. drugs. Manufactured proteins packaged In Animal cells lipids – like into vesicles and directed to steroidal hormones are different parts of the cell based on synthesized in SER. their function. GOLGI APPARATUS It is a system of membrane-bound vesicles (flattened sacs) arranged approximately parallel to each other in stacks called cisterns. First described by Camillo Golgi. The material synthesized near the ER is packaged and dispatched to various targets inside and outside the cell through the Golgi apparatus Formation of Lysosomes. Storage, modification and packaging in vesicles. Converts simple sugars into complex sugars. Golgi bodies consist of many flat, disc – shaped sacs or cisternae of 0.5um to 1.0um diameter. Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. The Golgi cisternae are concentrically arranged near the nucleus with distinct convex cis or the forming face and concave trans or the maturing face. LYSOSOMES Lysosomes help keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material and worn-out cell organelles. Structurally lysosomes are Membrane bounce sacs filled with digestive enzymes. These enzymes are made by RER. Waste disposal system of the cell. ‘Suicide Bags’ of a cell. The isolated lysosomal vesicles have been found to be very rich in almost all types of hydrolytic enzymes optimally active at acidic PH. ( Hydrolases – Esterases including lipases, phosphatases, glycosidases, peptidases, and nucleosidases. ). These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates , proteins , lipids and nucleic acids. CENTRIOLES Centrioles are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. Essential for a variety of cellular processes, including cell division, cell polarity, and intracellular traffic. Centrioles are not membrane-bound organelles. MITOCHONDRIA Powerhouse of the cell. Double membrane. The outer membrane is porous while the inner membrane is deeply folded. Has its own DNA & Ribosomes. The mitochondria divide by fission. The energy is used to make new chemical compounds and carrying out mechanical activities of the cell. Help in generation of the energy currency of the cell ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). MICROBODIES Microbodies, also known as cytostomes, are small organelles found in the cytoplasm of cells that contain enzymes involved in metabolic pathways of sugars, amino acids, and fats. Many membrane bound minute vesicles called microbodies. Contain various enzymes , are present in both plants and animal cells. 0.2 – 1.5 micrometers in diameter. Do not contain separate DNA. Visible with an electron microscope. Spherical or vesicular shapes. VACUOLES Storage sacs for solid or liquid contents. Vacuoles are small-sized in animal cells while plant cells have very large vacuoles. The central vacuole of some plant cells may occupy 50- 90% of the cell volume. Many substances of importance in the life of the plant cell are stored in vacuoles. (amino acids, sugars). The vacuole is bound by a single membrane called TONOPLAST. In plants, the tonoplast facilitates the transport of a number of ions and other materials against concentration gradients into the vacuole. Their concentration is significantly higher in the vacuole than in the cytoplasm. In Amoeba the contractile vacuole is important for osmoregulation and excretion. Vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell in plants. Eukaryotic Ribosomes (80S). Prokaryotic Ribosomes (70S). Subunit : 60S and 40S Subunit : 50S and 30S Mitochondria, Plastids( Chloroplast Ribosome) have 70S S : Svedberg unit stands for the sedimentation Cytoplasmic Ribosomes have 80S coefficient. PLASTIDS Only found in plant cells. mRNA They also have their own DNA & RIBOSOMES. Are of two types :- Chromoplasts and Leucoplasts Chromoplasts with green pigment (chlorophyll ) are known as chloroplast. These help the cell in photosynthesis. Plastids are similar to mitochondria in external structure. In the chromoplasts fat soluble carotenoid pigments like carotene , xanthophyll and others are present. This gives the part of the plant a yellow , orange or red color. The leucoplasts are the colorless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients: 1. Amyloplasts store carbohydrates ( starch ), eg : potato 2. Elaioplasts store oils and fats. 3. Aleuroplasts store proteins. Majority of the chloroplasts of the green plants are found in the mesophyll cell of the leaves. The DNA present in chloroplast is circular , double stranded. RIBOSOME A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein. Site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. mRNA translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids. Amino acids grow into long chains that fold to form proteins. Transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as a bridge between messenger RNA (mRNA) and amino acids to help ribosomes synthesize proteins. A polyribosome, also known as a polysome, is a group of ribosomes that are bound to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. Polyribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The ribosomes are attached to the mRNA in a similar way to beads on a thread.

CELL DIVISION CELL DIVISION IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH A CELL SPLITS INTO TWO DAUGHTER CELLS MITOSIS MEIOSIS The process of cell division by which most of the Meiosis involves two consecutive divisions. cells divide for growth is called Mitosis. When a cell divides by meiosis it produces four In this, Mother cell divides to form two identical new cells instead of just two. daughter cells. The new cells only have half the number of The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes than that of the mother cells chromosomes as mother cell.
