Cell Structure and Function Chapter 4 Table of Contents Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Section 2 Introduction to Cells Section 3 Cell Organelles and Features Section 4 Unique Features of Plant Cells  Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 Objectives Name the scientists who first observed living and nonliving cells. Summarize the research that led to the development of the cell theory. State the three principles of the cell theory. Explain why the cell is considered to be the basic unit of life.  Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 The Discovery of Cells All living things are made up of one or more cells. A cell is the smallest unit that can carry on all of the processes of life.  Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 The Discovery of Cells, continued Hooke – In 1665, Robert Hooke discovered cells in slices of cork. Leeuwenhoek – In 1673, Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe living cells in microorganisms; Leeuwenhoek called these organism animalcules ~ we now call them protists.  Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 The Cell Theory The cell theory states that all living organisms are made of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function, and cells come only from pre- existing cells. In 1838, the German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were composed of cells In 1839, Theodor Schwann concluded the same thing for animals In 1855, Rudolf Virchow noted that all cells come from other cells  Section 1 The History of Cell Biology Chapter 4 Cell Theory Click below to watch the Visual Concept.

Identify the factor that limits cell size. Describe the three basic parts of a cell. Compare prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Analyze the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cell Diversity Cell Shape – A cell’s shape reflects its function.  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cell Diversity, Continued Cell Size – Cell size is limited by a cell’s surface area–to- volume ratio.  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cell size differs amongst species  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cell Size Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell Multicellular organisms are made up of many cells that often specialize according to function - differentiation  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Specialized Animal Cells Red Blood Cells Cheek Cells Bone Cells  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Prokaryotic Cells -Cells lack a nucleus and membrane- bound organelles -Includes bacteria -Single, circular chromosome in nucleoid region -Surrounded by cell -Divided into two domains, membrane and a cell I.e., Archaea and Bacteria wall made up of peptidoglycan  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Eukaryotic Cells -Cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles -Incudes protists, fungi, plants, and animals  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Comparing Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Click below to watch the Visual Concept.

Visual Concept  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Basic Parts of a Cell, continued Plasma Membrane – The cell’s outer boundary, called the plasma membrane (or the cell membrane), covers a cell’s surface and acts as a barrier between the inside and the outside of a cell.  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Basic Parts of a Cell, continued Cytoplasm – The region of the cell that is within the plasma membrane and that includes the fluid, the cytoskeleton, and all of the organelles except the nucleus is called the cytoplasm. – The part of the cytoplasm that includes molecules and small particles, such as ribosomes, but not membrane bound organelles is the cytosol – About 20% of the cytosol is made up of protein  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Basic Parts of a Cell, continued Nucleus – The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains a cell’s DNA.  Section 2 Introduction to Cells Chapter 4 Cellular Organization In multicellular eukaryotes, cells organize into tissues, organs, organ systems, and finally organisms.  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Objectives Describe the structure and function of a cell’s plasma membrane. Summarize the role of the nucleus. List the major organelles found in the cytosol, and describe their roles. Identify the characteristics of mitochondria. Describe the structure and function of the cytoskeleton.  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Plasma Membrane Selectively permeable, separates internal metabolic reactions from the external environment, and allows cell to excrete waste Membrane Lipids – Cell membranes consist of a phospholipid bilayer. – Phospholipids have a polar, hydrophilic (“water- loving”) phosphate head and two nonpolar, hydrophobic (“water-fearing”) fatty acid tails – Cholesterol gives membrane firmness and prevents freezing in low temperatures  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Structure of Lipid Bilayer  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Plasma Membrane, continued Membrane Proteins – Cell membranes often contain proteins embedded within the phospholipid bilayer. – Proteins help move large molecules or aid in cell recognition (peripheral and integral)  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Plasma Membrane, continued Fluid Mosaic Model – The fluid mosaic model states that the phospholipid bilayer behaves like a fluid more than it behaves like a solid. – As a result of such lateral movement, the pattern, or “mosaic,” of lipids and proteins in the cellmembrane constantly changes  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Nucleus The nucleus directs the cell’s activities and stores DNA. When a cell is not dividing, the DNA is in the form of a threadlike material called chromatin When a cell is about to divide, the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes Nuclear Envelope – The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Nucleolus – The nucleolus is the place where DNA is concentrated when it is in the process of making ribosomal RNA.  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Nucleus of a Cell  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Mitochondria Mitochondria harvest energy from organic compounds and transfer it to ATP. Mitochondrial DNA – endosymbiotic origin  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Ribosomes Ribosomes are either free or attached to the rough ER and play a role in protein synthesis. Made of protein an RNA molecules Ribosome assembly begins in the nucleolus and is completed in the cytoplasm  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Ribosomes Click below to watch the Visual Concept. Visual Concept  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Endoplasmic Reticulum – intracellular highway The rough ER prepares proteins for export or insertion into the cell membrane. – Most abundant in cells that produce large amounts of protein for export, such as digestive glands and antibody-producing cells The smooth ER builds lipids, like cholesterol, and participates in detoxification of toxins. – In ovaries and testes, smooth ER produces estrogen and testosterone, respectively – In skeletal and heart muscle cells, smooth ER releases calcium, which stimulates contraction – Abundant in liver and kidneys for detoxification  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and Ribosomes Click below to watch the Visual Concept. Visual Concept  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins; proteins get address labels that direct them to other parts of the cell  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Vesicles Vesicles, including lysosomes (digestive enzymes) and peroxisomes (detoxification enzymes – liver and kidneys), are classified by their contents. Lysosomes digest worn-out organelles in a process called autophagy; digestion of damaged or extra cells by the enzymes of their own lysosomes is called autolysis Protein Synthesis –The rough ER, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles work together to transport proteins to their destinations inside and outside the cell.  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Processing of Proteins  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is made of protein fibers that help cells move and maintain their shape. The cytoskeleton includes microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments.  Section 3 Cell Organelles Chapter 4 and Features Cytoskeleton Click below to watch the Visual Concept.
