An Overview of the Cell Prepared by: Paul John L. Guzman, LPT LECTURE OBJECTIVES discuss the cell theory compare and contrast the organization of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells identify the different parts of the endomembrane system describe the structure and compare the function of mitochondria and chloroplast describe the function of cytoskeleton compare and contrast animal cells and plant cells  The Discovery of Cells Robert Hooke The Discovery of Cells Curator of Instruments for the Royal Society of London The Hooke Microscope Cellula (Cells – little room) The Discovery of Cells Antonie van Leeuwenhoek produced small lenses (300 times (300x) animalcules first to observe living cells, blood cells, sperm cells, bacteria, and single-celled organisms (algae and protozoa) found in pond water  Factors that restricted the understanding of the nature of cells Limited Resolution(Resolving Power) Leeuwenhoek’s superior instruments could push this limit only so far. Descriptive Nature of 17th Century biology The age of observation Not into intriguing architectural details discovered  The Compound Microscope The Cell Theory Matthias Schleiden Theodor Schwann Rudolf Virchow 1.The cell is the basic unit of life. 2.All life forms are made up of one or more cells. 3.Cells come from pre-existing cells. The levels of organization Criteria for an entity to be considered alive 1. Information 2. Metabolism 3. Membrane Let’s analyze  Protoplasm Protoplasm is the living part of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane. In some definitions, it is a general term for the cytoplasm, but for others, it also includes the nucleoplasm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoplasm The organized colloidal complex of organic and inorganic substances (such as proteins and water) that constitutes the living nucleus, cytoplasm, plastids, and mitochondria of the cell https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/protoplasm A cell is the structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms. It is a membrane-bound structure containing the protoplasm. The protoplasm is the fluid living content of the cell. https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/protoplasm  Are viruses considered living or non-living?  Classification Schemes To establish phylogenetic or evolutionary relationship of organisms and unicellular Plantae Animalia Fungi Protista Monera Carl Woese July 15, 1928-December 31, 2012 Woese’s 3 Domains of life Molecular Phylogeny Basis: 16s rRNA Gene 5 Kingdoms 3 Domains Whittaker Woese https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC205007/pdf/jbacter00019-0025.pdf In it is the crux of the argument, expounded on by Woese, Norm Pace and others in subsequent years, that the term ‘Prokaryote’ is outdated, phylogenetically invalid, and harming a correct evolutionary understanding of the nature of life! Do not use it. If this term is in there, and I review your paper, or your exam answer, you will not like the result. It was reading this and other papers from Woese and associates, as well as the subsequent arrival of Prof. Pace in Colorado, that greatly influenced the direction of my dissertation research on soil fungi. I started my studies before Prof. Pace arrived at the University of Colorado, but I probably would not have finished it without the influence and consultation of Prof. Pace and his lab members. https://schadtlab.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/a-good- scienceopinion-piece-a-k-a-the-art-of-the-logical-rant/ Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes Bacteria *Eukarya *Archaea *phylogenetically related Animal cell vs plant cell Domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya differ from each other in many ways.
