The Cell Outline:  Eukaryotic Cells Compared with Prokaryotic Cells  Cell Size and Microscopy  Cell Structure and Function  Plasma Membrane  Organelles  Cytoskeleton  Cellular Respiration and Fermentation in the Generation of ATP © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. 3.1 Eukaryotic Cells Compared with Prokaryotic Cells  The cell theory is a fundamental organizing principle of biology that states the following: The cell is the smallest unit of life Cells make up all living things, including unicellular and multicellular organisms New cells can arise only from preexisting cells  There are two basic types of cells: Prokaryotic Eukaryotic © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. What is a Cell?  Cell – Basic unit of living things. Organisms are either:  Unicellular – made of one cell such as bacteria and amoebas. OR  Multicellular – made of many cells such as plants and animals. Cells are the Fundamental Units of Life Confirmed discoveries that all scientists believe to be true about cells: 1.All living things are made up of cells. 2.Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. 3.All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division. All Cells are Either Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic Prokaryotic before nucleus Eukaryotic true nucleus 3.1 Eukaryotic Cells Compared with Prokaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells  Structurally simple  Structurally complex  Typically smaller  Typically larger  Lack membrane-bound  Have membrane-bound organelles organelles  Include bacteria and  Found in plants, animals, Archaea fungi, protist © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. What is a Cell?  Cell – Basic unit of living things. Organisms are either:  Unicellular – made of one cell such as bacteria and amoebas.

A Tour of the Animal Cell: Along the Protein Production Path Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of folded membranes that form channels. The Endoplasmic Reticulum makes protein and lipid components. Consists of a smooth ER and a rough ER. This organelle is responsible of moving proteins and other carbohydrates to the Golgi Apparatus, lysosomes, and other places which need carbohydrates. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) The RER is dotted with ribosomes. (Which is why it is called “rough.”) The RER is involved with protein production, protein folding, quality control and dispatch. The RER is involved with the synthesis of proteins. They produce and process specific proteins at ribosomal sites. Consists of network-like tunnels with tubules, vesicles and cisternae which is held together by the cytoskeleton of the cell. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SME) SME is more tubular then RER and forms a separate interconnecting network. (Is found evenly distributed among the Cytoplasm.) SME has no ribosomes on it. Smooth ER manufactures lipids and in some cases the metabolism of them and associated products. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Tour of the Animal Cell: Along the Protein Production Path Information for the construction of proteins is contained in the DNA located in the cell nucleus. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path This information is copied onto a length of messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA (mRNA) departs the cell nucleus through its nuclear pores (mRNA) goes to the sites of protein synthesis, structures called ribosomes, which lie in the cytoplasm. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path Many ribosomes that receive mRNA chains process only a short stretch of them before migrating to, and then embedding in, one of a series of sacs in a membrane network called the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path The polypeptide chains produced by the ribosomal “reading” of the mRNA sequences are dropped from ribosomes into the internal spaces of the RER. There, the polypeptide chains fold up, thus becoming proteins, and undergo editing. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path Some ribosomes are not embedded in the RER but instead remain free-standing in the cytosol. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path Materials move from one structure to another in the cell via the endomembrane system. Here a piece of membrane, with proteins or other materials inside, can bud off from one organelle, move through the cell, and then fuse with another membrane-lined structure. Membrane-lined structures that carry cellular materials are called transport vesicles. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Endomembrane system Path Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. The Protein Production Path Once protein processing is finished in the rough ER proteins undergoing processing move, via transport vesicles, to the Golgi complex. They are processed further and marked for shipment to appropriate cellular locations.

Each centriole is (b) Electron micrograph showing the microtubules composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules of a centriole arranged in a ring. © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. 3.6 Cytoskeleton  Microtubules Made of the protein tubulin Responsible for the structure and movement of cilia and flagella  Cilia are numerous short extensions in a cell that move back and forth Example: cells lining the respiratory tract  Flagella are larger than cilia and move in an undulating manner Example: in humans, found only on sperm cells © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. Cilia Cilia extend from cells in great numbers, serving to move the cell or to move material around the cell. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Flagella By contrast, one—or at most a few— flagella extend from cells that have them. The function of flagella is cell E movement.

Cell-to-Cell Communication Cells are able to communicate with each other through special structures. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Communication Among Plant Cells Plant cells have channels, called plasmodesmata.  Plasmodesmata are always open and hence have the effect of making the cytoplasm of one plant cell continuous with that of another.

Communication Among Animal Cells Adjacent animal cells have channels, called gap junctions, that are composed of protein assemblages(groups) that open only as necessary. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Communication Among Animal Cells These gap junctions allow the movement of small molecules and electrical signals between cells.
