Cells 

Robert Hooke, a British scientist, mid-1600s

Cell Theory

• Cell = The smallest structural unit of an organism that is capable of independent functioning

1

Cell Diversity

• Plant Cells – Cell walls – Both mitochondria and chloroplasts

Cell Diversity

• Animal Cells

Major Cell Types • Prokaryotic Cells – – – –

Bacteria No Nucleus Lacks many other organelles Much smaller than Eukaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic Cells

2

Eukaryotic cells have organelles

3

Cell Membrane •

Every cell of every living organism is enclosed by a plasma membrane,

Plasma Membrane • Also called cell membrane

3.8 Passive transport is the spontaneous diffusion of molecules across a membrane.

There are two types of passive transport: 1. Diffusion 2. Osmosis

4

Diffusion and Concentration Gradients • Solutes • Solvents

Diffusion

• Net movement of a molecule from a place where the molecule is in high concentration to a place where that molecule is less concentrated.

Diffusion

• Concentration gradient – Difference in the concentration of molecules over a distance. – Net movement of molecules

5

Osmosis • Net movement of water through a semipermeable membrane. • Water moves from high water concentration to low water concentration. • High water concentration = low solute (salt) concentration

6

Osmosis

A

Water + 10% NaCl

?

Water only

B

Which direction will the water flow (net)? Is side A hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to side B?

Osmosis

A

Water + 50% NaCl

?

Water + 60% NaCl

B

Which direction will the water flow (net)? Is side A hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to side B?

7

Mediated Transport • Active Transport – Requires energy (ATP) – Molecules are moved against their concentration gradients.

Transport of Large Particles

• Endocytosis transports large particles into the cell by wrapping parts of the plasma membrane around them.

Three types of Endocytosis

Major Cell Types

Organelle =

3.13 Nucleus: the cell’s genetic control center.  The

nucleus is the largest and most prominent organelle in most eukaryotic cells.

 The

nucleus has two primary functions:

Chromatin

9

3.14 Cytoplasm and cytoskeleton:

Cilia and Flagella • Flagella are larger and usually found singly

10

Lysosomes

3.17 Endoplasmic reticulum: where cells build proteins and disarm toxins

Endoplasmic Reticulum 1. Also known as the ER 2. Folded tubes and membranes throughout the cell.

11

Ribosome =

3.18 Golgi apparatus: Where the cell processes products for delivery throughout the body

3.19 The cell wall provides additional protection and support for plant cells

12

3.20 Vacuoles: multipurpose storage sacs for cells

Vesicles and Vacuoles

• Vacuoles –

Energy Converters • Mitochondria – Contains enzymes for aerobic cellular respiration

• Chloroplasts

13

Endosymbiosis  Mitochondria

may have existed as separate single-celled, bacteria-like organisms billions of years ago.
