1 Household pin w/ bactera Cell Structure and Function Chapter 4

2 Same bacteria on pinhead Fig. 4-1c, p.50

3 Review: Ionic Bonds Na has 11p and 10e making it (+) Cl has 18e and 17 p making it (-) The attraction between Na and Cl is irresistable!!

4 The Cell Smallest unit of life Can survive on its own or has potential to do so Is highly organized for metabolism Senses and responds to environment Has potential to reproduce

5 Structure of Cells All start out life with: Plasma membrane Region where DNA is stored Cytoplasm Two types: Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

6 Why Are Cells So Small? Surface-to-volume ratio The bigger a cell is, the less surface area there is per unit volume Above a certain size, material cannot be moved in or out of cell fast enough

7 Surface-to-Volume Ratio explains why cells never grow large

8 What did I just say? Why can t cells grow as big as humans?

9 Early Discoveries Mid 1600s - Robert Hooke observed and described cells in cork Late 1600s - Antony van Leeuwenhoek observed sperm, microorganisms 1820s - Robert Brown observed and named nucleus in plant cells

10 Developing Cell Theory Matthias Schleiden Theodor Schwann Rudolf Virchow

11 Cell Theory 1) Every organism is composed of one or more cells 2) Cell is smallest unit having properties of life 3) Continuity of life arises from growth and division of single cells

12 What did I just say about cell theory? 1. Every organism is.. 2. Cell is. 3. Cells are derived from.

13 Microscopes Create detailed images of something that is otherwise too small to see Light microscopes Simple or compound Electron microscopes Transmission EM or Scanning EM

14 Fig. 4-4a, p.53

15 Limitations of Light Microscopy Wavelengths of light are nm If a structure is less than one-half of a wavelength long, it will not be visible Light microscopes can resolve objects down to about 200 nm in size

16 Main component of cell membranes Gives the membrane its fluid properties Two layers of phospholipids The Cell Membrane- A Lipid Bilayer

17 Fluid Mosaic Model Membrane is a mosaic of Phospholipids Glycolipids Sterols Proteins Most phospholipids and some proteins can drift through membrane

18 head two tails one layer of lipids one layer of lipids lipid bilaye r fluid fluid Fig. 4-9, p.56

19 Visualize a swimming pool with lots of balls

20 How did I do? Write a one minute paper on the fluid mosaic model.

21 If you were a cell, would you let any chemical or molecule enter inside of you? Answer from class?

22 Prokaryotic Cells Archaea and eubacteria DNA is not enclosed in nucleus Generally the smallest, simplest cells No organelles

23 Prokaryotic Structure bacterial flagellum plasma membrane pilus bacterial flagellum Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane, and many have a thick, jellylike capsule around the wall. cytoplasm, with ribosomes DNA in nucleoid region

24 Eukaryotic Cells Have a nucleus and other organelles Eukaryotic organisms Plants Animals Protistans Fungi

25 Robert Hooke s Microscope Fig. 4-5a, p.54

26 Hooke s sketch of cells in cork Fig. 4-5b, p.54

27 Functions of Nucleus Keeps the DNA molecules of eukaryotic cells separated from metabolic machinery of cytoplasm Makes it easier to organize DNA and to copy it before parent cells divide into daughter cells

28 b Plant cell (eukaryotic) DNA in nucleus cytoplasm plasma membrane Fig. 4-2b, p.52

29 c Animal cell (eukaryotic) DNA in nucleus cytoplasm plasma membrane Fig. 4-2c, p.52

30 Cell Parts: Chromatin Cell s collection of DNA and associated proteins Chromosome is one DNA molecule and its associated proteins Appearance changes as cell divides

31 Cell Parts: Nuclear Envelope Two outer membranes (lipid bilayers) Innermost surface has DNA attachment sites Pores span bilayer one of two lipid bilayers (facing nucleoplasm) nuclear pore (protein complex that spans both lipid bilayers) one of two lipid bilayers (facing nucleoplasm) NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

32 Cell Parts: Nucleolus Dense mass of material in nucleus May be one or more Cluster of DNA and proteins Materials from which ribosomal subunits are built Subunits must pass through nuclear pores to reach cytoplasm

33 Cell Parts: Endomembrane System Group of related organelles in which lipids are assembled and new polypeptide chains are modified Products are sorted and shipped to various destinations

34 Components of Endomembrane System Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi bodies Vesicles

35 Endoplasmic Reticulum In animal cells, continuous with nuclear membrane Extends throughout cytoplasm Two regions: rough and smooth

36 Name one function of the endomembrane system?

37 Rough ER Arranged into flattened sacs Ribosomes on surface give it a rough appearance Some polypeptide chains enter rough ER and are modified Cells that specialize in secreting proteins have lots of rough ER

38 Smooth ER A series of interconnected tubules No ribosomes on surface Lipids assembled inside tubules Smooth ER of liver inactivates wastes, drugs

39 Golgi Bodies Put finishing touches on proteins and lipids that arrive from ER Package finished material for shipment to final destinations Material arrives and leaves in vesicles

40 Vesicles Membranous sacs that move through the cytoplasm Lysosomes- function to eat up waster products Peroxisomes breaks down amino acids and fatty acides

41 Central Vacuole Fluid-filled organelle Stores amino acids, sugars, wastes As cell grows, expansion of vacuole as a result of fluid pressure forces cell wall to expand In mature cell, central vacuole takes up percent of cell interior

43 Mitochondria ATP-producing powerhouses Double-membrane system Carry out the most efficient energy-releasing reactions These reactions require oxygen

44 Mitochondrial Structure Outer membrane faces cytoplasm Inner membrane folds back on itself Membranes form two distinct compartments ATP-making machinery is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane

45 Chloroplasts..only found in plants Convert sunlight energy to ATP through photosynthesis

46 Structure of a Chloroplast Two outer membranes around semifluid interior (stroma) bathes inner membrane Often, this single membrane is folded back on itself as a series of stacked, flattened disks Each stack is called a thylakoid, which contains chlorophylls and other substances involved in photosynthesis

47 Like Bacteria? Both mitochondria and chloroplasts resemble bacteria Have own DNA, RNA, and ribosomes
