The Cell Theory
Cells are the smallest unit of life
All organisms are made of one or more
cells
All cells come from other cells

Plant or Animal?

Plant or Animal?
ONLY found inplant cells:1. Cell Wall
2. Chloroplast (Plastid)3. Large, Central Vacuole
and Tonoplast
4. Plasmodesmata

Plant1. Cell Wall - gives strength and
rigidity to cell
2. Chloroplast - green, site ofphotosynthesis
3. Vacuole - large, central storagespace
4. Plasmodesmata- channels throughcell walls

Animal1. Lysosome- digestive enzymes,
macromoleculeshydrolyzed
2. Centrioles- pair, in centrosome
3. Flagella - some animal cellshave

Cell Applications & Thinking:Describe a cellular process that involves at least THREE
organelles. List organelles in the order in which they
are used during the cellular process.
Name a specific kind of cell in plant or animal tissuethat has an abundance or is completely lacking a
particular organelle. Explain how the number andkinds of organelles present in that cell dictate the cells(or tissues) function.
What is the significance of each membrane-boundorganelle having different proteins embedded withintheir membrane?

CELL THOUGHTS TO PONDER:
IfElodeaand onion are BOTH plant, why dont
onion cells have chloroplasts, but the Elodea cellsdo?
Why couldnt we see mitochondria, ER, lysosomes,
ribosomes in any of our specimens cells when wedid the microscope lab?
Are plant & animal cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Cite evidence from your lab observations!What structures between plant cells aid in
transport of materials thru plant body?

Endosymbiont Hypothesis and the Origin of
Eukaryotic Cells
Evidence for Serial Endosymbiosis: Size of chloroplast & mitochondria about same size of prokaryotic cells Inner membranes of mitochondria & chloroplasts differ from the
membranes of cells plasma membrane Mitochondria & chloroplasts divide using binary fission like
prokaryotes Mitochondria & chloroplasts divide independent of rest of eukaryotic cell Mitochondria & chloroplasts have separate, circular ring of DNA like
modern prokaryotes Mitochondria & chloroplasts may be susceptible to antibiotics like bacteria Mitochondria & chloroplasts have ribosomes that are more similar to
prokaryotes
