The Cell
History of The Cell
• Looked at a thin slice of cork under a microscope
• Observed hollow, tiny, room like structures• Only saw the cell wall because cork cells are
not alive• Called “cells” because they resemble rooms

The Cell Theory
• Cells are the fundamental unit of life• All organisms are composed of cells• All cells come from preexisting cells
Two Different Types of Cells
Prokaryotic Cells• Means “before a nucleus”• Domains Bacteria and
Archaea• Can live in environmental
extremes• Live off diverse energy
sources
Eukaryotic Cells• Means “possessing a true
nucleus”• Domain Eukarya
– Animals, fungi, plants, and protists
• Genetic material (DNA) is contained in the nucleus

Great Job It Was Robert Hooke!!

Prokaryotic Structures• Cytoplasm
– A liquid material that particles are suspended in
• Ribosomes– Site of protein synthesis– Located in cytoplasm
• Nucleoid– Contains hereditary material
(DNA) of the cell– Located in cytoplasm
Prokaryotic Structures• Plasma membrane
– Encloses the cell– Regulates material into
and out of cell• Cell Wall
– Supports cell and determines its shape
• Capsule– Slime layer– Protects– Helps to not dry out– Helps attach to other cells
Prokaryotic Structures
• Flagella– Used to swim/move– Spins like a propeller or
whip like• Pilli
– Hair or threadlike structures
– Help stick to other cells for mating or animal cells for food and protection
Eukaryotic Cells
• Means “possessing a true nucleus”• Domain Eukarya
– Animals, fungi, plants, and protists
• Genetic material (DNA) is contained in the nucleus
• Are larger and more complex than prokaryotes
Plant Cell vs. Animal CellPlant Cell(square or rectangular in shape)• Nucleus• Nucleolus• Mitochondria• Golgi apparatus• Rough endoplasmic reticulum• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum• Ribosomes• Plasma membrane• Peroxisome• Plasmodesmata• Chloroplast• Cell Wall• Vacuole
Animal Cell(circular in shape)
• Nucleus• Nucleolus• Mitochondria• Golgi apparatus• Rough endoplasmic reticulum• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum• Ribosomes• Plasma membrane• Peroxisome• Cytoskeleton• Centrioles• Lysosome• Nuclear pore• Nuclear envelope• Microtubules

Awesome!!!
A bacteria is a prokaryote.
Structures of plant and animal cells• Nucleus
– “brain” of the cell– Contains most of the genetic
material (DNA) of the cell
• Nucleous– A region within the nucleus – Assemble ribosomes from
RNA and specific proteins
• Mitochondria– “power house” or power
plant of the cell
Structures of plant and animal cells• Golgi apparatus
– Process and package proteins
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)– Site of protein synthesis– Are rough because they
contain ribosomes
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)– Modifies synthesized proteins– Does not contain ribosomes
Structures of plant and animal cells
• Ribosomes– Manufacture proteins
• Plasma membrane– Separates the cell from its
environment– Regulates material into and
out of cell
• Peroxisome– Break down peroxides
Plant Cell
• Plasmodesmata– Allow direct
communication between plant cells
• Chloroplast– Collect sunlight to make
sugars– Process of
photosynthesis

Plant Cell
• Cell Wall– Supports the cell
• Vacuole– Filled with liquid
solutions and many dissolved substances
– Used for• Storage• Structure• Reproduction• Digestion
http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm
Animal Cell• Cytoskeleton
– Maintains cell shape and support
– Provides various types of cellular movement
• Centrioles– Help with nuclear division
• Lysosome– Contain digestive enzymes– Site for breaking down of
foreign objects and food taken in by the cell
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Einquiryb/webquest/fa06/mvogenbe/Animal-Cell.jpg
Animal Cell• Nuclear pore
– Connects the interior of the nucleus with the cytoplasm
• Nuclear envelope– Two membranes that
protect the cell
• Microtubles– Act as the framework
that motor proteins can move structures in the cell
