Basic Structure of a Cell

CELL THEORY
All living things are made of
cellsCells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism (basic unit of life)
Cells come from the
reproduction of existing cells
(cell division)Slide3
3
Number of Cells
Organisms may be:
Unicellular –
composed of one cell
Multicellular
-
composed of many cells that may organize into tissues, etc.

4
CELL SIZE
Typical cells range from 5 – 50 micrometers (microns) in diameterSlide5
5
How Big is a Micron ( µ ) ?
1 cm = 10,000 microns 1” = 25,000 microns
copyright cmassengaleSlide6
6
Factors Affecting Cell Size
Surface area
= L x WVolume of a cell = L x W x HTherefore,
Volume increases FASTER than the surface area
copyright cmassengaleSlide7
7
Cell Size
When the surface area is no longer great enough to get rid of all the wastes and to get in enough food and water,
then the cell must divideTherefore, the cells of an organism are close in size
copyright cmassengaleSlide8

Cell Size
Question:
Are the cells in an elephant bigger, smaller, or about the same size as those in a mouse?
About the same size, but …
The elephant has MANY MORE cells than a mouse!

Multicellular Organisms
Cells in multicellular organisms often
specialize (take on different shapes & functions)
copyright cmassengaleSlide10
10
Cell Specialization
Cells in a multi-cellular organism become specialized by
turning different genes on and offThis is known as
DIFFERENTIATION

)
Contain
ribosomes
(no membrane)
in their cytoplasm to make proteins

complex
type of cells

Very
small
(Microscopic)
Perform
various functions
for a cell
Found in the
cytoplasm
May or may not be
membrane-bound

Proteins
Protein
channel
Lipid bilayer
Carbohydrate
chains
Composed of a
constantly moving
,
double layer
Surrounds
outside of
ALL cells
Controls what
enters or leaves the cell
We will discuss membranes a LOT after break

2. Cell Wall
Supports
and protects
cell
Found
outside of the cell membrane
In most prokaryotes, plants, and fungi
copyright cmassengaleSlide24
24
Jelly-like
substance enclosed
by
cell membrane
Provides a medium for
chemical reactions
to take
place
Contains
organelle
s to carry out specific jobs
Found in
ALL
cells
3. Cytoplasm of a Cell
cytoplasmSlide25
25
Controls the normal activities of the cell
Contains the DNA in chromosomes
Bounded by a nuclear envelope (membrane) with pores
Usually the
largest
organelle
4. The Control Organelle - Nucleus
copyright cmassengaleSlide26
26
Inside the Nucleus -
The genetic material (DNA) is
found here
DNA is spread out
And appears as
CHROMATIN
in non-dividing cells
DNA is condensed & wrapped around proteins forming
as CHROMOSOMES
in dividing cells
copyright cmassengaleSlide27
27
What Does DNA do?
DNA is the
hereditary material of the cell
Genes
that make up the DNA molecule code for different
proteins
copyright cmassengaleSlide28

5. Ribosomes
Made of
PROTEINS and rRNA
“Protein factories” for cell
copyright cmassengaleSlide29
29
Ribosomes
Can be
attached
OR
Be free (unattached) in the
cytoplasm
copyright cmassengaleSlide30

6. Mitochondrion
(plural = mitochondria)
“Powerhouse” of the cell
Site of
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
(burning glucose
) that generates cellular
energy (ATP)
More
active cells
like
muscle
cells have MORE mitochondria
All eukaryotic cells have mitochondria
copyright cmassengaleSlide31

Interesting Fact ---
Mitochondria Come from cytoplasm in the EGG cell during fertilization
Therefore …
You inherit your mitochondria from your mother
!
