WU:
1. Classify YOUR cells and tell me 5 structures you would find in them.
2. Why is it important for cells to be
compartmentalized?
Exceptions to the cell theory-
1. Where did the first cell come from?
2. What about Viruses?
- not a cell, but can reproduce if inside another cell
- on the bridge between living and nonliving
Make a BIG Organelle Table – 2 pgs
Name Structure Function Picture A or P Analogy
Plasma Membrane Cell Wall Nucleus Nucleolus Ribosomes Cytoplasm Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi apparatus Vacuoles Lysosomes Chloroplast Mitochondria Cytoskeleton Flagella
Cilia
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like, liquid portion of the cell that holds the organelles in place (chem rxns take place here too!)
Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
• Made of microfilaments (tiny, solid fibers) and microtubules (thin, hollow cylinders)
• These are proteins!
The Nucleus
• “Brain” of the cell (controls cell activities)
• Has a membrane (nuclear envelope) w/pores
• Only Eukaryotes!
Reproduction & Growth
Regulation & Homeostasis
What’s inside the nucleus?
• Chromosomes
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid) – genetic code
Chromatin
• Chromatin is tangled masses of DNA inside the nucleus
• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes right before cell division
begins.
Nucleolus
• Contains protein and RNA (ribonucleic acid)…
• Makes ribosomes
Synthesis
Ribosomes
• Made of protein and rRNA
• Site of protein synthesis
• Free floating in the cytoplasm or on the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• 2 Types - Rough and Smooth ER
• Used for transport in
the cell
Rough – has ribosomes
Smooth – does not have ribosomes
Synthesis and Transport
The smooth ER helpsExcretion
detoxify
Mitochondrion
• Powerhouse of the Cell!!!
This makes ________
(Energy Molecule)!!!!!
• Double membrane
• Folded inner membrane increases surface area!!!
Cellular Respiration
Golgi Apparatus
• Packaging center of the cell.
• It makes vesicles to
help with transport
Golgi Body Secreting Vesicles
Transport
Lysosomes
• Contain digestive enzymes
• Digest old worn out
parts and invaders
Vacuole
• Storage
• Holds food, oil, wastes
• HUGE in plant cells – they usually only have 1!
• Smaller in animal cells –
usually have more than 1!!
Cell Wall
Cell
Wall
Cell wall - What is it?
• Only in plant cells, bacteria, and fungi - outside of the cell/plasma membrane
• Made of cellulose
• DEAD – everything passes straight through it!!
• Maintains structure
Turgor pressure
• Pressure against the cell wall in a plant from water in the vacuole
• When turgor pressure is present= plants are perky
instead of wilted!!
The cell wall contains cellulose!!
Centrioles (Animal Cells only)
Used during cellular reproduction
Centrioles
Chloroplast (Plant cells only)
• Carry out
photosynthesis - take energy from the sun and make food.
• Contain chlorophyll, so
they’re green!
Photosynthesis
FLAGELLA:
Long, whip-like projection used for movement
CILIA: Short, hair- like projections
used for movement
Finish 7.2 Microscope Lab- Due today!
When completed, start on cheek cell, potato, and Elodea cell lab (make wet
mounts and let me help stain)

Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)
Excretion
Structure Plasma Membrane
• Phospholipid subunits
• Each has a polar head and a non-polar tail
• They form a double layer, called lipid bilayer,
because polar water
inside/outside cell repeals the non-polar tails
Polar Head
Non-polar Tail
STOP!! BIG WORDS!!!!
• Hydrophobic: Hydro = Water ; Phobic = afraid The tail of the phospholipid is hydrophobic
• Hydrophilic: Hydro = Water ; Philic = loving The head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic
• Structure of the phospholipid bilayer – (the heads are toward the water of the cytoplasm and
extracellular fluid, the tails are not)
•Protein channels (or transport proteins)
allow the passage of polar molecules in / out of cell; also serve as receptors to detect
foreign invaders as well as accept hormones.
•Glycoproteins/lipids – aid in cell identification
Fluid Mosiac Model
Has a lipid bilayer
With embedded
proteins
The phospholipid
Function of Cell membrane
• Controls transport into/out of a cell
• Holds the cell together
• Semi-permeable
(Selectively permeable) Gateway: allows only
certain materials to pass
through
PhospholipidHead
Tail
A concentration gradient influences what moves in and out of the cell
Larger or non-polar molecules can not simply
diffuse through the membrane
Cell Membrane
• Membrane looks big?
Picture this…….
• It would take 10,000
membranes to equal
the thickness of one
sheet of paper!!!
Cholesterol in the Cell Membrane
• Important in cell signaling
• Provides structure, cell membrane would be
too fluid without
DIFFUSION
• Diffusion: mvmt of materials from an area of high to low concentration without the use of energy.
• Materials move with the Concentration gradient
• A type of Passive transport
Osmosis
• Osmosis: the diffusion of water through a membrane
• A type of Passive Transport
• Solutions can be referred to as:
– Isotonic – Hypertonic – Hypotonic
