3. Chapter Intro-page 170 What You’ll Learn Cells are the foundation for the development of all life forms. Birth, growth, death, and all life functions begin as cellular functions.

4. 7.1 Section Objectives – page 171 Section Objectives: • Relate advances in microscope technology to discoveries about cells and cell structure. • Compare the operation of a microscope with that of an electron microscope. • Identify the main ideas of the cell theory.

5. Section 7.1 Summary – pages 171-174 The History of the Cell Theory • Before microscopes were invented, people believed that diseases were caused by curses and supernatural spirits. • As scientists began using microscopes, they quickly realized they were entering a new world–one of microorganisms. • Microscopes enabled scientists to view and study cells, the basic units of living organisms.

6. Section 7.1 Summary – pages 171-174 Development of Light Microscopes • The first person to record looking at water under a microscope was Anton vanLeeuwenhoek. • The microscope van Leeuwenhoek used is considered a simple light microscope because it contained one lens and used natural light to view objects.

7. Section 7.1 Summary – pages 171-174 Development of Light Microscopes Compound light microscopes use a series of lenses to magnify objects in steps. These microscopes can magnify objects up to 1 500 times.

8. 1665- Robert Hooke • Observed cork through a microscope and gave the observed units the name CELL

9. Section 7.1 Summary – pages 171-174 The Cell Theory • Robert Hooke was an English scientist who lived at the same time as van Leeuwenhock. • Hooke used a compound light microscope to study cork, the dead cells of oak bark. Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.

10. Cell Theory • Robert Hooke-ID cell • Schleiden (ID plant cells) • Schwan (ID animal cells) • & others • Schwan Cell • All living things made of cells • Cells are basic units of structure of life • All cells come from other cells

11. Development of Electron Microscopes • The electron microscope was invented in the 1940s. • This microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify structures up to 500 000 times their actual size.

12. Development of Electron Microscopes There are two basic types of electron microscopes. The scanning electron microscope scans the surface of cells to learn their three dimensional shape. • The transmission electron microscope allows scientists to study the structures contained within a cell.

13. Two Basic Cell Types Cells that do not contain internal membrane-bound structures are called prokaryotic cells. Click here • The cells of most unicellular organisms such as bacteria do not have membrane bound structures and are therefore called prokaryotes.

14. 7.1 Two Basic Cell Types Cells containing membrane-bound structures are called eukaryotic cells. Click here • Most of the multi-cellular plants and animals we know are made up of cells containing membrane-bound structures and are therefore called eukaryotes.

15. Two Basic Cell Types The membrane-bound structures within eukaryotic cells are called organelles. • Each organelle has a specific function that contributes to cell survival.

16. Two Basic Cell Types • Separation of organelles into distinct compartments benefits the eukaryotic cells. The nucleus is the central membrane-bound organelle that manages cellular functions.

17. Section Objectives • Explain how a cell’s plasma membrane functions. • Relate the function of the plasma membrane to the fluid mosaic model.

18. All living cells must maintain a balance regardless of internal and external conditions. Survival depends on the cell’s ability to maintain the proper conditions within itself.

19. Why cells must control materials The plasma membrane is the boundary between the cell and its environment.

20. It is the plasma membrane’s job to: • allow a steady supply of glucose, amino acids, and lipids to come into the cell no matter what the external conditions are. • remove excess amounts of these nutrients when levels get so high that they are harmful. • allow waste and other products to leave the cell.

21. This process of maintaining the cell’s environment is called homeostasis. Selective permeabilityis a process used to maintain homeostasis in which the plasma membrane allows some molecules into the cell while keeping others out.

22. Plasma Membrane Water

23. Structure of the Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane is composed of two layers of phospholipids back-to-back. Phospholipids are lipids with a phosphate attached to them.

24. Phosphate Group The lipids in a plasma membrane have a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphate group. Glycerol Backbone Two Fatty Acid Chains

25. Makeup of the phospholipid bilayer The phosphate group is critical for the formation and function of the plasma membrane. Phosphate Group

26. Other components of the plasma membrane: Cholesterol plays the important role of preventing the fatty acid chains of the phospholipids from sticking together. Cholesterol Molecule

27. Other components of the plasma membrane: Transport proteins allow needed substances or waste materials to move through the plasma membrane.

28. Special Cell Processes • The plasma membrane acts as a selectively permeable membrane. Cell membrane • Phospholipid bilayer • Like bobbing apples- float & do not have fixed location • Allows small molecules to pass between • Large molecules pass through proteins.

29. Section Objectives • Understand the structure and function of the parts of a typical eukaryotic cell. • Explain the advantages of highly folded membranes. • Compare and contrast the structures of plant and animal cells.

30. Cellular Boundaries The plasma membrane acts as a selectively permeable membrane.

31. The cell wall The cell wall is a fairly rigid structure located outside the plasma membrane that provides additional support and protection.

32. Nucleus and cell control Nucleolus Chromatin Nuclear Envelope

33. Section 3 Summary – page 179-187 Assembly, Transport, and Storage The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that is suspended in the cytoplasm and is the site of cellular chemical reactions.

34. Assembly, Transport, and Storage Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Ribosomes

35. Assembly, Transport, and Storage Golgi Apparatus

36. Vacuoles and storage Vacuolesare membrane-bound spaces used for temporary storage of materials. Notice the difference between vacuoles in plant and animal cells. Plant Cell Vacuole Animal Cell

37. Lysosomes and recycling Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

38. Energy Transformers: Chloroplasts and energy Chloroplastsare cell organelles that capture light energy and produce food to store for a later time.

39. Chloroplasts and energy The chloroplasts belongs to a group of plant organelles called plastids, which are used for storage. Chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll traps light energy and gives leaves and stems their green color.

40. Mitochondria and energy Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles in plant and animal cells that transform energy for the cell.

41. Mitochondria and energy A mitochondria, like the endoplasmic reticulum, has a highly folded inner membrane. Energy storing molecules are produced on inner folds.

42. Structures for Support and Locomotion Cells have a support structure called the cytoskeleton within the cytoplasm. The cytoskeleton is composed of microtubules and microfilaments. Microtubules are thin, hollow cylinders made of protein and microfilamentsare thin solid protein fibers.

43. Cilia and flagella Some cell surfaces have cilia and flagella, which are structures that aid in locomotion or feeding. Cilia and flagella can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their action.

44. Cilia and flagella Cilia Cilia are short, numerous, hair-like projections that move in a wavelike motion.

45. Cilia and flagella Flagellaare long projections that move in a whip-like motion. Flagella and cilia are the major means of locomotion in unicellular organisms. Flagella

46. Main Ideas • Microscopes enabled biologists to see cells and develop the cell theory. • The cell theory states that the cell is the basic unit of organization, all organisms are made up of one or more cells, and all cells come from preexisting cells.

47. Main Ideas Continued • Using electron microscopes, scientists can study cell structure in detail. • Cells are classified as prokaryotic and eukaryotic based on whether or not they have membrane-bound organelles.

48. Main Ideas • Through selective permeability, the plasma membrane controls what enters and leaves a cell. • The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

49. Main Ideas • Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles, are enclosed by a plasma membrane, and some have a cell wall that provides support and protection. • Cells make proteins on ribosomes that are often attached to the highly folded endoplasmic reticulum. Cells store materials in the Golgi apparatus and vacuoles.

50. Main Ideas Continued • Mitochondria break down food molecules to release energy. Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy. • The cytoskeleton helps maintain cell shape, is involved in the movement of organelles and cells, and resists stress placed on cells.
