  1. Cell Structure & Function http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html

  2. Cell Theory • All living things are made up of cells. • Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. • All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.

  3. Definition of Cell A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.

  4. Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Bacteria Red Blood Cell Nerve Cell

  5. Cells, Cells, Cells! • Contain organelles surrounded by membranes • Most living organisms Plant Animal http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html

  6. “Typical” Plant Cell http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/plant3.gif

  7. “Typical” Animal Cell http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/images/cell.gif

  8. Cell Parts Organelles

  9. Surrounding the Cell

  10. Cell Membrane • Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell • Double layer • “Outer limits of the city” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  11. Cell Wall • Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria • Supports & protects cells http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  12. Inside the Cell

  13. Nucleus • Directs cell activities • Contains genetic material – DNA • Like the “city hall” or “master computer” of the cell

  14. Nuclear Membrane • Surrounds nucleus • Made of two layers • Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  15. Chromosomes • In nucleus • Made of DNA • Contain instructions for traits & characteristics http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  16. Nucleolus • Inside nucleus • Contains RNA to build proteins http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  17. Cytoplasm • Gel-like mixture • Surrounded by cell membrane • Contains hereditary material • It’s the “jello” in fruit gelatin

  18. Ribosomes • Each cell contains thousands • Make proteins • Found on endoplasmic reticulum & floating throughout the cell http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  19. Endoplasmic Reticulum • Moves materials around in cell • Smooth type: lacks ribosomes • Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface • “The highway of the cell” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  20. Mitochondria • Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates • Controls level of water and other materials in cell • Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  21. Golgi Bodies • Protein 'packaging plant' • Move materials within the cell • Move materials out of the cell • “The UPS of the cell” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  22. Lysosome • Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates • Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal • “The trash compactor of the cell” http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html

  23. Animal Cells vs. Plant Cells
