•Prokaryotic
•Eukaryotic
Types of Cells
• Prokaryotic • Eukaryotic
– Simple cell – Complex cell
– No membrane-bound – Membrane-bound
organelles organelles
– Chromosome not – Chromosomes
contained in nucleus contained in nucleus
– Small cells – Larger cells
– Ex - bacteria – Ex – all other
organisms
Prokaryotic
• Do not have
structures
surrounded by
membranes
• Few internal
structures
• One-celled
organisms, Bacteria
Eukaryotic
• Contain organelles surrounded by membranes
• Most living organisms

6.9 Plasmodesmata
Plant cells have some parts
that animal cells don’t
• Cell Wall
• Central Vacuole
• Plastids
– Chloroplasts
– Leukoplasts
– chromoplasts
What animal cells have that
plant cells don’t
• Centrioles– function during cell
division
• Lysosomes – contain digestive
enzymes
Cell Parts
Organelles
Cellular Organelles – small,
specialized structures in the
Surrounding the Cell
Cell Membrane
• Outer membrane of cell
that controls movement
in and out of the cell
• Double layer
Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane
separates the living cell from
its nonliving surroundings. This
membrane:
Is about 8 nm thick
Surround the cell and
controls traffic into and out
of the cell
Is selectively permeable,
allowing some substances
to cross more easily than
others.
• Cell Membrane – Double layer of lipids
(fats) that lets stuff in and out of cell
Membrane Structure
The phospholipids and
proteins in
membranes create a
unique physical
environment,
described by the fluid
mosaic model.
The membrane is a
fluid structure with
proteins embedded
or attached to a
double layer of
phospholipids.
Fluid Model by Singer and
Nicolson
1972 - SJ Singer and
G.L Nicolson
proposed the fluid
mosaic model which
accounted for the
amphipathic characteristic
of proteins.
Fluid mosaic model
The
membrane is a
fluid structure
with a “mosaic”
of various
proteins
embedded in or
attached to a
double layer
(bilayer) of
phospholipids
Structure and Function of Organelles
cell (plasma) membrane
• Nucleus
– Nickname: “The Control Center”
– Function: holds the DNA
– Parts:
1. Nucleolus: dark spot in the middle of the
nucleus that helps make ribosomes
Nucleus
• Control center of cell
• Contains Chromosomes
• Humans have 46 in each cell
• Made of DNA
- control heredity
- control protein synthesis
• Surrounded by double membrane –
nuclear membrane
• Cell Membrane
Nuclear Membrane
• Surrounds nucleus
• Made of two layers
• Openings allow
material to enter and
leave nucleus
Nucleolus
• Contains RNA to
build proteins
Nucleolus
• Within nucleus
• May be more than one
• Makes ribosomes
• Rich in RNA
Cytoplasm
• Gel-like mixture
• Surrounded by cell membrane
• Contains hereditary material
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Moves materials around
in cell
• Smooth type: lacks
ribosomes
• Rough type (pictured):
ribosomes embedded in
surface
Eukaryotic Cell Organelles and
Function
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
– Nickname: “Roads”
– Function: The internal delivery system
of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Transports materials through the
cytoplasm
• There are two distinct regions of ER
– Smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes
– Rough ER, which contains ribosomes
Functions of Smooth ER
1. The Smooth ER – no ribosomes attached
– Function:
• Synthesizes fats or lipids
• Metabolizes carbohydrates
• Stores calcium
• Detoxifies poison, wastes
Functions of Rough ER
1. The Rough ER – have ribosomes attached
» Rough appearance because it has ribosomes
– Function:
• helps Produces proteins and membranes,
that’s why it has ribosomes, which are
distributed by transport vesicles
• Transport proteins
• Helps make membranes
Ribosomes
• Each cell contains
thousands
• Found on ribosomes &
floating throughout the
cell
Ribosomes
• Some are free,
some are attached
to endoplasmic
reticulum.
• Smallest
organelles
• Found in all cells,
prokaryotic and
eukaryotic
Ribosomes and Function
• Ribosomes
– Function: makes proteins
Mitochondria and Function
• Mitochondria
– Nickname: “The Powerhouse”
– Function: Energy formation
• Breaks down food to make ATP
– ATP: is the major fuel for all cell activities
that require energy
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
Mitochondrion
• Site of cellular respiration – food is
broken down to release energy.
Golgi Bodies
• Protein 'packaging
plant'
• Move materials within
the cell
• Move materials out of
the cell
Golgi Complex and Function
• Golgi Complex
– Nickname: The shippers
– Function: packages, modifies, and
transports materials to different location
inside/outside of the cell
– Appearance: stack of pancakes
Golgi Body
• Packages cell secretions
• Makes lysosomes
– Contain digestive enzymes
for breaking down food in
food vacuoles and old, worn
out structures – ex – sperm
tail after fertilization.
Lysosome
• Digestive 'plant' for
proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates
• Transports undigested
material to cell
membrane for removal
• Cell breaks down if
lysosome explodes
Lysosomes and Function
• Lysosomes: circular, but bigger than
ribosomes)
– Nickname: “Clean-up Crews”
– Function: to break down food into
particles the rest of the cell can use and
to destroy old cells
Chromosomes
• In nucleus
• Made of DNA
• Contain instructions
for traits &
characteristics
Vacuoles
• Membrane-bound sacs
for storage, digestion,
and waste removal
• Contains water
solution
• Help plants maintain
shape
Chloroplasts
Chloroplast
• Usually found in plant
cells
• Contains green
chlorophyll
• Where photosynthesis
takes place
Chloroplasts and Function
• Chloroplasts
– Function: traps energy from the sun to
produce food for the plant cell
– Green in color because of chlorophyll,
which is a green pigment
Structures used for
Movement
• Cilia •Flagella
