The Cell
What is a cell?
is the basic structural and functional unit of
all known living organisms. It is the smallest
unit of life that is classified as a living thing,
and is often called the building block of life.

Two types of Cell

2. Prokayotic Cell
Two types of Cells
MC 2: BIOCHEMISTRY
Eukaryotic Cell
are much more complicated than those of
prokaryotes. They are packed with a
fascinating array of subcellular structures that
play important roles in energy balance,
metabolism, and gene expression.
Nucleus
is a membrane-enclosed
organelle found in
eukaryotic cells. It
contains most of the
cell's genetic material.

Nucleus Cytplasm Plasma Membrane
is a membrane-enclosed The semi-fluid, is the membrane found
organelle found in gelatinous material in the in all cells that separates
eukaryotic cells. It outside of the nucleus the interior of the cell
contains most of the and inside of the plasma from the outside
cell's genetic material membrane. environment.
Prokaryotic Cell
Is simpler, and therefore smaller, than a eukaryote
cell, lacking a nucleus and most of the other
organelles of eukaryotes.

Parts of a
Plant Cell
Plant Cell
Plant cells are the building
blocks of all plants.
Plant Cell
They are eukaryotic cells that vary in several
fundamental factors from other eukaryotic
organisms. Plant cells are composed of
different parts. Each part has specific
functions.
The following are the parts of a plant cell:
Cell Wall
Rigid layer composed of
polysaccharides cellulose,
pectin, and hemicellulose
located outside the cell
membrane.
Protect and provides structural
support and tensile strenght
against mechanical and
osmotic stress.
The formation of the cell wall is
guided by microtubules
Nucleus
This round organelle is in
the center of the cell. It
stores DNA. It is the control
center of the cell.
Central Vacuole
Vacuoles help maintain
water balance in plant cells
and turgor pressure which
allows the cell to take in
more light energy through
photosynthesis. Occupies
30% of the cell's volume in a
mature plant cell.
Golgi Apparatus
It is the part that helps
process and package
proteins and lipid
molecules in the plant cell.
Chemically modifies
proteins by sythesizing and
attaching molecules like
glycoproteins and
lipoproteins.
Chloroplast
It is the part that produces
food in a plant cell because
this isthe cholopyhll-
containing organelle.
has two distinct regions:
Grana and Stoma
Mitochondria
It is the power house of the
cell. Provides majority of
energy for the cell. Major
site for ATP production.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Two types of it are smooth
endoplasmic reticulum and
rough endoplasmic
reticulum.
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Attached with ribosomes,
produce protein for export.
Produced proteins by
ribosomes are also
modified for secretion into
the extracellular space.
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Smooth endoplasmic
reticulum manifacture
lipids which helps to form
vesicles around the cell
and contribute to plasma
membrane.

Animal Cell
Animal Cell
An animal cell is the smallest
biological unit of life found in
animals.
Animal Cell
Animal cells are composed of different
parts. Each part has specific functions. The
following are the parts of an animal cell:
Nucleus
Membrane-enclosed
organelle found in eukaryotic
cells. It contains most of the
cell's genetic information.
Vacuole
- Membrane-bound organelle
- Vacoule are essentially enclosed
compartments which are fulled with
inorganic and organic molecules
includining enzymes.
Golgi Apparatus
- packages proteins inside the
cell
- integral in modifying, sorting,
and packaging these
macromolecules for cell
secretion or use within the cell
Lysosome
- Are cellular organelles that
contain acid hydrolase
enzymes to break down
material and cellular debris
-Function as the digestive
system of the cell
Cell Membrane
- AKA the plasma membrane
- Biological membrane that
separates the interior of all
cells from the outside
environment.
Mitochondria
- It is the powerhouse of the cell
- Found in endoplasmic
reticulum

Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of
solutes from an area of
higher solute concentration
to an area of lower solute
concentration.
Equilibrium
State in which the concentrations of
the solute are equal.
Concentration Gradient
Difference in the concentration of a
substance between two areas.
