Protista
Prokaryotes:
• No true nucleus
• No membrane-bound organelles
Cell Wall composed of peptidoglycan
Reproduce asexually by budding and fission
Very small (1 - 10 µm)
Kingdom Archaebacteria
Eu- Archae- Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia
bacteria bacteria
Eukaria
Prokaryotes: No true nucleus
No membrane-bound organelles
like
mitochondria or chloroplasts
NO peptidoglycan in cell wall
Reproduce asexually by budding and fission
Very small (1 - 10 µm)
“Extreme” environments (high temperatures)
Prokaryotic
Cells
Eukaryotes
Eu- Archae- Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia
bacteria bacteria
Eukaryotes: True
nucleus Membrane-bound
organelles
Cell size generally 10 - 100 µm
At least 4 lineages:
Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
Eukaryotic Cells
Typical Animal
Cell
Eukaryotic Cell
Contain 3 basic cell
structures:
Nucleus
Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm with
organelles
14
Two Main Types of
Eukaryotic Cells
Inside
of cell Protein
(cytoplasm) channel Lipid bilayer 17
Structure of the Cell Membrane
Phospholipids
Most abundant lipid
Polar/hydrophilic head(attracted to water)
Pair of nonpolar/hydrophobic tails(repelled by
water)
Hydrophilic
head
Hydrophobic
tails
Phospholipid bilayer:
Polar heads, outside & inside
Nonpolar
tails in the interior Cell
Membranes
Phospholipids
Heads contain glycerol &
phosphate and are hydrophilic
(attract water)
Tails are made of fatty acids
and are hydrophobic (repel
water)
Make up a bilayer where tails
point inward toward each other
Can move laterally to allow
small molecules (O2, CO2, &
H2O to enter)
21
The Cell Membrane is Fluid
• Lies immediately
against the cell wall
in plant cells
• Pushes out against
the cell wall to
maintain cell shape
24
Cell Wall Cell wall
25
Cytoplasm of a Cell
cytoplasm
• Jelly-like substance
enclosed by cell
membrane
• Provides a medium
for chemical
reactions to take
place
26
More on Cytoplasm
cytoplasm
• Contains organelles
to carry out specific
jobs
27
The Control Organelle - Nucleus
• Controls the normal
nuclear envelope
(membrane) with pores
• Usually the largest 30
More on the Nucleus
Nucleus
number of
chromosomes that
carry genes
• Genes control cell
characteristics 31
Nuclear Envelope
Double membrane surrounding
nucleus
Also called nuclear membrane
Contains nuclear pores for
materials to enter & leave
nucleus
Nuclear
pores
32
The
Inside the Nucleus -
genetic material (DNA) is found
34
Nucleolus
Inside nucleus
Disappears when
cell divides
Makes ribosomes
that make
proteins
35
Rough and
Smooth ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum - ER
Network of hollow membrane tubules
Connects to nuclear envelope & cell
membrane
Functions in Synthesis of cell products &
Transport
38
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
(Rough ER)
Proteins are made
by ribosomes on ER
surface
They are then
threaded into the
interior of the
Rough ER to be
modified and
transported
39
Functions of the Smooth ER
Makes membrane
lipids (steroids)
Regulates calcium
(muscle cells)
Destroys toxic
substances
(Liver)
40
Ribosomes
Can be attached to
Rough ER
OR
Be free
(unattached)
in the
cytoplasm
42
Mitochondrion
(plural = mitochondria)
“Powerhouse” of the cell
Generate cellular energy
(ATP)
More active cells like
muscle cells have MORE
mitochondria
Both plants & animal cells
have mitochondria
Site of CELLULAR
RESPIRATION (burning
glucose)
44
MITOCHONDRIA
Surrounded by a DOUBLE membrane
Has its own DNA
Folded inner membrane
called CRISTAE
(increases surface area
for more chemical
Reactions)
• Cells take in
food by
phagocytosis
• Lysosomes
digest the
food & get rid
of wastes
52
Cytoskeleton
Cilia & Flagella
Function in moving
cells, in moving fluids,
or in small particles
across the cell surface
55
Cilia & Flagella
56
Cillia & Flagella- 9x2 arrangement
0.1 micrometer
Flagellum
Flagellar Movement
Ciliated Epithelium
