Importance of Cells




A cell is

  • The smallest unit of life in all living things
  • organized with structures that carry out the activities of life
  • made of even smaller parts with each doing a different job

Cell Theory




Three main ideas

  • All living things are made up of one or more cells
  • The cell is the basic unit of life in which ...
  • All cells come from existing cells

The World of Cells

  • Larger organisms are made of many cells
  • Cells work together to perform all an organism's activities of life
  • Your body contains more than 10 Trillion cells

Microscopes

  • Better microscopes have helped scientists learn about the differences among cells
  • The microscope shown in a compound microscope
  • in this type of microscope, light passes through the objects you are looking at, then through two lenses.

Two Types of Cells


  • Prokaryotic Cell
  • Eukeryotic Cell

Prokaryotic Cell



  • Does not have structures surrounded by membranes
  • Few internal structures, very simplified
  • One-celled (unicellular) organisms

example - bateria

Eukaryotic Cell

•Containsorganelles surrounded by membranes


•Canbe single-cellular or multicellular organisms


•Examples:Plants, animals, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes



Cell Membrane


  • a flexible structure that holds the cell together which forms a boundary between the cell and its environment. It controls what enters and exits the cell and is present in each cell.

Cell Wall

helps support and protect these cells and can be found in plants, fungi and bateria


a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.

Cytoplasm

inside of a cell is filled with a gel-like substance



  • all cells have cytoplasm
  • mostly water (70%) and other chemicals like proteins, calcium, and salts

the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

Ribosome


  • Suspended in the cytoplasm
  • Make proteins (translates DNA Code)
  • each cell contains thousands of ribosomes
  • all cells contain ribosomes


Organelle - (membrane bound)



  • are specialized parts
  • perform activities necessary for life - think of them as "little organs" in the cell
  • can move around in the cytoplasm


Nucleus


  • only in Eukaryotic cells
  • inside the nucleus are chromosomes
  • "control center" of the cell
  • *Bacterial cells (Prokaryotic) have NO nucleus

the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.

Rough Endoplasmic reticulum


  • makes, processes and transports proteins winthin the cell
  • Called rough ER because of the ribosomes found on the surface

Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum


  • makes and transports Lipids (fats) and other material within the cell
  • Called smooth ER because no ribosomes are found on the surface

Golgi apparatus


  • Process and bundles proteins & lipids (fats) as they are made in the cell



a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

Vesicles

  • a small, round organelle
  • the space inside the vesicle can be chemically different from the cytoplasm
  • can perform various metabolic activities; transport and store molecules


Vacuole

  • are a balloon like substance that stores food, water, etc.
  • some vacuoles store wastes until the cell is ready to get rid of it
  • present in all plants, no in other types of cells

Mitochondria - mi·to·chon·dri·a

  • in eukaryotic cells only
  • generates most of cell's energy
  • cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria
  • Mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell
  • Mitochondria looks like beans
  • in the Mitochondria energy is released as food and oxygen combined
  • waste products: carbon dioxide and water

Cellular respiration

is a series of reaction in which energy in food is converted into energy that a cell can use



  • energy is released as food and water combined
  • waste products: carbon dioxide & water

ATP


  • is the energy used by cells
  • stands for Adensoine triphosphate

Chloroplast

  • found in Plants and algae
  • Contain chlorophyll (green pigment)
  • where photosynthesis takes place
  • changes sunlight (solar energy) to glucose (chemical energy)

sunlight + carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen

Unicellular

Made up of only one cell

offspring

the product of reproduction

organization of life

subatomic particles ->atoms ->molecule ->cell(L) -> tissue -> organ-> organ system -> organism (L) -> population (L) -> community (L) -> ecosystem (L) -> biophere (L)

multicellural

made up of two or more cells
