Cells are
the structural, functional, and reproductive units of life
Cell Theory
life from life
Biodeegenisiis
Scans the surface
Sem
Transmission penetrates
‘through’ structure
Tem
magnifies many thousand
times larger than actual size
* And improves resolution
TEM
SEM
EM
Most cells and cell parts are between how many microns
1-100 microns
Transport is both facilitated and limited by the
Plasma Membrane
The area of membrane must be great enough to meet needs
of cytoplasm’s metabolic requirements
Small
* Less structurally complex
* No nucleus
Prokaryotic Cells
Large (relative to prokaryotes)
* Structurally complex
* Nucleus
Eukaryotic
Double membrane
* Nuclear ‘pores’ (points of
passage through membrane
Nuclear Envelope
Function as sites of protein synthesis
Ribsosomes
Provides compartmentalization of cytoplasm
– Segregation of function
– Isolates and concentrates reactants, enzymes
– Synthesis, modification, packaging
EMS
Internal membrane continuous with the
nuclear envelope
Endoplasmac reticulum
involved in lipid synthesis
– Also in detoxification of poisons in liver cells
– Calcium storage in muscle cells
Smooth ER
produces protein
– Distributes protein into membranous
sacs called Vesicles
Rough Er
Prepares for shipment to destination inside or
outside (from the trans side
Gogli Apparatus
Vesicles containing digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
Plant cells have a
– Provides turgidity
Central Vacuole
Energy Conversion Organelles
(not part of the EMS)
Mitochondria
Energy Conversion Organelles
(not part of the EMS)
Chloroplast
Energy Conversion Organelles
(not part of the EMS)
Perixomews
site of cellular respiration
– Double membrane
* Outer membrane and highly folded inner membrane
* Folds of the Inner membrane called Crista
Mitochondira
site of photosynthesis
– Double membrane organelle
– Inner membrane folded into sacs called Thylakoids
* Contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis
Chloroplast
