The Cell Theory
All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
7.1 Cell Discovery and Theory
Cellular Structure and Function
The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms.
Chapter 7
All cells come from preexisting cells.
Cellular Structure and Function
Light Microscopes
Utilizes a series of glass lenses and visible light to magnify an image
Magnifies images up to 1,000 times the actual size
7.1 Cell Discovery and Theory
Chapter 7
Electron Microscopes
Cellular Structure and Function
Utilizes magnets to aim a beam of electrons ata cell to produce an image

7.1 Cell Discovery and Theory
Chapter 7
Plasma Membrane Thin, flexible boundary between the cell
and its environment
7.2 The Plasma Membrane
Cellular Structure and Function
Allows nutrients into the cell Allows waste to leave the cell
Chapter 7
Selective Permeability
Cellular Structure and Function
The plasma membrane controls the movement ofsubstances into and out of the cell.
Plasma Membrane Controls the amount of a
substance entering the cell Controls the amount of a
substance leaving the cell
7.2 The Plasma Membrane
Chapter 7
The plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer.
Cellular Structure and Function
A phospholipid molecule is composed of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphate group.
7.2 The Plasma Membrane
Chapter 7
Fluid Mosaic Model
Cellular Structure and Function
The phospholipid bilayer allows other molecules to “float” in the membrane.
Other Components Proteins Cholesterol Carbohydrates

Chapter 7
Proteins
Cellular Structure and Function
Transmit signals inside the cell Act as a support structure Provide pathways for substances to enter and leave
7.2 The Plasma Membrane
Chapter 7
Cholesterol
Cellular Structure and Function
Prevents fatty acid tails from sticking together
