Throughout this presentation, please answer all questions in complete sentences and complete mini assignments where requested.

The Cell› The basic unit of an organism› Discovery made possible by the invention of the microscope

1.)

2.)

3.)

All organisms are made up of one or more cells.

Cells carry out the functions needed to support life.

All cells come from other cells all ready in existence.

Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environments.

Like archaebacteria, bacteria are complex and single celled.  Most bacteria are in the BACTERIA domain. They are the kinds found everywhere and are the ones people are most familiar with. 

Has chloroplasts, central vacuole, and cell wall

Has lysosomes.

1) Prokaryote› Lacks internal

compartments.› No true nucleus.› Most are single-

celled (unicellular) organisms.

› Examples: bacteria

2) Eukaryote› Has several

internal structures (organelles).

› True nucleus.› Either unicellular

or multicellular. unicellular

example: yeast multicellular

examples: plants and

animals

Cellular Organelles5.) For each of the following organelles,

***DO NOT DRAW LINES UNTIL YOU HAVE WRITTEN ALL INFORMATION***

A) Plasma Membrane -- Serves as a boundary between the cell and its external environment.

-- Allows materials to pass in and out of the cell.

B) Cell Wall-- Surrounds the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, bacteria, and fungi.-- Plant cell walls contain cellulose while fungi cell walls contain chitin.

A) Nucleus Regulates cell function. Surrounded by a double-layered membrane (nuclear enveloped) with large pores that allow materials to pass in and out of the nucleus.

Contains chromatin – long tangles of DNA.

B) NucleolusFound in the nucleus and responsible for ribosome production. Ribosomes are the sites of protein production.

A.) CytoplasmThe jelly-like material that surrounds the organelles.

A) Endoplasmic reticulumFolded membrane that acts as the cell’s delivery system.

Smooth E.R. contains enzymes for lipid synthesis.

Rough E.R. is studded with ribosomes for protein synthesis.

B) Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body)A series of flattened sacs where newly made lipids and proteins from the E.R. are repackaged and shipped to the plasma membrane.

A) VacuolesA sac of fluid surrounded by a membrane used to store food, fluid, or waste products.

B) LysosomesContain a digestive enzyme.

Can fuse with vacuoles to digest food, or can digest worn cell parts.

Also known as “suicide sacs” because they can also destroy the whole cell.

Mitochondria Produce the

energy for the cell.

Also known as the “powerhouse of the cell”.

Has a highly folded inner membrane (cristae).

B) Chloroplasts-- Found in plant cells and some protists.-- Transforms light energy into chemical energy which is stored in food molecules.-- Contain chlorophyll – a green pigment that traps light energy and gives plants their green color.

› CytoskeletonA network of thin, fibrous materials that act as a scaffold and support the organelles.

Microtubules – hollow filaments of protein.

Microfilaments – solid filaments of protein.

1) CiliaShort, numerous, hair-like projections from the plasma membrane.

Move with a coordinated beating action.

B) FlagellaLonger, less numerous projections from the plasma membrane.

Move with a whiplike action.

Centrioles– made of protein.– play a role in the splitting of the

cell into two cells.– found in animal and fungi cells.
