TRANSCRIPT
A cell is the smallest unit of all living beings. ◦ They are the structrural and functional units for
all thing things How many cells are there in the human
body? 1,800,000 to 2,400,000 dead skin cells fall
off every hour, so billions fall off everyday.
Plasmatic membrane
Cytoplasm
DNA
Animal Cell Plant Cell
You-care-ee-ot-ick = EukaryoticYou-care-ee-oat = Eukaryote
Genetic material is a long molecule of DNA, called Nucleoid and sometimes small fragments of DNA called plasmids
Do not have any organelles, except ribosomes (carry out protein synthesis)
◦ Flagella( movement) and◦ Fimbriae(enable bacteria to
attach themselves to surfaces)
Example: Bacteria
Many chemical reactions take place in the plasmatic membrane, which has folds called mesosomes
◦ They have a rigid cover, called the cell wall

Like a company What kinds of jobs are there in a company? These are the types of jobs that the
organelles do within the cell. Let’s look a few:
◦ Cell membrane, Nucleus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi body, Vesicles, and Mitochondria
What does it do?◦ Controls what enters
and exits the cell Where is it on the
diagram?◦ The blue exterior of
the cell
◦ More functions of cell membrane:
◦ Detects stimuli◦ and allows
communication between cells
Cytoplasm fills the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus
It contains: Organelles Cytosqueleton which is a
network of filaments that gives shape to the cell and enables it to move
What does it do?◦ It controls what the cell
does. (Genetic material)
It’s a large organelle inside it (nucleolus)
It has it’s own membrane: nuclear envelope with nuclear pores.
Nucleolus is a round, dense structure where ribosomes are formed.
Chromatin: It is a combination of DNA and proteins which makes up the genetic material.
In cell division,
chromatin
condenses (makes
Shorter) into
chromosomes
The nucleus is surrounded by a porous
double membrane and contains a substance similar to cytoplasm (nucleoplasm)
Lysosomes
Lysosomes
• Lysosomes are organelles that carry out digestion in the cell.

Centrioles
• Centrioles control the movement of the chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis
• They are also used in the formation of cilia and flagella, filaments that are responsible for the cell’s movement.

Rough E.R. What does it do?
Modifies proteinsReceives proteins from “free” ribosomes and transport them to the Golgi body
Smooth E.R.Lipids (fats) are synthesized here
What do they do?◦ Store substances to
be used later or to be thrown away
Vak-you-ols = Vacuoles
Lysosomes: Rounded vesicles produced by the G………..
Inside the lysosomes are hydrolitic enzymes.
Fuction: cellular digestion
What does it do?◦ Receives
substances, modifies them, and then sends them out
Why do you think there are so many vesicles surrounding this organelle?
Gol-gee Body= Golgi Body
Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus
• The Golgi apparatus processes and packages substances. The vesicles transport the substances to other part of the cell or outside.

What does it do?Through cellular respiration, mitochondria produce most of the energy of a cell
Do you think cells have just one mitochondrion?
Why or why not?

Endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic reticulum
• The E.R. transports proteins made by the ribosomess and sends them to the Golgi apparatus.
