Living things are made of cells.
We will now study cells in detail.
CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION-
2
Cell membrane- with proteins “floating” in it.
CELL MEMBRANE
3
Membranes of the cell are selectively permeable (sometimes called semi-permeable)
1-Selective Permeability
– They allow some substances to cross more easily than others
– They block passage of some substances altogether
– Without this selectivity, the cell could not survive
4
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is the liquid in the cell and all the organelles in a cell.
The liquid part by itself is called cytosol.
The organelles are the little “organs” (not really organs- but we can think of them that way) that are in the cell.
Most have membranes very similar to the cell membrane
5
Cell model with cytoplasm (cytosol & organelles)
Think of the cytoplasm as everything inside the cell.
6
Organelles
Organelles are organized like small cells
Complete with their own phospholipid-bilayer membrane.
This membrane performs many of the same functions (basically controlling what goes in and out) as in the cell membrane
The organelles are in the cytoplasm
7
VesiclesAre packages of various molecules that need to be moved from one place to another in a cell.
Below- a vesicle “budding” or “pinching off ” from an organelle.
8
The vesicle fuses with the cell membrane.
This is part of the process of exocytosis- when the contents of a vesicle are released from the cell to be used elsewhere.
And releases its contents
9
The vesicle membrane is now part of the cell membrane.
10
Think pair share
1. What are the two functions of the cell membrane?
a. It is the outer boundary of the cell.
b. It controls which molecules go from one side of the membrane to the other
2. What is selective permeability?
Membrane controls what molecules pass through it.
3. Name the two parts of the cytoplasm.
a-liquid or cytosol
b-organelles
11
Think pair share
1. What quality does the cell share with every organelle?
A lipid bilayer. In other words, a double layered fat membrane.
2. Describe a vesicle in detail- structure, and function.
A membrane bound container with macromolecules, that can be moved around the cell. Vesicles can form from the cell membrane during endocytosis, or from organelles.
12
Cell Nucleus
Cell nucleus showing the nuclear envelope, nucleolus and chromatin. Chromatin is DNA that is visible, like fine threads.
13
The nucleus is the storehouse of information and the manager of the cell
Cell Nucleus
– Genes in the nucleus store information necessary to produce proteins
– The information must be copied from the DNA and then taken out of the nucleus so proteins can be made elsewhere in the cell.
– More about building proteins, and where that happens, later.
14
Ribosomes
Chromatin (uncoiled
chromosomes)Nuclearenvelope Nucleolus Pore
Diagram of nucleus and associated organelles.
15
The nucleus is bordered by a membrane called the nuclear envelope
Structure and Function of the Nucleus
– The nucleus contains chromatin (uncoiled chromosomes)
– Chromatin = DNA wrapped around proteins– The nucleus contains a nucleolus (containing
RNA)– We will explain the nucleolus and RNA a little
later in this section.– Right now, understand how DNA looks.
16
Think pair share
1. What is the main function of the nucleus?
Storage of DNA. Another way to say it is that the nucleus controls the whole cell.
2. Can DNA leave the nucleus?
NO!
17
DNA
DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid.
Contains the “directions” to allow any cell in your body to do everything it needs to do.
18
This is one “model” of DNA. It is supposed to show that it is like a ladder, with rungs, that is twisted. This model is focused on showing some other details that we will learn about later, so it does not show the twisting very well. You will see this model many times, later in this course.
19
DNA molecules are built just like a ladder. To make a better model, like the one in the next slide, we just need to twist the ladder into a spiral.
20
Here is a much better model for understanding that DNA is built just like a ladder that has been twisted.
21
DNA
Chromosomes & chromatin.Chromosomes are basically just DNA
wrapped up very tightly, almost exactly as you would coil an incredibly long rope if you wanted to fit the most rope in the smallest area.
Chromatin is that exact same DNA, in an uncoiled, kind of messy pile on the table.
22
This is a close up electron micrograph of bacterial DNA in its uncoiled state called chromatin.

29Chromosomes
30
Chromatin vs Chromosome
The DNA in cells is usually in the form of chromatin.
Chromosomes are formed when cells begin to divide.
So the picture on the preceding page, of a chromosome, is NOT what you should think of when DNA is doing its “normal” job of directing the cell to do all it needs to do.
Chromatin- ready for “normal” work
ready for cell to divideChromosome-
31
Cell dividing- showing chromosomes very clearly.
32
Think pair share
1. Explain chromatin and chromosomes.Chromatin is DNA wrapped around proteins, but
not tightly coiled. Unravelled, for everyday functions, easy to access and read.
Chromosomes are chromatin tightly wrapped, coiled compactly, getting ready for cell division.
2. What is a histone? The proteins around which DNA is ravelled. ACTIVITY- INSTRUCTOR LEAD CLASS IN
BUILDING A CHROMOSOME FROM ROPE AND PLASTIC GOLF BALLS.
33
DNA never leaves the nucleus.
DNA is “double stranded.
Single copies of it, called RNA, leave thru nuclear pores, and direct protein formation
34
Chromatin vs chromosome
All this coiling must have a reason.
Think of trying to copy DNA. How is it done?
The RNA has to be able to access or “get to” the DNA in order to actually copy one of its strands.
35
The RNA at right is a single stranded copy of the DNA.

It is single stranded, as you can see.
It is very similar to DNA, and has most of the same molecular structure.

43
NucleolusThe nucleolus is a specialized area of DNA that has information needed to make ribosomes.
Shows up as a dark spot inside the nucleus when we view a cell on a slide.
44
DNA controls the cell by transferring its coded information into RNA
How DNA Controls the Cell
– The information in the RNA is used to make proteins at the ribosomes
– After the protein is produced, the mRNA is recycled back to the nucleus

Think pair share
1. Take me from being DNA to a finished protein.
DNA- copied into mRNA. mRNA leaves the nucleus thru a nuclear pore. mRNA meets up with a ribosome, and the ribosome “reads” the mRNA for the recipe to make a protein. You should know by now that a protein is a string of amino acids that folds into a shape.
2. What is the function of the nucleolus?
It has information to make ribosomes.

51
ER- Features & Functions
provides an extensive surface area for a broad array of chemical reactions.
Manufacturing site of proteins and lipids (fats).
– Some used within the cell- released from ER to cytoplasm.
– Some exported from cell.• Enclosed in vesicles and transported to
Golgi Apparatus, a second processing center for the cell which we will study in the near future.
• Golgi apparatus sends it out of cell in vesicle
52
ER- Features & Functions
provides an extensive surface area for a broad array of chemical reactions.
Electron micrograph
Notice in the diagram how much surface area the ER has. Think of the surface area as a large workbench- lots of room to put chemicals together.
53
Why all this surface area?
Your cells perform thousands of chemical reactions every single day.
Enzymes are proteins that initiate and oversee chemical reactions.
They need working space on which to perform these chemical reactions. Just like putting together parts in a factory.
The ER provides surfaces for this to happen.

Two Kinds of Endoplasmic Reticulum- Rough & Smooth
ROUGH Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough ER)
– In most cells, a portion of the ER membrane is lined on its outer surface with ribosomes.
– These are the small protein-synthesizing organelles built in part by the nucleolus.
– In this case, the ER is spoken of as "rough" because it actually looks rough when viewed under a microscope.

A close up of the rough ER. The dark spots indicated by arrows are ribosomes that are on the surface of the membrane of the ER.
58
Two Kinds of Endoplasmic Reticulum- Rough & Smooth
•SMOOTH Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth ER)
•Where no ribosomes line its membrane, the ER is described as "smooth".
•Both kinds of ER usually exist at the same time in a cell.•Smooth ER manufactures lipids.
59
Rough ER Is A Major Site Of Protein Synthesis
RNA is a single stranded copy of DNA (which is double stranded). RNA copies the information from DNA, in the nucleus.
RNA oversees protein production (it has the recipe)
RNA moves through nuclear pores, into the cytosol, and eventually to the Endoplasmic Reticulum, where it joins with a ribosome.
It is here, on the surface of rough ER, that most proteins are made.
60
DNA never leaves the nucleus.
DNA is “double stranded.
Single copies of it, called RNA, leave thru nuclear pores, join with ribosomes on the surface of the rough ER, and produce proteins.DNA

63
Here is a much better model for understanding that DNA is built just like a ladder that has been twisted.
64
Model of ER, nucleus, nuclear pores, ribosomes and RNA.
The RNA is leaving the nucleus through nuclear pores and traveling to the outer surface of the ER, where it joins with a ribosome.

65

66
Once the ribosome binds to the ER, along with RNA (with the “ingredients list”)
the translation (that means translating from RNA language to an actual protein) begins
and the protein being synthesized on the ribosome is threaded through channels into the ER.
67
Ribosome joined with RNA (RNA not shown)
Amino acid chain (a protein) going inside ER.
Often packaged in vesicle for transport.
68
•Ribosomes may also be located elsewhere in the cytosol.
•They float somewhat freely throughout the cell and are called free ribosomes.
• Proteins synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm are not destined for
•export from the cell •or for incorporation into membranes (remember cell membranes have proteins mixed in with the lipid bilayer).
•They are released to function as enzymes within the cell.

Amino acid chain (protein)
69
Smooth ER
The smooth ER has no ribosomes and it is here that lipids are produced.
70
RIBOSOMES
Ribosomes are the protein builders of the cell.
When they build proteins, scientists say that they synthesize the proteins.
Ribosomes are found either floating around in the cytoplasm or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER).

•Recall that RNA is a copy of DNA, and DNA is in the nucleus.
•RNA leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores, and makes its way to a ribosome………
•on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum •or joins with a free ribosome.
•The RNA has the “ingredients” list for the protein to be made. •The ribosome has the enzymes to initiate and control the chemical reactions needed to put the protein together and is a sort of a machine that causes protein synthesis to occur.

1. What is translation?
Translating mRNA language for the recipe for a protein into an actual protein.
2. [Review question] Explain the relationship of a polar hydrogen on an amino acid, to a folded protein.
Hydrogens on various amino acids are polar. The order of amino acids determines exact locations of hydrogen bonds. This determines the exact folding, and thus particular shape, of a given protein.

1. In a nutshell, explain how DNA controls the entire cell, and in fact, your entire body.
DNA codes for proteins, which means all structures, enzymes and hormones. It has the code for everything your body does.

Golgi Apparatus & Lysosomes
83
Golgi was an Italian scientist who discovered this organelle.
An apparatus is an old fashioned word for a complex machine.
84
Golgi apparatus
receives vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum containing proteins.
Modifies molecules and transports them in transport vesicles.
creates a special kind of digestive vesicle called a lysosome which is discussed in more detail below.
can absorb molecules that are put into the cytosol by digestive acivities of lysosomes.
85
86
Another model of the Golgi apparatus.
87
The Golgi apparatus – gathers, – stores, – modifies (for example, removal
of water or emulsification of lipids),
– and packages……..
secretory products for distribution in membrane-wrapped secretory vesicles
•When we say a cell secretes a product, we mean that it creates it, using its organelles and chemicals that it has gathered.

94
Lysosomes
Lysosomes- these special vesicles with very powerful digestive enzymes, are created by the Golgi apparatus.
Cell digestion is done by lysosomes.
95
A lysosome is a membrane-enclosed sac which contains very powerful digestive enzymes.
It is really just a special kind of vesicle.
Together, all the lysosomes in a cell make up its digestive system.
Lysosomes break down macromolecules, damaged organelles, or even other cells, like bacteria, which a cell has “eaten”.
The cell uses the digested products to make all of its own new products- macromolecules, membranes, organelles and so on. Lysosomes are created by the Golgi apparatus.
96
•Many cells can “capture” molecules or other “cell food” from outside the cell
•This is called endocytosis.
•Endocytosis is pinching the cell membrane inward, pulling the “food” within the cell and forming a vesicle around it.
•The “food” within vesicle must be digested.
•The lysosome fuses with the food vesicle, and the enzymes can now digest whatever is in the secondary lysosome (food vesicle joined w/lysosome).
“Eating stuff from outside the cell.
97
•A kind of endocytosis- called phagocytosis.
•Phago- “eating”
•Cyto- cell
•“Cell eating”

Digestion
Lysosomes digest damaged organelles as well.
The lysosome simply surrounds the damaged organelle (or a piece of one) and digests it.
101
Enzymes are protein molecules that either speed up or allow chemical reactions.
Lysosomes contain powerful
digestive enzymes.
102
Because they are proteins, we know enzymes start out in the rough ER and are sent to the Golgi apparatus.
Rough ER

103
The Golgi apparatus packages these enzymes into a vesicle, and a lysosome has been created.
Lysosome- really just a specialized vesicle.
104
Waste products from digestion by lysosomes are disposed of when the secondary lysosome travels back to the cell membrane and accomplishes exocytosis.
Food vesicle, digestion complete.
exocytosis
105
•Exocytosis- contents of the vesicle leave the cell.
•Could be digested material from a vesicle.
•Or products for export to be used elsewhere in the body.
106
Movie clip #2- Endocytosis and exocytosis.
107
If the very powerful digestive enzymes in lysosomes were left to float around the cell, they would actually digest the cell itself. They MUST be contained. This brings up an important and unanswered question: If the enzymes in a lysosome can break down anything in a cell, why don't they break down the lysosome too?

Microfilaments & Microtubules
Microfilaments and Microtubules together make up the cell “skeleton” or cytoskeleton. Cyto= cell. “Cell skeleton”.
Cilia and flagella are made of groups of microfilaments and are external projections that help cells move.
116
Cell skeleton or cytoskeleton.
117Artistic view of the cytoskeleton.
118
The cytoskeleton is an infrastructure of the cell consisting of a network of microtubules and microfilaments
Function of the cytoskeleton
Maintaining Cell Shape- the Cytoskeleton
– Provide mechanical support to the cell and maintain its shape
– Allow cell to move or change shape.
119
Flagella propel the cell in a whiplike motion
Cilia move in a coordinated back-and-forth motion

121
122
Some cilia or flagella extend from nonmoving cells
– The human windpipe is lined with cilia
– These cilia move in a coordinated fashion to move mucus up and out of the windpipe, along with unwanted material (like dust). They “clean” your windpipe.
123
Cross section of some cilia, showing the microtubules that run the length of this organelle.
Cilia and flagella are basically a long extension of the cell membrane wrapped around microtubules with some cytosol present.
124
Microfilaments are the basic structure in muscle cells.
125
Basal body, centriole
Basal Bodies and Centrioles are two more structures made of microtubules. Basal bodies anchor cilia and flagella to the cell membrane. Centrioles are basal bodies that have moved inside the cell and have a role in cell division that we will study later.

There are two main categories of plastids: chromoplasts (colored plastids) and leucoplasts (white or colorless plas tids).
132
PLASTIDS
Chromoplasts (Chromo = “color”, plast = “container”, colored container).
Chromoplasts give many flowers, ripe fruits, and autumn leaves their characteristic yellow or orange color.
Some chromoplasts give leaves and grass their green color.
