Discovery of the Cell

• Invention of the microscope

-Robert Hooke: used a simple microscope to look at cork in 1665. He called what he saw “chambers” or “cells”

-Anton van Leeuwenhoek: used a single lens microscope to observe pond water and found a new world of living things.

Cell Theory

• After numerous observations, scientists compiled their thoughts to form the cell theory.

• The cell theory states:

1. All living things are composed of cells

2. Cells are the basic structure and function in living things

3. New cells are produced from existing cells

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

• Does it have a Nucleus?

• Nucleus: membrane bound organelle that contains genetic information (DNA). Controls the cells activities

• *HINT*• “U-CARRY-IT” *HAS A NUCLEUS• Eukaryote *has a nucleus• Prokaryote *does NOT

Prokaryotes vs. Eurkaryotes

Cells do not contain a nucleus

Cells contain a nucleus

No membrane bound organelles

Membrane bound organelles

DNA is found within (no specific area)

DNA is found in nucleus

Ex: bacteria Ex: animal cell, plant cell

Prokaryote

Two Types of Eukaryotes

Eukaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic cells are divided into two major parts: organelles and cytoplasm.

• Organelles are “little organs” with specialized functions.

• Cytoplasm (both) is the major portion of the cell outside the nucleus.

Nucleus (both)

• Controls most cell processes

• Contains DNA- instructions for life

• NUCLEOLUS (both)

– Region inside nucleus where assembly of ribosomes begin

Nucleus Con’tNUCLEAR ENVELOPE (both)

surrounds the nucleus allows materials to comein and out

CHROMATIN (both)

Granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA

Ribosomes (both)

• Produce PROTEINS by following coded instructions from the nucleus

Endoplasmic reticulum (both)

• 2 Kinds of ER– SMOOTH= is smooth– ROUGH=has ribosomes on it **“BUMPY”

• FUNCTIONS:• Lipid components of the cell membrane

are assembled in the ER.

• The ER is where proteins and other materials are exported from the cell

Golgi apparatus (both)

• Function: modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials for storage or secretion

• Put the “finishing touches” on proteins before they are ready to leave the “factory”

Lysosomes (both)

• Filled with digestive enzymes

FUNCTION:• Break down lipids, carbohydrates, or

proteins or break down organelles that are no longer useful.

• Clean up the “junk”

Vacuoles (both)

• Sac-like structures that store materials.

• “Storage bins”

• ***It is very large in a plant cell

Mitochondria (both)

• “Powerhouse” of the cells

• Convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convient for the cell to use.

• Key function: ENERGY or ATP

Chloroplasts (plant only)

• Only found in plants

• Contain chlorophyll

• Capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis

Cytoskeleton (both)

• Network of proteins that helps the cell maintain its shape.

• Made of Microfilaments and Microtubules

• In Animal cells there are CENTRIOLES– They help with cell division
