OBJECTIVES:




Outline the discoveries that led to the
development of the Cell Theory.
State the cell theory.
Describe the relationship between cell
shape & cell function.
Distinguish between prokaryotes and
eukaryotes.
3.1 History






1. In 1660, the English Scientist Robert Hooke used a
microscope to examine a thin slice of cork and described it as
consisting of "a great many little boxes". Named “cells”.
2. 1673, Antony Von Leeuwenhoek – improved lenses and
advanced cell biology by viewing red blood cells and sperm.
3. 1838, German Botanist Matthias Schleiden - PLANT cells
4. 1839, German Zoologist Theodor Schwann –ANIMAL
cells
5. In 1855, German Physician Rudolf Virchow induced that
THAT CELLS ONLY COME FROM OTHER CELLS".
6. His statement contradicted the idea that life could arise
from Nonliving Matter. "Theory of Spontaneous
Generation" The process by which life begins when ethers
enter nonliving things.
CELL THEORY



A. All living things are composed of
one or more cells.
B. Cells are the basic units of
structure & function in an
organism.
C. Cells come only from
reproduction of existing cells.
How Do We “See” Cells?



Compound Light
Microscope
TEM
SEM
So What is “A Cell”?



The CELL is the smallest unit of matter that
CAN Carry on ALL the PROCESSES OF LIFE.
Both Living and Nonliving Things are
composed of molecules made from chemical
elements such as carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen.
The organization of these molecules into Cells
is one feature that distinguishes Living Things
from all other matter.
CELL SHAPE - Video




Variety of Shapes
SHAPE DEPENDS ON
FUNCTION – Examples?
Example:Cells of Nervous
System that carry
information from your toes to
your brain are long and
threadlike.
6. Blood Cells are shaped
like round disk that can
squeeze through tiny blood
vessels.
INTERNAL
ORGANIZATION




1. Cells contain a variety of Internal
Structures called ORGANELLES.
2. An organelle PERFORMS SPECIFIC
FUNCTIONS FOR THE CELL.
3. The entire cell is Surrounded by A THIN
MEMBRANE, called the CELL MEMBRANE
4. A Large Organelle near the Center of the
Cell is the NUCLEUS. IT CONTAINS THE
CELL'S GENETIC INFORMATION AND
CONTROLS THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CELL.
Why Aren’t Cells Bigger?

Surface-to-volume
ratio
3.2 Different Cell Types Characterize Life’s
Three Domains
Introducing Prokaryotic Cells



1. ORGANISMS WHOSE CELL
CONTAIN A NUCLEUS AND
OTHER MEMBRANE-BOUND
ORGANELLES ARE CALLED
EUKARYOTES.
2. ORGANISMS WHOSE CELLS
NEVER CONTAIN (OR LACK) A
NUCLEUS AND OTHER
MEMBRANE-BOUND
ORGANELLES ARE CALLED
PROKARYOTES.
Examples of Each???
Differences between



UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS such as
bacteria and their relatives are
Prokaryotes.
Prokaryotes are placed in Two
Kingdoms, Separate from Eukaryotes.
All other organisms are Eukaryotes;
plants, fish, mammals, insects and
humans.





MAKE OR STORE FOOD
CHLOROPLAST, (figure 4-17) an organelle that
converts SUNLIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE, AND WATER
INTO SUGARS. This process is called
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Each Chloroplast encloses a system of Flattened,
Membranous Sacs called THYLAKOIDS. It is in the
Thylakoids that Photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplasts are GREEN because they contain
CHLOROPHYLL, a PIGMENT that ABSORBS
ENERGY IN SUNLIGHT. THEY ARE FOUND ONLY IN
ALGAE, SUCH AS SEAWEED, AND IN GREEN PLANTS.
Other PLASTIDS store reddish-orange pigments that
color fruits, vegetables, flowers, and autumn leaves

3.5 The Cytoskeleton Supports
Eukaryotic Cells


In Animal Cells, an internal framework
called CYTOSKELETON maintains the
Shape of the Cell (Fig. 3.23)
TWO Types of structures:
MICROFILAMENTS
MICROTUBULES
MICROFILAMENTS



NOT HOLLOW and have a
structure that resembles ROPE
made of
TWO TWISTED CHAINS OF
PROTEIN called ACTIN.
CONTRACT, causing movement.
Muscle Cells
MICROTUBULES (Fig. 3.24)






HOLLOW TUBES like plumbing pipes. They are
the Largest Strands of the Cytoskeleton.
Made of a PROTEIN called TUBULIN.
THREE FUNCTIONS:
A. To maintain the shape of cell.
B. To serve as tracks for organelles to move
along within the cell.
C. When the Cell is about to divide, bundles
of Microtubules known as SPINDLE FIBERS
come together and extend across the cell to
assist in the movement of Chromosomes during
Cell Division
Microfilaments



Solid rods of
globular proteins.
Important
component of
cytoskeleton which
offers support to cell
structure.

How Do Cells Move?



Cilia and Flagella
External appendages
from the cell
membrane that aid
in locomotion of the
cell.
Cilia also help to
move substance
