Basic Structure of a Cell
1
Introduction to Cells
Cells are the basic units of organisms
Cells can only be observed under
microscope
Basic types of cells:
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Bacterial Cell
2
Number of Cells
Organisms may be:
• Unicellular –
composed of one cell
• Multicellularcomposed of many
cells that may
organize
3
Cells May be Prokaryotic or
Eukaryotic
 Prokaryotes include bacteria &
lack a nucleus or membrane-bound
structures called organelles
Eukaryotes include most other cells
& have a nucleus and membranebound organelles (plants, fungi, &
animals)
4
Prokaryotes
Nucleoid region
contains the DNA
•Cell membrane &
cell wall
• Contain ribosomes
(no membrane) to
make proteins in
their cytoplasm
5
Eukaryotic Cell
Contain 3 basic cell
structures:
• Nucleus
• Cell Membrane
• Cytoplasm with
organelles
6
Two Main Types of
Eukaryotic Cells
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
7
Organelles
Very small size
Can only be observed under a
microscope
Have specific functions
Found throughout cytoplasm
8
Organelles Found in Cells
Examples of Organelles include:
Endoplasmic reticulum (rough & smooth) –
canals for movement
Golgi Bodies – wrap & export proteins
Nucleolus – makes ribosomes
Lysosomes – digests & gets rid of wastes
Ribosomes – makes proteins
9
Golgi Bodies
• Stacks of flattened
sacs—cisternae
• A cell may have many,
even hundreds
• Have a shipping side &
a receiving side
• Receive & modify
proteins made by ER
• Transport vesicles
with modified proteins
pinch off the ends
Transport
vesicle
10
Golgi bodies
• Vesicles concentrated in the vicinity of the
golgi apparatus are engaged in the transfer of
material between parts of the golgi and other
structures
• A golgi stack has a distinct structural polarity,
with the membranes of cisternae on opposite
sides of the stack differing in thickness and
molecular composition. The two poles of a
golgi stack are referred to as the cis face and
the trans face; these act as the receiving and
shipping department of the golgi apparatus
11
Lysosome
• Contain digestive enzymes
called hydrolytic enzymes
that an animal cell uses to
digest macromolecules.
They work best in an
acidic environment
• Break down food and worn
out cell parts for cells
• Programmed for cell death
(lyse & release enzymes to
break down & recycle cell
parts)
12
lysosomes
• Lysosomes carry out intracellular digestion in
a variety of circumstances. Amoebas and
many other protists eat by engulfing smaller
organisms or other food particles, a process
called phagocytosis.
• The food vacuole formed in this way then fuses
with a lysosome, whose enzymes digest the
food.
• Some human cells also carry out phagocytosis.
Among them are macrophages, a type of white
blood cell that helps defend the body by
engulfing and destroying bacteria and other
invaders
13
lysosomes
• We just mentioned that they use hydrolytic
enzymes to recycle the cell’s own organic
material, a process called autophagy.
• A human liver cell, for example, recycles half of
its macromolecules each weak.
• The cells of people with inherited lysosomal
storage diseases lack a functioning hydrolytic
enzyme.
• Tay-Sachs disease, for example, a lipiddigesting enzyme is missing or inactive, and
the brain becomes impaired by an
accumulation of lipids in the cells.
14
Nucleolus
•
Cell may have 1 to 3
nucleoli
• Inside nucleus
• Disappears when cell
divides
• Makes ribosomes that
make proteins
15
Smooth & Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Smooth ER lacks
ribosomes &
makes proteins
USED In the cell
Rough ER has
ribosomes on its
surface & makes
proteins to
EXPORT
16
Cell Powerhouse
Mitochondrion
( mitochondria )
Rod shape
Site of Cellular
respiration
17
In Animal Cells:
Mitochondria
Active cells like
muscles have more
mitochondria
Burn sugars to
produce energy ATP
18
Surrounding the Cell
Cell membrane
Lies immediately
against the cell wall
in plant cells
Made of protein and
phospholipids
Selectively permeable
19
Cell or Plasma Membrane
Cell membrane
Living layer
Controls the
movement of
materials into and
out of the cell
Selectively
permeable
20
Cytoplasm of a Cell
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance
enclosed by cell
membrane
Provides a medium
for chemical
reactions to take
place
21
More on Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
Contains organelles
to carry out
specific jobs
Examples:
chloroplast &
mitochondrion
22
Control Organelle
Nucleus
Controls the normal
activities of the cell
Bounded by a
nuclear membrane
Contains chromosomes
23
More on the Nucleus
Nucleus
Each cell has fixed
number of
chromosomes that
carry genes
Genes control cell
characteristics
24
Plant Cell Organelles
Chloroplast
Contain the green
pigment chlorophyll
Traps sunlight to
make to make
sugars (food)
Process called
photosynthesis
25
Plant Cell
Cell wall
Dead layer
Large empty spaces
present between
cellulose fibers
Freely permeable
26
Plant Cell
Cell wall
Made of cellulose
which forms very
thin fibers
Strong and rigid
Found in plant cells
27
Plant Cell
Cell wall
Protect and support
the enclosed
substances
(protoplasm)
Resist entry of
excess water into
the cell
Give shape to the cell
28

The cell is the Basic Unit
of Life
• Cell is the smallest unit of living organisms
• Unicellular organisms are made of one cell
only
• The cells of multicellular organisms are
specialized to perform different functions
– e.g. mesophyll cells for photosynthesis
and root hair cells for water absorption
40
Levels of organization
• Cells are
grouped
together and
work as a
whole to
perform special
functions
41
Tissue
• A group of similar cells to
perform a particular function
– Animals : epithelial tissue,
muscular tissue
– Plants : vascular tissue,
mesophyll
42
Organ
• Different tissues group together
to carry out specialized functions
– Heart : consists of muscles,
nervous tissue and blood
vessels
– Leaf : consists of epidermis,
mesophyll and vascular tissue
