There are 2 Different Types of
Cells!

Eukaryotic cells…


Contain a proper nucleii
with chromosomes
(strands of DNA)
Ex: Animal and plant
cells.

Prokaryotic cells…


no
Have
chromosomes. Instead,
they have a circle
molecule of DNA.
Ex: Bacteria cells.
Eukaryotic Cells…
*Have a nucleolus
*Their nuclear body is called a nucleus. (an organelle that holds the cell’s
DNA). They also have a nuclear membrane.
*Have 1+ linear chromosomes made of DNA
Prokaryotic Cells…
*Have no nucleolus
*Their nuclear body is called a nucleoid. (Prokaryotic Cells don’t have a
nucleus, and, because there’s no nucleus, there’s no nuclear
membrane. The DNA floats around in a region of the cell called the
nucleoid)
*Have (most of the time) one circular chromosome made of DNA
Animal and Plant Cells.
Both of the two types are cells are EUKARYOTIC, so, overall, they are mostly similar.
-Both have a nucleus, which contains their DNA (gentic material), and a cell membrane.
-Both have most of the same organelles - (like Mitochondira, Golgi bodies, Lysosomes)
*They do however have differences…*
Both are eukaryotes>
Plant Cells

Plant Cells…

Have a cell wall on the outside of the cell.

Have chlorplast, which takes sunlight energy to make food.

Have one or more large vacuoles.

Have a more rectangular shape because of the hard cell wall.
Animal Cells

While Animal Cells…




Do not have a cell wall.
Have no chlorplast.
Have multiple small vacuoles.
Have a more irregular shape because they have no
cell wall as the outer shell.
Did you know???


That cells have all sorts of different shapes! Their shapes are
extremely important because it determines their function.
Cell shape is very important so the cell can do its job. If cells change
shape, it can cause diseases. For example: Sickle Cell Anemia is
caused when the red blood cells (round and flat) change shape and
look like crescent moons/sickles. If the red blood cells are not the
proper shape, they can get stuck and die in blood vessels that they
can’t fit through.

Insane in the Cell Membrane
-The cell membrane holds in all of the cell’s parts. It’s like a
together.
It also keeps other things out.
container keeping the cell
-It is NOT solid - it is made of pieces! There are holes in the membrane that let certain
materials in and out of the cell.
Phospholipids & Proteins
-The cell membrane is made of proteins and phospholipids~
*Phospholipids make up the “container” that holds the cell together. They have a
shape like a head and a tail. Since the tails do not like the water and the heads
do, the tails come together while the heads face the watery part surrounding
the cell. This structure - the two layers of phospholipids - is called the bilayer.
Confused??? Click here
*Proteins are around the holes of the phospholipid bilayer and they help direct
movement of the materials passing in and out.

<-- tails

The Cell Membrane

The Cell Membrane is like our body’s skin in
the Integumentary System. The cell
membrane and skin are both barriers
between the external and internal
environments. It blocks unwanted substances
from getting in or out of the human body and
the cell.
The Nucleus





There is only ONE NUCLEUS in a cell. (only Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus).
It is very important because it contains the cell’s information – DNA.
Usually, the nucleus is the largest organelle in the cell.
It is surrounded by a double membrane – the nuclear envelope.
Nuclear pores on the nuclear envelope are there to regulate the passing of
materials from the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
What’s so important about a Nucleus?

The nucleus controls the cell.

It contains most of the cell’s genetic information.

It controls chemical reactions in the cell’s cytoplasm.

It has the information needed when the cell reproduces (divides into two daughter cells by a process
called mitosis.)
The Nucleus!




Compared to our body, the nucleus is like the brain.
Both control the cell/body and contains information that the cell/body needs.
The nervous system senses changes in the environment and fixes whatever
is needed to make sure the body is healthy.
Like the nervous system, the nucleus controls reactions and senses
changes in the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum




There are two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli – smooth and rough.
The Rough ER has ribosomes on their surfaces and is organized in a network of
structures that look like flattened sacs (called cisternae).
The Smooth ER is organized as a network made of tubes and vesicles.
ER are actually extensions from the nuclear membrane (AKA the nuclear envelope)
rER

The Rough ER:
 *Contains Ribosomes!!!*
 Transports proteins needed in membranes or proteins that will be
released from the cell.
 Connected to the nuclear envelope
 Connected to the Golgi complex by vesicles. Both organelles
work to transport proteins to where they belong.
sER

The Smooth ER:




*Has No Ribosomes!!!*
Stores enzymes and calciums.
Produces lipids (fats)
Makes poisons and harmful materials harmless
(detoxifies them)
The ER

The ER system and the human body’s
Circulatory System are the same in the fact
that both transport materials and both secrete
wastes that are not needed in the body or the
cell.
Ribosomes



In Eukaryotic cells, Ribosomes are found on Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum or floating around in cytoplasm.
There are also ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
There are a lot of ribosomes in cells because they are important and
needed.
Protein Synthesis


Protein synthesis is very important to cells.
Ribosomes cause protein synthesis – that is when proteins are made from
amino acids. RNA gives out genetic information that tells the Ribosomes
how to create a specific protein by linking together certain amino acids into
a chain.
<--picture of protein
synthesis in action! Here the
amino acids are being linked
together by the ribosomes
by following the specific
genetic code.
The Golgi Complex



The Golgi complex / Golgi apparatus is made of a pile of flat sacs that are
stacked. Eached stacked group has a membrane that keeps the cytoplasm
and the internal environment separated.
The Golgi complex stores, manufactures, and ships cell materials.
It works with the Rough ER.
The Golgi Apparatus



One side of the Golgi complex recieves while the other sends
materials. Membranes at one side are different with the other.
The side that recieves products works closely with the Endoplasmic
reticulum.
The side that released products has vesicles that send the materials
to other places in the cell.
The Golgi Apparatus…

The Golgi complex and the Circulatory
System are both similar. They both transport
materials throughout the structure.

Mitochondria…




Contain two membranes. The outer part contains and protects the
mitochondria, and the inner one folds over many times to increase the
surface area of the organelle. Because of the increased surface area,
more work can be done.
Have fluid inside of them called the matrix.
Provide the cell it’s energy (creating the energy is called cellular
respiration). They are known as the cell’s POWERHOUSE.
Can be created if MORE is needed.
Mitochondria.


These small organelles take in and break down nutrients
and materials. The mitochondria can then produce
energy for the cell to function.
The matrix of the mitochondria is filled with water and
proteins. Food can be digested when proteins take food
molecules and combine them with oxygen.
Mitochondria

The mitochondria function very similarly with
the digestive system. Both break down foods
and take in the essential nutrients. Both
provide energy for the body and cell.
Lysosomes

Lysosomes are made by the Golgi Apparatus and have very powerful enzymes that
digest protein.

Lysosomes are responsible for cleaning up the cell. They break down and absorb
materials that are taken in by the cell. Lysosomes can digest bacteria or combine with
unwanted materials and release their enzymes.
“Suicide Sacks”


They can also perform Autolysis, which is like
a cell’s suicide. If a lysosome in a cell breaks
open, the cell’s proteins will be digested. This
causes the cell to die.
Lysosomes help clean out old cells.
Lysosomes

<--if a lysosome were to be
cut…the insides would look
somewhat like this!!
Lysosomes act like the Excretory System in a
way that both remove wastes that are
unneeded.
Vacuoles





Vacuoles are a space in a cell surrounded by a membrane. It has
NO cytoplasm. Both plant and animal cell have one, but ones in a
plant are larger.
Store excess water, ions, and soluble compounds in the cell.
Help with the water balance of the cell.
Provide the cell support and shape.
(In animal cells): Vacuoles excrete water and salts
Vacuoles


Although it may not seem like the Vacuole
and the human body’s skeletal system are
alike, in some ways, they are.
For example, the two share the trait that they
provide shape and support. Furthermore,
both can act as a storage for nutrients.
Cytoskeleton






The cytoskeleton is made of protein fibers.
It helps maintain the cell’s shape.
It helps support the cell and keep it strong.
It can help chromosomes separate when the cells reproduce.
It can help move organelles within the cell.
It can help organelles stay in one place.
Skeletons


The cytoskeleton and skeletal system of the
human body are very much alike (can you
tell? They both have “skele-” in their names!)
Both provide shape and support for the cell
and body.
Centrioles



Made up of nine triplets of microtubules
(nine groups of three).
Not usually found in plants.

Main function is to separate
chromosomes during cell division
(meiosis and meitosis)

Centrioles are most similar to the body’s
reproductive system than the other systems. Both
systems play a big part in reproduction.
Plastids
Chromoplast



Found in most plant cells
Usually have a shape like a sphere
Types:
 Chromoplasts: found in cells of flower petals and fruit. In flowers,
their main purpose is to attract organisms for pollination; in fruit,
their main purpose is to attract organisms for distribution.
Leaucoplast-->

Leucoplasts: found in plant cells that don’t have access to light.
Form starch grain. Help with the creation of proteins.
Plastids…

Chloroplasts: found usually in leaves (where there is most
sunlight). They have enzymes that are necessary for
photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts are used in photosynthesis to create
oxygen for the air and food for the plant.

Chloroplasts are the most important plastids. They
help create oxygen that we breathe!
The Cell Wall

Only found in plant cells!


Because of the discovery of the cell wall, we can now tell the
difference between plant and animal cells.
The cell wall is usually made of cellulose, which is stiff and not very flexible.

The cell wall prevents the cell from changing shape.

It protects the cell from bacteria and viruses.

It provides steady building blocks so stems and leaves of plants can be created.

It protects the internal environment of the cell.
The Cell Wall…

The cell wall is also similar to the skeletal
system. Both give support and protection to
the body and cell. And both are not too
flexible!
**QUIZ!!*
