Cells
The smallest unit of life
Discovering the Cell
1665 - Robert Hooke
Anton van Leeuwenhoek late 17th, early 18th
centuries
• 1839 – Cell Theory is proposed
independently by Theodore Schwann
and Matthias Jakob Schleiden.
• Cell Theory:
• The cell is the fundamental structure of all living
things.
• All living things are made of cells.
• Cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell
division.

chromosome
• An enormous variety of metabolic
pathways.
• Highly successful and adaptable.

Viruses
• A virus is usually
not considered
living.
• A virus consists
only of a protein
coat (sometimes
with a lipid outer
layer) and a piece
of genetic material
(DNA or RNA).
Bacteria vs. Virus
Features
Reproduces independently?
Has genetic material?
Has cell membrane?
Has metabolism?

Things we will see in cells
• First let’s focus on things we can see
using a light microscope and ordinary
stains:
• Cell nucleus
• Cell membrane
• Cell wall
• Plastids (Chloroplast, amyloplast,
chromoplast)
• Plant cell vacuole

Protein-making Machinery
• Information for making proteins is in
_____, stored in the ___________.
• An ______ copy is made in the nucleus
and sent out to the rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum (ER).
• Proteins leave the ER and are finished
and packaged in the _____
___________.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
____________
____________ER
___________
____________ER
Golgi Apparatus
Protein-carrying
vesicles from ER

Vesicles carrying
modified protein
leave Golgi apparatus
ER and Golgi function
5 Vesicles merge with the
plasma membrane and
release protein by
exocytosis.
4 Completed protein
is packaged into
vesicles.
3 Vesicles fuse with Golgi. The
protein may be altered and finished.
2 Protein is packaged
into vesicles and travels
to Golgi apparatus.
1 A protein is
synthesized in the rough ER.
Organelles in Cell Energy
• Chloroplasts capture energy from the
sun and use that energy to manufacture
sugars (chemical energy storage).
• Mitochondria break the bonds in sugars
and release the energy that was stored
there.

Single-Celled Organisms
• Single-celled organisms carry out the
same functions that our multicellular
bodies do, but all within a single cell.
How do they do it?
One-celled Eukaryotic organisms have unique challenges.
A Paramecium must:
ingest food
excrete waste
sense and respond
to the environment
(a) Cilium
propulsion of fluid
power stroke
plasma membrane
return stroke
(b) Flagellum
direction of locomotion
propulsion of fluid
continuous propulsion
protein

microtubules

Recap
• Prokaryotic cells have no membranebound organelles.
• Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound
organelles, which compartmentalize
processes for better efficiency.
• ALL cells have a cell membrane and
DNA.
