Cell BIOLOGY

The document discusses the structure and function of cells. It covers the following key points: 1. Cells contain DNA in chromosomes and are the basic unit of life. All living things are made up of cells. 2. Cells have three basic components - a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotes which lack organelles and eukaryotes which have membrane-bound organelles. 3. Important organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, chloroplasts, and vacuoles. These organelles allow cells to carry out specialized functions and processes like respiration, protein synthesis, and photos

Cell - contains DNA in chromosomes

-basic unit of life (46 human chromosomes)

Cytology NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

-study of cell - Cell at rest

Cell theory - if cell is active the chromosomes forming dna

1. Cells-cells (all cells come from existing cells -DNA- hereditary material of all

2.living things - cell ( all living things are made up of Nucleolus


cell)
- inside nucleus
3. The cell is wherw energy produced
- may have 1-3 nucleoli
4. The cell contains heredutary material
-disappears when cell divides
3 basic components of cell
- makes ribosomes that makes protein
1. Cell Membrabe
CYTOSKELETON
2. Cytoplasm
- help cell maintain cell shape
3. Nucleus ( nucleoloid)
- help more organelle around
2 typee of cell
- made of protein
1. Prokaryotes
- microfilament are threadlife and made of ACTIN
- lack a nucleus or membrane bound organelle
- microtubules are tubelike and makde of tubulin
- includes bacteria
CENTRIOLES
- simplest type of a cell
- only in animal cell
- single, circular chromosomes
- paired structures near nucleus
- bacteria and arhaea ( extremphiles)
-made of bundle of microtubules
2. Eukaryote
-appears during cell division forming mitotic spindle
- has a mekbrane bound nucleus
-help to pull chromosomes pairs apart to opposite
- has a membrane bound organelle ends

-more complex type of a cell MITOCHONDRION

- multiple chromosome -powerhouse of a cell

NUCLEUS - generate cellular energy (ATP)

-control organelle - more active cells like muscle

- controll the normal activities -both plant and animal have mitochondria
-site of cellular respiration (burning glucose) -includes nuclesr memvrane connected to ER
connected to cell membrane (transport)
- double membrane
Ribosomes
-DNA
- Protein factory
- Inner membrane called Cristae
-made of proteins and rRNA
-interior called matrix
-protein factories for cell
ATP ( adenosins trioposphate
-join amino acids to make proteins
-energy currency of the body
- process called protein synthesis
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Golgi Bodies
- network of hollow membrane tubules
- stack of flattened sacs
-connects to nuclear envelope and cell membrane
-have a shipping side (transface) and receiving side
- functions in synthesis of cell products and ( cis face)
transport
-receive proteins made by ER
2 kinds of Endoplasmic reticulum : rough and smooth
-Transport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off
Rough ER the ends
- has ribosomes on its surface - look like a stack pancakes
- makes membrane proteins and protein for export - modify, sort and package molecules from ER for
our of cell storage or transport out of cell
- proteins are made by riboosmes on ER surface Golgi Animation
- they are even threaded into the interior of the - materials are transported from rough ER to golgi to
rough ER to be modified and transported the cell membrane by vesicles
Smooth ER Lysosomes
-where lipids are manufactured - contain digestive enzymes
- lacks ribosomes on its surface - break down food, bacteria, and worn out cell parts
- is attached to the end of rough er for cell

- makes cell products that are use inside the cell -programmed for CELL DEATH (AUTOLYSIS)

Functions : makes membrane lipids (steroids) - lyse (breaks open) and release enzymes to break
down and recycle parts
: regulates calcium ( muscle cells)
Lysosome Digestion
: destroys toxic substances ( liver)
-cell take in food by phagocytosis
Endomembrane system
-lysosomes digest the food and get rid of wastes
- site of ribosome
Cilia and Flagella -inner membrane modified into sacs called
thylakoids
-made of protein tubes called Microtubules
-thylakoids in stacks called GRANA and
-microtubules arranged (a+2) interconnected
-functions in moving cells in moving fluids or in small -Stroma-gel like material surrounding thylakoids
particles across the cell surface
-Contain its own DNA
Cilia
-contains enzymes and pigments for photosynthesis
-shorter and more numerous on cells
-never in animal or bacterial cells
Flagella
Photosynthesis - food making process
-longer and fewer on cells
Cell Modifications
Vacuoles
-adapting changes occurred to cell led to specialized
-fluids filled sacks for storage functions
-small or absent in animal cells 1. Apical Modification
-plant cells have a large central vacuole -modification on TOP of a cell
-no vacuoles in bacterial cells 2. Basal Modification
-in plant, they store cell soap - modification on BOTTOM of a cell
-includes storage of sugar, proteins, minerals, lipids, 3. Lateral Modification
wastes, salts, water, enzymes
- modification on SIDE of a cell
Contractile Vacuole
1. Apical Modification
-found in unicellular protist like paramecia
A. Microvilli
-regulates water intake by bumping out excess
(homeostasis) -fingerlike projections

- Keeps the cell from lying (bursting) -folded in surface area for better
absorption
Chloroplast
B. Cilia
-found only in producers (organisms containing
chlorophyll ) -composed of micro filaments

-use energy from sunlight to make own food - motile (move in rythmical wave like
(glucose)
C. Stereocilia
-energy from sun stored in the chemical bond of
sugars - non motile

-surrounded by a double membrane - sensory cells

-outer membrane smooth - help in absorption


D. Flagella C. Red Blood Cells

- has microtubules - anucleated (absence of nucleus)

-for movement D. Sperm Cells

2. Basal Modification - Has flagella

A. Basal infolding E. Plant Cells

- maintain integrity of a cell, absorption - Chloroplast where photosynthesis occurs

B. Hemidesmosome

- found beneath the adhering junctions

3. Lateral Modification

A. Tight junction

- Zonula occludens

- prevent leakage of fluid from the cell

B. Adhering Junction

- found on top of hemidesmosome

- maintain all integrity

C. GAP Junction

-space found in cell

- cell to cell communication

-allow movement of molecules in and out


of a cell

D. Desmosome

-anchoring junction

-prevents too much stress from shearing

-Commonly found in skin

Special Modifications

A. Nerve Cells

- Axon - dendrites - nucleus
