Cell Parts 09 0

All cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, share common features including a cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, and organelles that help the cell live and function. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells which lack a nucleus and organelles, and eukaryotic cells which have a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Organelles in cells serve specific functions like the cell membrane regulates what enters and exits, the nucleus contains DNA, mitochondria produces energy, and chloroplasts perform photosynthesis in plant cells.

How big is a cell?

• http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm
1. All organisms are made of cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life in all
living things.
3. All cells come from existing cells.

THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT


ALL LIVING THINGS SHARE A SIMILAR
STRUCTURE
Two Types of Cells

Organelles are structures that enable
the cell to live, grow and reproduce.
• Have no membrane
covered nucleus
• Have no membrane
- covered organelles
• Have circular DNA
• Are bacteria
• Have a nucleus
• Have a membrane -
covered organelles
• Have linear DNA
• Are all other cells
Organelles are structures that enable
the cell to live, grow and reproduce.
• Outer layer of cell
• Allows nutrients
into the cell and
wastes outside of
the cell

“Gate into the


city” Cell Membrane
• Cytoplasm a
jelly-like fluid
contained in
the cell that
holds the
organelles.
DNA • The control
center of the
cell
• Contains the
Cell’s DNA
Nucleolus

Nuclear Membrane
“Mayor’s office”
Outer Membrane

• Power center of
cell
• Provides the
energy the cell
needs to move,
divide, etc.
Inner Membrane

“Electric company of
the cell”
• Site where
proteins are
made
• Cell parts are
made of
proteins “Factories of the
cell”
Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Transportation
system of cell
• Rough ER-
ribosome's
attached
• Smooth ER- no
Ribosomes ribosome's

“Roadways of the cell”


• Packaging house of
cell
• Packages,
processes, and
ships out the
stuff the cell
makes

“UPS of the cell”


• Digests food
particles and cell
parts
– “Garbage men”
• Protects cell by
digesting foreign
invaders
– “Police men
• Stores water,
Vacuole
food & wastes

Vacuole is largest
organelle in plant cell
• Found only in
plant cells

• Protects and
supports the cell
• Found only in plant
cells
• Contains
chlorophyll (makes
plants green)
• Where
photosynthesis
takes place
Found in Plant and Animal cells: Found only in Plant Cells:

• Nucleus • Chloroplasts
• Golgi Complex
• Mitochondrion • Cell Wall
• Lyosomes
• Endoplasmic
Reticulum
• Cell Membrane
• Ribosomes
• Vacuoles
