LECTURE 3
CELL STRUCTURE
HISTORY• The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665
examining very thin slices of cork and saw a multitude of
tiny pores that remarked looked like the walled
compartments of a honeycomb which was then called
cells
• The description of these cells (which • The description of these cells (which
were actually non-living cell walls),
without structure or function
understanding, was published in
Micrographia. His cell observations
gave no indication of the nucleus and
other organelles found in most living
cells.
CELL THEORY• Cell theoryCell theoryCell theoryCell theory refers to the idea that cells are the basic
unit of structure in every living thing. • Cell Theory (the study of cells is cytology)Cell Theory (the study of cells is cytology)Cell Theory (the study of cells is cytology)Cell Theory (the study of cells is cytology)
– All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
– The cell is the basic living unit of organization for all living
things
–– All cells arise from preexisting cells
– Cells contain all of the hereditary information

• Cells can be subdivided into the following
subcategories:
– Prokaryotes: Prokaryotes lack a nucleus (though they do
have circular DNA) and other membrane-bound organelles
(though they do contain ribosomes). Bacteria and Archaea
are two divisions of prokaryotes.are two divisions of prokaryotes.
– Eukaryotes: Eukaryotes, on the other hand, have distinct
nuclei and membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria,
chloroplasts, lysosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic
reticulum, vacuoles). In addition, they possess organized
chromosomes which store genetic material.
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
– Includes cyanobacteria and
bacteria
– lack most of the membrane
bound organelles,
Eukaryotes
– Protists, fungi, plants
and animals…
– specialized membrane
bound organelles
(nucleus), nuclear – have DNA in a concentrated
region,
– tend to grow rapidly and
divide often.
– prokaryotes (0.2 – 5 µm)
smaller than eukaryotes…
(nucleus), nuclear
membrane
– eukaryotes (10 – 100
µm)
Prokaryotic Cell
• Nucleoid: DNA concentration
• No organelles with membranes
• Ribosomes: protein synthesis
• Plasma membrane (all • Plasma membrane (all cells); semi-permeable
• Cytoplasm/cytosol (all cells)
In a prokaryotic cell, most of the functions of organelles, such as
mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the Golgi apparatus, are taken
over by the prokaryotic cell membrane.
Structure of Eukaryotic Cell
• nucleus
• cytoplasm
• cell (plasma) membrane
• mitochondria
• endoplasmic reticulum
All eukaryotic cells have a number of features in common.
• endoplasmic reticulum
• Golgi apparatus ribosomes
• Cytoskeleton
• cenriole
• However, there are also some important differences between
animal cells and plant cells.
Plant Cell
Comparison of animal and plant cellsComparison of animal and plant cellsComparison of animal and plant cellsComparison of animal and plant cells
• Both animal (A) and plant (B) cells have – a cell membrane (1),
– nucleus (2), and
– cytoplasm (3).
• Plant cells have also –– a cell wall (4) and
– certain organelles, notably chloroplasts,
which are unique to plant cells
Cell Size and ShapeCell Size• Surface to volume ratio limits size of cell.
– Volume increases at the cube of the diameter (V=d3)– Surface area increases at the square of the diameter
(A=d2)– As a cell grows its volume increases at a rate faster than its
surface areasurface area– Rates of chemical exchange may then be inadequate for cell
size– Cell size, therefore, remains small
Cell Shape• Form follows function
– similar functions in different organisms have similar shapes

consists of fluid and particles and membranes
2.2.2.2. NucleoplasmNucleoplasmNucleoplasmNucleoplasm– material inside nucleus
3.3.3.3. Nucleus Nucleus Nucleus Nucleus –––– largest largest largest largest organelleorganelleorganelleorganelle– Nuclear envelope– Nuclear envelope
– Double Membrane envelope with many nuclear pores
4.4.4.4. NucleolusNucleolusNucleolusNucleolus (nuceioli plural)– Site of ribosome assembly
– Ribosomes leave through pores and are found free in the cytoplasm or associated with Endoplasmic reticulum
Genetic material in the Nucleus
• Chromatin– Seen in cells that
are not dividing
– Decondensed DNA associated with RNA and proteins
• Chromosomes• Chromosomes– Seen in cells that
are dividing
– Condensed DNA in a highly organized and compact form
– nucleolus: rRNA; ribosome synthesis

– Protein manufacture, organelles that are part of the protien synthesis
machinery
– Free : cytosol; protein function in cell
– Bound : endoplasmic reticulum; membranes, organelles, and
export
– sets of membranes continuous with the nuclear and plasma membranes
– Membranes act to divide up the cytoplasm into compartments and channels

15.Cell Wall
15. Membrane
• The membrane that surrounds a cell is made up of proteins and lipids.
• Depending on the membrane’s location and role in the body, lipids can make up anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of the to 80 percent of the membrane, with the remainder being proteins.
• Cholesterol, which is not found in plant cells, is a type of lipid that helps stiffen the membrane.
