Biology 250
Chapter 4
Robert Hooke
Microscopes opened a whole new world
• Looked at cork under a microscope
• Gave cells their name
These remind me of the rooms monks sleep in which are
called cells…. I shall call these little boxes
cells!
And this guy….
• 1st to look at living cells
• Took scrapings of tartar from his teeth Anton van
LeeuwenhoekI saw “many small animalcules, the
movement of which was
pleasing to see!”
The Cell Theory
• All living things are composed of one or more cells.
• The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
• All cells come from the reproduction of existing cells.
Proposed by Schleiden, Schwann
and Virchow
So… why are cells so small?
Surface Area to Volume Ratio: As a cell increases in size, the surface area increases with the square of the diameter but the
volume increases with the cube.
Everything a cell needs to live has to comein through its surface.
All wastes must leave through its surface.
Eventually, the volume of the cell gets so largeThe cell cannot get nutrients to the center
Or wastes to the surface fast enough.The cell dies.
Two Main Types of Cells
Prokaryotic – Do NOT have a nucleus or organelles surrounded by membranes.
These are BACTERIA.
Eukaryotic – DO have a nucleus and organelles surrounded by membranes.
Everything BUT bacteria!
Animal Cell Plant Cell
Organelle – A cell part which performs
a function for the cell.
There are two main types of eukaryotic cells:Animal Cells and Plant Cells.
Both contain many of the same organelles.
Aaaaaaand yes, you have to be able to name and
describe all of them.
Organelles of the animal cell
Cell Membrane:• Surrounds all cells.• Controls what enters and
leaves the cell• Selectively Permeable –
Only allows certain substances to enter/exit the cell.
• Composed of a lipid (fat) bilayer (2 layers of a special kind of fat called a phospholipid)
This is a model of the cell membrane.
Contains 2 layers of phospholipids. The type of fat that makes up the
membrane.Also contains 2 types of proteins:1. Peripheral Proteins – Located on the inner surface or
outer surface of the membrane.2. Integral Proteins: Located inside of the membrane.
Fluid Mosaic Model:The cell membrane behaves as a fluid. Phosolipids and both types of proteins can move around freely.
Organelles of the animal cell
Cytoplasm:The clear, jelly-like substance
which makes up the bulk of the cell.
Mitochondrion• Makes ATP (energy) for the
cell.• Nicknamed: The Powerhouse
of the cell.• Has two membranes, an inner membrane and an outer membrane.
Organelles of the animal cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum• Acts as an intracellular
highway.• Two Types
• Rough ER – Studded with ribosomes. Makes proteins for export.
• Smooth ER – Breaks down toxic substances.
Ribosomes – Located free floating in the cytoplasm OR embedded in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. FUNCTION: make proteins
Organelles of the animal cell
Golgi Apparatus:Processes and
packages proteins for export.
They say it looks like a stack of flattened pancakes!
Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes. Break down old & worn out organelles, cellular debris and wastes.
Organelles of the animal cell
CytoskeletonThe cytoskeleton is a network of fibers called microtubules and
microfilaments. It provides structure and support to the cell.
Some cells also have the ability to move. Those cells have one of the following:
Flagellum: Long, and whiplike. Enables movement.
Cilia: Short, hairlike, very numerous. Enable movement.
Organelles of the animal cell
Let’s look at the nucleus: The nucleus controls the activities
of the cell.
Nuclear Envelope: The double membrane that surrounds the nucleus. Contains pores to allow material to enter/exit.
Nucleolus: Round ball inside the nucleus which makes ribosomes.
Chromatin: The DNA of the cell in it’s unwound form.. When it’s wound up, it becomes chromosomes.

Plants have most of the organelles that animals do (except
the ones for movement) plus 3
more!
Vacuole: Takes up a lot of space! Filled with fluids and wastes.
Cell Wall: Rigid structure made of cellulose. Supports plant. Enables plants to stand upright.
Chloroplasts: Contain the green pigment chlorophyll and make food for the plant through photosynthesis.
Levels of Multicellular Organization
• Some organisms are made from more than one cell and their cells are organized.
• Tissue – A group of similar cells working together to perform a common task.
• Organ – A group of tissues working together to perform a common task.
• Organ System – A group of organs working together to perform a common task.
• Organism – All the organ systems working together
