1. Four principles of the cell theory a. Every living organism consists of one or more cells b. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life, individually alive even as part of a multicelled organism. c. All living cells come from division of other, pre-existing cells. d. Cells contain hereditary material, which they pass to their offspring during division. 2. General Organization of a Cell: A. Most cells in the human body have the following three features: 1 .plasma __Membrane( Cell Membrane): What is the function of this membrane?__ seperates metabolic activities from events outside the cell,but doesn't isolate the cells interior __ It has a phospholipid bilayer __ arrangement (like an Oreo cookie).

__3.__ cytoplasma : the space inside the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The space is filled with a semi-fluid liquid called the cytosol and numerous organelles that carry out specific functions. B. There are two types of cells that will be covered in this class: 1. eukaryotic __Cells: are those that have a clearly defined nucleus and numerous organelles. Animals and plants that are multicellular organisms have this type of cells.__ __2.__ prokaryotic _ Cells: are those that do NOT have a nucleus (although they do have DNA) and NO organelles. An example would be Bacteria, that are unicellular (1 cell) organisms. C. Surface-to-volume ratio 1. If a cell is too small __, there may not be enough space to hold all the organelles needed by the cell to survive.__ __2. If a cell is too__ **big** __ _, the surface area may not be large enough to keep up with the increased volume, so parts of the cell may not get enough of the needed nutrients from the surrounding environment and will die. Also the cell may not be able to excrete (get rid of) waste products fast enough and the cell will die.__ __3. As a cell grows, the volume increases faster than the surface area.__ __a. The formula for Volume of a cell = length x width x height__ __b. The formula for Surface area of a cell = length x width__ **__C. The volume (cm3) of a cell increases by a power of 3 (cubed) whereas the surface area (cm2) increases by a power of 2 (squared) so the volume increases faster than the surface area as a cell grows in size.__**

2. Introduction to Microscopes: A. ** Light Microscope:  ** 1. These were first used around the mid-1600’s 2. This type of microscope uses light to see the sample and lenses to magnify the image seen. 3. These have a maximum magnification of about times; beyond that level of magnification the image gets fuzzy or blurry. 4. These microscopes make it is possible to see plant and animal cells, the nucleus, and the largest of the organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) as well as most bacteria, but NOT viruses. 5. This type of microscope is the best choice for studying __living__ cells. B. ** Electron Microscope: ** 1. These were first used around the mid-1950’s 2. This type of microscope uses a beam of electrons to create an image that is captured by receptors and stored on a monitor or computer screen. 3. These have a maximum magnification of about 10_ __times.__ __4. These microscopes make it possible to see even the smallest organelles, viruses and macromolecules like DNA and proteins.__ __5.

There are two types of electron microscopes:__ __a.__ Electron Microscope: **Transmission** This microscope works by passing a stream of electrons through the slide and specimen to show ** internal ** __details of cell structure.__ __b.__ Electron Microscope:** Scanning ** This microscope works by passing a beam of electrons back and forth across the surface of a specimen coated with a very thin layer of metal. This microscope shows the ** surface ** details of cells, organisms and molecules, providing a three dimensional (3-D) image.

3. Introduction to PROKARYOTIC Cells: (Bacteria) A. These cells are structurally the simplest cells known to exist. B. These cells lack a clearly defined, membrane bound nucleus; the DNA is simply found in an area called the** Nucleoid ** __region.__ __C. The **CELL** __ **membrane** _ __(plasma membrane) is selectively permeable and regulates or monitors what gets into and out of the cell.__ __D. The ** CELL **__** Filaments ** __(seen in some of these cells) helps to maintain the shape of the cell and provides added protection.__ E. Many of these cells have a sticky, jellylike coating made of polysaccharides called a ** capsule ** __that helps them attach and stick to surfaces.__ __F.__ ** Pili ** __(singular: //pilus//) are short, hair-like extensions that help these cells cling to surfaces or in other words anchor bacteria to surfaces.__ __G.__ ** Flagella ** are longer hair-like extensions used for movement.

4. Introduction to EUKARYOTIC Cells: A. These cells are structurally much more complex than prokaryotic cells. B. These cells have a clearly defined, membrane bound ** nucleus ** that stores and protects the DNA. C. The CELL ** membrane ** (plasma membrane) is selectively permeable and regulates or monitors what gets into and out of the cell. D. These cells contain other membrane bound sacs called ** organelles **, each with a specific structure and function. There are numerous benefits or advantages to having these structures in the cell. 1. Having separate organelles surrounded by their own membranes allows a cell to carry out very different activities at the same time. One organelle may be synthesizing (making) a protein while another organelle may be breaking down proteins. 2. Having organelles also greatly increases the membrane surface area, where chemical reactions frequently occur and allow the cell to maintain the needs of the cell while staying relatively small in size.

5. Please label the following on the picture of the eukaryotic cell: Nucleus, ribosome, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, golgi body, microtubules, mitochondrion, centrioles, lysosomes, cytoskeleton

commonnly found in Eukaryotic cells and a description of their primary functions: 1. Is called a plasma membrane because it is rather “fluid-like”, NOT rigid. 2. The membrane is described as being selectively permeable, which means it acts like a gatekeeper, controlling what enters and what exits the cell. B. ___: generally found near center of the cell__ __1. Stores DNA (genetic information).__ __2. Is surrounded by a membrane similar to the cell membrane but it is a double__ __membrane, also known as the nuclear__ _, with small openings (nuclear pores) to allow small molecules to enter and leave easily. 3. It contains ___, which is a total collection of all the DNA molecules, unraveled into long strands and scattered throughout the nucleus with their associated proteins. Each individual strand of DNA is known as a__ _ __(humans have 46, 23 from each parent) and it is normally not visible under a microscope unless the cell is preparing to undergo division.__ __4. It contains one or several darkened areas called a__ _ (plural = //nucleoli// ) which is the location where RIBOSOMES are made. __1. What is the main function of the ribosome?__
 * 1) CELL MEMBRANE (plasma Membrane): outer surface of the cell
 * __: seen as little dots throughout the cell__

__2. Where are free ribosomes located? What do they produce?__

__3. Where are “fixed” ribosomes located, and what do they produce?__

1. ER: a. is generally found near the nucleus (or continuous with it) and has what  appears to be many tiny dots (ribosomes) on the surface when viewed under a transmission electron microscope. b. the primary function is to begin to modify the protein structure (forming the 2o and 3o structures) and storing the protein made by the ribosomes c. this organelle begins the process of forming the proteins that will become part of the cell (plasma) membrane
 * 1) _ RETICULUM (ER): network of interconnected sacs (like a maze) that primarily function as “storage sheds”. There are two types:

2. _ER:  a. found anywhere in the cell, but does NOT have the dots (ribosomes) on the surface. b. synthesizes and stores lipids (fats) and then modifies them into fatty acids, phospholipids and steroids c. it makes the lipid molecules that become part of the cell membrane. d. in some cells, the smooth ER stores other substances: - calcium in muscle cells (for help in muscle contractions) - enzymes in liver cells (for detoxifying blood) E. TRANSPORT VESICLES: small round “sacs” scattered throughout the cell that are designed to move substances from one organelle to another (especially from the rER and sER to the Golgi Complex). F. BODY (or COMPLEX or APPARATUS): a stack of flattened sacs (like plates) that are NOT connected to each other.  1. This organelle further modifies molecules produced in the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. For example a protein or carbohydrate coat may be added to a lipid molecule, forming a lipoprotein or a glycolipid. 2. As the molecule is “improved”, it moves from one chamber to the next until it is finally released from the complex. G. SECRETORY VESICLES: these are similar to transport vesicles except the final destination is the cell membrane, so the contents can be released (secreted) from the cell, or the membrane of the vesicle can become part of the cell membrane. H. : these are similar to transport vesicles, but are generally larger in size and they stay inside the cell. These organelles contain enzymes for digesting macromolecules or destroying bacteria that enter the cell, or cell parts (damaged organelles) found within the cell. In a sense, they are like the cells “garbage disposal”. stay within the cell. They contain enzymes that break down acids, __acids and__ _(a toxic substance produced by the metabolism of some proteins and fatty acids). These organelles are found in a higher number in liver and kidney cells where their primary function is to break down and other toxins (drugs).
 * : these are also similar to transport vesicles, and they also

CYTOSKELETON: a network of protein fibers of various sizes, scattered throughout the cell cytoplasm.__ __1.__ __: Microfilaments these are the__ smallest __of the fibers and are typically found just under the surface of the cell membrane forming the cell cortex and reinforce the membrane. It helps with maintaining and changing the shape of a cell.__ __2.__ Intermediate __FILAMENTS: as the name implies are in between in size. These are scattered throughout the cytoplasm (like a net) and help to stabilize the cell as well as helping organelles remain in position (especially the nucleus).__ __3.__ Microtubles __: these are the__ largest __of the fibers and providing rigidity to the cell, and form “tracks” for organelles to follow as they move about inside the cell__ __M.__ _ Flagella : long extensions from the cell membrane, generally few in number, that acts like a “tail” or “whip” and moves the cell in the surrounding area. The sperm cell is the only cell in the human that has this structure. N. _ Cilia : short “hair-like” structures on the surface of the cell and are responsible for moving substances along the surface of the cell (out with old, in with new). The cells that line the respiratory tract and fallopian tubes (in women) have many of these structures. 7. Circle one of two possible answers given between the parentheses in each statement. 1. ( Protein Carbohydrate ) subunits form the basic components of microtubules. 2. ( Microtubules Microfilaments ) mechanically supports cell membrane and helps the cell change its shape. 3.
