A tour of the Cell
Mitochondria & Chloroplasts
chloroplasts
Functions as the site of photosynthesis in many plant cells
Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis
Converts light energy -> glucose
chloroplast structure
stroma = contains enzymes, DNA, & ribosomes
Thylakoids = contain chlorophyll
Outer & inner membrane
Grana = stacks of thylakoids
Mitochondria
Synthesize a lot of energy for the cell
breaks down glucose to produce ATP
Site of cellular respiration
mitochondria structure
inner membrane
highly folded
contains proteins for ATP production
cristae
folds for the inner membrane
increase surface area for energy reactions
Outer membrane
protects the organelle
Smooth outer covering
intermembrane space
Space between outer & inner membrane
Matrix
Fluid filled interior
contains enzymes, mitochondria, DNA, & ribosomes
microscopes
2 main microscopes
Light microscopes
View plant cells
Observe cells & tissues
uses light to magnify small objects
Magnifies small specimens
electron microscope
Uses electrons for higher magnification of small objects
View viruses
Views cells inside (TEM)
View surface details (SEM)
Types of electron mircoscopes
SEM
3D images
view the surface of bacteria
Visualizes external cell surfaces
TEM
visualizes internal cell structures
seeing virus particles
2D images
Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic cells
features of bacterial cells
bacteria
prokaryotic
Unicellular
Most abundant & diverse organism on earth
Small 70s ribosomes
divide by binary fission
Bacterial DNA
Circular in shape & found in nucleoid
may have plasmids
controls cell activities
plasmids in bacteria make them resistant to penicillin
features of Eukaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells
Have a nucleus & other membrane bound organelles
Divide by mitosis & cytokinesis
human cheek cell
Large 80s ribosomes
Eukaryotic DNA
stores genetic info
human DNA= 46 linear chromosomes in nucleus
Linear in shape & found inside the nucleus
prokaryotic cells
reproduce quickly by binary fission
E.coli= lives in intestines
Not have a nucleus (includes bacteria & archaea)
Endomembrane system: Digestive organelles
Digestive organelles
Lysosomes
breaks down waste materials
Found mainly in animal cells
use to destroy bacteria
peroxisomes
break down fatty acids
Helps convert fats into sugars (in seeds)
found in all eukaryotic cells
Central Vacuole
Large membrane bound sac
maintains turgor pressure
plant lacks water -> vacuole shrinks -> plant wilts
introduction to eukaryotic organelles
ribosomes
attached ribosomes
make membrane proteins for cell surface
proteins are processed & packaged fir transport
Attached to rough ER
Free ribosomes
Proteins stay inside the cell
makes proteins for cell membrane/cytoskeleton
Float in the cytoplasm
Endomembrane system: Protein Secretion
Endomembrane system
Protein Secretion
export proteins
insulin released from pancreas cells
Involves several organelles interact in a specific order
Nuclear Envelope
Double membrane surrounds the nucleus
contains nuclear pores
mRNA & ribosomal subunits to exit
endoplasmic reticulum
RER
Sends proteins to golgi apparatus
SER
synthesizes lipids
connected to the nuclear envelope
Golgi apparatus
receive vesicles
sorts & packages proteins into vesicles
Stacked of flattened membrane sacs (cisternae)
shipping trans
Receiving cis
intro to the cytoskeleton
3 major components
intermediate filaments
Immediate in size & made of variable proteins
anchor organelles
keratin in skin cells
Microfilaments
Made of protein actin
maintain cell chape
muscle cells contract using actin
microtubules
made of repeating tubulin proteins
Make cilia & flagella for cell movement
flagella propelling sperm cells
Cilia
Short hair like structures
move fluids
move mucus & trapped dust
flagella
Longer hair like structures
propels cells through liquid
Sperm cells swim toward egg
Cell junctions
4 types of cell junctions
anchoring
anchor neighboring cells together
prevent cells from tearing apart
heart muscle cells = withstand contraction forces
gap
connect cytoplasm of 2 animal cells
allows ions and small molecules to pass
Smooth muscle cells = contraction in intestines
Tight
help maintain cell polarity
intestinal lining = prevent digestive enzymes from leaking
Link cells create leak proof barrier
plasmodesmata
connect cytoplasm of 2 plant cells
helps plant cells respond to environmental changes
allow sugars from photosynthesis to move between leaf cells
