*Rough ER & Smooth ER 1
 Nucleus

The “brain” of the cell

Controls all of the

cellular activities

DNA is inside the nucleus

2
 Nucleus
CHROMOSOMES- are found inside
the nucleus
carry the information that
Chromosomes – determines what traits a
living thing will have

3
DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid

4
 DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA carries the genetic information of a
cell

Consists of thousands of genes

It specifies everything that is needed for

the maintenance, function, and replication of
the cell

It is made up of 4 different bases:

(A) adenine (C) cytosine
(T) thymine (G) guanine 5
DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid

6
NUCLEOLUS

The dark area in

the nucleus

Like a tiny
nucleus inside the
nucleus.
7
 CELL MEMBRANE

holds the cell together

keeps all of the pieces (like the organelles

and the cytoplasm) inside the cell

controls what goes in and out of the cell

Example: like a big plastic bag with tiny

holes in it

8
 How does the cell membrane work?

Has 2 layers of MOLECULES = BILAYER

Bi means two

The layers are made up of molecules called

phospholipids

**THINK OF a sandwich with two pieces of

bread and some stuffing on the inside
9
Cell Membrane: PHOSPHOLIPIDS

Each phospholipids
has a HYDROPHOBIC
and HYDROPHILIC
end

•HYDRO = means water

•PHOBIC = means afraid
•PHILIC = means loving
10
 Cell Membrane: PHOSPHOLIPIDS

One end of the molecule is “afraid” of

the water and one end “loves” being in the
water.

Proteins are stuck inside the membrane

Proteins are across the bilayer and

make the holes that let ions and molecules
in and out of the cell
11
12
 Mitochondria

Mito = Mighty / Power

The Power-House of the cell

They break down food molecules so the

cell has the energy to live

If a cell needs a lot of energy…it will have

more mitochondria

13
The Mitochondria structure has three main
parts:

OUTER MEMBRANE:
covers the
mitochondria

INNER MEMBRANE:
folds many times to
increase the surface
area because
chemical reactions (glycolysis) occur here
So…the more space it has the more energy it
can create 14
MATRIX: a fluid
that has water
and proteins all
mixed together
(like a solution)

•The proteins
take the food
molecules in and
combine them
with Oxygen to
release the
energy 15
 Endoplasmic Reticulum

also known as the “ER”

it is an organelle inside the cell that is

made up of membranes that are in the
CYTOPLASM of the cell

There are two different

Smooth ER
Rough ER

16
 Smooth ER

Main function is to collect, maintain &

transport things

Shaped slightly tubular

Creates steroids

Stores Ions for the cell to keep nutrients

balanced
17
Rough ER

It has bumps all over it giving it a “rough”
appearance

Bumps are called RIBOSOMES

ER collects the proteins (built by the

ribosomes) and creates a bubble around them

VESICLE- is formed when the ER pinches

off a part of its membrane 18
 GOLGI APPARATUS
•Also called the Golgi Complex
•It is made up of a stack of flattened out sacs
…like a loose stack of pancakes

WHAT DOES IT DO?

1) it takes simple molecules and combines them to
make larger molecules.
2) takes those larger molecules and puts them
into packs called GOLGI VESICLES
19
Think about building a model of a ship (that's the
molecule). Then take that model and put it in a
bottle (that's the vesicle).
20
Golgi apparatus

21
 LYSOSOMES (primarily animal)

•They combine with the food taken in by the cell

•The enzymes in the lysosome bond to food &

digest it (acidic interior)

• Next…smaller molecules are released which

are absorbed by the mitochondria

22
 LYSOSOMES
• When an organelle no longer works, the
lysosome will attach itself to it and break it
down like food (kind of like a cannibal)
– Chemicals can then be reabsorbed or
excreted

• Lysosomes can also destroy the cell if it

breaks open accidentally
– “Suicide Sacs”
– UV light damages lysosome membrane

• The enzymes inside the lysosome spread

throughout the cell and digest it 23
LYSOSOMES

Lysosome Animation

25
 CYTOPLASM
Protoplasm- everything inside the cell membrane

Cytoplasm- everything inside the cell membrane &

outside of the nucleus except the cell’s nucleus

Cytosol:
– Mostly H2O
– Contains organelles
– Contains salts, dissolved gasses & nutrients

26
CYTOPLASM

cytoplasm

27
 CYTOSKELETON
• Chief functions include:

– movement of material through the cell

for stuff not diffusion or osmosis

– maintaining the shape of the cell

– keeping the cell from getting

smashed
28
29
 VACUOLE

• Vacuoles are “bubbles” that float in the

cell

• Vacuoles are more important to the

survival of plant cells than they are to
animal cells

30
 VACUOLE: STORAGE IN PLANT CELLS
• Vacuoles in plants support structure

• Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might

need…like a backpack

• There are some vacuoles that hold onto waste

products, similar to having a big septic tank

• Storing waste products protects the cell from

contamination

31
 VACUOLE CONT’D

So, when there is no water…the vacuole

shrinks and the cell wall is the only
thing holding the plant together.

32
You will know that a plant's vacuoles are
shrinking when you see the plant begin to
droop over

HOLDING UP THE WALLS

33
Turgor Pressure- force exerted by the water
entering (osmosis) the vacuole, which then
swells exerting internal force on the cell wall
•Causes “rigidity” so the plant my increase
by stacking cells 34
Chloroplast

35
 Chloroplast
•the site of photosynthesis in eukaryotic
cells

•disk-like structures

•composed of a single membrane

•surrounding a fluid containing stacks of

membranous disks
36
•SOLAR energy
radiated from the Chloroplast
sun is captured by
plants(chloroplast)

•Then it is
instantaneously
changed into
ELECTRICAL
energy

•Then packaged as
CHEMICAL energy
37
 Chloroplast
•photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplast
the process in which plant use
Photosynthesis- water, carbon dioxide, and energy
form the sun to make food

38
 Chloroplast
•No energy transformation is 100%
efficient

•Not all the solar energy captured is

converted to electrical and then chemical
energy.

•Some of it gets lost as heat or other

forms of energy (light)
39
 Centrioles:
•generally appear in animal cells
•they look like two cylinders at right angles to
one another
•when viewed with an electron microscope, the
cylinders show up as nine bundles of tiny
microtubules arranged in a circle
•they help to form the fibers that move
chromosomes around when the cell is dividing
•as animal cells prepare for cell division these
two centrioles separate and go to opposite
ends of the cell. 40
41
 Ribosomes
•small dot-like structures in cells

•they are often associated with forming

rough ER

•Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis

in cells

•they are made in the nucleus of the cell

•A ribosome can make the average protein in

about one minute 42
 Ribosome Structure
•Ribosomes are made up of proteins and
ribonucleic acid(RNA)
•These molecules are arranged into two
subunits
•These subunits are attached to each other
and together form the entire ribosome
•When viewed through a light microscope the
ribosomes appear as dots

43
Types of Ribosomes
•There are two kinds of ribosomes
1) Attached to the rough ER
2) floating in the cell cytoplasm
•Attached ribosomes make proteins that are
used in the ER or transported within the ER
•Free ribosomes make proteins that are used
in the cytoplasm
