Topic 5: Cells o Cytoplasm – substance where

ribosomes and rest of organelles


CELL STRUCTURE
float around
Cells – are the smallest living units of an o Endoplasmic Reticulum – aside
organism from cytoplasm, some ribosomes
float around here [ER]; enclosed
All cells have:
passageway for transportation of
 Cell membrane – separates the materials (synthesized proteins)
inside from the environment 2 Types:
 Cytoplasm – a jelly-like fluid a. Rough ER – has
 DNA – cell’s genetic material ribosomes attached
to it
2 Categories of Cell
b. Smooth ER – no
1. Eukaryotic Cells – contain ribosomes are
organelles including nucleus and attached
other special parts; more o Small vesicles – where proteins
advanced complex cells found in and other materials emerge from
plants and animals ER
2. Prokaryotic Cells – do not contain o Golgi Apparatus (body) –
nucleus or membrane enclosed receives the protein and other
organelles, but have genetic materials where it is being
material; always once-celled customized in a form that cells
[unicellular organisms e.g. can use by folding into usable
bacteria] shapes or adding other materials
(carbohydrates, lipids)
Organelles – “little organ” specialized
o Vacuoles – sac-like structure that
parts of a cell that have unique jobs to
store different materials [in plant
perform:
cell, it stores water]
o Nucleus – the control center of o Lysosome – take in damaged or
cell containing the DNA which worn out cell parts; filled with
tells the cell what to do and how enzymes that break down the
to do it cellular debris
o Chromatin – tangled, spread out o Mitochondrion – an organelle that
form of DNA found inside the is the powerhouse for both animal
nuclear membrane and plant cells
o Chromosomes – DNA condenses
Cellular Respiration -
into these structures when the
mitochondria make ATP
cell is ready to divide
molecules that provides energy
o Nucleolus – contained by nucleus
for all cell activities
where ribosomes are made
o Ribosomes – leaves the nucleus o Cytoskeleton – thread-like
to synthesize or make proteins microfilaments made of proteins
and microtubules that maintains
the shape of the cell
o Photoautotrophic [plants] –
capture sunlight for energy
o Chloroplast – where
photosynthesis happens
o Chlorophyll – green pigments
o Cell wall – found outside the cell
membrane that shapes, support,
and protect the plant cell; animal
cells don’t have cell walls
Other structures only some cell have:
o Cilia – found in respiratory tract;
microscopic hair-like projections
move in waves and can trap
inhaled particles in the air and
expels them when coughing
o Flagella – tail the helps cell move
or proper itself [sperm cell – only
human cell containing flagella]
