Plasma Membrane

  • Surrounds the cell, “selectively” permeable
  • Composed of a phospholipid bilayer (2 layers)

and embedded proteins

  • Controls the passage of cell materials into and
  • ut of the cell
slide-7
SLIDE 7

Cytoplasm

  • Primarily composed of water, salts and organic

molecules

  • Suspends cell organelles inside the cell
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Cytoskeleton

  • Internal support system for the cell
  • Assists in the movement of organelles within the

cell

  • Composed of microfilaments and microtubules

(contractile proteins)

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Nucleus

  • Surrounded by a nuclear envelope with nuclear

pores

  • Contains genetic information (DNA) which exists

as chromatin in a non-dividing cell

  • Controls all cell activities

SLIDE 10

Nucleolus

  • Located within the nucleus
  • Produces parts of ribosomes

Nucleus, Nucleolus and Nuclear Pores

Mitochondrion

  • Produces cellular energy in the form of ATP

molecules through a process called cellular respiration

  • During the process of cellular respiration,

glucose is metabolized in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP

SLIDE 13

Ribosome

  • Site of protein synthesis
  • Ribosomes link amino acids together to form

proteins during gene expression

  • All cell types contain ribosomes
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Vesicle

  • Membrane-bound pouch that transports cell

materials between organelles and throughout the cell

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

  • Assists in the synthesis and transport of cell

materials

  • Two types: rough (with ribosomes) and smooth

(without ribosomes)

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Rough and Smooth ER

  • Rough ER has ribosomes which give this

structure a textured appearance, functions in synthesizing proteins

  • Smooth ER contains enzymes that function to

synthesize lipids and hormones

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Golgi Bodies

  • Consists of flattened stacks of membranes
  • Collects, packages and modifies cell materials to

be used within the cell or exported out of the cell

Lysosome

  • Contain strong hydrolytic enzymes
  • Break down old cell parts and cell wastes

Centrioles

  • Composed of microtubules, used during cell

division to move and separate chromosomes

  • Found only in animal cells
slide-23
SLIDE 23

Vacuole

  • Specialized structure that primarily stores water

in plants cells, sometimes waste storage

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Chloroplast

  • Site of photosynthesis where light energy is

converted into chemical energy (glucose)

  • Found in plant cells and photosynthetic protists

(e.g. algae, Euglena)

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Cell Wall

  • Exterior structure and support for cells, located

surrounding the plasma membrane

  • Plants, bacteria and fungi all have cells with cells

walls

  • Cell wall composition:

– Plants – cellulose and pectin – Fungi – chitin – Bacteria - petidoglycan

SLIDE 26

Cell Movement

  • Some cells have structures that assist in

movement – Cilia – numerous little hairs, cover cell surface – Flagella – whip-like structure that propels cells – Pseudopods – cytoplasmic extensions that help some cells move and obtain food (e.g. amoebas)
