A. CELL THEORY

1) All living things are made of one or more cells.2) Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.3) Living cells come only from other living cells.

• These cells have a nucleus.• Nucleus is a membrane covered organelle

that holds the DNA.• Examples are plant and animal cells.

B) Two Types of Cells:

• These cells DO NOT have a nucleus.• DNA exists in loops that floats freely in the

cell.• An example is bacteria

C) COMPARING TWO EUKARYOTIC CELLS:

ANIMAL CELL VS.PLANT CELL

1) ORGANELLES:• tiny organs in the cell.

2) CYTOPLASM:• fluid filling inside the cell

membrane.• makes up the majority of cell’s

mass.

3) CELL MEMBRANE

• controls movement of materials into and out of the cell

• holds cell together

Cell membrane

Cell membrane

Animal Cell

Cell membrane made of special

lipids called “phospholipids”

9

One phospholipid molecule.

Cell membrane

Animal Cell12

• found in plant cells not animal cells

• provides strength and support for plant cells.

• made of cellulose (long chains of sugar molecules)

1) Nucleus:

• the control center of the cell

• stores DNA

(a) nucleolus - dark spot inside the nucleus, which makes ribosomes.

E) ORGANELLES OF CELLS:

15

(b) nuclear membrane - controls movement of materials

in and out of nucleus.

(c) DNA - stores information for making proteins

2) RIBOSOME• tiny grain like

particles usually found along the E.R.

• proteins are made here

Close as you get to a real picture of a Ribosome. It is made of RNA and

protein.

3) Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):• makes lipids

• the delivery system of the cell for compounds such as proteins through its tubular connections.

4) Mitochondria:

• the “Power House” of the cell

• releases energy packets of ATP for use in the cell.

5) Chloroplast:

• “Solar Panels” for capturing energy

• they use energy from sunlight to make food in plant cells (i.e. glucose).

• “Storage Tanks” of the cell

• store water, food and waste.

7) Golgi body:

• packages and transports materials out of the cell.

8) Lysosome:

• “Clean-up and Recycling Crew”

• digest food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders.
