CELL BIOLOGY
CYTOLOGY
The study of the structure, composition and functions of the cell
Cell The basic structural and functional unit of all living things consisting of a mass of
protoplasm with a usually centrally-located nucleus.
Functions of the Cell
1. Basic unit of life
o The cell is the smallest part to which an organism can be reduced that still retains
the characteristics of life.
2. Protection and support
o Cells produce and secrete various molecules that provide protection and support
of the body.Example: bone cells produce mineralized material, making bone a
hard tissue that protects vital organs. !ovement
o !ovements of the body occur because molecules located within specific cells
such as muscle cells.". Communication
o Cells produce and receive chemical and electrical signals that allow them to
communicate with one another.Example: nerve cells communicate with each
other and with muscle cells, causing muscle cells to contract.
#. Cell metabolism and energy release
o The chemical reactions that occur within cells are referred to collectively as cell
metabolism. $nergy released during metabolism is used for cell activities, such as
the synthesis of new molecules, muscle contraction, and heat production, whichhelps maintain body temperature.
%. &nheritance
o $ach cell contains a copy of the genetic information of the individual. 'peciali(ed
cells, sperm cells and oocytes, transmit that genetic information to the ne)t
generation.
History of Cell Biology
1. *obert +ooe
o n $nglishman, coined the term cell and was responsible for the beginnings of
cytology as a discipline in biologyo bserved thin slices of cor with magnifying glass, saw outer boundaries or walls
and called the hollow spaces as /cell0
2. nton an eeuwenhoe
o 3utch, naturalist, discovered bacteria and other microscopic organisms in
rainwater and studied the structure of plant and animal cells.. 4rancesco *edi and a(arro 'pallan(ani

o 3isproved the theory of spontaneous generation
". *obert Brown
o bserved cells with a central part, the nucleus.
o 3escribed the streaming movement of the cytoplasm as /brownian movement0.
#. 4eli) 3u5ardin
o 6oted that all living things contain a thic 5elly fluid which he calledsarcode%. !atthias 'chleiden and Theodor 'chwann
o &ntroduced the concept that all plants and animals are made up of cells.
7. 8ohannes Purin5e
o Coined the term protoplasm to refer to the living matter of the cell.
9. *udolf irchow
o 4ound out that cells divide to form a new cells. +e concluded that cells come
from pree)isting cells.
Modern Cell Theory
scientific theorywhich describes the properties of cells.
The three tenetsto the cell theory are as described below:
1. ll living organisms are composed of one or more cells
2. The cell is the most basic unit of life.
. ll cells arise from pre-e)isting, living cells.
&n 19;,Theodor 'chwannstates that along with plants, animals are composed of cells or
the product of cells in their structures. This was a ma5or advancement in the field of biologysince little was nown about animal structure up to this point compared to plants. 4rom these
conclusions about plants and animals, two of the three tenets of cell theory were postulated.

Three 4undamental Parts of the Cell
1. Cell !embrane @ protectively surrounds the cytoplasm
2. Cytoplasm @ the region where the main metabolic life activities tae place
. 6ucleus @ region of the cell where the genetic material is located
1. Cell Me&$r"neCharacteristics of the Cell !embrane
a. &t is a cytoplasmic boundary or limiting membrane condensed into a peripheral film.
b. &t is a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane that may or may not allowcertain ions and molecules to enter or leave the cell. ipid-soluble substances can easily
pass through the cell membrane.

b. 'erves as a limiting membrane that separates the cell from the surroundingenvironment.c. *egulates the internal environment of the cell by regulating incoming and
outgoing materials, accommodates changes in cell volume due to the elasticity
of the cell membrane.d. Transports substances in and out of the cell lie nutrients, gases, hormones
and waste products.

c. The cytoplasm provides a medium for the organelles to remain suspended.
d. &t also aids in the movement of the different cellular elements.
e. The cytoplasm acts as a buffer and protects the genetic material of the cell andalso the cellular organelles from damage caused due to movement and collision
with other cells.
Cytoplasmic 'tructure
a. Cytosol Cytosol maes up about 7D of the volume of the cell. &t is composed of
water, salts and organic molecules.
b. rganelles rganelles mean Elittle organsE, that are membrane bound. They are
present inside the cell and perform specific functions that are necessary for
the survival of the cell.
c. Cytoplasmic &nclusions The cytoplasmic inclusions are tiny particles suspended in the cytosol.
rganelles in the Cytoplasm
a. $ndoplasmic *etitculum networ of fine, tube-lie, unit membrane microtunnels that traverse the
cytoplasm between the nuclear envelope and the outer plasma membrane. 4orms a loose networ of canals connecting a comple) set of saccules and
vesicles.
Two Types:
d. *ough or Aranular $*

ocated between the nucleus and the cell surface and often connected to
the endoplasmic reticulum. &t is involved in modifying, sorting and pacaging macro-molecules for
secretion or for delivery to other organelles.
d. !itochondria or Chondrisomes
'pherical, rod-shaped, cigar or sausage-shaped, somewhat hollowstructures.
3ouble-walled, water-filled membrane consisting of:
o n outer membrane which is smooth, tightly stretched and
completely surrounds the mitochondria
o n inner membrane which is e)tensively invaginated into folds,
forming shelves called cristae which increase the surface for
energy production and en(yme activity. The inner membrane is the
location for energy production and reb?s cycle >nown as the powerhouse of the cell.

Interph"se
Before a cell can enter cell division, it needs to tae in nutrients. ll of the preparations
are done during interphase. &nterphase is a series of changes that taes place in a newly
formed cell and its nucleus, before it becomes capable of division again.
&t is also called preparatory phase or intermitosis. Previously it was called resting stage
because there is no apparent activity related to cell division.
Typically interphase lasts for at least ;D of the total time reuired for the cell cycle.
'tages of &nterphase
1. G"p 1 0G1 The first phase within interphase, from the end of the previous ! phase until
the beginning of 36 synthesis
&t is also called the growth phase.
3uring this phase the biosynthetic activities of the cell, which are
considerably slowed down during ! phase, resume at a high rate.
This phase is mared by the use of 2 amino acids to form millions of proteins
and later on en(ymes that are reuired in ' phase, mainly those needed for36 replication.
Cell increases its supply of proteins, increases the number of organelles

Period when the cell continues to synthesi(e *6 and proteins and increase in
si(e.
The mitotic spindle formed from the cytoinetic fibers start forming and the
cell ensures the number of chromosomes and the organelles present, whichfurther leads the cell cycle from the interphase to the mitotic phase.
MITO'I'
&s the process by which a euaryoticcell separates thechromosomesin its cell
nucleusinto two identical sets in two nuclei.
3uring the process of mitosis the pairs ofchromosomescondense and attach to fibers that
pull thesister chromatidsto opposite sides of the cell.
!itosis and cytoinesis together define the &itotic 0M ph"seof the cell cycle -
the divisionof the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other
and to their parent cell.
This accounts for appro)imately 1D of the cell cycle.
The 2 h"ses of Mitosis
1. roph"se 0the st"ge of prep"r"tion
3uring the prophase the nucleoli in the nucleus disappear.
The chromatin fibers become tightly coiled and condense into chromosomes.
Chromosomes line up in pairs and are 5oined at the centromere.
&n the cytoplasm, the spindle fibers begin to form and are made of
microtubules.
The centrosomes move away from each other, propelled by the lengthening
microtubules, or spindle fibers, between them.
%. Met"ph"se 0st"ge of sep"r"tion The centromeres are at opposite ends of the cell poles.
The chromosomes are lined up at the Imetaphase plateI, an imaginary line
euidistant between the two poles. T
he centromeres of the chromosomes are all aligned with one another.
The chromatids are of each chromosomes are attached to a microtubule which
form the spindle.
(. +n"ph"se 0st"ge of &igr"tion
The paired chromosomes separate.
They move along the microtubules toward opposite poles of the cell.
The poles move farther apart. By the end of anaphase, the two poles of the celleach have a complete set of chromosomes.
2. Teloph"se 0st"ge of nucle"r reconstruction "nd cytoso&e di-ision
The microtubules become even longer, and daughter nuclei begin to form at
the two poles of the cell.
6uclear envelopes are formed, the nucleoli reappear, the chromatin of the
chromosomes uncoils.

!itosis is now complete: one nucleus has divided into two genetically
identical nuclei.
Cytoinesis follows and involves the formation of a cleavage furrow, which
pinches the cells in two
MEIO'I'
!eiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent
cell by half and produces four gamete cells.
This process is reuired to produce egg and sperm cells for se)ual reproduction.

". Leptotene
The diploid chromosomes appear long, thin threads resemblingstrings of beads because of chromomeres.
36 of the nucleus is doubled and each chromosome is
composed of two chromatids.
$. 3ygotene
+omologous chromosomes undergo pairing, synapsis along
their entire length, forming bivalent units.
Chromosomes continue to coil and thicen.
c. "chytene
The paired chromosomes contractH hence each chromosome
becomes shorter and thicer. +omologous chromosomes of each bivalent twist around each
other.
d. iplotene
+omologous chromosomes become visibly double or paired.
