Studying the Structure of Cells
1.1 Studying the Structure of Cells

In 1665, English scientist Robert Hooke became the first person to study cells

Cell Structure

Nucleolus: Makes Ribosomes, which help to make proteins

Nuclear Membrane: Protects the contents of the nucleus

Nuclear Pores: Allow materials, such as ribosomes, in and out of the nucleus

|Light Microscope |Electron Microscope | |Uses light source |Beams of electrons focused by magnetic lenses| |Enable view to watch living cells |Produces an image of the shadows cast by | | |atoms of heavy metals; the living tissue is | | |destroyed by the intense beam of electrons | |Electron microscope has about 10,000 times the resolving power of the light instrument, and | |can therefore show far greater detail |

Cell Theory (made in the mid-1880s)

All living cells are made of one or more cells

The cell is the basic organizational unit of life
(all organism body functions are designed to supply the needs of its cell)

All cells come from pre-existing cells
(cell reproduction)

Cytosol: Fluid material between the cell membrane and the nucleus, filled w/ many specialized organelles

Animal & Plant Cell Organelles

All cells in your body depend on proteins

A number of the organelles are involved in the production, storage, or transport of proteins

Proteins are essential nutrients for the growth and repair of body tissues

All Cells Use Energy

Cellular Respiration: The process by which mitochondria releases energy from glucose

Cellular Respiration uses oxygen in order to occur
(we breath in air - containing oxygen)

Cellular Respiration produces carbon dioxide as a waste product when it releases energy (we get rid of Carbon Dioxide & water

    cytoplasm is a homogeneous, which generally clear jelly-like material that fills cells . The cytoplasm consists of cytosol and the cellular organelles , except the nucleus. The cytoplasm offers support for the cell. It allows the cells organelles to freely move throughout the cell. Movement is sped up in the fluid of the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm can also act as a medium for transport within the cell.…

    Intro: Cellular respiration allows organisms to use energy stored. The materials produced are carbon dioxide and water. The body has stored away from the foods we eat in the form of glycogen, for the energy required to contract muscles movement. Lactic acid fermentation is glucose and sugars. The more energy we use the more CO2 we exhale. The Bromothymol blue and green when Presence and the more CO2 you use the color changes.…

    Ap Bio Lab 5: Cell Respiration

    To be able to carry on metabolic processes in the cell, cells need energy. The cells can obtain their energy in different ways but the most efficient way of harvesting stored food in the cell is through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway, which breaks down large molecules to smaller molecules, produces an energy rich molecule known as ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and a waste product that is released as CO2. Basically, cellular respiration is a metabolic process that releases energy from organic compounds (such as C6H12O6) by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats can all be broken down into fuel for the cell but cellular respiration is usually correlated with glucose. Cellular respiration also requires O2 to carry out its pathway, as oxygen will act as a final electron acceptor. So, the final equation that can be represented for Cellular Respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + heat.…

    Cytoplasm; Cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid inside the cell. The cytoplasm is about 70% to 90% water and usually colourless. It provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell; all of the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out in the cytoplasm of a cell. Cytoplasmic organelles are little organs that are postponed in the cytoplasm of the cell. Each type of organelle has a certain structure and a detailed role in the function of the cell.…

    Describe the structural compartmentation of mammalian cells

    Because of the sheer number of organelles in eukaryotic cells I will not be describing each independently and fully in this essay. Instead I will first provide an overview of the organelles involved in protein synthesis so as to give a logical order and clearer picture of each independent organelles specific function, and then move on to some of the most important organelles with a more independent function. The membrane that bounds the organelles into specific space is called a phospholipid bilayer. As shown in Fig 1, the bilayer is permeated with different types of protein, glycolipid etc. These allow the transmembrane movement of molecules that would otherwise be unable to permeate the phospholipid bilayer. This is necessary for the correct flow of molecules from one side of the membrane to the other, so the organelle is not starved of vital nutrients or unwanted electrochemical gradient is made, for example.…

    Cells and Organelles

    The cell is the basic unit of life. The following is a glossary of animal cell terms. All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. It is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Color and label the cell membrane tan. Plant cells have an additional layer surrounding them called the cell wall. The cell wall is made of nonliving material called cellulose. Color and label the cell wall brown. The centrosome (also called the "microtubule organizing center") is a small body located near the nucleus. The centrosome is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome. Only animal cells have centrosomes. Color and label the centrioles purple. Microtubules are shaped like soda straws and give the nucleus and cell its shape. Label the microtubules inside the nucleus.…

    The other products of respiration, carbon dioxide and water, can be reused by the cells doing photosynthesis. The ATP is transmitted to the other cells in the organism to provide them with an energy source. This is specifically important, for plants, because they can 't get new energy when the sun isn 't available, so ATP also offers a way for them to store up energy supplies.…
