4.1 The Cell Theory
The cell theory, a foundation of modern biology, states that cells are the fundamental units of life
![Page 4: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Measuring Cells
One micrometer (μm) is one-thousandth of a millimeter

The Cell Theory Emerges
In 1839, Schleiden and Schwann proposed the basic concepts of the modern cell theory• All organisms consists of one or more cells• A cell is the smallest unit with the properties of life• Each new cell arises from division of another,
preexisting cell• Each cell passes its hereditary material to its
offspring
![Page 8: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
4.2 What Is a Cell?
Cell• The smallest unit that shows the properties of life
All cells have a plasma membrane and cytoplasm, and all start out life with DNA
![Page 9: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Basics of Cell Structure
Eukaryotic cell• Cell interior is divided into functional
compartments, including a nucleus
Prokaryotic cell• Small, simple cells without a nucleus
![Page 10: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
All Cells Have Three Things In Common
Plasma membrane• Controls substances passing in and out of the cell
DNA containing region• Nucleus in eukaryotic cells• Nucleoid region in prokaryotic cells
Cytoplasm• A semifluid mixture containing cell components

4.3 Key Concepts:Microscopes
Microscopic analysis supports three generalizations of the cell theory: • Each organism consists of one or more cells and
their products • A cell has a capacity for independent life • Each new cell is descended from a living cell
![Page 29: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4.4 Introducing Prokaryotic Cells
Bacteria and archaea are the prokaryotes (“before the nucleus”), the smallest and most metabolically diverse forms of life
Bacteria and archaea are similar in appearance and size, but differ in structure and metabolism
![Page 30: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
General Prokaryote Body Plan
Cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane• Made of peptidoglycan (in bacteria) or proteins (in
archaea) and coated with a sticky capsule

4.9 The Endomembrane System
• Endomembrane system– A series of interacting organelles between the
nucleus and the plasma membrane– Makes lipids, enzymes, and proteins for
secretion or insertion into cell membranes– Other specialized cell functions
![Page 50: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) – An extension of the nuclear envelope that forms a
continuous, folded compartment
• Two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum– Rough ER (with ribosomes) folds polypeptides into
their tertiary form– Smooth ER (no ribosomes) makes lipids, breaks
down carbohydrates and lipids, detoxifies poisons
![Page 51: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Vesicles
• Vesicles– Small, membrane-enclosed saclike organelles
that store or transport substances
• Peroxisomes– Vesicles containing enzymes that break down
hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and other toxins
• Vacuoles– Vesicles for waste disposal
![Page 52: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Golgi Bodies and Lysosomes
• Golgi body– A folded membrane containing enzymes that finish
polypeptides and lipids delivered by the ER– Packages finished products in vesicles that carry
them to the plasma membrane or to lysosomes
• Lysosomes– Vesicles containing enzymes that fuse with vacuoles
and digest waste materials
![Page 53: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

4.10 Lysosome Malfunction
• When lysosomes do not work properly, some cellular materials are not properly recycled, which can have devastating results
• Different kinds of molecules are broken down by different lysosomal enzymes– One lysosomal enzyme breaks down
gangliosides, a kind of lipid
![Page 57: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Tay Sachs Disease
• In Tay Sachs disease, a genetic mutation alters the lysosomal enzyme that breaks down gangliosides, which accumulate in nerve cells– Affected children
usually die by age five

4.6-4.12 Key Concepts:
Eukaryotic Cells
• Cells of protists, plants, fungi, and animals are eukaryotic; they have a nucleus and other membrane-enclosed compartments
• They differ in internal parts and surface specializations
![Page 76: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
4.13 The Dynamic Cytoskeleton
• Eukaryotic cells have an extensive and dynamic internal framework called a cytoskeleton
• Cytoskeleton– An interconnected system of many protein filaments –
some permanent, some temporary– Parts of the cytoskeleton reinforce, organize, and
move cell structures, or even a whole cell
![Page 77: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Components of the Cytoskeleton
• Microtubules– Long, hollow cylinders made of tubulin– Form dynamic scaffolding for cell processes
• Microfilaments– Consist mainly of the globular protein actin– Make up the cell cortex
• Intermediate filaments– Maintain cell and tissue structures
![Page 78: Cell Structure and Function. Impacts, Issues: Food For Thought A strain of E. coli bacteria that causes severe illness or death occasionally contaminates.](https://reader036.fdocument.org/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5697bf8c1a28abf838c8b761/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Motor Proteins
• Motor proteins– Accessory proteins that move molecules
through cells on tracks of microtubules and microfilaments
– Energized by ATP– Example: kinesins

Cilia, Flagella, and False Feet
• Eukaryotic flagella and cilia– Whiplike structures formed from microtubules
organized into 9 + 2 arrays– Grow from a centriole which remains in the
cytoplasm as a basal body
• Psueudopods– “False feet” used by amoebas and other
eukaryotic cells to move or engulf prey

4.13 Key Concepts:
A Look at the Cytoskeleton
• Diverse protein filaments reinforce a cell’s shape and keep its parts organized
• As some filaments lengthen and shorten, they move cell structures or the whole cell
