CELL BIOLOGY Biology 300 A. Niedzviecki

Introduction : 

Introduction Cells are the basic units of organisms Cells can only be observed under microscope Two basic types of cells: Animal Cell Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Plant Cell Made of cellulose which forms very thin fibres Strong and rigid In plant cells only

Plant Cell : 

Protect and support the enclosed substances (protoplasm) Resist entry of excess water into the cell Give shape to the cell Cell wall Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

A dead layer Large empty spaces present between cellulose fibres ?freely permeable Cell wall Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Lies immediately against the cell wall Made of protein and lipid ?Selectively permeable Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

A living layer Can control the movement of materials into and out of the cell Cell membrane Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Jelly-like substance enclosed by cell membrane Provide a medium for chemical reactions to take place Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Contains organelles and granules : e.g. chloroplast e.g. mitochondrion Cytoplasm Plant Cell

Organelles : 

Organelles very small size – can only be observed under electron microscope has specific functions in cytoplasm

Plant Cell : 

Contain the green pigment chlorophyll To trap light energy, to make food by photosynthesis Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Contain starch grains (products of photosynthesis) Chloroplast Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Rod shape For respiration Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Active cells ( eg. sperms, liver cells) have more mitochondria Plant Cell Mitochondrion( mitochondria )

Plant Cell : 

Starch granules Oil droplets Crystals of insoluble wastes Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

large central vacuole Surrounded by tonoplast Contains cell sap a solution of chemicals (sugars, proteins, mineral salts, wastes, pigments) Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Control the normal activities of the cell Bounded by a nuclear membrane Contains thread-like chromosomes Plant Cell

Plant Cell : 

Each cell has fixed number of chromosomes Chromosomes carry genes genes control cell characteristics Nucleus Plant Cell

Different kinds of plant cells : 

Different kinds of plant cells

Animal cell : 

mitochondrion nucleus glycogen granule cell membrane cytoplasm Animal cell No cell wall and chloroplast Stores glycogen granules and oil droplets in the cytoplasm vacuole

Different kinds of animal cells : 

Different kinds of animal cells

Similarities between plant cells and animal cells : 

Similarities between plant cells and animal cells Both have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm Both have a nucleus Both contain mitochondria

Differences between plant cells and animal cells : 

Differences between plant cells and animal cells Animal cells Plant cells Relatively smaller in size Irregular shape No cell wall Relatively larger in size Regular shape Cell wall present

Differences between plant cells and animal cells : 

Animal cells Plant cells Vacuole small or absent Glycogen granules as food store Nucleus at the centre Large central vacuole Starch granules as food store Nucleus near cell wall Differences between plant cells and animal cells

Microscope : 

Microscope Instrument for observing small objects

Different parts of a microscope : 

Different parts of a microscope

The cell as the basic unit of life : 

The cell as the basic unit of life Cell is the smallest unit of living organisms Unicellular organisms are made of one cell only The cells of multicellular organisms are specialized to perform different functions e.g. mesophyll cells for photosynthesis and root hair cells for water absorption

Levels of organization : 

Levels of organization Cells are grouped together and work as a whole to perform special functions

Tissue : 

Tissue A group of similar cells to perform a particular function Animals : epithelial tissue, muscular tissue Plants : vascular tissue, mesophyll

Organ : 

Organ Different tissues group together to carry out specialized functions Heart : consists of muscles, nervous tissue and blood vessels Leaf : consists of epidermis, mesophyll and vascular tissue

The Structures of a Leaf : 

Stoma Air Space Spongy Mesophyll Cell Chloroplast The Structures of a Leaf Palisade Mesophyll Cell

The Structures of a Heart : 

The Structures of a Heart

System : 

System Several organs and tissues work together to carry out a particular set of functions in a co-ordinated way Human : digestive, respiratory, excretory, circulatory and reproductive systems Plant : root and shoot systems

System in our body : 

System in our body examples of systems : Digestive System Respiratory System Circulatory System Nervous System Reproductive System

The Circulatory System : 

The Circulatory System

The Nervous System : 

The Nervous System

Male Reproductive System : 

Male Reproductive System

Female Reproductive System : 

Female Reproductive System

Level of Organization : 

Level of Organization cells (e.g. muscle cells, nerve cells) tissues (e.g. muscle, epithelium) organs (e.g. heart, lungs, stomach) systems (e.g. circulatory system) organisms (e.g. man)
