1. The document discusses the basic structure and function of cells, including that all living things are made of cells, which are the smallest functional units.
2. Cells come in two main types - prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack internal structures surrounded by membranes, while eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
3. The structures and organelles that make up cells are described, including the cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and chloroplasts, and their basic functions like producing energy and proteins.
Describes eukaryotic cells: contain membrane-bound organelles, found in plants and animals.
Image reference of a typical animal cell.
Image reference of a typical plant cell.
Introduction to the components of a cell known as organelles.
Discusses the cell membrane's role in controlling movement, and the cell wall's role in support, found in plants and bacteria.
Nucleus structure and function, including the nuclear membrane, chromosomes, and nucleolus, highlighting genetic material management.
Describes cytoplasm's composition, and details various organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and their functions.
Explains vacuoles for storage and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, emphasizing their roles in plant cells.
Cell Theory
• Allliving things are made up of cells.
• Cells are the smallest working units of all
living things.
• All cells come from preexisting cells
through cell division.

Definition of Cell
Acell is the smallest unit that is
capable of performing life
functions.
Prokaryotic
• Do nothave
structures
surrounded by
membranes
• Few internal
structures
• One-celled
organisms,
Bacteria

Eukaryotic
• Contain organellessurrounded by membranes
• Most living organisms
Plant Animal
http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/eukaryotic_cells.html
Cell Membrane
• Outermembrane of cell
that controls movement
in and out of the cell
• Double layer
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
13.
Cell Wall
• Mostcommonly found
in plant cells &
bacteria
• Supports & protects
cells
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Nucleus
• Directs cellactivities
• Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear
membrane
• Contains genetic material - DNA
16.
Nuclear Membrane
• Surroundsnucleus
• Made of two layers
• Openings allow
material to enter and
leave nucleus
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
17.
Chromosomes
• In nucleus
•Made of DNA
• Contain instructions
for traits &
characteristics
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
18.
Nucleolus
• Inside nucleus
•Contains RNA to build
proteins
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Movesmaterials around
in cell
• Smooth type: lacks
ribosomes
• Rough type (pictured):
ribosomes embedded in
surface
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
21.
Ribosomes
• Each cellcontains
thousands
• Make proteins
• Found on ribosomes
& floating throughout
the cell
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
22.
Mitochondria
• Produces energythrough
chemical reactions –
breaking down fats &
carbohydrates
• Controls level of water and
other materials in cell
• Recycles and decomposes
proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
23.
Golgi Bodies
• Protein'packaging
plant'
• Move materials within
the cell
• Move materials out of
the cell
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
24.
Lysosome
• Digestive 'plant'for
proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates
• Transports undigested
material to cell
membrane for removal
• Cell breaks down if
lysosome explodes
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
25.
Vacuoles
• Membrane-bound
sacs forstorage,
digestion, and waste
removal
• Contains water
solution
• Help plants maintain
shape
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
26.
Chloroplast
• Usually foundin plant
cells
• Contains green
chlorophyll
• Where
photosynthesis takes
place
