OUTLINE
1. CELL THEORY
2. DEFINITION OF CELL
3. LIFE HIERARCHY
4. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF PROKARIOTIC AND
EUKARIOTIC CELLS

CELL
• Cells building blocks of life
• Elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, & Nitrogen
• Cell Theory consists of three principles:
a. All living things are composed of one or more cells.
b. Cells basic units of structure and function in an
organism
c. Cells come only from the replication of existing

PROCARYOTIC Vs EUCARYOTIC
• Functions
1. transport of materials in and out of cell
2. recognition
3. communication
4. homeostasis.

CELL
MEMBRANE
nonpolar
hydrophobic impermeable to polar molecules
tails
polar
hydrophilic
heads
waste lipids
CELL MEMBRANE DEFINES CELL
• Cell membrane separates living cell from aqueous
environment
– thin barrier = 8nm thick
• Controls traffic in & out of the cell
– allows some substances to cross more easily than others
• hydrophobic (nonpolar) vs. hydrophilic (polar)
PERMEABILITY TO POLAR MOLECULES?
• Membrane becomes semi-permeable via protein
channels
– specific channels allow specific material across cell
membrane
Glycolipid
Phospholipids
Cholesterol
Transmembrane
proteins
Peripheral
protein Cytoplasm Filaments of
cytoskeleton
1. Phospholipids
a. polar heads are hydrophilic “water loving”
b. tails (fatty acids) are hydrophobic “water fearing”
and directed inward
2. Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
a. Only animal cells
PLASMA MEMBRANE b. Contain various protein fibers and complex
carbohydrates
STRUCTURES c. Function: assists in communication between cells
3. Carbohydrate Chains
a. Glycoproteins and glycolipids
b. Only occur on outside surface of cell membrane
c. Function:
Adhesion between cells
Reception of signaling molecules
Cell to cell recognition

PLASMA MEMBRANE STRUCTURES
4. Cholesterol
– Lipid
– Modifies fluidity
• High temp – stiffens membrane
• Low temp – prevents membrane from freezing
5. Proteins
-serves many different functions
– Integral
– Peripheral
38
NUCLEUS (PL. NUCLEI)
1. largest organelle within a
Eukaryotic cell. But NOT ‘brain’
of the cell!!
2. Prokaryotes have no nucleus,
but nuclear body.
• no membrane and a loop of
DNA - cccDNA - and no
chromatin proteins)
61
PLASTIDS
1. Cellulose
2. Hemicellulose
3.Pectic substances
4.Lignin
5.Cutin, Suberin, Waxes
6. Gums and mucilage
Centrosome Microtubule
