 Lynn Margoulis to be independent organisms.
 What is the Cell Theory?
Three Main Components:
• All living things are composed of cells.
• Cells are the basic units of structure and
function in living things.
• New cells are produced from existing cells.
Is It current?
YES
 TWO CATAGORIES FOR
DISTINGUISHING CELL TYPE
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
 PROKARYOTE
• Smaller and simpler
• Have cell membrane and
cytoplasm
• No nuclei
• But, contain DNA within
cytoplasm
• Contain ribosomes
• All bacteria are
prokaryotes
• All singled-celled
• They grow, reproduce,
respond to change
• Some move
 EUKARYOTE
• Vary in shape, some large
• Have cell membrane and
cytoplasm
• Have nuclei and many
other organelles
(ribosome)
• Some single-celled
beings
• Many multi-celled beings
• All plants, animals, fungi,
and many
microorganisms are
eukaryotes

generation to the next
•Can be found in animal
and plant cells.
Chromosomes

•Assembly of
ribosomes begin
here
•Can be found in
animal and plant cells.
Cytoplasm
Location?
•Material inside the cell
membrane but not
including the nucleus.
•Contains many structures
called organelles
•Some cells may contain
cytoskeleton

Function?
•Establishes living
condition to supply and
transport materials for cell
activities
•Can be found in animal
and plant cells.
• Organelles act as if they are specialized
organs so the name organelle literally means
“little organs”.
Cytoskeleton
Location?
•Extending from nucleus to
cell membrane in some cells
•Found mainly in animal cells

Description?
•Made up of protein filaments
called microtubules and
microfilaments

Function?
•Helps cell maintain shape
and involved in many forms of
cell movement
Centrioles
Location?
•Paired structures just
outside the nuclear
envelope in the cytoplasm
•Only in animal cells
Function?
•During cell division,
centrioles separate and
take up positions on
opposite sides of the
nucleus
•Help organize the spindle
that separate the
chromosomes
Cilia &
Flagella
Location?
•Both extend from the
surface of the cell

Description? Cilia
Cilia – numerous, short,
hair-like projections
Flagella- one or two,
longer whip-like structures

Function?
Both used to propel
individual cells through
environment Flagella
•Found only on animal
cells.
Endoplasmic
Reticulum (E.R.)
Location?
•Extend from nuclear envelop
to cell membrane
Description?
Rough E.R. – contain
ribosomes
Smooth E.R. – do not contain
ribosomes
Function?
•Transport materials
•Rough E.R. modify proteins
for secretion
•Smooth E.R. contains
enzymes that make lipids for
the membrane and detoxify
drugs
•Can be found in animal and
plant cells.
Ribosome
Location?
•In nucleus,
cytoplasm, and Rough
E.R.

Function?
•Produce proteins
following coded
instruction that come
from the nucleus.
They are made of RNA
and protein.
•Can be found in
animal and plant cells.
Golgi
Apparatus
Location?
•Near E.R. and nucleus

Function?
•Stack of membranes that
accept proteins produced
by the rough E.R.
•Contain enzymes that
attach carbohydrates and
lipids to proteins (“package
proteins”)
•Proteins then sent to final
destinations
•It modifies, sorts, and
packages proteins and
other materials from the
rough ER.
•Can be found in animal
and plant cells.
 Lysosome
Location?
•Throughout the cytoplasm of the cell
•Rare in plant cells
•Mainly found in animal cells, some plants
cells store digestive enzymes in vacuoles.

Function?
•Small organelles filled with enzymes that
break down lipids, carbohydrates and
proteins from food into particles that can
be used by the rest of the cell.
•Also a “cell cleaner” to break down old
organelles that have outlived their
usefulness and dead pathogens.
•Lysosomes remove “junk” that might
other wise accumulate and clutter up the
cell.
•A number of serious human diseases,
including Tay-Sachs disease, can be traced
to lysosomes that fail to function
properly.

apparatus. The secretory vesicles
are then transported to the cell
surface for release.

• If you learn the cell song that I give you and
sing it to the class by next Friday you will get a
free 100 that will be the same as a prefix quiz
(which is a test grade).
• You can partner up but you both have to sing
the entire song to get the full 100.
• You can put it to any tune as long as it is
appropriate.
