Plant Cells
1 838 Matthias Jakob Schleiden German botanist, conclud ed the all plant tissues are composed of cells.
1 839 Theodor Schwann German zoologist, concluded that all animal tissues are composed of cells. Proposed the cell theory
1 858 Rudolph Virchow Completed the cell theory by expounding his famous conclusion “omnis cellula e cellula” or cells develop from pre- existing cells.
Cell Theory According to Schwann The cell is the unit of structure, physiology, and organization in living things. The cell retains a dual existence as a distinct entity and a building block in the construction of organisms.

Spontaneous Generation The hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter.
Francesco Redi
Revised Cell Theory A ll known living things are made up of cells. T he cell is structural & functional unit of all living things . A ll cells come from pre-existing cells by division. (Spontaneous Generation does not occur).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES To understand basic science CELL BIOLOGY Comprehend the way in which molecules of a cell cooperate to create a system that feeds , moves, grows, divides and respond to stimuli Be acquainted with the core concepts of cell biology in considerable depth
14 BIO L O G Y? Biology (from Greek βιολογία - βίος, bios , " life "; -λογία, -logia , study of ) is the science that studies living organisms Living things s tructu r e fu n ction or i gin e v olution distribution classification principles Cell theory Evolution Genes Hom e o s t as i s Energy Microbiology Molecular biology bio c h emi s try Z oo l ogy Bo t a n y Cel l ular biology Cell physiology Ecology
15 CELL BIOLOGY? Cell biology (formerly cytology , from the Greek kytos , "container"). Cell properties/ physiology Structure Organelles Interaction with the environments
Cell is structural and functional unit of all living organism
18 The cell is the structural unit of life. All organism is make up of cells.
1.1 The Discovery of Cells (1) The discovery of cells followed form the invention of the microscope by Robert Hooke, and its refinement by Anton Leewenhoek.
The Discovery of Cells Cell theory was articulated in the mid-1800s by Schleiden, Schwann and Virchow. All organisms are composed or one or more cell. The cell is the structural unit of life. Cells arise from pre-existing cells by division.
Basic Properties of Cells Life is the most basic property of cells. Cells can grow and reproduce in culture for extended periods. HeLa cells are cultured tumor cells isolated form a cancer patient (Henrietta Lacks) by George Gey in 1951. Cultured cells are an essential tool for cell biologists.
Basic Properties of Cells Cells Are Highly Complex and Organized Cellular processes are highly regulated. Cells from different species share similar structure, composition and metabolic features that have been conserved throughout evolution .
Basic Properties of Cells (2)
Basic Properties of Cells Cells Posses a Genetic Program and the Means to Use It Genes encode information to build each cell, ad the organism. Genes encode information for cellular reproduction, activity, and structure.
Levels of cellular and molecular organization
Basic Properties of Cells (4) Cells Are Capable of Producing More of Themselves – Cells reproduce, and each daughter cells receives a complete set of genetic instructions.
Basic Properties of Cells Cells Acquire and Utilize Energy Photosynthesis provides fuel for all living organisms. Animal cells derive energy from the products of photosynthesis, mainly in the form of glucose. Cell can convert glucose into ATP—a substance with readily available energy.
Basic Properties of Cells Cells Acquire and Utilize Energy Cells Carry Out a Variety of Chemical Reactions Cells Engage in Mechanical Activities Cells Are Able to Respond to Stimuli
Basic Properties of Cells Cells Are Capable of Self-Regulation Cells Evolve
Two Fundamentally Different Classes of Cells Prokaryotic and eukaryotic are distinguished by their size and type of organelles. Prokaryotes are all bacteria, which arose ~3.7 billion years ago . Eukaryotes include protists, animals, plan ts and fungi.
A Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
A Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Basic Properties of Cells (2) Characteristics that distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Complexity: Prokaryotes are relatively simple; eukaryotes are more complex in structure and function. Genetic material: Packaging: Prokaryotes have a nucleoid region whereas eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus. Amount: Eukaryotes have much more genetic material than prokaryotes. Form: Eukaryotes have many chromosomes made of both DNA and protein whereas prokaryotes have a single, circular DNA.

Basic Properties of Cells Characteristics that distinguish prokaryotes and eukaryotes Cytoplasm: Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles ad complex cytoskeletal proteins. Both have ribosomes but they differ in size. Cellular reproduction: Eukaryotes divide by mitosis; prokaryotes divide by simple fission. Locomotion: Eukaryotes use both cytoplasmic movement, and cilia and flagella; prokaryotes have flagella, but they differ in both form and mechanism.

Cellular reproduction in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Basic Properties of Cells Prokaryotic Diversity Prokaryotes are identified and classified on the basis of specific DNA sequences. Recent evidence indicates that prokaryotes are more diverse and numerous than previous thought.
Basic Properties of Cells (6) Types of Eukaryotic Cells: Cell Specialization Unicellular eukaryotes are complex single-celled organisms. Multicellular eukaryotes have different cell types for different functions. Differentiation occurs during embryonic development in other multicellular organisms. Numbers and arrangements of organelles relate to the function of the cell. Despite differentiation, cells have many features in common.
Basic Properties of Cells Multicellular eukaryotes have different cell types for different functions. Model Organisms: Cell research focuses on six model organisms. These are the bacterium Escherichia coli , the yeast Saccharomyces, the mustard plant Arabidopsis, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila, and the mouse Mus musculus.
Six model organisms
The Human Perspective: The Prospect of Cell Replacement Therapy (1) Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation. Adult stem cells can be used to replace damaged or diseased adult tissue. Hematopoietic stem cells can produce blood cells in bone marrow. Neural stem cells may be sued to treat neurodegenerative disorders.
An adult stem cell
The Human Perspective: The Prospect of Cell Replacement Therapy (2) Embryonic stem (ES) cells have even greater potential for differentiation ( pluripotent ) than adult stem cells. ES cells must be differentiated in vitro. The use of ES cells involves ethical considerations.

Basic Properties of Cells (8) The Sizes of Cells and Their Components Cells are commonly measured in units of micrometers (1 μm = 10 –6 meter) and nanometers (1 nm = 10 –9 meter). Cell size is limited: By the volume of cytoplasm that can be supported by the genes in the nucleus. By the volume of cytoplasm that can be supported by exchange of nutrients. By the distance over which substances can efficiently travel through the cytoplasm via diffusion .
Relative sizes of cells and cell components
Basic Properties of Cells Synthetic Biology is a field oriented to create a living cell in the laboratory. A more modest goal is to develop novel life forms, beginning with existing organisms. Possible applications to medicine, industry, or the environment. Prospect is good after replacing the genome of one bacterium with that of a closely related species.

Think Back to Last Class A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living things Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic Animal & Plant How cells fit into the rest of the body’s organization Cell Tissue Organ System Organ Organ i sm
Cell Membrane Provides support and protection Functions as cell Think of our school’s doors and intercom system and
Cytoplasm Jelly-like material that fills the cell Contains water and food for cell Holds organelles in place Think of the air that fills up this entire school
Nucleus Contains DNA , which makes you who you are Directs the activity of the cell – for example, when it g r o w s and d i v i d e s Think of the principal’s office as the nucleus and the student files in the office as DNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) The “ highway ” of the cell that moves materials around to other parts Some parts of the E.R. contain ribosomes , which create proteins Think of the school hallways where students and teachers transport ideas to other parts of the school If you drive too fast, you’ll end up in the E.R.!
Golgi Apparatus Packages, stores, and secretes energy for the cell Think of the lunch faculty who bring cafeteria food into the school, then pack and store it in the kitchen for later use
Mitochondria Break down food and release energy to cell – the “ Powerhouse ” of the cell Think of lunch time at school – food is taken out of packages, cooked, and then provided to students and teachers to power them for the rest of the day
Lysosomes Clean up the cell waste products ( Ly sosomes clean just like Ly sol! ) Think of the janitors who clean up any waste in the school at the end of the day
Cell Organelles
Why are there Organelles? Specialized Functions Act as containers (separate parts of the cell from other parts) Sites for chemical reactions (ex. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria)

Light microscope 6 Campbell et al , Biology; 2009.
Electron microscope To resolve smaller structures we use EM, which focuses a beam of electrons through the specimen (TEM) or onto its surface (SEM) TEM are used to study the internal ultrastructure of cells. A TEM aims an electron beam through a thin section of the specimen. The image is focused and magnified by electromagnets. To enhance contrast, the thin sections are stained with atoms of heavy metals. SEM are useful for studying surface structures. The SEM has great depth of field, resulting in an image that seems three-dimensional. 7

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells All cells o surrounded by a plasma membrane. o have cytosol, containing the organelles. o contain chromosomes o have ribosomes A major difference o eukaryotic cell: chromosomes are contained in the nucleus (within a membranous nuclear envelope) o prokaryotic cell: the DNA is concentrated in the nucleoid 9
A major difference... Cytoplasm All the material within the plasma membrane of a prokaryotic cell is cytoplasm. Within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell is a variety of membrane-bounded organelles of specialized form and function. Eukaryotic cells are generally much bigger than prokaryotic cells. smallest bacteria, mycoplasmas, are 0.1 to 1.0 micron. (most bacteria: 1-10 microns) Eukaryotic cells are typically 10-100 microns in diameter 10

12 Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cells “complex” organisms, including all plants, protists, fungi and animals “Simple” organisms, including bacteria and cyanobacteria Contain nucleus and membrane bound organelles Several chromosome Lack nucleus and other membrane-encased organelles. Single chromosome (DNA + non- histone protein) Can specialize for certain functions, multicellular organs and organisms Usually exist as single, virtually identical cells Cellular respiration occur in mitochondria Cellular respiration occur in mesosome (extended membrane) Ribosome: 40s, 60S Ribosome: 30S, 50S Photosynthesis occur in chloroplast Photosynthesis occur in chlorophyll located region Cell Wall present in Plants & Fungi only Cell Wall Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) e.g. Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Anabaena, Spirulina
