that I expect you to write in your notebooks
• I encourage you to find ways to shorten words or
abbreviate. Examples:

s.t.
– “The cell is the most basic unit of life”
cell = basic unit of life
I. Cell theory
a. A theory is a well tested hypothesis that can
explain a broad range of observations
b. The cell theory applies to all living things
c. The cell theory has three main Principles
Principle # 1
All organisms are made of one or more
cells.

– Others are multicellular or made up of many
cells
Principle # 2
The cell is the most basic unit of life.
Principle # 3
All cells are produced by preexisting
cells.
II. All Cells
A. Tend to be microscopic
B. Have a few key STRUCTUREs:
i. are enclosed
by a membrane.
ii. are filled with
cytoplasm.
iii. Contain genetic
material

III. Two types of Cells
Both types of cells contain the root word “karyose” which
refers to the nucleus
a. Prokaryotes
– “Pro” means before
– “Pro” + “karyose” = before a nucleus
b. Eukaryotes
– “eu” means true
– “Eu” + “karyose” = having a true nucleus

Foldable
What are organelles?

Organelles are specialized STRUCTURES
that perform important jobs within
eukaryotic cells

Our body contains organs. Each organ has a
specific role to play, which impacts the body as
a whole. An organelle is like an organ for the
cell.
For each organelle (cell organ) I will give you
its STRUCTURE and its FUNCTION.
– The STRUCTURE is a short description of what the
organelle looks like, where it is found, and how we
can recognize it.
– The FUNCTION is what the organelle does…it’s
purpose.
Cytoplasm
A. STRUCTURE: jellylike substance inside
cells that contains molecules and/or
organelles
B. FUNCTION: It supports the cell… kind of like
bubble wrap or packing peanuts protect a
package.
Cytoplasm
I. Nucleus
a. STRUCTURE: large organelle in the center of
the cell that stores most of the genetic
information.
- The “brain” or control center of the cell.
b. FUNCTION:
-Stores genetic material (DNA) that code for proteins
- Controls most cell processes
-Involved in DNA replication during cellular division
Nucleus
II. Cellular membrane
A. STRUCTURE: thin, flexible layer of lipid
that forms a boundary between a cell
and the surrounding environment.
B. FUNCTION:
1. Controls what goes in and out of the cell
2. Provides protection
Cellular membrane
III. Ribosome
A. STRUCTURE: small organelles made of
RNA and proteins that are found on
endoplasmic reticulum or in the
cytoplasm.
B. Function: Makes proteins by linking
together amino acids.
Ribosome
IV. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
A. Structure: interconnected system of
folded membrane attached to the
nucleus. Can be rough or smooth.
B. Function:
- site of ribosomes (only rough ER)
- site of production of proteins and
lipids
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
V. Golgi Apparatus:
A. Structure: Closely layered stacks of
folded membrane NOT attached to the
nucleus
B. Function: process, sort and deliver
proteins to other organelles or
outside of the cell.
- Sometimes modify and package proteins
Golgi Apparatus
VI. Mitochondria:
A. Structure: bean-shaped organelle with
cristae (folds) on the inside and a
double membrane.
B. Function: supply energy to the cell in
the form of ATP by breaking down
sugars.
Mitochondria:
VII. Lysosomes
A. Structure: small membrane-bound
organelles that are filled with
enzymes.
B. Function: Break down…
i. Molecules for the cell to use
ii. Damaged or worn-out cell parts
iii. Invading bacteria or viruses
Lysosomes
VIII. Vacuoles
A. Structure: fluid-filled sac that is large
in plant cells and small in animal cells
B. Function: Used to store materials like
water, food and enzymes as well as
provide support for plant structures.
Vacuoles
IX. Cell Wall
A. Structure: A rigid layer that surrounds
the cell membrane in plant cells.
B. Function: To provide support,
protection, and shape for the cell
i.
The cell walls can attach to one another to
support the organism
ii. Cell walls are made of different materials
depending on the organism
i.
Example: Cellulose
Cell Wall
X. Chloroplast
A. STRUCTURE: have a double membrane
and stacks of disc-like shapes containing
chlorophyll.
B. FUNCTION: Use energy from sunlight to
make food for the cell through the process
of photosynthesis.
i. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color
ii. Like mitochondria because it provides
energy
Chloroplast

Can you identify the organelles?
I’m a real “powerhouse”
That’s plain to see
I break down food
To release energy
What am I? ______________________
I’m strong and rigid
Getting through me is tough
I’m found only in plants
But I guess that’s enough
What am I? ______________________
I’m the brain of the cell
Or so they say
I regulate cell activities
From day to day
What am I? ____________________
Found only in plant cells,
I’m green as can be
I make food for the plant
Using the sun’s energy
What am I? ______________________
I’m a series of tubes
Found throughout the cell
I transport proteins
And other things as well
What am I? ___________________
I’m full of holes
Flexible and thin
I control what gets out
And what comes in
What am I? _________________
Proteins are made here
Even though I’m quite small
You can find me in the cytoplasm
Or attached to E.R.’s wall
What am I? ______________________
I’ve been called a “storage tank”
By those with little taste
I’m a sac filled with water
Food, enzymes, or waste
What am I? ______________________
Since I contain many enzymes,
I can digest an injured cell;
And can break down a large molecule
Into a smaller one as well
What am I? ______________________
I’m a maze of membranes
Proteins are packaged and transported here
Then they are exported
To organelles and cells that are near
What am I? ______________________
Eukaryotic Cells
• Review:
– Contain a nucleus

– Contain membrane-bound organelles
• Plant and Animal Cells are both types
of Eukaryotic Cells
Copy the following chart in your notebook

Membrane
ANIMAL
PLANT
Differences
• Plant Cells
– Have cell walls that give them a rigid
structure
• Cell wall surrounds the cell membrane
• This is one reason why plants cannot move freely
– Typically rectangular in shape
– Contain chloroplasts and large vacuoles
• Chloroplasts: use sunlight, carbon dioxide and
water to make energy in the form of glucose
• Large Vacuoles: to store water and other nutrients
and support parts of the plant
Cell wall
Chloroplast
Large vacuole
PLANT CELL
Differences
• Animal Cells
– Do NOT have a cell wall because they need
to be able to move around freely
– Do NOT have a chloroplast because they do
no go through photosynthesis
– Contain small vacuoles
• They do not need the additional support from a
large water supply

Viruses
– Made up of genetic information in the form
of DNA or RNA
– Contain a protein coat called a capsid
Where do viruses fit in?
• First, we have to figure out whether or not viruses
are even alive
• 7 Characteristics of all living things:
– Made up of one or
more cells
– Able to grow
– Able to respond or
adapt to the
environment
– Able to evolve as a
species
– Able to reproduce
– Able to maintain
homeostasis

Viruses
•
What can viruses do that all living things
must be able to do?
•
What can they NOT do?
Viruses
• Viruses need a host cell
in order to make more
viruses.
Life Cycle of a Virus
• Infection: virus attaches to cell and
injects DNA or RNA
• Replication: DNA of viruses is
copied by the cell
• Assembly: newly made viruses are
put together
• Lysis: when a cell ruptures, or breaks
apart, causing cell death

Review
• Virus enters the body through one of our passageways
• Proteins on virus must match up with proteins on surface
of a cell in order to trick the cell into allowing it inside
• Genetic information of virus is encoded into cell’s genetic
material
• Host cell makes a copy of the virus during protein
synthesis
• Newly made viruses burst through the cell membrane,
causing cell death
