Biology and Society:
Drugs That Target Bacterial Cells
– Antibiotics were first isolated from mold in 1928.
– The widespread use of antibiotics drastically
decreased deaths from bacterial infections.
• Most antibiotics kill bacteria while minimally
harming the human host by binding to structures
found only on bacterial cells.
• Some antibiotics bind to the bacterial ribosome,
leaving human ribosomes unaffected.
• Other antibiotics target enzymes found only in the
bacterial cells.

fungi

Microscopes as Windows on the World
of Cells
– Light microscopes can be used to explore the
structures and functions of cells.
– When scientists examine a specimen on a
microscope slide
• Light passes through the specimen
• Lenses enlarge, or magnify, the image
– Magnification is an increase in the specimen’s
apparent size.
– Resolving power is the ability of an optical
instrument to show two objects as separate.

Cell Theory
– Cells were first described in 1665 by Robert
Hooke.
– The accumulation of scientific evidence led to
the cell theory.
• All living things are composed of cells.
• All cells come from other cells.

Electron Microscopes
– The electron microscope (EM) uses a beam of
electrons, which results in better resolving
power than the light microscope.
• Magnify up to 100,000 times
• Distinguish between objects 0.2 nanometers apart
– Scanning electron microscopes examine cell
surfaces.
– Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) are
useful for internal details of cells.

The Two Major Categories of Cells
– The countless cells on earth fall into two
categories:
• Prokaryotic cells — Bacteria and Archaea
• Eukaryotic cells — plants, fungi, and animals
– All cells have several basic features.
• They are all bound by a thin plasma membrane.
• All cells have DNA and ribosomes, tiny structures
that build proteins.

Differences Between Prokaryotic &
Eukaryotic Cells
– Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have
important differences.
– Prokaryotic cells are older than eukaryotic
cells.
• Prokaryotes appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.
• Eukaryotes appeared about 2.1 billion years ago.

• Only eukaryotic cells have organelles,
membrane-bound structures that perform
specific functions.

nucleus, which houses most of a eukaryotic
cell’s DNA.

An Overview of Eukaryotic Cells
– Eukaryotic cells are fundamentally similar.
– The region between the nucleus and plasma
membrane is the cytoplasm.
– The cytoplasm consists of various organelles
suspended in fluid.
– Make up animal & plant cells
– Unlike animal cells plant cells have
• Protective cell walls
• Chloroplasts, which convert light energy to the
chemical energy of food

MEMBRANE STRUCTURE
– The cell membranes are composed mostly of
• Phospholipids & Proteins
– Phospholipids form a two-layered membrane,
the phospholipid bilayer.
– The plasma membrane separates the living cell
from its nonliving surroundings.
– The plasma membrane is a fluid mosaic:
• Fluid because molecules can move freely past one
another
• A mosaic due to the diversity of proteins membrane

The Process of Science:
What Makes a Superbug?
– Observation: Bacteria use a protein called PSM
to disable human immune cells by forming
holes in the plasma membrane.
– Question: Does PSM play a role in MRSA
infections?
– Hypothesis: MRSA bacteria lacking the ability
to produce PSM would be less deadly than
normal MRSA strains.

• Lack cell walls
• Have an extracellular matrix, which

junctions, structures that connect to other

Nucleus Structure and Function
– Nuclear envelope borders the nucleus and is a
double membrane.
– Pores in the envelope allow materials to move
between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
– The nucleus contains a nucleolus where ribosomes
are made.
– Chromatin are long DNA molecules and associated
proteins that form fibers.
• Stored in the nucleus
• Each chromatin fiber equals one chromosome.

How DNA Directs Protein Production
– DNA directs protein production by transferring its
coded information into messenger RNA (mRNA).
– Messenger RNA exits the nucleus through pores in
the nuclear envelope.
– A ribosome moves along the mRNA translating the
genetic message into a protein with a specific amino
acid sequence.

interconnected either
• Directly or
• Through the transfer of membrane segments
between them
– The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of
the main manufacturing facilities in a cell.
• Produces an enormous variety of molecules
• Is composed of smooth and rough ER

Endoplasmic Reticulum
– Rough ER (RER) is due to ribosomes that stud
the outside of the ER membrane.
• RER produce membrane proteins and secretory
proteins.
• After the rough ER synthesizes a molecule, it
packages the molecule into transport vesicles.
– Smooth ER (SER) lacks surface ribosomes
• Produces lipids, including steroids
• Helps liver cells detoxify circulating drugs

Lysosome Functions
– Lysosomes have several of digestive functions.
• Many cells engulf nutrients in tiny cytoplasmic sacs
called food vacuoles.
• These food vacuoles fuse with lysosomes, exposing
food to enzymes to digest the food.
• Small molecules from digestion leave the lysosome
and nourish the cell.
– Lysosomes can also
• Destroy harmful bacteria
• Break down damaged organelles

Evolution Connection:
The Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance
– Many antibiotics disrupt cellular structures of invading
microorganisms.
– Introduced in the 1940s, penicillin worked well against
such infections.
– But over time, bacteria that were resistant to
antibiotics were favored.
– The widespread use and abuse of antibiotics continues
to favor bacteria that resist antibiotics.
