2. Use a centrifuge
a. The “Pellet” contains large structures
b. The “Supernatant” (liquid) contains the small parts
c. Process is repeated with supernatant each time
d. Result - pure samples of cell structures for study.
C. Cell Sizes vary with their function
1. Vary from bacteria to bird’s eggs
2. What limits cell size
a. minimum it must house DNA, proteins, and organelles to
survive
b. maximum is limited by SA:V
Cell Fractionation
Cell Size
D. Prokaryotic Cells (pro “before”, karyon “kernel”)
1. No nucleus
a. DNA is coiled into a nucleoid region.
b. A plasma membrane encloses the cytoplasm
c. A cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of most
bacteria (not all) to protect it and maintain shape
d. A capsule surrounds the cell wall in some proks to
further protect
sticky outer coat; helps glue cell to surfaces
e. Pili are short projections from surface of cell. Some
proks have these
help attach to surfaces and involved in reproduction
f. Flagella are longer projections that help cell move
E. Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functional compartments
(Eu “true”)
1. Membranous Organelles
a. benefits for having membranes around organelles are:
conditions for specific rxns are maintained
processes can occur simultaneously thru cell
increases cells total membrane area

II. Endomembrane System: Membranes that are related through
direct physical continuity or by the transfer of membrane
segments called vesicles.
A. Endoplasmic Reticulum
1. Rough ER structure vs. Smooth ER structure
2. Two functions of Rough ER
a. makes more membrane (for ER and other organelles)
b. makes proteins that are secreted by the cell (ie.
Antibody)
1. As polypeptide is made…it
goes into ER
2. Carbs attached =
glycoprotein
3. When they leave they are
packaged into a transport
vesicle (budding from ER)
4. Goes to Golgi Apparatus
for further “folding”
3. Function of the Smooth ER
a. Makes lipids (fatty acids, phospholipids and steroids)
depending on type of cell
b. Metabolizes carbs and detoxification of drugs/poison
(liver)
c. Stores calcium ions (necessary for muscle contraction)
B. Golgi Apparatus
1. Consists of flattened sacs layered like pancakes
a. Has polarity because the membranes on either end differ
in thickness and molecular composition
b. “Cis” face receives molecules (side facing nucleus)
c. “Trans” face gives rise to vesicles that pinch off and
travel to other sites (side away from nucleus)
d. # of sacs correlates with how many proteins are secreted
2. Function:
a. Receives and modifies products from ER
b. Makes some polysaccharides
III. Organelles of the Endomembrane System (Theme: Structure Function)
A. Nucleus
1. DNA located here
2. DNA + histones forms long fibers = chromatin
3. Each fiber is a “chromosome” when coiled
4. Nuclear Envelope
a. double membrane of proteins and lipids that contains
pores (therefore it is semipermeable)
5. Nucleolus
a. where ribosomes are made
b. may have more than one depending on species and
stage in cell cycle
6. Nuclear pores
B. Ribosome
1. Structure: 2 subunits made of protein and rRNA.
No membrane.
a. Subunits
Large: 45 proteins; 3 rRNA molecules
Small: 23 proteins; 1 rRNA molecule
2. Function: protein synthesis.
3. Location: Free in the cytoplasm - make proteins for use
in cytosol.
On ER - make proteins that are exported from
the cell.
C. Lysosome
1. Membrane sac of digestive enzymes
2. Four functions of a lysosome
a. digest food vacuoles in protists
b. destroy bacteria (macrophages)
c. Recycle cell’s organic material (“autophagy”)
d. programmed destruction (embryonic development)
3. Needs membrane around it….why?
4. Lysosomal Storage Diseases
D. Peroxisomes
1. Contain enzymes that transfer Hydrogen from various
substrates to Oxygen, producing Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
a. In the liver, they detoxify alcohol
b. break down fatty acids for use in mitochondria (seeds)
E. Vacuole
1. Larger than vesicles
2. Functions: (depends on the organism)
a. Food (protists – store newly ingested food until
lysosomes can digest it.
b. Contractile (protists – pump extra water out)
c. Central – (plants) stores proteins (seeds), chemicals,
pigments, poisons, water, waste…makes up to 90% of
the cell's volume.
d. Tonoplast - the name for the vacuole membrane.
IV. Energy Converting Organelles
A. Chloroplasts
1. In a family of “Plastids” -- other members include:
a. Chromoplast – store hydrophobic pigments like carotene
b. Amyloplast/Leukoplast – store starch

energy to chemical energy

B. Centrosomes and Centrioles
1. Centrosome = made from microtubules, region located
near the nucleus
a. Function as compression-resisting “girder”
2. Centrioles (pairs located within the centrosome)
a. Composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules arranged
in a ring

C. Cilia and Flagella of Eukaryotes
1. Function to move cell or move things around cell
2. Differ in size, number, and beating patterns
3. Share structure -- “9 + 2” pattern
a. Core of microtubules covered in an extension of the
plasma membrane
b. Nine doublets of microtubules are arranged in a ring
c. Center of ring are two single microtubules
d. Doublets are connected to center by radial spokes
e. Each doublet has pairs of arms connecting it to
neighboring doublet
f. Attached to cell by a “basal body” which is structurally
similar to a centriole
4. How they move:
a. The arms attaching each doublet contain a large protein
called “dynein”
b. A dynein arm performs a complex cycle of movements
caused by changes in the conformation of the protein.
ATP provides the nrg.
c. Dynein Walking: arms grab neighboring doublet and pull
so that the doublets slide past each other in opposite
directions.
D. Centrioles
1. Usually one pair per cell, located close to the nucleus
2. Found in animal cells
3. 9 sets of triplet microtubules
4. Help in cell division
