Humans are made up
of trillion's of cells
that have special
jobs in order to work
together. This way
they have a better
chance of surviving.

survive
independently

What is a cell?
The basic unit of
structure and function
for all living things!
What is a theory?
A theory is a well tested
hypothesis that has not
been proven incorrect to
date.
What is cell theory?
1. All living things are made
from one or more cells.
Theodore Schwann
2. Cells are the basic unit of
structure and function in
living things. (Smallest
form of life!)
3. New cells come from
existing cells.
Matthias Schleiden
What types of
cells exist?
1. Prokaryotic Cell –
cells that lack a
membrane bound
nucleus.
Example: Bacteria
and archaea
2. Eukaryotic Cell – a
cell that contains a
membrane bound
nucleus & many
specialized
structures called
organelles. (plants
animals, fungi, protists.)
What are
organelles?
“Tiny organs” -
specialized structures
found within a cell.
Technically, organelles
have membranes around
them. (ex. Mitochondria,
nucleus, chloroplast, cell
membrane, E.R., etc.)
Types of
Eukaryotic cells
Single Celled – 1 cell
(ex. Ameoba,
Paramecium)
Multicellular –many
specialized cells working
together (plants and
animals)

Elodea – Magnified at 1000x
Magic School Bus
Goes Cellular!
Journal Question: Scientists have
discovered the following facts:
A. Unlike other organelles, chloroplasts
and mitochondria are covered in two
layers of membrane, not one.
B. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria have
their own DNA, separate from the
DNA in the nucleus of the cell they
are in
C. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
reproduce on their own within cells,
D. These organelles are about a
thousand times smaller than the cell
What can you conclude from this? What
would explain all of these facts? Take
some time and REALLY THINK about it.
Theory of Endosymbiosis:
A. Explains how membrane-bound organelles came to be in
eukaryotes – through infolding of plasma membrane
B. Explains the journal question: Both chloroplasts and
mitochondria were once separate, prokaryotic cells, until
they were taken in by larger cell and became organelles
C. Why would this be selected for by natural selection?

Brain / nervous system
1. Nucleus
DNA found inside, controls the
activities of the cell
1. Cell Membrane
“selectively permeable”: regulates
what goes in and out of cell
1. Cell Wall
Rigid outer layer of plant/some
bacterial/fungal cells, for support
1. Ribosome
Tiny “protein factory” within the cell - Challenging  muscle? (poor
> proteins do most of cells work
analogy though)
1. Mitochondria
Powerhouse: turns food molecules into
usable energy
Stomach / digestive system
1. Chloroplast
Contains green chlorophyll; captures
light energy, CO2 and H2O to do
photosynthesis
1. Vacuole
Storage units – Large and central in
plants, smaller in animal cells
1. Lysosome
Little “bags” of digestive chemicals
that kill invaders and recycle
dead/damaged cell parts.
Why can’t chloroplasts be
compared to any
organ/system?
Challenging  liver or fat cells
or bladder maybe

You are what you eat…literally
Your cells are made of four main
types of large molecules:
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins,
and Nucleic Acids. They can only
do their job if they have the
right amount of each of these.

JQ: When scientists first
attempted to make an avatar
they were unsuccessful.
After further inspection
they realized that a virus
snuck past its immune system
and into its cells. Once in the
cell it took over and
destroyed the cells.
Scientists think that the
avatar’s cells were missing an
organelle. Which organelle
was most likely missing from
the avatar’s cells?

from cells to organ systems.
Would you choose to be
cryogenically preserved if the
technology was available? Explain.
JQ: If you are going

Na’vi? Explain.
Where do we
find DNA?
With something so small
how is it possible to pull it
