Drawings of eukaryotic cells should show a
plasma membrane enclosing cytoplasm that
contains 80S ribosomes and a nucleus,
mitochondria and other membrane-bound
organelles are present in the cytoplasm. Some
eukaryotic cells have a cell wall.
1.2.U3 Electron microscopes have a much higher resolution than light microscopes.
Resolution is defined as the shortest distance between two points that can be distinguished
•
•
•
Light microscopes are limited in resolution by the
wavelengths of visible light (400–700 nm).
Electrons have a much shorter wavelength (2 – 12 pm)
therefore electron microscopes have a much higher
resolution
Light microscopes are usually limited to 1000x because,
due to the resolution, nothing is gained by increasing
the magnification – try zooming in on an image on your
laptop or phone after a certain point there is no benefit
to zooming in as the image becomes pixelated

•
E. Coli is a model organism
used in research and
teaching. Some strains are
toxic to humans and can
cause food poisoning.
•
We refer to the cell
parts/ultrastructure of
prokaryotes rather than use
the term organelle as very
few structures in
prokaryotes are regarded as
organelles.
1.2.A2 Prokaryotes divide by binary fission.
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually using the process of
binary fission
• The DNA is replicated semi conservatively [2.7.U1]
• The two DNA loops attach to the membrane
• The membrane elongates and pinches off
(cytokinesis) forming two separate cells
• The two daughter cells are genetically identically
(clones)
• Binary fission is also used by some organelles in
eukaryotes [links to 1.5.U3]

1.2.U2 Eukaryotes have a compartmentalized cell structure.
There are several advantages in being
compartmentalized:
• Effeciency of metabolism - enzymes and
substrates can localized and much more
concentrated
• Localised conditions - pH and other such factors
can be kept at optimal levels. The optimal pH level
for one process in one part of the cell
• Toxic / damaging substances can be isolated, e.g.
digestive enzymes (that could digest the cell itself)
are stored in lysosomes
• Numbers and locations of organelles can be
changed dependent on the cell’s requirements.

1.2.A1 Structure and function of organelles within exocrine gland cells of the pancreas
and within palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf.
Nucleus
• Generally spherical with a double membrane
• Pores (holes) are present in the membrane
• Allow mRNA to exit
• Contains genetic information in the form of
chromosomes (DNA and associated histone
proteins)
• Nucleosome
• Uncoiled chromosomes are referred to as
chromatin – they stain a dark colour and are
concentrated at the edges of the nucleus
• mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus (prior to

1.2.A1 Structure and function of organelles within exocrine gland cells of the pancreas
and within palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf.
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (rER)
• The consists of flattened membrane sacs, called
cisternae
• Often located near to the nucleus
• 80S Ribosomes are attached to the outside of
the cisternae are ribosomes
• rER synthesizes proteins which are transported,
by vesicles, to the golgi apparatus for
modification before secretion outside the cell
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
• no ribosomes present
1.2.A1 Structure and function of organelles within exocrine gland cells of the pancreas
and within palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf.
smooth ER (think of a body builder)
• does not have ribosomes on its surface
• function in making lipids (phospholipids
and steroids)
• metabolism (anabolic—put together) of
carbohydrates
• detoxification of drugs and poisons, and
storage of calcium ions
• If an autopsy indicates lots of smooth ER—
person probably on drugs or an alcoholic
1.2.A1 Structure and function of organelles within exocrine gland cells of the pancreas
and within palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf.
The Golgi apparatus
• This organelle also consists of flattened
membrane sacs called cisternae, like rER.
• Different to rER:
o No attached ribosomes
o Often sited close to the plasma membrane
o The cisternae are shorter and more curved
that those of the rER
• The Golgi apparatus processes (modifies)
proteins from from the rER. The proteins are
then repackaged in vesicles for secretion
outside the cell.

and within palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf.
Lysosomes
• Generally spherical with a single
membrane
• Formed from Golgi vesicles.
• They contain digestive enzymes for
breakdown of:
o ingested food in vesicles
o unwanted/damaged organelles
o The cell itself
• High concentration of enzymes (a type
of protein) cause this organelle to
stain heavily and hence appear dark
on micrographs

Vacuoles
• Single membrane with fluid inside
• In Plant cells vacuoles are large
and permanent, often occupying
the majority of the cell volume
• In animals vacuoles are smaller
and temporary and used for
various reasons, e.g. to absorb
food and digest it

Many, but not all, plant cells contain chloroplasts
A double membrane surrounds the chloroplast
Has it’s own DNA
Has it’s own Ribosomes
Inside are stacks of thylakoid disks
Each thylakoid is a disc composed of a flattened
membrane
The shape of chloroplasts is variable but is usually
ovoid
The site of photosynthesis and hence where glucose
is produced.
Starch grains maybe present if photosynthesis is
happening quickly

Cell wall
• an extracellular component not an organelle.
• secreted by all plant cells (fungi and some
protists also secrete cell walls).
• Plant cell walls consist mainly of cellulose which
is:
o Permeable - does not affect transport in
and out of the cell
o Strong – gives support to the cell and
prevent the plasma membrane bursting
when under pressure
o Hard to digest –resistant to being broken
down, therefore lasts along time without
the need for replacement/maintenance

1.2.9 State three differences between plant and animal
cells.
•
•
•
•
•
Only plant cells have:
Cell walls
Chloroplasts
Large central vacuoles and tonoplast
Plasmodesmata (microscopic channels which traverse
the cell walls of plan cells and some algal cells,
enabling transport and communication between them
Starch granules for storage of carbohydrates
Only animal cells have:
Centrioles
Flagella
Glycogen for storage of carbohydrate
Lysosomes—careful, I have read where some plants have
lysosomes.
Also: Plant cells usually have much less cholesterol in their
plasma membranes.
Remember--Cholesterol is required to build and maintain
Said a little differently
• Animal cells only have a plasma membrane and no cell wall. Whereas plant cells
have a plasma membrane and a cell wall. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts
whereas plant cells do for the process of photosynthesis.
• Animal cells store glycogen as their carbohydrate resource whereas plants store
starch.
• Animal cells do not usually contain any vacuoles and if present they are small or
temporary. On the other hand plants have a large vacuole that is always present.
• Animal cells can change shape due to the lack of a cell wall and are usually rounded
whereas plant cells have a fixed shape kept by the presence of the cell wall.
1.2.10 Outline two roles of extracellular
components
• Animals
• The extracellular matrix (ECM) is made from glycoproteins secreted
from the cell, which serve the following functions:
– Provides support and anchorage for cells
– Segregates tissues from one another
– Regulates intercellular communication by sequestering growth factors (a
substance, such as a vitamin or hormone, that is required for the stimulation of
growth in living cells.)
Outline two roles of extracellular components
•
•
Plants
The cell wall in plants is made from cellulose secreted from the cell, which serves the
following functions:
– Provides support and mechanical strength for the cell (maintains cell shape)
– Prevents excessive water uptake by maintaining a stable, turgid state
– Serves as a barrier against infection by pathogens
…State the composition and function of the plant cell wall. (Just an FYI—not
an IB component)
• Three layers:
– middle lamella (between adjacent cells– attachment)
– primary cell wall
– secondary cell wall (stronger– has lignin for strength)
• Functions= structure, support, protection.
