Cell Structure

Chapter 4
Bacterial Cell
Bacteria

Gram-Positive Gram-Negative

• Include streptococcus • Include E. coli

• Cell wall contains • Cell wall contains


peptidoglycan lipopolysaccharides
How Do Bacteria Move Around?
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Nucleus
(control passage of molecules in and
and out of nucleus)

(region where ribosomal RNAs


(rRNAs) are made)
(made up of DNA and
proteins)

(composed of intermediate filaments


that provide support to the nucleus)
Ribosomes
• Cell’s protein synthesis machinery

• Each ribosomal subunit is composed of rRNAs and


proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

• Synthesis and modification of proteins

• Contains chaperons (proteins that help other


proteins fold properly)
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

• Synthesis of lipids

• Storage of Ca2+ in the muscle cells

• Detoxification of drugs and poisons in the liver cells


Golgi Apparatus

• Functions in packaging, distribution, and an additional


processing of molecules
Secretory Pathway
Lysosomes
• Membrane-bound digestive vesicles
Central Vacuole

• Membrane-bound vesicle in
plant cells
Mitochondria
• Found in almost all eukaryotic cells
Chloroplasts
• Found in plants and some protists
The Endosymbiotic Theory
Evidence in Support of Endosymbiotic Theory

1. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts surrounded


by two membranes

2. DNA inside mitochondria and chloroplasts


similar to bacterial DNA in size and shape
Evidence in Support of Endosymbiotic Theory

3. Ribosomes inside mitochondria and chloroplasts


are similar to bacterial ribosomes

4. Chloroplasts and mitochondria replicate by


binary fission – not mitosis
Cytoskeleton
• Network of protein fibers found in all eukaryotic cells
- supports the shape of the cell
- keeps organelles in fixed locations
- involved in cell movement and movement of
materials and organelles within cells
Actin Filaments vs. Microtubules

- maintain cell’s shape


- participate in cell movements such as crawling
and contraction

- support and shape the cell


- involved in movements of organelles and vesicles
within cells
- guide the movement of chromosomes during cell
division
- found in centrioles, flagella, and cilia
Intermediate Filaments

- maintains cell’s shape

- supports the nuclear envelope


Motor Proteins
Flagellum and Cilia
• Have 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules

• Centriole and basal body have


9 + 0 arrangement of microtubules
What is “Outside” of Animal Cells?
• Extracellular matrix

- organizes cells in
tissues
Collagen Elastin
Fibronectin
- supports plasma
Integrin Proteoglycan
membrane

- communicates
with cytoskeleton

- composed of Actin filament


fibrous proteins,
Cytoplasm
glycoproteins,
and proteoglycans
Junctions Between Cells

connects the plasma membranes of adjacent cells in a sheet,


preventing the movement of material between them

connects the cytoskeleton of one cell with cytoskeleton of


another cell with the help of proteins
Junctions Between Cells

involves the formation of gap between plasma


membranes of two adjacent cells
(gap junction)
What is “Outside” of Plant Cells?

• Plants have primary and secondary cell walls,


which are made of cellulose
Plant Cells Communicate via Plasmodesmata

• Plasmodesmata –
cytoplasmic connections
between two neighboring
plant cells

• Function similar to gap


junctions in animal cells
