Introduction toCytology or Cell Biology
How do we observe cells?
Light microscope Visible light passes through object Lens magnify image
Electron microscope Scanning - surface of object Transmission - sees through objects 100,000 X to Millions magnification
power
How do we know what happens in each part of
the cell? Radioisotopes are used to "trace"
different chemical reactions through a cell.
Separate cellular structures with a blender
Centrifuge material and analyze each layer.
People who were important in early cell
discovery:
Zacharias Jannsen (1590)
Helped invent the First compound microscope
Robert Hooke (1665) Observed dead cork - called them
“cells“ Compound Microscope
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek (1674)
- living cells in pond water; one celled organisms -- animalcules
Robert Brown (1831) identifies the nucleus of a cell
Mattias Scleiden (1838)
stated that plants are made up of cells
Theodor Schwann (1839)
stated that animals are made up of cells
Rudolph Virchow (1858) Studied the pathology of cells. (ability to
cause disease)1. All cells arise from preexisting cells. 2. New cells can only arise from other
living cells by the process of cell division or reproduction
Cell Theory
1. All living things are composed of cells
2. Cells are the fundamental building block of life
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells (life begets life)
PROCESSES OF CELLS
All life processes involve energy changes.
1. Nutrition - food is needed for energy and building materials.
2. Digestion - breaking down reactions of food into usable parts.
3. Absorption - water, food, ions and other materials
4. Biosynthesis - cells organize many organic substances for cell activity.
5. Respiration - cell energy is released when certain organic molecules are split - energy is used for cell activity.
6. Excretion - waste materials passed from cell to environment
7. Secretion - synthesized molecules which are passed out of a cell and which affect the activities of other cells (vitamins, hormones)
8. Reproduction - cells divide; unicellular - more organisms, multicellular - more cells.
9. Movement - motion of all types; cellular contractions, flowing substances within the cell
10. Egestion - elimination of insoluble compounds and nondigestible particles
Eukaryotic cells – advanced cells
Have nucleus Plasma membrane Cytoplasm - everything between
plasma membrane and nucleus Organelles Fluid
Cytoskeleton – threads of microtubules and microfilaments in cytoplasm
Animal cells have unique structures Centrioles Lysosome Flagellum 1. 2.
3. Plant cells have unique structures
Large central vacuole Cell wall 1. 2. Chloroplasts

OUTSIDE OF CELL
INSIDE OF CELL
Cell Membrane Side Profile
Different membranes
All have similar functions & structures Plasma membrane separates inside of cell
from outside of cell Other membrane define organelles to form
compartments of eukaryotic cells
Forms a selectively permeable layer Lets some things in or out but not all Like a window screen
Nucleus
Envelope Double membrane Pores to get messages in and out
Chromatin DNA threads Protein balls called histones - wrapping
Nucleolus - site of ribosome production
Nucleus - Structures
Nucleolus – where rRNA or Ribosomes are made
Ribosomes
Consists of 2 parts, which are made in nucleus
Make protein in the Cytoplasm
Produce proteins from ‘recipes’ in the nucleus copied into mRNA Some (proteins) will remain in cytoplasm Some will be exported out of cell Some will attach to membranes in cell
Ribosomes are found on the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER
Smooth ER
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER - attached to nucleus
Ribosomes stud surface
Produces Membrane proteins - stay in cell Secretory proteins - exported from cell
RER makin’ Proteins!
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
No ribosomes, so not protein factories
More like transport system Makes steroids, lipids Liver cells have lots of smooth ER
Detoxify chemicals Supply and demand
Increases tolerance to drug So higher doses needed for same effect
Golgi apparatus – the Post Office of the Cell
Refines, stores and marks molecules for
shipment Looks like stack of hollow pancakes Products of ER arrive & leave via
transport vesicles Moving from one sac to the next
Molecules get modified Labeled and / or stored
Called the cell “Post office” because it marks and directs products in the cell
Golgi apparatus – what it does
Lysosome
Greek for breakdown body
Recylcer Sac of strong digestive enzymes
Compartmentalized for safety Can release to breakdown entire cell –
“suicide sack” Functions
Digest food vacuoles Digest invading bacteria Digest old organelles
Lysosome
Lysosome
Lysosomal diseases Genetic disorders ‘Recipe’ is messed up so protein doesn’t
work If recipe for lysosome enzyme
What should get broken down doesn’t Ex. Tay Sachs
Lipids aren’t broken down Build up occurs Eventually causes death
Usually in before age 5
Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration Conversion of food into energy (ATP)
ATP is what cells use to make things happen (drive chemical reactions)
Double membrane Big bag stuffed in smaller bag Folds of inner bag called cristae
Space inside inner bag called matrix Also once free living bacteria Efficiency - gasoline engines converts 25% of
energy mitochondria converts 54% of energy
Mitochondria
contains some of its own DNA (amount varies within organisms)
believed to evolved from a primitive cell engulfing it and creating a symbiotic relationship
DNA in mitochondria obtained only from mother of organism.
Chloroplast1. chlorophyll is green chemical that releases electrons, working like a solar panel in sunlight
2. forms glucose
3. photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2 O ---> C6H12 O6 + 6O2
Plant Organelles Chloroplasts - in plants
Chloroplast
s
Structure of Chloroplast Double membrane Grana
Stack of thylakoids Hollow disk Where sunlight energy is captured and converted
to chemical energy
Stroma Thick fluid filling chloroplast
Contains some DNA Once free-living bacteria
Cytoskeleton
Actin filaments
Microtubules
Network of fibers
Give shape to cells Allow movement of cell Move organelles around Made of microtubules and
microfilaments
Role of the Cytoskeleton
Cilia
Flagella
9+2 Arrangment in Cilia or Flagella
Basal Body of a Flagella or Cilia
•Note the triplet rings of tubulin protein
•9+0 arrangement•Nine sets of rings, with no set in middle•Used to set up 9+2 arrangment in cilia or flagella
Centrioles
Cell reproduction; goes to poles of cell during cell division and helps cell divide
Centrioles at Work in Cell Division
Different kinds of cells suited for a different activity.
Cell Specialization
Division of Labor Different cells divide their labor
each has a specific function and supports each other.

Levels of structure
Tissue Level
A group of cells that are alike in structure and activity in an organism muscles
- Skeletal muscle cells – motion- Cardiac muscle cells – heartbeat- Bones - support- Nerve cells - coordination, perception and automatic body functions
Organ Level
