THE CELL

TO SEE A CELL

•______- The first person to see cells, he was looking at cork and noted that he saw "a great many boxes. (1665)

•______- Observed living cells in pond water, which he called "animalcules" (1673)

•______- zoologist who observed that the tissues of animals had cells (1839)

•______- botanist, observed that the tissues of plants contained cells (1845)

•______- also reported that every living thing is made of up vital units, known as cells. He also predicted that cells come from other cells. (1850)

TYPES OF CELLS

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

•Prokaryotes are very simple cells, probably first to inhabit the earth.

•Prokaryotic cells do not contain a membrane bound nucleus.

•______are prokaryotes.

•DNA of bacteria is ______.

•The word "prokaryote" means "before the ______"

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

•Other features found in some bacteria:

•______- used for movement

•______- small hair-like structures used for attaching to other cells

•Capsule - tough outer layer that protects bacteria, often associated with harmful bacteria

What organisms are prokaryotic? ______

EUKARYOTIC CELLS

•Eukaryotic cells are more ______cells.

•These cells are found in plants, animals, and protists (small unicellular "animalcules").

•The eukaryotic cell is composed of 4 main parts:

•______- outer boundary of the cell

•______- jelly-like fluid interior of the cell

•______- the "control center" of the cell, contains the cell's DNA (chromosomes)

•______- "little organs" that carry out cell functions

What organisms are made of eukaryotic cells? ______

Use this double bubble map to compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

PARTS OF THE EUKARYOTIC CELL

Illustration / Cell Part / Function
Energy center or "powerhouse" of the cell. Turns food into useable energy (ATP)
Ribosomes
/ Processes, packages and secretes proteins. Like a factory.
/ Lysosome
/ Smooth ER - no ribosomes
Rough ER - ribosomes / Transport, "intracellular highway". Ribosomes are positioned along the rough ER, protein made by the ribosomes enter the ER for transport.
Nucleus and Nucleolus
Stores water or other substances, plant cells contain a large central vacuole.
/ Chloroplast
Provides additional support (plant and bacteria cells)
/ Part of the cytoskeleton, function in support
Also make up cilia and flagella (cell movement)
/ Plasma Membrane / Function: to regulate what comes into the cell and what goes out
Composed of a double layer of phospholipids and proteins

Prokaryote Coloring
Prokaryotes cells are the simplest of all the cells. Bacteria are prokaryotes and they fall into two major categories: The Kingdom Eubacteria and the Kingdom Archaebacteria. Eubacteria are common types that occur all around us, usually in they are, on surfaces and in the soil. You can only find Archaebacteria in extreme environments, like hot sulfur springs. Archaebacteria are thought to be some of the oldest life forms on earth.

Most bacteria don't make their own food. That means they have to rely on other organisms to provide them with food. These bacteria have to break down, or decompose, other living things to obtain energy.

When most people hear the word bacteria, they think of something that is bad for you. In fact, very few bacteria cause illness. Some bacteria actually help you! Bacteria are used to make food, such as cheese and yogurt, and they can also help us break down harmful substances in the environment. Scientists created a type of bacteria that could gobble up oil from oil spills. Some bacteria live inside the guts of animals and help them to digest food.

Unfortunately, there are many types of bacteria that can make us ill. Salmonella bacteria can cause food poisoning, and certain types of bacteria are responsible for other infections. You might have had some experience with Streptococcus, the bacteria that causes strep throat.

Bacteria have a very simple cell design. Most of them have a thick outer covering called the cell wall. On the picture, color the cell wall purple (it’s the outermost layer). Just within the cell wall is the cell membrane. Color the cell membrane pink. Along the surface of the bacteria cell, you might encounter structures called pilus, whose job is to help the bacteria stick to surfaces. Color all the pilus light green. Bacteria might also need to move around in their environment, so they can have structures called flagella, which resemble tails. Find the two flagella pictured and color them dark green. The watery interior of the cell is called cytoplasm, and it has the texture of jello. Color the cytoplasm light blue. Sprinkled throughout the cell are small roundish structures called ribosomes. Ribosomes make proteins for the cell. Color all of the ribosomes red. Every prokaryote cell has DNA floating within the cytoplasm, which usually looks like a twisted strand of spaghetti. DNA contains the instructions for the cell, basically it is the control center. Find the DNA and color it yellow.
