Week1 - The Cell and Its Structures and Functions

This document provides an overview of cell structures and functions. It begins by outlining the objectives of explaining the cell theory, identifying cell parts and functions, and comparing cells to factories. It then describes the history of cell discovery and defines cells as the basic unit of life. The document proceeds to discuss various cell structures like DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membranes, cell walls, organelles, and chloroplasts. It explains the functions of these structures like genetic material storage, protein synthesis, waste removal, transport, and energy production. Finally, it compares the cell's internal processes to a factory's operations and assigns learning activities on cell types.

of the cell
3. Compare the cell to a factory .

Cell Wall

• Only in plant cells & bacteria


• Outer membrane that supports
& protects cells

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Moves materials around in cell


• Smooth type: lacks ribosomes
• Rough type (pictured): ribosomes
embedded in surface

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Mitochondria

• Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats


& carbohydrates
• Controls level of water and other materials in cell
• Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Golgi Bodies
• Protein 'packaging plant'
• Move materials within the
cell
• Move materials out of the
cell

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Lysosome
• Digestive 'plant' for
proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates
• Removes waste
• Cell breaks down if
lysosome explodes

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Secretory Vesicle

• Use to transport and


release secretory
materials such as
neurotransmitters and
hormones.

Vacuoles

http://library.thinkquest.org/12413/structures.html
Chloroplast
• Usually found in plant cells
• Contains green chlorophyll
• Where photosynthesis takes
place
