    1) Cells are the basic unit of all living things, and they contain organelles that allow them to carry out life functions. 2) There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells that lack internal membranes and structures, and eukaryotic cells that contain organelles surrounded by membranes. 3) Key organelles in animal and plant cells include the nucleus that contains DNA, mitochondria that generate energy, and chloroplasts in plant cells that facilitate photosynthesis.

    Cell Structure & Function

    http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/cell/cell.html

    Cell Theory
    All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest working units of all living things. All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.

    Definition of Cell

    A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life functions.

    Examples of Cells
    Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem

    Bacteria

    Red Blood Cell

    Nerve Cell

    Two Types of Cells


    Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

    Prokaryotic
    Do not have structures surrounded by membranes Few internal structures One-celled organisms, Bacteria
    http://library.thinkquest.org/C004535/prokaryotic_cells.html

    Eukaryotic
    Contain organelles surrounded by membranes Most living organisms
    Plant Animal

    Cell Parts
    Organelles

    Surrounding the Cell

    Cell Membrane
    Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell Double layer

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

    Cell Wall
    Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria Supports & protects cells

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

    Inside the Cell

    Nucleus
    Directs cell activities Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane Contains genetic material - DNA

    Nuclear Membrane
    Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus

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

    Chromosomes
    In nucleus Made of DNA Contain instructions for traits & characteristics

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

    Nucleolus
    Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins

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

    Cytoplasm
    Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane Contains hereditary material

    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

    Ribosomes
    Each cell contains thousands Make proteins Found on ribosomes & floating throughout the cell

    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 Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes

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

    Vacuoles
    Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal Contains water solution Help plants maintain shape

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

    Chloroplast
    Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll Where photosynthesis takes place
