Important Point About Cells

The STRUCTURE of a cell “follows” FUNCTION of the cell. In other words, the way a cell is put together will fit its job!

Some interesting cells

Notice that these cells LOOK like they could expand (stretch) and contract – which they must do to work together to pull, lift, carry, push, etc. What kinds of cells are they?

Muscle cells!

Some interesting cellsNotice that these cells interlock (fit into each other). Interlocked cells would be harder to break apart. What kinds of cells might these be? Hint: Since these cells are hard to break apart, they could hold together and support an organism well!

Bone cells

Some interesting cells

Notice the structure of these cells – they have NO sharp corners. They are shaped more like pillows – so that they won’t get “stuck,” so that they’ll slide through “tubes” called arteries and veins!

Some interesting cells

The FUNCTION of these cells is to pass along messages from and to the brain. Notice their STRUCTURES. How do they “pass along” the information?

Interesting Fact about Cells

The human body has more than 75 trillion cells in it. If these cells were lined up around the Earth, they would circle the Earth more than 47 times!

“Protects” the cell against “invaders” such as heat, bacteria, insects, etc.Support

It is tough, stringy Acts like a wall

or a suit of armor

Facts about Cell Wall

Celery is made mostly of cellulose. Cellulose is tough, remember? It has to be (to protect each cell. Millions of cells surrounded by tough cell walls would result in tough tissue, yes? •When we eat cellulose (cell walls),

we call it fiber. It’s good for us!

Facts about ChloroplastsWHAT THEY’RE LIKE

• Cooks or chefsFACT

• Found ONLY in plant cells

FUNCTION• To make food

CELLS alive!James A. Sullivan

Chloroplast

ChloroplastVisible from Underlying Cell Layer

Think:

Chloroplast

Why are some chloroplasts colored green and others left clear?

The “clear” chloroplast is empty because it has not yet made chlorophyll. The green chloroplast is full of green chlorophyll that

has been produced with the help of the sun!

• Perhaps it is winter time, and the Earth directly enough to provide enough energy for photosynthesis to occur.

•Perhaps the plant is unhealthy and cannot produce chlorophyll.

•Perhaps the plant is in a spot that is too shady.

Which organelle produces food for the cell?

CELL THEORY

Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory in 1838 and cell biology research was forever changed. The cell theory states that:

The Cell Theory

1. All life forms are made from one or more cells.

2. Cells only arise from pre-existing cells.

3. The cell is the smallest form of life.

Interesting Fact about an Organ

Your ______ is the largest organ of your body.It comprises about 12% of your total body weight. In other words, if you weigh 100 pounds, 12 of those 100 pounds come from your skin.Even your eyes are covered by a layer of skin.By the time you reach the age of 70, you will have shed over 40 pounds of dead skin cells. Think about holding 4 10-pound bags of potatoes. That’s how much skin you will lose by age 70.

Interesting fact about hair, a structure that grows in your skin. This is a human hair and part of its root, viewed at 100x. What does it remind you of?

Photo by Student in 406, 2003Interesting Fact Source: http://www.innerbody.com/image/nerv16.html

“Did you know ?

The average person is believed to have over five million hairs growing on their body at the same time. Isn't it amusing to know that humans have just as many hair follicles as gorillas do? Hair color depends on amount of melanin (pigment). As we age, less melanin is formed and small air bubbles form, making the appearance look gray.”
