Cells alive!
Cells are the smallest units of life
This means that all living things are composed of cells.
They can be either a single cell or multiple cells, each performing a specialised function:
eg:
bacterial cells red blood cells nerve cells skeletal muscle cells
![Page 3: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cells alive!
Cells and their structures were discovered as microscopesbecame more powerful.
When magnified:
o The cells are visible.
o Smaller structureswithin the cells are also visible.
o The cells can be seen dividing to formnew cells.

What’s in a cell?
Our bodies contain organs to carry out specialised functions
o eg. lungs for respiration, stomach for digestion, etc
Likewise, our cells contain organellesthat carry out specialised functions
o eg. mitochondria for respiration, lysosomes for digestion, etc
o The picture on the right is showing a lysosome digesting a broken mitochondria!

Types of cells
Our cells are eukaryotic
This means that:
o they have lots of organelles that surrounded by individual membranes (“wrappers”)
o they have a nucleusthat controls all cell functions
![Page 6: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of cells
All animal, plant and fungi cells are eukaryotic
But there are stillsome differences between them
![Page 7: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Types of cells
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic
This means that:
o they don’t have any organelles!
This saves space because they are 90% smaller than one of our cells!
o they don’t have a nucleus either!
The DNA that controls all cell functions just floats within the cell
![Page 8: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cell functions
All cells are capable of performing the characteristics of life:
I can do this:
Move
Respire (breathe)
Sense stimuli
Grow
Reproduce
Excrete wastes
Need nutrients
So can all of our
cells!!!!
But how ????
We use our organs & organelles!

Ribosomes
Nickname: the factories
Function: make proteins for use in the cell/body
Located in 2 places within the cell:o floating in the cytoplasm
o attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER)

Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane channels in the cytoplasm of the cell.
There are 2 types of ER:
o Smooth ER
o Rough ER
![Page 22: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Nickname: Rough ER
Function: pieces together and transports the proteins made by the ribosomes
It is covered in ribosomes (hence why it is rough)
It can transport the proteins to other locations in the cell via vesicles (little “bubbles” of membrane)
eg. o 4 proteins are needed to make haemoglobin
o The ribosomes make the 4 proteins
o The rough ER will put the 4 pieces together into one
![Page 23: CELL STRUCTURE - St Leonard's College...Types of cells All animal, plantand fungicells are eukaryotic But there are still some differences between them Types of cells Bacterial cells](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042220/5ec6f6b9969cef45e65250e7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Nickname: Smooth ER
Function: makes and packages fats & oils
It is smooth because it is slippery from the oils !
It also uses vesicles to transport these fats to other locations in the cell.

Golgi apparatus
Nickname: the post office
Function: packages substances into vesicles for transport out of the cell
It is also a network of membrane channels
Often looks like the “wi-fi” symbol in the cell (or a bunch of bananas)

Plant cells
Also have:o A nucleus
o Cytoplasm
o A cell membrane
o Mitochondria
o Rough ER
o Smooth ER
o Golgi Apparatus
But they also have some organelles that are found only in plant cells.
