Cells Theory
All organisms are made of cells.
smallest structural unit, simplest collection of matter that can live.
independent functioning cells.
- consists of a nucleus, cytoplasm and various organelles surrounded by
selectively permeable membrane.
Cells= basic unit of life.
all living organisms are made up of one or more cells (unicellular, multicellular).
new cells are formed by the division of pre-existing cells.
cells contain genetic material of an organism which is passed from parent to
daughter cells.
all metabolic reactions takes place within the cells.
Cell structure is correlated to cellular function.
life at cellular level arises from structural order (still remember macromolecules? )

1. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
The basic structural and functional unit of every organism is one of two types of cells:
prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Pro: before ,Eu: true, Karyon: kernel which refer to the nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells- Only organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea.
Eukaryotic cells- Protists, Fungi, Animals, and Plants.
All cells have several basic features in common:
1. Bounded by a membrane-plasma membrane.
2. Enclosed in the membrane is cytoplasm.
3. Contain chromosomes which carry genes.
4. Have ribosomes- tiny complexes that make proteins according to instructions from gene.
6
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
7/107
Prokaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cells are characterized by having:
No nucleus not enclosed by nuclear membrane.
DNA in an unbound region called the nucleoid (region where the cellss DNA is
located).
as DNA is not enclosed by nuclear membrane - the DNA coils on itself to form highlycompact supercoiled structure.
the nucleoid - usually found in the center of the cell
- represents about 20% of the cells total volume.
DNA in plasmid- exists separately, contain genes to help cell to survive in different
environment.
No membrane-bound organelles- eg. Mitochondria, chloroplast.
Ribosomes- smaller and differ from those of eukaryotes, synthesize protein.
Cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane.

*The Structure of Membranes Correlates With Their Functions-
Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane controls the movement of molecules into and out of the cell,
a trait called selective permeability.
The structure of the plasma membrane with its component molecules is responsible for
this characteristic.
Plasma membranes are made of lipids, proteins, and some carbohydrate, but the most
abundant lipids are phospholipids.
Phospholipids form a two-layer sheet called a phospholipid bilayer.
Hydrophilic heads face outward, and hydrophobic tails point inward.
Thus, hydrophilic heads are exposed to water, while hydrophobic tails are shielded from
water.
Proteins are attached to the surface, and some are embedded into the phospholipid
bilayer.

The Nucleus = Cells Genetic Control Center
The nucleus contains most of the cells genes and is usually the most conspicuous
organelle.
The nuclear envelope (that separates nucleus from the cytoplasm) is a double
membrane (each membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that are separated by space of
20-40 nm ) withpores complex (diameter: 100 nm) that allow material to flow in and
out of the nucleus. It is attached to a network of cellular membranes called the endoplasmic reticulum.
Pores complex regulate the entry and exit of molecules from the nucleus.
At the lip of the each pore, the inner and the outer membrane of nuclear envelope are
continous.
The shape of the nucleus is maintained by the nuclear lamina, which is composed of protein.
Nuclear lamina lines the inner surface of the two nuclear envelope.
The nucleoplasm is the semifluid subtances in the nucleus
23
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
24/107
The nucleolus is located within the nucleus and is the site of ribosomal RNA
(rRNA) synthesis.- Synthesis of rRNA is according to instructions in the DNA.
- Proteins imported from the cytoplasm are assembled with rRNA into large and small
ribosomal subunits.
- These subunits exits nucleus via nuclear pores to the cytoplasm, where both subunits
(large and small) assembled into a functional ribosome.
The nucleus controls the cells activities and is responsible for inheritance
Inside is a complex of proteins + DNA = chromatin, which condense to makes up the
cells chromosomes chromatin appears as diffuse mass.
DNA (in chromosomes) is copied within the nucleus prior to cell division.
Act as a control centre that directs all activities of cell by regulating protein and enzymesynthesis
- Directs protein synthesis by making messenger RNA (mRNA).
- Assist production of ribosomes (rRNA)

Ribosomes Make Proteins for Use in the Cell and Export
Ribosomes are involved in the cells protein synthesis.
It is particles made of ribosomal RNA and protein.
Ribosomes are synthesized in the nucleolus, which is found in the nucleus.
Cells that must synthesize large amounts of protein have a large number of ribosomes.
eg cells that secrete digestive enzyme in pancreas
Some ribosomes are:
Free ribosomes that are suspended in the cytoplasm.
Bound ribosomes that are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated with the
nuclear envelope.
Both are structurally identical.
26
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
27/107
Ribosomes carry out protein synthesis in two locations:
In the cytosol (free ribosomes). On the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or the nuclear envelope (bound ribosomes).
Free ribosomes
proteins made by these ribosomes function within the cytosol.
eg, enzymes that catalyze the first steps of sugar breakdown.
Bound ribosomes
proteins made by these ribosomes:
1. are destined for insertion into membranes
2. for packaging within certain organelles such as lysosomes or
3. for export from the cell (secretion).
eg, cells of pancreas that secrete digestive enzymes.

31/107
3. The Endomembrane System
The endomembrane system consists of set of organelles that involved in synthesis of
proteins and their transport into membranes and organelles or out of the cell.
- One of the fundamental distinctions between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
The membranes within a eukaryotic cell are physically connected and compose the
endomembrane system.
regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell.
1. Synthesis of proteins and their transport into membranes and organelles or outof the cell.
2. Metabolism and movement of lipids.
3. Detoxification of poisons.
Components of the endomembrane system:
Nuclear envelope
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
Vacuoles
Plasma membrane (not actually an endomembrane in physical location but nevertheless
related to the endoplasmic reticulum and other internal membrane).
These components are either continuous or connected via transfer by vesicles. 31
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
32/107
The Endoplasmic Reticulum: Biosynthetic Factory
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) accounts for more than half of the total membrane in
many eukaryotic cells.
Endoplasmic: within the cytoplasm, reticulum: little net
The ER membrane is continuous with the nuclear envelope.
- It consists of a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs called cisternae.
- The ER membrane separates the internal compartment of the ER= ER lumen/ cisternal space.
There are two distinct regions of ER:
Smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes, in the form of interconnected tubes and not
flattened sac. Rough ER, with ribosomes studding its surface.
Both smooth ER and rough ER:
They differ in structure and function.
However, they are connected. 32

Functions of Smooth ER The smooth ER:
Synthesizes lipids
- has enzymes in smooth ER for the synthesize of lipids including oils, phospholipids and steroid.
Metabolizes carbohydrates
- certain enzymes in smooth ER in the liver help regulate the amount of sugar released from livercells into the bloodstream.
Detoxifies drugs and poisons
- enzymes in the smooth ER help detoxify drugs and poisons especially in theliver cells.
- detoxification involves adding hydroxyl groups to drug molecules, making them more soluble and
easier to flush out from the body.
-eg alcohols, sedative phenobarbital and other barbiturates are examples of drugs metabolized in
this manner by smooth ER and its associated detoxification enzymes.
Stores calcium
- due to specialised form of smooth ER known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum, it is the site ofstorage and release of calsium ions in muscle cells important in contraction of the cell & cell
signalling. 34
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
35/107
Functions of Rough ER
The rough ER:
1. Has bound ribosomes, synthesize protein.
-as polypeptide chain grows from a bound ribosome, it is threaded into the ER
lumen through a pore.
- in the ER lumen, the new protein (now known as secretory protein) folds into
its native shape and is stored there temporarily.
- a short carbohydrate chain (an oligosaccharide) is added to the proteinconverting it to glycoproteins.

36/107
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
37/107
Functions of Rough ER
Rough ER:
3. Is a membrane factory for the cell
- some of the proteins made by the ER ribosomes are inserted into the ER
membrane.
- it grows in place by adding membrane proteins (anchored there by its
hydrophobic portion) and phospholipids to its own membrane.
- as a result, the ER membrane enlarges and some of it can be transferred to
other organelles as well as the plasma membrane through transport vesicles.

Functions of the Golgi apparatus:
Modifies products of the ER.
- Products travel in transport vesicles from the ER to Golgi apparatus.
- Products are modified as they go from cis face of the Golgi apparatus to the trans faceand travel in vesicles to other sites.
Golgi apparatus receives vesicles from ER. Vesicles that has glycoprotein shall be
modify by various enzyme in Golgi by modifying carbohydrate portion of
glycoprotein.
Manufactures certain macromolecules by itself.- Like secretory proteins, non protein Golgi products that will be secreted depart from the
trans face of the Golgi (inside transport vesicles) will fuse with the plasma membrane.
- Eg: Many polysaccharides secreted by cells are Golgi products (such as pectin in plant)
Sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles.- Before a Golgi stack dispatches its products by budding vesicles from the trans face,
molecular identification tags (eg, phosphate groups) are added to the Golgi products.
- Finally, transport vesicles budded from the Golgi have external molecules on their
membranes which recognized docking sites (on the plasma membrane), thus targetting
the vesicles destination (to plasma membrane or to cytosol) appropriately.

Lysosomes: Digestive Compartments
Lysosomes are digestive compartments within a cell.
Under the electron microscope, lysosomes appearas dark spherical bodies in thecytoplasm.
- Diameters are smaller than mitochondria.
A membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that can digest macromolecules.
The fluid within the lysosome is highly acidic. It contain enzymes that work best in acidicenvironment. What happen if this enzyme leaks to cytosol? Think!!!!!!
The enzymes and membrane of lysosomes are produced by the ER and transferred to the
Golgi apparatus for further processing.
The Golgi apparatus chemically refines the enzymes and releases mature lysosomes to
cytosol.
The membrane of lysosomes safely isolate these potent enzymes from the rest of the cell.it has a single membrane that can prevent leakage of enzymes and able to resist digestion.
illustrate the main theme of the eukaryotic cell structure:compartmentalisation
this is important as excessive leakage of enzyme from a number of lysosomes can lead to
the autodigestion of the cell. However autodigestion is essential during embryonic
development.
42
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
43/107
Main function (IMPORTANT !!!!)
- the lysosomes enzymes involves in
i. hydrolyzing macromolecules (food).
ii.breaking down the pathogens (defense system), eg bacteria.
iii. breaking down worn-out/damaged organelles.
- i and ii - via phagocytosisby forming a food vacuole.- a lysosome fuses with the food vacuole and digests the molecules.
- iii via autophagy : Recycle the cells own organelles, thus helping cell to continually renews itself.
The damaged organelle is first enclosed in a double membrane (vesicle).

Vacuoles: Diverse Maintenance Compartments Vacuoles are membranous sacs that are found in a variety of cells and possess an
assortment of functions. It is bounded by single membrane.- eg vacuoles: central vacuole, contractile vacuole and food vacuole.
Central Vacoule
A plant cell or fungal cell lack lysosomes. Thus, they have central vacuole.
- Single membrane that surrounds the vacuole is called the tonoplast. The fluid within the vacuoleis called cell sap.
- Central vacuole carry out hydrolysis (like lysosome), however they play other roles as well.
- The other roles:
= Hold important organic compounds, eg proteins stockpiled in the vacuoles of storage
cells in seeds.
= Main repository inorganic ions, eg pottasium, sodium.
= Disposal sites for metabolic by product that would endangered in the cell if they
accumulated in cytosol. Eg, Tannin.
= Colour the cell because they hold pigment.
= Protect the plant against predators by containing compound that are poisonous or
unpalatable to animals .
45
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
46/107
Tonoplast
- Semipermeable membrane.
- Actively transport of certain ions into the vacuole.-As vacuole contain hydrolytic enzyme too, the tonoplast just like other
membranes will lose its semipermeability after cell death and release enzymes
from the vacoule, causing autolysis of the cell.
Cell sap- is a concentrated solution of mineral salts, sugars, amino acid, wastes (tannin)
and pigments (eg to provide color to flowers).
- generally hypertonic relative to the external medium. This helps plants to absorb
water from its environment by osmosis.

Peroxisomes: Oxidation
A specialized metabolic compartments bounded by a single membrane.
It is not part of the endomembrane system but involved in various metabolic
functions.
Peroxisomes do not bud from the endomembrane system. It grow larger by:
1. Incorporating proteins made primarily in the cytosol
2. Lipids made in the ER, and
3. Lipids synthesized within the peroxisome itself.
Peroxisomes may increase in number by splitting in two when they reach a certainsize.
50
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf

Peroxisomes involvement in Various Metabolic Functions.
To detoxify alcohol and other harmful substances (eg Hydrogen),
peroxisomes produce hydrogen peroxide and convert it to water.
How?
- enzyme in peroxisomes transferhydrogen from various substrates to oxygen,
producing hydrogen peroxide.
- the hydrogen peroxide is toxic but the organelle also has an enzyme that
converts hydrogen peroxide to water.
Some peroxisomes use oxygen to break down different types of molecules.
- eg, fatty acids are break down into smaller molecules that can be transportedto mitochondria to be used as fuel in cellular respiration.

Review Relationships Among Organelles of the Endomembrane
1. Nuclear envelope is connected to rough ER, which is also continous with smooth ER.
2. Membranes and proteins produced by the ER flow in the form of transport vesicles to the
Golgi.
3. Golgi pinches off transport vesicles and other vesicles that give rise to lysosomes, (other
types of specialized vesicles).
4. Lysosome is available for fusion with another vesicle for digestion.
5. Transport vesicle carries proteins to plasma membrane for secretion.
6. Plasma membrane expands by fusion of vesicles; proteins are secreted from cell.

Chloroplasts: Capture of Light Energy
Plastids are a group of large organelles found in the cytoplasm of all plants but
not in animal cells.
Divided to 3 categories; chloroplasts, chromoplasts and leucoplasts.
Type of Plastids Descriptions
Chloroplasts Green coloured plastids, play role in photosynthesis.
Chromoplasts Coloured plastids rich in pigment (eg carotenoid) that
give fruits, flowers and leaves their orange, red and
yellow colours.
Leucoplasts Non coloured plastids such as amyloplasts stored starch
in root and tuber, elaioplast stored oil, aleuroplasts stored
protein.

Chloroplasts are found in leaves and other green organs of plants and in
algae.
Chloroplast structure includes:
1.Size: bigger than mitochondrion (measuring about 2 m and 5 m).
2.Shape: bioconvex disc.

Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton:
- a network of fibers that organizes structures and activities in the cell,
anchoring many organelles.
- (refer to Fig 4.4A, pg 56, Biology. Look at GA, Rough ER and Plasma
membrane, can you identify cytoskeleton?).
- a network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm.
The cytoskeleton is composed of three kinds of fibers
1. Microtubulesare the thickest of the three components of the
cytoskeleton
2. Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are the thinnest components
3. I ntermediate fi lamentsare fibers with diameters in a middle range

75/107
Four Roles of the Cytoskeleton in Support, Motility, and
Regulation
1. The cytoskeleton helps to support the cell and maintain its shape.
-important to animal cells that lack cell walls.
-provides anchorage for many organelles and even cytosolic enzyme
molecules.
-cytoskeleton more dynamic to an animal skeletoncanbe quickly dismantled in one part of the cell and reassembled in a
new location, thus changing the shape of the cell. Eg: actin filaments that
responsible for amoeboid movement.
75
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
76/107
2. It interacts with motor proteins to produce motility.
- with motor protein, the whole cells moves along fibers outside the cell.
-eg, motor proteins bring about the bending of cilia and flagella by
gripping microtubules within those organelles and sliding them against each
other.
3. Regulating biochemical activities in the cell in response to mechanicalstimulation.
- eg, if plasma membrane proteins that attached to the cytoskeleton were
pull, there were instantaneous rearrangements of nucleolus and other
structures in the nucleus.
76
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
77/107
4. Inside the cell, vesicles can travel along monorails provided by the
cytoskeleton.
- eg, vesicles that bud off from the ER travel to the Golgi along cytoskeletaltrack.

1. Microtubules
Microtubules are hollow rods about 25 nm in diameter and about 200 nm to
25 m long.
Two types of microtubules
- Centrosome and centrioles.
- Cilia and flagella.
Constructed from a globular protein called tubulin.
- A tubulin dimer consists of-tubulin and -tubulin.
- It grow in length by adding tubulin dimers.
Functions of microtubules:
Shaping and support the cell. Motility. Eg; Flagella and cilia.
Guiding movement of organelles- serve as tracks (which organelles equipped with
motor proteins can move). Eg vesicles move from GA to plasma membrane with the
help of microtubule.
Separating chromosomes during cell division thru centrioles. 78

Centrosomes and Centrioles
The centrosome is a microtubule-organizing center.
In many cells, microtubules grow out from a centrosome near the nucleus.
Function as compression-resisting girders of the cytoskeleton.
In animal cells, the centrosome has a pair ofcentrioles, each with nine triplets
of microtubules arranged in a ring.

Cilia and Flagella
Microtubules control the beating ofcilia and flagella, locomotors appendages
of some cells.
The length and quantity of these microtubules are differ.
- Cilia: occur in large number, about 0.25 m in diameter and about 2-20 m long.
- Flagella: limited to just one or a few per cell, same diameter like cilia but longer,about 10-200 m.
Cilia and flagella differ in their beating patterns.
- Cilia: Back and forth motion. The rapid power stroke moves the cell in a direction
perpendicular to the axis of the cilium. Then during the slower recovery stroke, thecilium bends and sweeps sideways, closer to the surface.
- Flagella: Undulating motion that generates force in the same directions as theflagellums axis. Its snakelike motion driving a cell in the same direction as the axis of
the flagellum.

An arrangement of 9+2pattern .
- Nine doublets of microtubules, the member of each pair sharing part of their
walls are arranged in ring.
- In the center of the ring are two single microtubules.
A basal body that anchors the cilium or flagellum with the arrangement of 9+0
pattern.
- Composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules arranged in ring (just like
centrioles.
A motor protein called dynein, which drives the bending movements of a cilium
or flagellum.
- The movements caused by changes in the shape of the protein with ATP
providing the energy for these changes.

2. Microfilaments (Actin Filaments)
Microfilaments are solid rods about 7 nm in diameter, built as a twisted
double chain ofactin (globular protein) subunits.
The structural role of microfilaments is to bear tension (resisting pulling forces
within the cell).
They form a 3-D network just inside the plasma membrane to help support thecells shape. This network gives the outer cytoplasmic layer of a cell, called the
cortex (semisolid consistency of gel) .

Microfilaments and Motility
1 .Microfilaments are well known in cell
motility, as part of the contractile
apparatus of the muscle cells andcontain the protein myosin (muscle
contraction)
- Thousands of actin filaments are
arranged parallel to one another along the
length of a muscle cell, interdigitated with
thicker filaments made of protein myosin.
- Myosin acts as a microfilament-based
motor protein.
- Contraction of the muscle cell results
from the actin and myosin filaments
sliding past one another in this way,shortening the cell.
90
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
91/107
2. Localized contraction brought about by
actin and myosin also drives amoeboid
movement. (changes in cell shapes and cell
motility)
- Pseudopodia (cellular extensions) extend
and contract through the reversible
assembly and contraction of actin subunits
into microfilaments.
3. Cytoplasmic streaming is a circular flow
of cytoplasm within cells.
- This streaming speeds distribution of
materials within the cell
- In plant cells, actin-myosin interactionsand sol-gel transformations drive
cytoplasmic streaming
91
3 Intermediate Filaments
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
92/107
3. Intermediate Filaments
Intermediate filaments range in diameter from 812 nanometers, larger than
microfilaments but smaller than microtubules.
Intermediate filaments are more permanent cytoskeleton fixtures than the
other two classes.
- even after cells die, intermediate filament networks often persist.
They support cell shape and fixing the position of certain organelles in
place.
- eg, the nucleus commonly sits within a cage made of intermediate filaments, fixed in
location by branches of the filaments that extend into the cytoplasm.
- eg, nuclear lamina that lines the interior of the nuclear envelope are made from
intermediate filaments.

Cell Walls of Plants
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
95/107
Cell Walls of Plants
The cell wall is an extracellular structure that distinguishes plant cells from
animal cells. Prokaryotes, fungi, and some protists also have cell walls.
The cell wall protects the plant cell, maintains its shape, and prevents excessive
uptake of water.
Plant cell walls are made of cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharidesand protein.
- cellulose fibers are synthesized by an enzyme called cellulose synthase and secreted to the
extracellular space (embedded in other polysaccharides and protein.)
95
8/10/2019 2. CELLS.pdf
96/107
Plant cell walls have multiple layers:
Primary cell wall: relatively thin and flexible.
- This is the wall that been secreted first in young tree.
Middle lamella: thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells.
- A thin layer rich in sticky polysaccharides called pectins.
- With pectin, middle lamella glues adjacent cells together.
Secondary cell wall (in some cells): added between the plasma membrane
and the primary cell wall.
- When cell matures and stop growing, its strengthens its walls by secreting
hardening substances into the primary wall.
- Other cell added a secondary cell wall. It is deposited in several laminated layers.
- The wall is strong and durable matrix that affords the cell protection and support.

g , , p
Cells At tight junctions, membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together,
preventing leakage of extracellular fluid.- eg, Tight junctions between skin cells make us watertight by preventing leakage
between cells in our sweat gland.
Desmosomes (anchoring junctions) fasten cells together into strong sheets. At
desmosomes, the intermediate filaments anchor desmosomes in the cytoplasm.- eg, Desmosomes attach muscle cells to each other in a muscle.
Gap junctions (communicating junctions) provide cytoplasmic channels
between adjacent cells and neccesary for communication between cells in
many types of tissues.
- The function is similar to the plasmodesmata.
- The junctions consist of membrane proteins that surround a pore where ions, sugars,
amino acids and small molecules may pass.
