INTRODUCTION
“CELL IS THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL UNIT
OF AN ORGANISM”.
CELL WAS FIRST DISCOVERED BY ROBERT HOOKE IN
1665.
LIVING ORGANISMS MAY BE UNICELLULAR OR
MULTICELLULAR.
UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS ARE SINGLE CELLED
ORGANISMS AND MICROSCOPIC.
MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS CONTAIN DIFFERENT TYPE
OF CELLS .
Types of cells
PROKARYOTIC: these cells are
characterised by the absence of nuclear
membrane,nucleus,nucleolus and
membrane bound organelles
It is a
qualsified,elastic,thin,pliable,hydrophobic
barrier around the cell.
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
NUCLEOPLASM
NUCLEAR MATRIX
CHROMATIN
NUCLEOLUS
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
Which organelles do
lysosomes work with?
Mitochondria
“Powerhouse of the
cell”
Cellular respiration
occurs here to release
energy for the cell to
use
Bound by a double
membrane
Has its own strand of
DNA
Chloroplast
Found only in plant
cells
Contains the green
pigment chlorophyll
Site of food (glucose)
production
Bound by a double
membrane
Cell Wall
Found in plant and
bacterial cells
Rigid, protective
barrier
Located outside of the
cell membrane
Made of cellulose
(fiber)
Vacuoles
Large central vacuole
usually in plant cells
Many smaller
vacuoles in animal
cells
Storage container for
water, food, enzymes,
wastes, pigments, etc.
What type of microscope may have
been used to take this picture?
Centriole
Aids in cell division
Usually found only in
animal cells
Made of microtubules
