only University-sanctioned excuses will be accepted5Course Information• Laboratory: start July 12– Manual: On Blackboard– Notebook required for data collection and final grade– Attendance/late policy: see syllabus–Schedule and assignments: see syllabus6History of Cell Biology7History of Cell Biology• Parallels development of microscope• First microscopes developed in 1595 - Janssen• 1665: Robert Hooke firstto look at a “cell”– Looked at cork (non-living plant tissue)– Named structures “cells”• 1670-80s: Anton van Leeuwenhoek– Protozoa, bacteria, muscle fibers, blood flow817ththrough 19thCenturies• by mid-19thcentury, microscopes improved• 1838-1855: Cell theory formulated– Matthia Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow: German biologists– at the time a revolutionary idea– today basic theme in all areas of biology9Cell Theory• all living organisms are composed of one or more cells• the cell is the functional unit of life (capable of maintaining independent existence)• all cells arise from pre-existing cells10Other Advances in Microscopy• 1833: Nucleus described by Robert Brown• 1857: Mitochondria described in muscle cells by Rudolf Kolliker• 1879: Chromosomes described in mitosis• 1898: Camillo Golgi apparatus described using silver nitrate stain• 1931 Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll build first transmission electron microscope• 1965 First commercial scanning electron microscope11Cell Biology Today• merges three areas:• microscopy: study of cell structure and ultrastructure with light and electron microscopes• biochemistry: study of the chemical structure and reactions of living organisms• genetics: study of inheritance and how traits are expressed in cells12Cell Types• two basic types of cells– prokaryotic cells• “primitive” cells• lack an organized nucleus• lack membrane-bound organelles– eukaryotic cells• advanced cell types• true nucleus• many membrane-bound organelles13Universal Cell Characteristics• most basic property: life• store hereditary information– DNA– identical code in all cells– information decoded by RNA– information translated into protein• proteins synthesized by ribosomes14Universal Cell Characteristics• acquisition and use of energy– maintain internal environment (homeostasis)– drive synthesis of components– chemical reactions– mechanical activities• self-regulating• capable of reproduction• all cells evolve15Cell Diversity• genomic– diversity of habitat– genome reflects environment• energy sources– phototrophs: bacteria, algae, plants; responsible for atmosphere– organotrophs: animals, fungi, symbiotic bacteria– lithotrophs: extremeophiles• aerobic vs. anaerobic• Nitrogen, Carbon fixation16Prokaryotic Cells• include archaea (archaebacteria) and bacteria (eubacteria) • no nucleus• no membrane-bound organelles• small size– 1-2 micrometers (µm)17Structure of Prokaryotic Cells• cell wall– may have capsule– may have flagella– may have pili• plasma membrane• cytosol• cytoplasm with ribosomes• bacterial chromosome• some internal membranes18Bacterial Morphology19Archaebacteria• many exist in “extreme” environments– methane producers– halophiles– acidophiles– thermophiles• diverged from eubacteria early in the evolution of life• more closely related to eukaryotes20Eukaryotic Cells• true membrane-bound nucleus• compartmentalized with membrane-bound organelles• typically 10-20 µm in size or larger• amazing diversity in form21Eukaryotic Cells22“Typical” Animal Cell23Animal Cell• Plasma membrane – regulates passage of materials into and out of cell• Nucleus – control center of cell, directs protein synthesis and cell reproduction• Nucleolus – ribosome formation• Ribosomes – protein synthesis• Endoplasmic reticulum – transport and synthesis of proteins (rough ER)24Animal Cell• Golgi apparatus – processing and packaging of proteins, secretion• Mitochondrion – cellular respiration• Lysosomes – intracellular digestion• Cytoskeleton – cell support and shape– Microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments25“Typical” Plant Cell26Plant Cell• Cell wall – support and protection• Plasma membrane – regulates passage of materials into and out of cell• Nucleus – control center of cell, directs protein synthesis and cell reproduction• Nucleolus – ribosome formation• Endoplasmic reticulum – Transport and synthesis of proteins (rough ER)27Plant Cell• Golgi apparatus – processing and packaging of proteins, secretion• Mitochondrion – cellular respiration• Chloroplast – photosynthesis• Central vacuole – storage of various substances• Lysosomes – intracellular digestion• Cytoskeleton – cell support and shape28Model Organisms• Bacteria– Escherichia coli• Cell Culture System– HeLa
