• Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells

• Eukaryotic cells are also characterized by having stuff prokaryotes don’t have:

– Membrane-bound organelles

– Cytoskeleton

– Compartmentalized function

• Components of the endomembrane system:– Nuclear envelope– Endoplasmic reticulum– Golgi apparatus– Lysosomes– Vacuoles– Plasma membrane

• These components can be bridged by vesicles

Slide 17  How do we move stuff around in eukaryotic cells?

• The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm

• It interacts with motor proteins to produce motility

• Inside the cell, vesicles can travel along “monorails” provided by the cytoskeleton

(The cytoskeleton also does other stuff: giving support to the cell, anchoring cell parts and attaching cells to their extracellular environment, among others....)

Slide 24  Ribosomes: Protein Factories

• Ribosomes are particles made of ribosomal RNA and protein

• Ribosomes carry out protein synthesis for two purposes:

– Free ribosomes make cytosolic proteins

Slide 27  Functions of the ER

The ER is a membrane factory for the cell

– Synthesizes lipids

– Synthesizes endomembrane and secreted proteins

– Puts them together in a “first draft” and makes vesicles

– It also: Metabolizes carbohydrates

Detoxifies poison

Stores calcium

Slide 31  Inward and Internal Flow

• Some types of cell can engulf another cell by phagocytosis; this forms a food vacuole

• A lysosome fuses with the food vacuole and digests the molecules

• Lysosomes also use enzymes to recycle the cell’s own organelles and macromolecules, a process called autophagy

Slide 34  Three More Important Membrane Compartments

1. Vacuoles: Diverse Maintenance Compartments

• A plant cell or fungal cell may have one or several vacuoles

• Food vacuoles are formed by phagocytosis

• Contractile vacuoles, found in many freshwater protists, pump excess water out of cells

• Central vacuoles, found in many mature plant cells, hold organic compounds and water

Slide 45  Intermediate Filaments form the Underlying Structure for the Rest of the Cytoskeleton

• Intermediate filaments are more permanent than microtubules and microfilaments

• They surround the nucleus and extend to all parts of the cell

• They provide long-term support for cell shape and fix organelles in place

• They provide tracks for moving microtubules and microfilaments around

• A second set of intermediate filaments do the same things for the inside of the nucleus

Slide 46  Microtubule-organizing centers allow “point-and-shoot” repositioning of microtubules

A. Centrosomes and Centrioles– In many cells, microtubules grow out from a

centrosome near the nucleus– In animal cells, the centrosome has a pair of

centrioles, each with nine triplets of microtubules arranged in a ring

• B. Basal Bodies– anchors cilium and flagellum

– dynein, which drives the bending movements of a cilium or flagellum

Slide 48  The Steps to Long-Distance Transport in the Cell

1. Break down the old microtubules

2. Move the centriole where you need it, “point”

3. Build new microtubules towards a new destination, “shoot”

4. Use molecular motors to send material to that destination

Slide 49  Microfilaments Have Lots of Jobs To Do(and some pretty fancy names.....)

• Actin tracks use myosin motors to move materials short distances inside the cell

• Stress fibers bear tension, resist pulling forces• The cortex just inside the plasma membrane supports the

cell’s shape• Actin bundles make up the core of microvilli

• Actin treadmills form the basis for cell migration

• Thin filaments work with myosin to contract muscle cells

• Purse strings of actin separate the daughter cells during cell division

Slide 51  Cells Use the Area Outside Their Plasma Membranes to Build Protections and Connections to Other Cells

• Most cells synthesize and secrete materials that are external to the plasma membrane

• These extracellular structures include:

– Cell walls of plants

– The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal cells

– Intercellular junctions

• Neighboring cells in tissues, organs, or organ systems often adhere, interact, and communicate through direct physical contact

• Intercellular junctions facilitate this contact

• There are several types of intercellular junctions– Plasmodesmata– Tight junctions

– Desmosomes– Gap junctions

Page 20: A Tour of the Cell · • Some types of cell can engulf another cell by phagocytosis; this forms a food vacuole • A lysosome fuses with the food vacuole and digests the molecules

Plasma membranes of adjacent cells

Tight Junctions: prevent leakageof EC fluid across epithelial cells

Desmosomes: fasten cells togetherin strong sheets

Gap Junctions: provide cytoplasmicchannels from one cell to another(similar in function to plasmodesmata)
