1., , Cell Its structure and functions, -, , Introduction: All organisms are made up of cells. Cell is the structural and functional unit of, organisms. Each and every part of the organism is made up of cells. All metabolic activities are carried, out at cell level. That is why cell is called as structural and functional unit of organisms. Cclls arc in, different sizes and shapes. Thcir size and shape depends up on their functions. Onion cells are, rectangular,check cells are circular and bonc cells are in star shape. The nerve cells are about 100, centimcters long and the cgg of ostrich is round and has 18 centimeters diametre., Uni cellular and Multi cellular Organisms: The oraganisms which have one cell in their body are, called uni cellular organisms. Ex: Amoeba, paramoecium. The organisms which have number of cells, are called multi cellular organisms. Ex: mammals, Aves, Pisces etc.., Cell organelles: The smal structures which are present in the cell are called cell organelles. Ex:, nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, ribosomes, Iysosomes, endo plasimic reticulum, golgi apprutus,, vacuoles., , Typical cell: All the cell organelles are not exsist in every cell but to study its complete structure and, fuctions we designed a cell with all cell organelles is called typical cell., Typical Plant cell and Animal cell:, Mitochondria, , Endpl>snatctulum, Nucl, , Mitxhonuns, , Nuecicus, , ntrane, flgi, , or7a ata, , cdaal, hloroplast, , (iolgapruranus, , Ekplasmicreticulhoa, , Ti2, , Pasn:cnt, iy-, , brle ul Plant, , Tiyicol uiul, , Pavranrtnne, celt, , cell, , Plant cells have a thick cell wall, large vacuoles and number of plastids. But animal cells have none of, these. Animal cells have Centrioles but plant cells have no Centrioles always., Cell membrane/Plasma membrane: The cell membrane is the outer most of the cell. It is called as, It, plasma membrane. We can observe this structure only through an electron micro scope. is flexible, It, It, cell., the, size, the cytoplasm, and, encloses, of, and is made up of lipids and proteins. defines the shape, a, cell, a, has, very specilic, and protects from the external environnent. The interval environnment of, composition of various substances which maintain a balance. The cell membrane maintains this, it, it, balance. The exchange of substances occurs through cell membrane and is very selective. Hence is, known as selective permeable membrane., Pim, Observing the Cell membranc/plasma membrane (activity):, n.mbrue, Aim: Observing the cell membrane, Apparatus: Rheo leaf, slide, cover slip, microscope, salt waler., Procedure:, Slunwka, 1.

Cell wall: lt is a unique feature of plant ecll. In plant cells there is any extra layer outside the cell, membrane is called as cell wall. It is mainly made up of cellulose. It is tough but flexible porous layer, It involves in continues exchange, of infomation from one cell to other cells. It exerts an inward wal, pressure to resist the outward pressure., , Nucleus: It was discovered by 1Robert Brown in the yenr 1831., Schleiden one the proponents of cell theory called it as cytoblast, It is the largest and inmportant, cell organelle. It regulates and, controls all eell finctions and detenines the charncteristics, of the organism. It consists of genctic infomnation., lt is called as the cel's control room. It involves in cell, division., Nuclear membrane encloses the nucleus and is very similar, to the cell membranc., , Ciemetic, , Materiat, , Nuclear, , nembrang, , Nclert, Nuclear, pore, , Nucle, , Tig-, , Plasm, , Nurle n, , Prokaryotic eells-Eukaryotic cells: The cells which have well defined nucleus with a membrane are, called cukaryotic cells. Ex: all plant and aninmal eells. The cells that do not have, membrane are called prokaryotie eells. Ex: bacteria., , a, , nucleus, , Witlh, , Observing the Nucleus (lab activity):, , Aim: To observe the nucleus in check cells., Material: Tooth pic/ice cream spoon/ spatula, slide, cover slip. watch glass. needle, blotting paper, o, Methylene blue. normal saline, glycerine, microscope., , Procedure:, 1., , Wash, , hands and scrape the intcrnal lining of the check with ice cream spoon., 2. Place the scrape in a watch glass containing a, very small quantity if normal saline., 3. Then place the material on a glass slide., 4. Put a drop of Methylene blue and wait for couple, of minutes., Wipe off the extra stain with a blotting paper., Put a drop of glycerine over it., 7. Place a cover slip and press it gently., 5., , 6., , Precautions:, 1. Do not scrape the cheek too hard., 2. Scrapped material should be spread uniformly on the slide., 3. Excess stains should be drained off., 4. There should be no air bubbles under the cover slip., , Observations:, , ., , The cells are almost in round shape., 2. We can observe the round dot like structures at the centre of the cell is nucleus., 3. These cells are not similar to the structure of Onion peel cells., Protoplasm Vs Cytoplasm: Protoplasm is the fluid stored inside the cell. For a long a time, it was, believed that the life was stored in this Nluid. Hence it was named as protoplasm which means life, fluid. But when it became clear that the life is not resided in this fluid and it is resided in all organelles., the protoplasm is renamed as cytoplasm. So protoplasm is the fluid content bounded by plasma, membrane. Cytoplasm is basically a medium in which cell organelles float around. The functions of, the cell actually take place in these cell organelles. The fluid inside the nueleus which is surrounded by, nuclear membrane is called as Nuclear fluid or Nucleoplasm. Nucleoplasm is different trom, cytoplasm. Nucleoplasm consists of genetic material., , Mitochondria: Mitochondria are small, cylindrical organelles. They are about 100-150 in cach cell. It, has 2 membranes. The luid filled portion surrounded by inner membrane is called matris. The inner, membrane protrudes into the matrix and forms many folds like structures called cristae. Mitochondra, perforn cellular respiration and produce energy. Because of this Mitochondria are called as power, house of the ecll., TSN (9491720974), , 1. Cell its, , structure and functions

They are mainly 3 types., They are 1. Chromoplasts (coloured). 2. Chloroplasts, Outcr Merchra, (green colour0. 3. Leucoplasts (colour less). Chloroplasts are of, different shapes like disc. oval etc. In Algac they are in the shape, of ladders. stars and spirals or reticulate. The primary function of, chloroplasts is trap sun light and transform to chemical energy, Ene Mem.keane, in the process of photosynthesis. 50-200 chloroplasts are, present in each leaf cells of plant. Chloroplasts contain grecn, substance called chlorophyll., , Gnum, , Lunn, , Thylakmd, , Fig-9tc, , Observation of chloroplasts in Rheo leaf (activity):, Aim: Observation of chloroplasts in rheo leaf., Apparatus: Slide. microscope, rheo leaf., Procedure:, 1.

Collect some algae from pond and separate the thin filaments,, 2. Place few thin filaments on slide and observe them on microscope., Observations: We can observe small green granules called chloroplasts., , Ribosomes: These are granule like structures present in the cytoplasm of the cell. These are made up, of RNA(Ribo Nucleie Acid) and protcins. These are 2 types. Free Ribosomes are scattered in, cytoplasm. attached Ribosomes are on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Ribosomes, synthesis proteins., network of membranes present, throughout the cytoplasm. It ereates passages within the eytoplasm., Rug, This network of membranes is known as the endoplasmie reticulum., ER is similar to the structure of plasma membrane. ER may have, Ribisomes on their surlace and they are called Rough Endoplasmic, Reticulum (RER). Some do not have Ribisomes on them are called, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER). RER manufactures proteins, and SER manufactures lipids (fats). The function of ER is transport of, materials especially proteins between eytoplasm to ucleus. lis frame, work providing a surface for some chemical activities. In Vertibrates, liver cells.

Observe it under microscope., , Observations:, I. The large empty spaces are appeared in the cells are Vacuoles., These are fluid filled sac like structures., , 2., , Cell theory: In 1665 Robert Hooke observed little room like structures in oak tree cork. ie named, this structure as cell. In 1838-39, two scientists Schleiden (botanist) and Schwann (zoologist), formulated the cell theory. But the theory cannot explain how the new cells are formed. In !855, Rudolf Carl Virchow first explained that the new cells are formed by the division of the pre- existing, cells. Then the theory was modified as1. All living organisms are composed of cells and their products., 2.
