Types of Cells

Prokaryote Cell

Figure 3.2 Animated! Cells. Archaea are similar to bacteria in

overall structure; both are generally much smaller than eukaryotic cells.

If the two cells depicted here had been drawn to the same scale, the

bacterium would be about this big:

bacteria

Figure 3.9 A biofilm: Oral bacteria in dental

plaque. Three species of bacteria (tan, green) and a

yeast (red) stick to one another and to teeth via a

gluelike mass of shared, secreted polysaccharides

(pink). Other secretions of these organisms cause

cavities and periodontal disease.

Figure 3.10 Animated!

Common components of eukaryotic

cells. This is an animal cell.

1 A plasma membrane controls the

kinds and amounts of substances

that move into and out of a cell.

2 The nucleus contains, protects,

and controls access to DNA.

3 Ribosomes attached to rough

endoplasmic reticulum (ER) assemble

polypeptides that thread into

the ER’s interior.

4 Enzymes inside smooth ER make

lipids and break down toxins, fatty

acids, and carbohydrates.

5 Vesicles transport, store, or

digest substances.

6 Golgi bodies finish, sort, and

ship lipids and proteins.

7 Mitochondria make ATP.

8 Cytoskeletal elements provide

structural support; move cell parts

or the whole cell.

9 Centrioles produce and organize

microtubul

Top, cell junctions common in animal tissues: tight

junctions, gap junctions, and adhering junctions.

Bottom, the micrograph shows how a profusion of

tight junctions (green) seals abutting surfaces of

kidney cell membranes to form a waterproof tissue.

The DNA in each cell nucleus appears red.
