Lesson
Cell Structure and Function
1
Roles to Rules; Structure to function

All of the life processes of a living cell involve transformation of energy

and matter. The source of this life energy is the molecules undergoing
chemical activities within the cell. A living cell performs the following life
processes:
1. Nutrition is the process by which cells obtain food molecules to
support their other activities.
2. Digestion is the process by which food particles are broken down into
smaller soluble units suitable for cell use with the help of enzymes.
3. Absorption is the process by which cells absorb water, minerals and
other materials essential to life from their environment.
4. Biosynthesis is the process by which all cells organize complex
chemicals from simple building units or substances.
5. Excretion is the process by which by-products of all cell activities
which are not needed for further cell functioning are eliminated.
6. Egestion is the process by which insoluble, non-digested particles
are eliminated by the cell.
7. Secretion is the process by which substances that are synthesized
by the cells are expelled from the membrane. This elimination process helps
in the functioning of the body.
8. Movement is a process which includes the locomotion of cell by
means of special structures like cilia or flagella.
9. Irritability is the process by which cells respond or react to external
factors or conditions around them. Cells can alter their functions in response
to changes their environment.
10. Respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules into
chemical energy needed by all cells in order to function.
11. Reproduction is a process by which a cell copies or replicates its
DNA and increases its number by cell division. It gives rise to new cells as a
result, organisms grow.

Note that all these life processes are made possible through the
organelles working together as a team. Lets’ find out below what these
organelles are.

What’s New

Together Everybody Achieves More!!

All the cellular organelles are functioning well in order to support life. There is no least
or more important part because all are equally essential. Everybody will suffer even if one
organelle fails to perform its function.
It’s like you and me, we have different roles but all roles are needed to keep life
possible. Much like in your family, each member need each other in order to survive, you
need your parents much as your parents needs you. The parts and function of the cell is like
a TEAM.

Bible Connection!
<Luke 11:17
<Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided
against itself will fall=

Home Connection!
In our family, our parents are the nucleus and in order to keep the
family intact, children must obey their parents and do the task required
to them and that is to study hard and in doing that harmonious
relationship within the family will happen.

Let’s check the details of the cellular parts and function below:

What is It

The principal parts of a cell are:

1. Cell membrane
2. Cytoplasm
3. Nucleus
The nucleus is covered with a
membrane that allows materials to
pass in and out. It’s often called the
<control center= of the cell because it
contains DNA. The nucleolus is where
the ribosomes are formed and this
structure can be found both in plants
and animals.

 lOMoARcPSD|44594353

The cell membrane is a semi-permeable

membrane that facilitate the movement of
molecules inside and outside the plant or
animal cell. It allows only chosen substances
to enter or leave cell which can protect the
cell from harmful substances.

The cell membrane is often pictured as fluid

mosaic model. Fluidity becomes its
characteristic because its molecules are
constantly moving. The phospholipid
molecules move sideways within the
membrane. Since the plasma membrane is
fluid, it can seal itself if it is damaged or
broken.

The cytoplasm is a viscous

fluid or jelly like material
where organelles are
embedded. Its jelly like
feature secures the
organelles in plants and
animals so that they remain
in place.

 lOMoARcPSD|44594353

The Mitochondria are called the

<powerhouses= of cells. They produce
much of the energy a plant or animal cell
needs to carry out its functions. They are
the centers of cellular respiration, a
process in which energy-rich ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate) that functions
in energy storage and transfer is
produced.

A vacuole is the storage area of the

cell. Vacuoles store water, food, and
waste. Animals have a very small
vacuole while plants as the producers
through the process of photosynthesis
have a big central vacuole.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is

a series of tunnels throughout the
cytoplasm.
They transport proteins from one
part of the cell to another that is why
they are called as the transport
center of the cell.
E.R in plants and animals
form a network of tiny canals
through the cell. These canals are formed by two parallel membranes. They
connect the nuclear membrane and the plasma membrane thus serving as
passageway for food substances.
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Smooth- ribosome free and functions in detoxification of lipids.
Rough - contains ribosomes and releases newly made protein from the cell.
Ribosomes are the protein factories of the
cell. These are very essential since all the
functions and processes in plant and
animal cell requires protein. Even all the
organelles inside the cell are made up of
proteins making ribosomes very important.

12

 lOMoARcPSD|44594353

Golgi bodies receive proteins and other

compounds from the ER. They package
these materials and distribute them to the
plant and animal parts of the cell.

Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that

can break things down. Lysosomes pick up
bacteria, food, and old organelles in plant and
animal cell and break them into small pieces
that can be reused.

The cytoskeleton is a series of fibers made

from proteins. It provides structure to the cell
and gives it its shape.
Components of cytoskeleton
• Microtubules- absent in plant cell, it provide
pathways for certain cellular molecules to
move about just as tracks are provided for
railroad cars or trains. It is also found in
structures like the cilia and flagella which
both aid in movement. For examples, the cells that line your windpipe use
cilia to sweep foreign materials from the lungs. Sperm cells use flagella to
move. It is also involve in cell division as a mitotic spindle.
Intermediate filaments- these are absent in plants. Since they are the most
stable component of the cytoskeleton, they are found in durable structures
such as hair, scales and fingernails. They also help provide structure to the
nuclear envelope.
Microfilaments- pipe-like structures and help provide shape and movement
for the cells. Examples of microfilaments are found in muscle cells.

Cell wall is a rigid organelle composed of

cellulose that gives plant cell its box-like
shape. The cell wall consist of several
distinct layers. The primary cell wall is the
outer layer, it expands as the cell grows.
As the plant reaches its full size, a
secondary cell wall develops inside the
primary cell wall. This new layer adds
strength to the wall. Two primary cell walls
of adjacent cells are separated by another
layer, the middle lamella which is
composed of a jelly like polysaccharide

13

Downloaded by Kristine Annie De Roxas ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|44594353

called pectin. Both the primary and

secondary walls are composed mainly of
polysaccharide cellulose which is
commercially important as the main
component of paper and cotton. Aside for
cellulose, the secondary walls usually
contain lignin, a complex organic compound
that adds hardness and rigidity to cell walls.
Plastids are double membrane bound
organelles found in plants. It is basically the
storage of their pigments. Types of Plastids
include the Leucoplasts which are colorless organelles that store starch and
Chromoplasts which contain colored pigments like chloroplast.

Centrioles are paired organelles found

only in animal cell. They are located
together near the nucleus, at right
angles to each other. They are essential
in building cilia and flagella and also as
spindle fiber during cell division.

School as an Analogy for Cell Structure and Function

The parts of the school are like the parts of the cell, keep reading and see how
their functions are almost the same!

Security guard- cell membrane because the guard chooses who can
enter or leave the school, only those with student I.D can enter.
School perimeter- cytoplasm because it is where all the parts and
processes of the school can be found
Principal- nucleus because the principal is the person in authority
inside the school especially in terms of management and decision making.
DepEd- nucleolus because they are the ones responsible for hiring and
producing teachers like how nucleolus produces the ribosomes.
Teachers- Ribosomes because they are the ones active in making the
students the best person that they can be.
Classrooms- Golgi Body because it is where the students are taught
and package physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
Canteen- Mitochondria because the food served in the canteen gives
energy to the students and teachers.
Janitor/Maintenance Team-Lysosome because lie lysosome they get
rid of trashes by cleaning the school premises.
Hallways and corridor- endoplasmic reticulum because they are the
passageway that could be used to transport services, materials and processes
involve in the teaching and learning process.
Cabinets- Vacuole because it stores books, papers and other stocks
needed by the school

Reflective Reading and Writing

Direction: Read the poem below and make a 10 sentences reflection on how
the message of this poem is related to the concepts that you have learned.
Be the Best of Whatever You Are
by: Douglas Malloch

If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill.

Be a scrub in the valley- but be
The best little scrub at the side of the hill;
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.
If you can’t be a bush, be a bit of the green,
Some highway to happier make,
If you can’t be a Muskie, then just be a bass4
But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can’t all be captains; we’ve got to be crew.
There’s something for all of us here;
There’s a big work to do, and there’s lesser to do,
And the task we must do is near.
If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can’t be the sun, be a star;
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail4
Be the best of whatever you are.
