2. Introduction to Cells
- There are 2 types of cells in the world: eukaryotic
cells and prokaryotic cells.
- I studied about eukaryotic cells, human cells in
particular.
- There roughly are 3 trillion cells in the average
adult.
3. The Central Ideas
- My Central Idea: Cells have many parts
with structures that interact with processes to
sustain life in organisms.

9. The Nucleus and The DNA
-The nucleus holds the DNA.
-The nucleus is protected by a double bi lipid layer.
-The DNA in the nucleus of your cell is made of
phospholipid groups, adenine, thymine, cytosine,
and guanine.
12. The Cellular Membrane
- The cellular membranes in your cells are
composed of a phospholipid bilayer each.
- The membrane is semipermeable.
- The membranes of the nucleus have tunnels of
protein that the mRNA goes to the ribosome
through.
13. The Cellular Membrane #2
- The Cellular membranes have particular
proteins embedded into it.
15. The Ribosomes
- The ribosomes take mRNA (messenger ribonucleic
acid) and tRNA (translator RNA) and pair them up.
-The tRNA has amino acids attached to it that stick
together to make proteins.
-There are 20 amino acids.
16. Translation, Transcription, and
Replication
- Translation is when mRNA combines with tRNA and
creates proteins.
- Transcription is when mRNA is made from DNA.
- Replication is when DNA is created from DNA.
19. The Endoplasmic Reticulum
- The endoplasmic reticulum has two parts: the
rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth
endoplasmic reticulum.
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes
attached to it that release the proteins inside the
endoplasmic reticulum.
20. The Endoplasmic Reticulum #2
- The smooth endoplasmic reticulum supposedly has
lots of purposes that I don’t know of but I do know
that it encloses the proteins from the rough
endoplasmic reticulum in some of its own
membrane turning the protein into a vesicle.
22. The Golgi Apparatus or Golgi Body
- The golgi apparatus adds the glycerol sugars that
guide the vesicles to where they have to go to.
- The golgi apparatus adds extra carbohydrates and
also adds phosphates.
- It does this with enzymes.
24. The Proteins
- There are lots of kinds of proteins that the
ribosomes create.
- There are tunnel proteins, proteins that are
embedded into the membrane, there are
proteins on the surface of the membrane, so
you get the point right.
26. Mitochondria
- Mitochondria creates the energy that the
cells use.
- Mitochondria transforms the already energy
containing sugars in the cell into ATP a more
used form of energy.
27. Mitochondria Part 2
- There can be thousands of mitochondrias
inside of one cell.
- Mitochondria takes the nutrients from the
small intestine and turns it the nutrients into
energy.
30. The Axon
- The axon is the long thing on the picture of the cell
- The axon is where the signals from the cell are transmitted.
- The axon has voltage gated sodium channels that keep the
signal strong with sodium ions.
31.
32. The Dendrites
- The dendrites are the root looking things on the picture
- On the average nerve cell there are five dendrites.
- These dendrites receive the signals from different axons
and “feel” as in the sense.
33. The Terminal
- The terminal is where the axon splits on the
picture
- The terminal is where the certain signal goes
to place where it commands something
through the synapses.
35. The Myelin Sheath/ Schwann cells
- The schwann cells are parts of the axon that
isolate the axon.
- The myelin sheath is made of multiple
schwann cells.
- The schwann cells are made of layers upon
layers of bi lipid layers.
37. The Synapses
- The synapse is the space between the axon
and axon, dendrite, or soma and the two
sending and receiving neurons.
- There are these vesicles (membrane bound
proteins) with proteins called
neurotransmitters
38. The synapses
- Then, the snare proteins (the proteins that
connect the vesicles to the axon) pry open the
axon membrane.
- The neurotransmitters are let out and they
bond with the proteins on another cell which
opens a Na+ channel to make another action
potential
40. The Nodes of Ranvier
- In the Nodes of Ranvier the part of the axon
is depolarised this means that the cell is polar
in the first place.
- The cells are polar because there
