In this learning material, students shall appreciate the biologists involved in the study of cell and
realize the importance of each organelle in the cell. This is also to recognize and appreciate God’s amazing
design. Let’s get started!
II. DISCUSSION
Self-check: What is the cell theory all about? Compare it to the contributions of Schleiden, Schwann, and
Virchow.
Module 2: Cell Structure and Functions
Watch the video link below for an overview and discussion of the cell structure and functions of
animal, bacteria and plant cell.

Cell is the units of structure and function of living things. And it is composed of organelles which are also called
“little organs” of the cell.
Nucleus is one of the most important part of the cell. For it is the “master control of the cell.” It contains genetic
material code DNA whichstands for (deoxyribonucleic acid).It is the master program that controls the life of the
cell and determines the physical characteristics of the organism. The main function of the nucleus is to
maintain the DNA “blueprints” for replication purposes.
It is also surrounded by a membrane called nuclear envelope. It resembles the cell membrane in
chemical structure and a double membrane as well. It contains nuclear pores which are so called “gates” for it
regulates the transport of large molecules into and out of the nucleus. Small proteins are allowed to pass
through but large proteins are blocked by this pores.
Within the nucleus, we have the nucleolus. It maintain the ribosomes (protein factories). It is the site
for ribosomal RNA synthesis which is transported out from the nucleus through the pores into the cytoplasm for
protein synthesis (ribosomes).
Cytoplasm is fluid medium of the cell. It contains or holds the organelles or “little organs” of the cell.
cytoskeleton
It serves as skeleton of the cell to prevent the cell from being squashed or distorted. It helps to maintain
the shape. It is composed mostly by microtubules.
Why?
Because protein and other molecules produced by the ribosomes can be packed in vesicles and
placed on the microtubule and a specialized motor protein (ATP) then whisks the vesicle and its
contents along the microtubules to its destination.
Centrioles
This is pair organelles which serves as the foundation of the cytoskeleton and composed of
microtubules too. It helps in the distribution of chromosomes to daughter cell in cell division.
Mitochondria
In Plant cell:
Aside from mitochondria, it also has chloroplast which is responsible for its pigmentation and source of
energy. It is where complex reaction of photosynthesis occurs.
Ribosomes
It is called the Protein factories of the cell. Protein is the most important molecules in the cell for it
serves as pumps, valves, winches, information retrieval devices, chemical catalyst, light and position
sensors, power generators and communication relays. These are the smallest and numerous in the
cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
“Multipurpose network or Industrial Complex”
It was so called multipurpose network for it manufactures proteins and fats and breakdown toxins and
waste.
It was so called industrial complex for it collects ribosomes. This ribosomes move to RER when they
need to make protein to exported to other cells or need to make protein destined for one of the cell
membrane.
2 types:
1. smooth endoplasmic reticulum – lipid synthesis
2. rough endoplasmic reticulum – protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus
“shipping center of the cell”
lysosomes
“recycling center of the cell.”
Its wall contain ion pumps that make its interior acidic. Proteins needed for recycling are dump in it to
be broken down by the acid and special enzymes. It is also used to attack bacteria that invade cell.
Peroxisomes
-containing digestive enzymes for breaking down toxic materials
-by-products: H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
-help breaking down alcohol in the body (livers cell is rich in peroxisomes)
Plant cell
It is a very obvious part seen. Plant cell need larger storage bins for they manufactures their own food.
It is the covering of the cell, a very vital part of it. For through it go all the substances that enter or leave
the cell. It is composed of special liquid molecules which are called PHOSPHOLIPIDS – forming two
layered structures (lipid bilayer).
It gives the cell membrane a remarkable properties.
Plant cell
Cell wall – it offer protection against bacteria and pathogens in plant cell. It is
composed of cellulose fibers that help for support.

Instructions: Upon completion of your work this week, write a reflection about what you learned. Your
reflections should include your opinions with evidence to back up your thoughts and some personal
experiences. You can make it an art or photo journal based on your preference. The purpose of this task is to
ensure you are processing your thoughts on the lesson content. This will enhance your learning, knowledge,
creative and critical thinking skills. Provide a bible verse on your weekly journal that suits best for your
reflections.

Module 3: Cell types
Module 4: Cell Modifications
In this course, let’s have a review of the cell structures in different organisms (bacteria, animal and
plant cell) and learn to differentiate the prokaryotic from eukaryotic cell. Determine the different cell
modifications and point out their structural functions.
Watch the video link below for an overview of the lesson and review of the cell structures.

II. Picture Analysis: Observe the picture below, and answer the guided questions.
Guided questions:
1.Identify the cell types:
Animal Cell:_________________________
Plant Cell:___________________________
Bacteria:____________________________
III. DISCUSSION
Prokaryotes
-are organisms without a cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles.
-Most are unicellular
-examples: BACTERIA
Eukaryotes
-are organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a
cytoskeleton: multicellular
-most characteristic membrane bound structure is the nucleus.
-examples: Animals, plants, fungi, and protists
In plants:
*plasmodesmata – channels between adjacent cells of plants for
communication
- play an important role in the sharing of water, nutrients, and
chemical messages among plant cells
Lateral Modifications:
Hemidesmosomes
-involved in promoting the adhesion of epithelial cells to the underlying basement membrane
-utilize integrins major component
transduce signals from the extracellular matrix to the interior of the cell, that critically
modulate the organization of the cytoskeleton, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation
Watch the video link below for better understanding of the cell junctions.

Microvilli
-also called brush/striated border
-finger like cytoplasmic extensions of the apical
Surface which increase surface area for absorption
-found: small intestine
Steriocilia
-long microvilli that function in increasing absorption
-non-motile
-found: secretory cells in ear and male reproductive
organ
Cilia
-motile, function in movement
-beats in a coordinated rhythmical wave-like manner,
promoting movement of materials over the surface
-appear as short hair-like structures or projections
