Struktur dan Fungsi Organel Sel
Sel adalah unit terkecil dari makhluk hidup yang dapat berfungsi secara mandiri. Dokumen ini membahas struktur dan fungsi sel hewan dan tumbuhan, yang terdiri atas membran sel, sitoplasma, nukleus, organel-organel seperti retikulum endoplasma, badan golgi, mitokondria, dan kloroplas. Sel tumbuhan memiliki kloroplas untuk melakukan fotosintesis.

- 6. 1. Pengertian Sel Seladalah unit terkecil dari makhluk hidup yang masih dapat menjalankan fungsinya. Sel disebut sebagai unit terkecil karena tidak dapat dibagi-bagi lagi menjadi bagian yang lebih kecil yang berdiri sendiri. Secara struktural, tubuh makhluk hidup tersusun atas sel-sel. Secara fungsional, tubuh makhluk hidup dapat menyelenggarakan kehidupan jika sel-sel penyusun itu berfungsi. Sel mengandung materi genetik, yaitu materi penentu sifat-sifat makhluk hidup. Dengan adanya materi genetik, sifat makhluk hidup dapat di wariskan kepada keturunan.
- 7. 2. Sejarah PenemuanSel a) Robert Hooke Pada tahun 1665, mengamati sayatan gabus dari batang Quercus suber menggunakan mikroskop. Ia menemukan adanya ruang-ruang kosong yang dibatasi dinding tebal dalam pengamatannya. Robert Hooke menyebut ruang ruang kosong tersebut dengan istilah cellulae artinya sel. Sel yang ditemukan Robert Hooke merupakan sel-sel gabus yang telah mati. b) Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Merancang sebuah mikroskop kecil berlensa tunggal. Mikroskop itu digunakan untuk mengamati air rendaman jerami. Ia menemukan organisme yang bergerak-gerak di dalam air, yang kemudian disebut bakteri. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek merupakan orang pertama yang menemukan sel hidup.
- 8. 3. Komponen KimiawiSel a) Karbohidrat • Karbohidrat seringkali disebut sakarida, karena terdiri dari rantai molekul glukosa yang disebut monosakarida. • Dua molekul monosakarida saling berkaitan disebut disakarida. • Bebarapa buah disakarida dan trisakarida membentuk polisakarida.Polisakarida merupakan untaian monosakarida yang sangat panjang. Untaian ini dapat lurus maupun bercabang-cabang
- 9. 3. Komponen KimiawiSel b) Protein • Protein tersusun atas unsur : C ( karbon ), H ( hidrogen ) dan O ( oksigen ) dan N( nitrogen ) . Protein merupakan polipeptida atau biopolimer yang tersusun atas asam amino. Ada sekitar 20 macam asam amino sebagai unit dasar penyusun protein . Asam amino sifatnya larut dalam air , dapat dikristalkan , mempunyai titik didih yang tinggi dan dapat bersifat asam atau basa • Protein berfungsi sebagai penyusun struktural sel, penyimpanan, transportasi, pengiriman signal, pergerakan, proteksi serta dapat pula berfungsi sebagai katalisator untuk mempercepat terjadinya reaksi di dalam sel.
- 10. 3. Komponen KimiawiSel c) Lemak (lipid) • Merupakan senyawa yang tersusun atas unsur C ( karbon ), H ( hidrogen ) dan O ( oksigen ). Lemak tersusun atas senyawa gliserol dan asam lemak yang merupakan unit dasar penyusun lemak. • sifat lemak diantaranya tidak larut dalam air, densitas atau kerapatanna lebih rendah dari air , memiliki viskositas atau kekentalan yang tinggi. • Contoh lemak adalah trigliserida, fosfolipid, steroid • Fungsi lemak antara lain penyusun membran sel bersama-sama dengan protein, penyusun hormon kelamin pria seperti testosteron
- 11. 3. Komponen KimiawiSel d) Asam Nukleat • Asam nukleat merupakan suatu polimer yang tersusun atas monomer-monomer yang disebut dengan nukleotida. • Fungsi utama nukleotida adalah penyimpan informasi (DNA), sintesisn protein (RNA), dan transfer energi (ATP and NAD). • Nukleotida mengandung gula, basa nitrogen, dan fosfat. Gula berupa ribose atau deoksi ribose. • Terdapat lima macam basa nitrogen. Purin (Adenin dan Guanin) memiliki struktur cincin ganda, sedangkan pirimidin (sitosine, Timin dan Urasil) merupakan cincin tunggal.
- 12. 4. Stuktur danFungsi Sel a) Membran Sel Membran Sel Tersusun atas lapisan lipoprotein gabungan lemak dan protein perbandingan 50:50. Lipid yang menyusun membran adalah pospolipid yang bersifat hidrofilik dan sterol yang bersifat hidrofobik. Protein yang terdapat pada permukaan luar dan dalam membran sel disebut protein ekstrinsik yang bersifat hidrofobik. Sedangkan protein yang ada dan menembus kedua lapis lipid disebut protein intrinsik yang bersifat hidrofobik. Membran sel bersifat semi permiabel. Berikut ini sifat sifat membran sel: • Pembatas antara isi sel dengan bagian luar sel • Sebagai pelindung sel • Sebagai tempat pertukaran zat • Sebagai reseptor dari rangsang luar • sebagai tempat berlangsungnya reaksi-readsi kimia.

- 14. 4. Stuktur danFungsi Sel b) Sitoplasma Sitoplasma artinya plasma sel, yakni cairan yang berada di dalam sel selain nukleoplasma (plasma inti). Sitoplasma tersusun atas cairan dan padatan. Cairan sitoplasma disebut sitosol. Padatan sitoplasma adalah organel-organel. Sitosol tersusun atas air, protein, asam amino,vitamin, nukleotida, asam lemak, gula, dan ion-ion. Sitosol disebut pula matriks sitoplasma.
