Cell Membrane (Plasmalemma)
Location: around every cell
Function: Protection, wrapping/enclosing, cell shape, interface between inside(cytoplasm) + outside(environment, semipermiability, cell-to-cell recognition, active movement, transport material.
Cell Membrane Components
water, ions, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids.
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Golgi body/complex(apparatus)
composition:series of flattened membrane sacs.
appearance:"half moon" appearance with "eruptions"
function: assembly of complex macromolecules, packaging and secretion, secretion:good stuff(ear wax) excreation:bad stuff(urine), production of lysosomes
Mitochondria
composition: double membrane around the organelle, inner membranes folds=cristae.
function:site of energy transformation=site of ATP=site of cellular respiration.
ATP
=adenosine triphosphate= universal energy storage compound, energy transfered from food molecules to ATP molecule,
Cellular Respiration
ATP synthesis (in mitochondria)
Lysosomes
composition: membrane bound sac of enzymes, produced by the golgi apparatus.
function: breakdown (digestion) of complex molecules, breakdown of aging cell components.
Peroxisomes (microbodies)
composition: membranous sac
function: breakdown of fatty acids, amino acids, alcohol. reakdown of harmful peroxide, general detoxification.
Cytoskeleton
function: aid in cytoplasmic streaming, anchor cell parts, maintains cell shape, physical movement of cells.
composition:3 major parts: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules.
Microfilaments
protein actin
Intermediate Filaments
protein
Microtubules
protein tubulin
Flagella/Cilia
locomotion, feeding
Splindle fibers
form centrioles in animal cell
Centrioles
found in animal cells and help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division
Vaults
octagonal "barrel-shaped" containers, composed of ribonucleoproteins.
function: dock at nuclear surface, enclose molecules and ship to cellular sites.
Ribonucleoproteins
vaults are composed of this
Docking/transport
vaults do this
Nucleus
function: maitain +control cell activity, copy +transfer genetic info to next generation of cells.
composition:nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, nucleoplasm, nucleolus(site of RNA synthesis), chromosomes(DNA + proteins, contain genetic info:code for traits)
Chromosomes
DNA + proteins
Membrane fluidity
membrane lipid + movement of protein in bilayer
Permeability
selectively permeable
Passive processes
no use of ATP, movementis down the concentration gradient.
ex. simple diffusion, faciliated diffusion, osmosis.
random movement from high concentration to low concentration, movement can be through the lipid or protein portion.
ex. small gases, other lipds, ammonia
Simple Diffusion
example of passive process
Facilitated diffusion
material is "helped/aided" by a "transporter" protein, from high concentration to low concentration, shape change of protein allow movement without ATP usage.
ex. glucose, urea, fructose, some vitamins
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a membrane from high concentration to low concentration of water, water moves through "aqua porins", tonicity: ability to change liquid volume(isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic), based on solute/solvent amounts on either side of membrane.
Aqua Porins
water moves through
Solution
mixture of solute/solvent.
ex.salt water.
Solute
salt
Solvent
water
Isotonic
concentrations of both solute + solvent are equal on either side, result:osmosis(no change) will not occur, water concentration remains stable on either side
Hypotonic
concentration of solute is LOWER/water higher OUTSIDE the cell, result: endomosis occurs, enlargement due to water content, animal cell may burst
Hypertonic
concentration of solutes is higher/water is lower OUTSIDE the cell, result: exomosis occurs, water moves out of the cell, animal cells shrink
Active Processes
movement from low concentrarion to low concentration, works against gradient, requires ATP to release energy, energy helps to change the shape of a protein which pumps the material
Active transport
ex. sodium/potassium pump
Vesicular transport
membranous sac formed by pouching in or out of the existing membrane
Endocytosis
moves things into cell
Exocytosis
secretory vesicles fuse to the cell membrane + expel contents
Phagocytosis
solid material/whole cells engulfed by cells
Pinocytosis
liquid material taken in
Epithelium tissue
functions: provide physical protection: abrasion, dehydration, destruction. control permeability: materials cross epithelium(hormones, nutrients, ions)
Exocrine vs. Endocrine
endo=in
exo=out
Goblet Cells
glandular simple columnar epithelial cells whose sole function is to secrete mucin, which dissolves in water to form mucus. They use both apocrine and merocrine methods for secretion
Merocrine
product released from secretory
Apocrine
loss of cytoplasm + secretory product
Holocrine
entire cell becomes filled with secretory product and bursts
Membranes
epithelium + connective
Serous
abdominal
Mucosal
mucosa
Cutaneous
outside skin
Synovial
joints
Connective Tissue
functions:establish framework for the body(ex. tendons, bone, cartilage), transport fluid + dissolved materials(ex. blood), support surroud and interconnect other tissues, store energy reserves(ex. adipose), defend the body from invasion(ex. blood).
