Function:
Cell Division
Cilia

Flagella
Hair like

With Tail

Function:
Extensions: Move material by the cell, Move the cell

ex) sperm
Active Transport
requires energy investment by cell
Active Transport Requirements
1) Cell uses some of its own energy to do this

2) Uses a carrier molecule made of protein and called a PUMP

3) Does not have to follow diffusion to concentration gradient
Resting potential
Characteristic of muscle and nervous tissue

A slightly positive charge on the exterior of the cell membrane of a cell at rest.

Established by active transport
Active transport
Action: Each action will push 3 NA+ out of cytoplasm and into the surrounding environment

2) then will bring 2 K+ from surrounding back into the cell cytoplasm

a) 3 Na+ out
b) 2 K+ in
Vesicular Transport
Cell is creating vesicles or vacuole to aid in the movement of materials (requires energy to do this)

1) Exocytosis
2) Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Cell producing material for release to the outside

1) Materiel is made in ER, packed in the Golgi Body

2) Sent to the cell membrane in a vesicle

3) Vesicle then fuses to the cell membrane and material spills out

Example: Goblets cells in the intestines
Endocytosis
Material is brought into the cell via vesicle or vacuole

Phagocytosis & Pinocytosis
Phagocytosis
1) Cell eating
2) Cell brings in particulate material (like bacteria for WBC)
3) Creates a food vacuole from cell membrane
Pinocytosis
1) Cell brings in fluids (like Oils)
2) Creates a tiny vesicle
Passive Transport
(requires no energy expenditure by cell)
Diffusion
Diffusion
Movement of material or energy from greater to lesser concentration.

(Triangle Picture)
1) Highest at source
2) lowest further away
Diffusion:

Temperature
Higher temperature:

Greater diffusion
Diffusion:

Agitation
Greater agitation:

Greater diffusion
Diffusion:

Size
Greater Size, lesser diffusion
Facilitate diffusion
Still from greater to lesser concentration, but through a carrier molecule in a membrane
Carrier molecule
Gate or channel to aid the diffusion

This is a protein in form of a tunnel

-is a tunnel through the membrane and may a cap to prevent exit or diffusion until the cell requires it

-All -cains are sodium channel blockers (NOVOCAIN)
How to always recognize facilitated diffusion
1) will always mention a gate or channel
- i.e. Na+ diffusion
2) into a nerve or muscle cell
3) occurs through a Na+ Channel
Gates or channels are specific

2) Ca++ Channel
3) Na+ Channel
Osmosis
Movement of a solvent from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration across a Semipermeable membrane
Osmosis has 2 restrictions
1) Refers to a movement of a solvent

2) Must pass a semipermeable membrane
Solute
Material being dissolved

i.e. Salt in Sea Water
Solvent
Material that does the dissolving

i.e. Water in Sea Water
Solution
Homogenous mix of solute and solvent

i.e. Sea Water
Solution
Usually identified as a % or amount

-if %, easy to figure out how much is the solvent
Hypertonic
means in a comparison this has a greater amount of solute

- 3.5% sea water is hypertonic to the cells

- Cell will shrink as water leaves it (CRENATION)
Hypotonic
comparison has the lesser amount of solute

-Pure water is hypotonic to cells & Cells will swell and lysis may occur
Isotonic
Occurs when a cell is placed in a solution that has the same amount of solute in both materials being compared

isotonic = cell "I SO HAPPY" Equilibrium
