compound microscope

uses light and glass lenses to see small structures. different colors are visible (max magnification=2000x)

electron microscope

uses a beam of electrons instead of light to see small structures. produces black and white images only

transmission electron microscopes

used to view the inside of objects (max magnification= 1,000,000x)

scanning electron microscope

used to view the surface of objects (max magnification= 100,000x)

inner membrane

1 membrane that makes up the nuclear envelope

outer membrane (connected to the ER)

1 membrane that makes up the nuclear envelope

Nuclear pores

the nuclear envelope contains many of these pores

nuclear pore

permits certain molecules to pass through the nuclear envelope

transport vesicles

bud from ER and delivers products to the Golgi (cis face)

secretory vesicles

bud from Golgi and fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell (transface)

lysosomes

bud from the Golgi; contain powerful enzymes used to digest imported substances or worn-out organelles

food vesicles

bud from plasma membrane; used to take substances into the cell; fuse with lysosomes for digestion of the imported substances

peroxisomes

bud from themselves by growing and dividing; break down fatty acids and amino acids, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced by this breakdown and and is toxic to cells. peroxide in liver cells break down alcohol and other toxins

fission

breaking apart

fusion

coming together

mitochondrion

chloroplast cell

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

Phosophlipid

phosophlipid bi-layer

plasma membrane
Plant Cell, Animal Cell, Bacteria
controls movement of substances into and out of the cell
nucleus (nuclei)
Plant Cell, Animal Cell
isolates and stores DNA (genetic material)
nucleolus (nucleoli)
Plant Cell, Animal Cell
Makes ribosomes
ribosomes
Plant, Animal, Bacteria
makes protein
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Plant, Animal cell
has many ribosomes temporarly attached to the outer surface. provides surface for making secretion proteins.
i.e of secretion proteins: enzymes. hormones, and anitbodies
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
plant, animal cell
has no attachment ribosomes. makes and transports lipids and carbohydrates
golgi apparatus (enzymes, antibodies, hormone)
plant, Animal cell
discover by Camillo Golgi. a stack of separate compartments. products recieved from ER are processed and packaged for delivery. each sac in the stack contains different enzymes
mitochondrion (mitochondria)
Plant, Animal Cell
power house of the cell. produces ATP from energy stored in food. ATP powers many cell processes.
chloroplast (green)
Plant Cell
photosynthesis
cell wall
Plant, Bacteria cell
gives structual support and keeps cells from bursting under low salt condition
vacuole
Plant, Animal Cell
the large central vacuole in plant cells pushes all organelles close to the cell surface. this improves membrane transport efficiency and gives structual support to the cell. other vacuoles can be used for storage (fat vacuole_ water disposal (contractile vacuole) and digestion (food vacuole)
centriole
Animal Cell
unknown
cytoskeleton
Plant, Animal Cell
a network of protein fibers found in the cytoplasm. used to reinforce, organize, and move cell structures. can be used for cell movement (cell crawling)

cilia

Plant, Animal Cell


cell movement or moving liquid over the cell surface

Plant, Animal Cell


cell movement or moving liquid over the cell surface

flagella (flagellum)
Plant, Animal, Bacteria Cells


cell movement. Flagella are fewer in number than cilia and generally longer
Plant, Animal, Bacteria Cells
cell movement. are fewer in number than cilia and generally longer

capsule

Bacteria


allows bacteria to attach to surface and protects then from host defenses

Bacteria


allows bacteria to attach to surface and protects then from host defenses

nucleiod

Bacteria Cell


an area where the DNA is concentrated inside a prokaryotic cell

Bacteria Cell


an area where the DNA is concentrated inside a prokaryotic cell

Factors of passage through the plasma membrane

size, polarity (lipid solubility), electrical charge

what helps passage through the plasma membrane

  • small size
  • nonpolar, hydrophobic (lipid soluble)
  • neutral charge

what hinders passage through the plasma membrane

  • bigger sizes
  • polar, hydrophilic, (lipid insoluble)
  • positive or negative charge

transport proteins

carrier proteins and channel proteins

carrier proteins

  • specific molecules enter the protein
  • protein make a shape change and molecule is released on the other side of the membrane

channel proteins

serve as tunnels for certain substances to cross the membrane

gated channels
a certain channel protein has gates that open and close to permit or block the passage of specific ions

aquaporins

specialized channel protines that allow water molecules to cross a cell membrane

exocytosis

(out of cell) vesicles in the cytoplasma membrane fuse with it and have their contents released to the cells surroundings. the vesicles used in this process are called secretory vesicles

endocytosis

(into the cell) a region of the plasma membrane encloses particles at or near the cell surface and then pinches off to form a vesicles that moves into the cytoplasm

phagocytosis

type of endocytosis cell eating transports solids into a cell. food vesicles are formed by this process

pinocytosis
type of endocytosis
cell drinking
transports liquids into a cell

receptor- mediated endocytosis

use receptors found on the membrane surface to bind specific substances and transport them into the cell

sodium potassium pump

  • allows cells to maintain a low internal concentration of Na+
  • high internal concentration of K+

(active transport)


  • the pump perform these 6 steps 100 times per second
  • needed to maintain nerve cell voltage
  • drive other transport processes

Na+K+ pump step 1

three sodium ions bind to the cytoplasmic side of the carrier

Na+K+ pump step 2 (phosphorylation)

ATP adds a phosphate group to the carrier protein. this causes the protein to change shape

Na+K+ pump step 3

with the new shape the sodium ions now face the cell exterior. the ions dont bind as well to the new shape and they are released to the outside

Na+K+ pump step 4

the new shape will allow two potassium ions to bind from the outside

Na+K+ pump step 5 (dephosphorylation)

the binding of the potassium ions causes the phosphate group to be released.

Na+K+ pump step 6

once phosphate group is released the protein returns to it's original shape.
