uses ATP to transport molecules through protein

Golgi Apparatus
finishes, sorts, and ships

-flattened membraneous sacs

4 classes of signal molecules
1) secreted signals that act locally

2) secreted signals for long distance

3)intracellular signals

4) cell surface signals
Secreted Signals that act locally
a) paracrine signaling- growth factors

b) synaptic signaling- neurotransmitters
Secreted cells for long distance
travels through circulatory system in animals.

for plants: vessels, cell to cell, or diffusion in air
Intracellular Signals
a) cell junctions

ex. gap junctions between animal cells
plasmodesmata between plant cells
Cell surface Signals
a) cell to cell recogniition

ie. blood antigens and antibodies
Cell signaling process
reception

transduction

response
Reception for Cell Signaling
ligands change location/shape of receptor protein

-plasma membrane proteins- ligands are secreated and water soluable in paracrine and synaptic and membrane bound in cell surface signals

-cytoplasmic or nuclear proteins- ligands need to be lipid soluable in order to pass through membranes
Specific types of plasma membrane receptors
G Protein linked receptors: ligands are hormones and neurotransmitters

Tyrosine Kinase Receptors: ligands are growht factors

Ligand gated ion channels: ligands are neurotransmitters

Cell to Cell communication: receptor proteins on white blood cells bind to antibodies that are bound to surface of bacteria. this stimulates phagocytosis
Intracellular Receptors
-receptor proteins are inside cell rather than on the surface
-ligands are steroids that can go through membrane
-receptor proteins can be found either in cytosol or nucleus
Living matter is made up of?
96% is made from C, O, N, H
