lipid-used to synthesize triglycerides and phospholipids or catabolized to generateATP


-can be saturated or unsaturated

phospholipid

lipid- an important component of cell membranes

cholesterol

lipid/steroid- component of cell membranes, precursor of bile salts

protein

give structure to the body, regulate processes, provide protection, assist in musclecontraction, transport substances, and serve as enzymes

3 divisions of the cell

1. Plasma (cell) membrane


2. Cytoplasm-Cytosol, Organelles


3. Nucleus- Chromosomes, Genes

parts of the cell (organelles)



Plasma membrane, Nuclear membrane, Nucleus


Cytoplasm, Nucleolus, Chromatin(chromosomes) Smooth ER, Rough ER, Ribosomes, Golgi complex, Centrosomes and centrioles, Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, Cytoskeleton, Cilia, Flagella, Vacuoles, inclusions

plasma membrane

flexible yet sturdy barrier that surrounds and contains the cytoplasm of the cell

nucleolus

contains protein and RNA

nuclear membrane

double lipid bilayer surrounding the nucleolus

nucleus

contains the cell’s hereditary units,

cytosol

intracellular fluid portion of the cytoplasm

smooth ER

synthesizes lipids

rough ER

(studded with ribosomes) make proteins

ribosomes

synthesize proteins

golgi apparatus

transport proteins

lysosomes

Contain enzymes that breakdown proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.

Peroxisomes

contain enzymes that use oxygen to oxidize (break down) organic substances

inclusion

nonliving components of a cell

phospholipid bilayer

cell membrane functions for protection and support and allows certain materials to pass through it

Factors affecting permeability

the size


Charge


hydrophobicity


polarity of the molecule trying to permeate the membrane (polar or non-polar)

concentration gradient

the difference in the concentration of a chemical between one side of the plasma membrane and the other

Electrical gradient

the difference in concentration of ions between one side of the plasma membrane and the other

passive transport across cell membrane (3)

Simple diffusion


Facilitated diffusion


Osmosis

active transport (processess) across cell membrane (2)

Active transport


Vesicular transport

factors affecting diffusion (passive) (5)

1. Steepness of the concentration gradient


2. Temperature


3. Mass of diffusion substance


4. Surface area


5. Diffusion distance

Facilitated Diffusion

Transmembrane proteins help solutes that are too polar or too highly charged move through the lipid bilayer

two types of facilitated diffusion


Channel mediated facilitated diffusion


Carrier mediated facilitated diffusion

osmosis

The net movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

3 types of tonicity

solution /what happens to the cell (RBC)



isotonic /nothing


hypotonic /hemolysis


hypertonic /crenation

primary active transport

transporter protein which pumps a substance across a plasma membrane against its concentration gradient


requires ATP

secondary active transport

Energy stored (in a hydrogen or sodium concentration gradient) is used to drive other substances against their own concentration gradients

exocytosis

Secretes substances outside of the cell.




( memory hint ex -->exit)

endocytosis

Takes material into the cell.
