Fluid-Mosaic model of cell membrane
phospholipid bilayer with proteins scattered throughout
Glycocalyx
Carbohydrate chains
Formed by glycoproteins
To protect the cell
Helps one cell stick to another, signaling molecules, dehydration, and cell to cell recognition
Functions of proteins (5)
Channel protein/pores- the way things will get in and out of cell.
Carrier/transporter protein- shuttles molecules in/out of cell.
Cell recognition protein- Glycoproteins- help recognize cell to cell.
Receptor proteins- for ligand molecules to bind a single cell.
Enzymatic protein- speed up chemical reactions
Permeability of plasma/cell membrane
selectively/semi/differentially permeable- only lets certain things though

This function is critical because the life of the cell depends on maintenence of its normal composition
3 ways molecules get into the cell
-freely cross membrane- water, carbondioxide, oxygen, and other small non charged particles
-assisted by carriers- ions, polar molecules, glucose, and amino acids
-enter in vesicles- larger molecules
diffusion
movement of molecules from a higher to lower concentration until an equilibrium is reached

Rate of diffusion depends on temp, pressure, electrical currents, and molecule size
osmosis
the diffusion of water molecules from high to low water concentration

water moves from low solute to high solute--DILUTE the SOLUTE
Osmotic pressure
Pressure to prevent osmosis
Pressure that develpos in a system due to osmosis
Higher the concentration, the greater amount of osmotic pressure
Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions

what hypotonic and hypertonic creates
Isotonic- Same concentration as another solution

Hypotonic- Less concentration than another solution- creates turgor pressure in plants

Hypertonic- More concentration than another solution- Crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells
Facilitated transport
(diffusion) Move down concentration gradient with the help of a transporter
No energy needed
Active transport
Goin against concentration gradient. Energy is required and it needs a carrier
Endocytosis
Endo(into)- Into the cell, cell membrane invaginates enclosing something within the cell
Exocytosis
Exo(exit)- exits, leaving the cell. residual bodies- waste
Junctions between animal cells
Anchoring junction- attach adjacent cells. Attach 2 cells together
Tight junction- fluid tight seal
Gap/communication junction- channels between cells. Cells must communicate at the same time.
Extracellular matrix
Material between cells

Ground substance- Polysaccharides
Fibers- collagen, elastin
Plant cell walls

Plasmodesma
Made of cellulose and non-cellulose-pectin,lignin

Plasmodesma- a way plant cells communicate-channels
Energy
The ability or capacity to do work.
Organisms need a constant supply of energy
Potential and kinetic energy
Potential- stored energy
Kinetic- Energy of motion
First law of thermodynamics
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another
Second law of thermodynamics
Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy (usually in form of heat).
Entropy and how it relates to cells (3)
State of dissorganization

Energy transformations increase entropy of universe

Requires a constant input of energy to maintain organization
Autotroph
auto(self) photosynthetic-self feeders
Heterotroph
Other feeders.
depend on autotrophs and cannot photosynthesize
Metabolism
The sum total of all chemical reactions that take place in a cell.

Anabolism- synthesis(build up)
Catabolism- break down
Free energy and "triangle G"
The amount of energy available to do work after a chemical reaction

Energy of products (Energy of reactants)
Exergonic reactions
Exer(out)- Release energy
Negative change in energy
Products have less free energy than reactants
Endergonic reactions
Ender(in) - Require an input of energy to occur
Positive change in energy
Products have more free energy than reactants
Structure of ATP
And how energy is gained or lost
Adenosine+Pi+Pi+Pi---Adenosine~P~P~+Pi

ATP carries energy between exergonic/endergonic reactions

Add phosphate, Lose phosphate
Functions of ATP (3)
Chemical- Used to synthesize molecules
Transport- Used to move substances in/out of cell (active transport pumps)
Mechanical- Movement of flagella or other parts
Metablolic pathway
A series of enzyme catalyzed reactions. The products of one step serve as the reactants for the next step.
Enzymes
proteins that speed up chemical reactions
3 characteristics of enzymes
Specific- 1 substrate, 1 enzyme
Efficient- used over and over again
Subject to strict cellular control
Enzyme substrate complex
Enzyme is a protein that speeds up chem. reactions and substrates create the enzymatic reaction in an enzyme.
Lock "n" key- perfect fit
Induced fit- enzyme changes so the substrate can fit better
Energy of activation
minimal amount of energy to start a chemical reaction

enzymes lower the Ea
Constituitive and Inducible enzymes
Constituitive- Made at all times

Inducible- Made at certain times (when substrate is present)
The suffix that usually denotes an enzyme
ASE.
Lactase
Sucrase
Maltase
4 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme reaction
Substrate concentration- How much substrate is at the active site
Temperature- Higher temperature increases molecular motion. Each enzymes have their own optimum temp. depends on the enzyme.
pH- each enzyme has optimum pH
Enzyme concentration- substrate is limited, add more enzyme, the faster it will go
Enzyme inhibition
some type of inhibitor that binds to an enzyme and decreases activity
Reversible and Irreversible inhibition
Reversible- Temporarily shuts down when inhibitor is bound and cannot function. Can reverse and fall off
Irreversible- Inhibitor permanantely and irreversibly damages the enzyme
ex: poisons, cyanide, nerve gas
Competitive and non-competitive inhibition
Competitive- Something competes with substrate. Inhibitor binds to active site
Non-competitive- Inhibotor binds to another part of the enzyme (allosteric site)
Oxidation and reduction
Oxidation- The loss of electrons LEO

Reduction- The gain of electrons GER

Always coupled reactions and re-dox reactions occur in both photosynthesis and respiration
Photosynthesis and respiration
photosynthesis
(oxidized) NADP+ +2e- +H+--->NADPH (reduced)


Respiration
(oxidized) FAD + 2e- +H+---> FADH2 (reduced)
Electron transport chain
chain of electron carriers that accept electrons from NADPH (photosynthesis) or NADH or FADH2 (respiration)
Chemiosmosis
Method of ATP formation. How ATP is made.
ETC is embedded in (2)
Inner mitochindrial membrane

Thylakoid membrane
ATP production
As electrons are pumped across the membranes, they go accumulate on one side. As they go back through the membrane, they go through ATP synthase which makes ATP for each or pair of H+ proton passing through
Phagocytosis
Cell eating
Pinoctyosis
Cell drinking
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Brings in specific molecules
