Cell Structure and Function

all cells have at least 3things: Cytoplasm, DNA or RNA, and a Plasma Membrane

Eukaryotic cell

Cells that contain anucleus and organelles. Types: Plants and Animal.

Prokaryotic cell
No nucleus. Cytoplasm, DNA(not housed in the nucleus), Plasma Membrane. Types: E-Coli, Pond scum
Plasma membrane

made up of a lipid bilayer of phospholipids (head portionof a phospholipids is hydrophilic (interacts with water), the tail portion ishydrophobic (does not interact with water)).


Alsocalled the Fluid Mosaic Model. Dynamic. Mosaic of different molecules andproteins
Lipid bilayer

auniversal component of all cell membranes.


Cytoplasm
a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cellmembrane
Nucleus

Protects the DNA. Controls molecules in and out. OrganizesDNA.


Contains 4 items.



Nuclear envelope


Nucleoplasm


Nucleolus

Chromatin
Nuclear envelope

· 2 Lipid bilayers, DNA attachment sites, Pores span bilayer.


Nucleoplasm

Semi fluid space within the nucleus.



Nucleolus

Mass of proteins and DNA tomake ribosomes.

Chromatin

Cells collection of DNA andassociated proteins.

Ribosome

Structures where proteinsare made.

Endomembrane system:




Rough ER


Smooth ER


Golgi bodies


Vesicles


Lysosomes


Vacuole



Rough ER



Ribosomes on surface, siteof protein synthesis.

Smooth ER

Site of lipid synthesis.





Golgi bodies

· Put final modification on proteins and lipids from the ER.(Endoplasmic Reticulum)


Vesicles

Patches of membrane thattransport materials.
Lysosomes
Breaks down cell waste anddebris.

Vacuole

Fused vesicles, stores amino acids, sugars and wastes,provides structures. Only in plants.



Organelles of Metabolism:

Mitochondria


Chloroplast

Mitochondria

· Site of aerobic respiration.


Chloroplast

Site of photosynthesis.

How did mitochondria andchloroplasts evolve?

Mitochondria DNA and Chloroplast DNA evolved byEndosymbiotic theory.



Endosymbiotic theory:

Ancestors of eukaryoticcells were parasite by aerobic (or photosynthetic) bacteria; over time bothcells were unable to live without each other.


Cell wall

Protects cell, providesshape and support, always have a plasma membrane. (Plant cells have a cellwall, animal cells do not have a cell wall.)

Cytoskeleton

Structural components that provideshape internal organization, movement of organelles, cell motility.




Microtubules

made of tubulin (protein).Types: Flagella, Cilia

Microfilaments

made of actin (protein). Types: False feet.




Ways substances cancross the plasma membrane:



Diffusion


Passive transport


Active transport

Diffusion

the net movement of solute molecules down a concentrationgradient. (Greater to lessor)



Passive transport

requires no energy,transport down concentration gradient

Active transport


requires energy, transport against concentration gradient(lessor to greater)



Endocytosis, exocytosis

transport via vesicles

Molecular Movement

Diffusion


Osmosis

Diffusion –Factors:

Concentration of the solute.


· Molecular size.



· Temperature.



· Electrical force or pressure.


Concentration of the solute

· the more concentrated the faster the diffusion.


Molecular size

· smaller molecules diffuse faster.


Temperature
the higher the temperaturethe faster the diffusion.
Electrical force orpressure
builds up and ionicconcentration to create a current.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across aselectively permeable membrane down its concentration gradient. (To the higherconcentration of the solution).
Tonicity

A comparison of solute concentrations.



· Hypotonic



· Hypertonic




· Isotonic


Hypotonic

having fewer solutes. (expands)



Hypertonic

having more solutes.(shrinks)

Isotonic

having equal concentration.(equal)


Membranes crossing mechanisms:


Diffusion and Osmosis


Passive transports


Active transporters


Endocytosis and Exocytosis

Diffusion and Osmosis

O2, CO2 andother small, nonpolar molecules; water molecules.


Glucose and other large polar molecules; ions do notcross

Passive transports

Glucose, more concentratedoutside the cell than inside. Does not require energy, downgradient.

Active transporters

higher concentration of CA+ outside the cell compared tothe inside. Requires energy.


Endocytosis and Exocytosis

movement of molecules byvesicles.
Endocytosis:
Movement in by vesicles.
Exocytosis:
Movement out by vesicles.
