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 |
|
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.
