CELL MEMBRANE

External boundary


Regulates entry & exit = selectively permeable


Double phospholipid layer with proteins


Phospholipids arrange themselves to their water loving (hydrophilic end is outwards & their water hating (hydrophilic) end is outwards, creating an oily sphere





NUCLEUS





Directs cell activities


Contains chromatin = DNA = Genetic material and nucleus

RIBOSOMES


Small granules of protein & RNA


Found free & attached to endoplasmic reticulum


Follow genetic instructions for protein synthesis

ENDOPLASMIC RITICULUM X2


ROUGH ER - Branching channels studded with ribosomes. Transport & makes proteins & phospholipids.




SMOOTH ER - Branching channels. Makes & transports lipids. Makes steroid hormones. site of chemical reactions e.g. glycogen - glucose. Detoxifies.

GOLGI APPARATUS

Modifies & packages proteins for external or internal use. End product leaves in vesicles.
MITOCHONDRIA


Converts glucose to ATP (energy)


ADP + P = ATP


ADP = Adenosine diphosphate


ATP = Adenosine triphosphate

VESICLES:


LYSOSOMES:


CENTRIOLES:

VESICLES - Transport bubbles


LYSOSOMES - Contain lysozymes & other digestive enzymes.


CENTRIOLES: 2, used in cell division. Surrounded by a clear area = centrosome.

DNA



Deoxyribonucleic acid


Double helix twisted together


Made of deoxyribose sugar + a phosphate group + a nitrogen containing base


(These 3 things make up a nucleotide)

NITROGEN CONTAING BASES


ONE OF:


Adenine


Thymine


Cytosine


Guanine


( C pairs with G & A pairs with T)

DNA REPLICATION


DNA unwinds


Hydrogen bonds break


Bases are exposed


New nucleotides attach to exposed bases


Results in 2 identical strands, each with a new half

MITOSIS : PROPHASE

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes


Nucleoli & nuclear envelope break down


Spindle fibres grow from centrioles


Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of cell

MITOSIS : METAPHASE


Chromosomes lie along the midline of cell


some fibres attach to kinetochores


Fibres of aster attach to plasma membrane.

MITOSIS: ANAPHASE


Centromeres divide in two


Spindle fibres pull sister chromatids to opposite poles of cell


Each pole (future daughter cell) now has identicle set of genes.

MITOSIS: TELOPHASE


Chromosome gather at each pole of cell


Chromatin condenses


New nuclear envelope appears at each pole


New nucleoli appear in each nucleus


Mitotic spindle vanishes (cytokinesis - cell division)

PROTIEN SYTHESIS

Making proteins


Proteins begin as long chains of amino acids


Uses RNA


- Ribonucleic acid


- Single strand


- Ribose sugar


- Uracil replaces thymine

PROTIEN SYTHESIS: 1ST STEP


- TRANSCRIPTION




TRANSCRIPION - Copying they required piece of DNA (the gene), occurs in nucleus


- DNA partly opens


- RNA nucleotides pair with one DNA strand


-RNA nucleotides join to make mRNA (messenger RNA)


- mRNA leaves the nucleus



PROTIEN SYTHEIS: 2ND STEP


- TRANSLATION


TRANSLATION - Using the copy to make the protein, occurs on the ribosomes


- mRNA attaches to a ribosome


- Ribosomes 'reads' the mRNA


- Bases are read in groups of 3 (3bases = codon)


- Each codon codes for one amino acid


- We use 20 amino acids


- Most have more than one code
