Nucleus Cytoplasm Plasma membrane |
3 main regions of cells |
|
Nucleus |
Control center of the cell |
|
Nuclear envelope Nucleolus Chromatin |
3 regions of the nucleus |
|
Nuclear envelope(membrane) |
-barrier of the nucleus -consists of a double membrane -contains nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell |
|
Nucleoli |
-Site of ribose assembly -ribosomes migrate into the cytoplasm through nuclear pores |
|
Chromatin |
-Composed of DNA and protein -present when the cell is not dividing -scattered throughout the nucleus -condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides |
|
Plasma membrane |
-barrier for cell contents -double phospholipid layer -also contains proteins, cholesterol, and glycoproteins |
|
Scared of water |
Hydrophobic tails= |
|
Love water |
Hydrophilic heads= |
|
-microvilli -membrane junctions |
What are the plasma membrane specializations? |
|
Microvilli |
Finger-like projections that increase surface area for absorption |
|
Tight junctions |
-impermeable junctions -bind cells together into leakproof sheets |
|
Desmosomes |
-anchoring junctions that prevent cells from being pulled apart |
|
Gap junctions |
-allow communication between cells |
|
Cytoplasm |
is the material outside the nucleus and inside the plasma membrane |
|
Fibroblasts Erthrocytes |
Cells that cover things: __-hold neurons together __-red blood cells |
|
Epithelial cells |
Cells that cover and line body organs |
|
Smooth and skeletal muscle cell |
Cells that allow move organs and body parts |
|
1. that connect things 2. that cover and line body organs 3. That allow movement for organs and body parts 4. That store nutrients 5. That fight disease 6. That gathers information and controls body functions 7. Cell of reproduction |
Cell diversity: Types of cells- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
|
Nerve cell |
Cell that gathers info and controls body functions |
|
Sperm & egg |
Cells of reproduction |
|
Membrane transport |
-movement of substances into and out of the cell |
|
•passive transport •active transport |
Two basic methods of transport: |
|
Passive |
___ transport- no energy is required |
|
Active |
___ transport- cell must provide metabolic energy(ATP) |
|
Solution |
-homogeneous mixture of two or more components |
|
Solvent |
-dissolving medium; typically water in the body (water) |
|
Solutes |
- components in smaller quantities within a solution (koolaid) |
|
Intracellular fluid |
- nucleoplasm and cytosol |
|
Interstitial fluid |
Fluid on the exterior of the cell |
|
Selective permeability |
What is it called when the plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others? |
|
Diffusion -high to low |
-particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution -movement is from __ to __ concentration |
|
-simple diffusion -osmosis -facilitated diffusion -filtration |
Types of diffusion: - - - - |
|
Simple diffusion |
Types of diffusion:
-an assisted process -solutes are lipid-soluble materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores |
|
Osmosis |
-simple diffusion of water |
|
Osmosis |
Types of diffusion:
-highly polar water molecules easily cross the plasma membrane through aquaporins |
|
Facilitated diffusion |
Types of diffusion:
-substances require a protein carrier for passive transport -transports lipid-insoluble and large substances |
|
Filtration |
-water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure Ex. Turning waterhose on and the built up pressure spews
-a pressure gradient must exist |
|
Active transport |
-substances are transported that are unable to pass by diffusion |
|
Active transport(solute pumping)
Vesicular transport |
Two common forms of active transport: |
|
Exo- |
___cytosis: -moves materials out of the cell -material is carried in a membranous vesicle -vesicle migrates to plasma membrane -vesicle combines with plasma membrane -material is emptied to the outside |
|
Endo- |
___cytosis:
-extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vesicle |
|
Phagocytosis Pinocytosis |
Types of endocytosis: __- "cell eating" __-"cell drinking" |
|
Receptor-mediated |
Fit like a key; uses a receptor to bring in |
|
Interphase Cell division |
Cells have 2 major periods: • • |
|
Interphase |
-cell grows during this time -cell carries on metabolic processes |
|
Cell division |
-cell replicates itself -function is to produce more cells for growth and repair processes |
|
DNA replication |
During ___ ___, genetic material is duplicated and readies a cell for division into two cells |
|
Dna replication |
__ occurs toward the end of interphase |
|
It uncoils and each side serves as a template |
When replicating dna what does it do? |
