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

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?
