Eukaryotic cell
|
plants, animals, fungi
have a membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
same basic structure
cells can eb specialized to perform particular functions muscle cells |
|
Prokaryotic cells
|
bacteria, archaea
no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles |
|
|
Cell size
|
must be small in order to function
|
smaller the cell greater the surface are to volume ratio
>surface area to vol. ratio=more efficient determines nutrients in to waste out |
|
Cell membranes
|
regulates the substances allowed in and out of the cells between the cell organelles and cytosol
detect chem messengers arriving at the cell surface |
link adjacent cells together by membrane junctions
anchor cells to the extracellular matrix |
|
Cell membranes-structure
|
Basic- fluid-mosaic model
phospholipid bilayer intersperesed with protein and cholesterol molecules |
Phospholipids are amphipathic
flexible like olive oil |
|
Integral proteins
|
amphipathic
bound to hydrophobic interior the phospholipid bilayer |
may or may not extend from one side o the membrane to the other
|
|
Peripheral proteins
|
bound to the interior or exterior surface of the membrane, usually to integral proteins
|
most often on cytosolic
shape and motility |
|
Glycocalyx
|
carbohdydrate chains on some proteins and lipids attached to the cytoplasmic surface
|
fingerprint provides cell identity enables cells to interalce with each other
|
|
Cholesterol
|
found only in animal cell membranes
reduces membrane permeability keeps membrane at optimal level of fluidity involved in vesicle formation |
|
|
Integrins
|
transmembrane proteins that bind to specific proteins in extracellular matrix
link to membrane proteins on adajecent cells |
holds cells together
|
|
Tight junctions
|
join epithelial cells
no extracellular space between cells |
substances have to go through selectively permiable membrane
can't sneak in |
|
Desmosomes
|
sporived spot like adhesions between adjacent cells
-stability, resists seperation - skin |
dense plaques on cytoplasmic side of membrane anchor intermediate filaments
cadherins- exten into the extracellular space and bind adjacent cells to each other like a zipper |
|
Gap junction
|
found in cardiac muscle
allow direct communication between cells resulting in coordinated cellular activity |
formed by channels/pores (bridge) connexons attache to each other and open and close like a gate
|
|
Nucleus
|
storage and transmission of genetic informatino to the next generation of cells
|
Structure
nuclear envelope- contains nuclear pores nucleolus- site of rRna and proteins chromatin nucleoplasm |
|
Ribosomes
|
in cytoplasm-single or in chains
protein factories in cells can be free ribosome released into cytosol or attached to rER and transported to another organelle then on to the Golgi apparatus |
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER)
|
near nucleus-membranel enclosed channels/flattend sacs called cisternae
|
protein processing
protein folding quality control-defective proteins |
|
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER)
|
network of membranous channels-no ribosomes
|
systhesis of lipids
detoxifies releases calcium ions |
|
Golgi apparatus
|
sorts proteins and then transports to necessary organelles
|
tiny sacs
recieves proteins from the rER phosphates and carbohydrates can be added distributes proteins withing vesicles to other parts of the cell or plasma membrane |
|
Transport vesicles
|
transport pods
|
sends thing from one organelle to another with it can go to rER to Golgi and then Golgi can send it out
|
|
early Endosomes
|
relatively close to the plasma membrane
|
sorts vesicles either moves it on to the other organelles or it recycles it to the plasma membrane
|
|
late endosomes
|
located near Golgi apparatus and nucleus
|
transfer substances to lysosomes
some develop into lysosomes |
|
Mitochondria
|
powerhouse of the cell
anerobic cellular respiration |
site of Krebs cycle
oxidative phosphorilation also play role in lipids involved with hormones estrogen and testosterone |
|
Lysosomes
|
fluid is acidic
breaks down boacteria dn the debri from dead cells that have been engulfed by a cell |
|
|
Peroxisomes
|
generates H2O2
removes oxygen from substances such as lipids, alcohol, toxins |
prevealent in lipid metabolizing cells
involved in breaking down fatty acids into 2 carbon fragments (to use in ATP generation) |
|
Cytoskeleton
|
network of protein filaments that functions in supporting cell structhrue/shape, cell movement and transport of cellular materials
|
actin-smallest
intermediate- medium microtubules- largest |
|
Actin filaments
|
made up of 2 g-actin twisted to form f-actin
|
determin s cell shape, the abilty of cells to move by amoeboid-like movements, cell diveison, and muscle cell contraction
|
|
Intermediate filaments
|
composed of twisted strands of several different proteins
|
contribute to cell shape and help anchor the nucleus.
|
|
Microtubules
|
maintain cell shape
intracellular movement- monorails spindle fibers |
cell movement
cilia flagella |
