Plasma membrane

Separates and protects the interior of the cell from the external environment. It is selectively permeable.

Cytoplasm

The fluid matrix (cytosol) inside the plasma membrane in which all the cells internal structures are suspended, outside nucleus

Chromosome

An organized structure of DNA and protein

Ribosome

The site for assembly of proteins

Cytoskeleton

Dynamic network of filamentous proteins that provide the structural support to the cell

Shape and internal structural features

Determines function

Red blood cell shape

Maximizes surface area for gas exchange and allow it to deform as it passes through the circulatory system

Hepatocytes (liver cells)

Contain large amounts of rough ER needed for protein synthesis

Muscle cells

Have actin and myosin for contraction

Neurons

Have long extensions of plasma membrane

Microvilli

Intestinal epithelial cells increase absorptive surface area

What prevents cell from being any smaller

Surface area to obtain nutrients and dispose of wastes

Prevents cell from getting larger

Surface area to volume ratio. Not enough material can cross to accommodate growing cell

Structure of cell membrane

Controls nutrients and wastes in and out of cell


Cell membranes are fluid mosaic of mostly phospholipids and proteins

Fluidity of membrane

Phospholipids drift laterally and rarely flip flop transversely across membrane

Phospholipids

Ampipathic both hydrophobic and hydrophilic

Hydrophobic

Fatty acid tail

Hydrophilic

Glycerol, phosphate and polar group

In an aqueous solution

Phospholipids arrange themselves spontaneously in enclosed bilayers

Cell membrane peanut butter sandwich

Peanut butter-hydrophobic tail


Bread-hydrophilic head


Jellybeans are proteins


Fluidity of membrane

Phospholipids vanderwaal forces between fatty acid tails


Interactions are weak so membrane is fluid

Strength and interactions between fatty acid tails

Length of fatty acid tails- longer more interaction therefore less fluidity


Shape- unsaturated (kinks/ one or more double bonds) more fluid

Membrane

No open end due to cohesion


Reseal


Fuse with other membranes

Cholesterol

Wedged between phospholipids in animal cell membrane

In colder temperatures cholesterol

Increases membrane fluidity by preventing interaction

In warmer temperatures cholesterol

Reduces membrane fluidity- more interaction

Transporter protein (channel or carrier)

moved ions or hydrophilic molecules across the membrane

Receptors

allow the cell to receive signals from the environment

Enzymes

Catalyze chemical reactions

Anchors

Attach to other proteins that help maintain cell structure and shape

Hiv

Cannot effect a cell without CCR5

Integral proteins

Permanently associated with lipid bilayer and span entire membrane

Peripheral membrane

Loosely associated with lipid bilayer and is internal or external of the membrane

Cell membrane

Maintains a constant and stable environment within the cell

Diffusion

Passive transport works without energy


Movement from high to low concentration


The particles reach equilibrium where the concentration of substances is same throughout

Osmosis

Water moves into and out of the cell by passive diffusion


Moves more readily by facilitated diffusion


Protein channels -aquaporins


Moves from low solute Concentration to high solute Concentration

Hypertonic

More solute Concentration than inside the cell so cell shrinks

Hypotonic

Less solute Concentration than inside cell so cell grows

Isotonic

Sane solute Concentration as inside

Cell wall

Rigid structure that surrounds cell membrane

Turgor pressure

Force exerted by water pressing against an object


Vacuole takes up water and contributes to turgor pressure


Plant wilts when dehydrated

Mimosa

K+ and other electrolytes are released


Cell shrinks

Simple diffusion

Simple -diffuse freely


H20, CO2, O2, ethanol, lipids, non polar, small polar




Facilitated diffusion

channel proteins provide corridors for ions and polar moleculesCarrier proteins - bind to ions and polar molecules and change shape to shuttle them across the membrane

Active transport

Moves molecules from low solute Concentration to high solute Concentration

Primary active Transport

E.g. sodium and potassium pump is a membrane protein that uses energy as ATP to move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradient

Secondary active transport

Transport of other molecules is driven by electrochemical gradient


E.g. Proton pump


1.Active transporter pumps H+ across cell membrane using ATP


2. Pump creates a proton concentration and electric gradient


Moves protons down electrochemical gradient drives movement of other molecules against the gradients

Membrane permeable to sodium chloride not glucose; movement of water and glucose

0.4 m glucose on side A


0.8 M glucose on side B


Glucose moves over to A


0.9 total on side A 1.2 total on side B


Water moves from side A to B

Internal organization

Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles


Eukaryotic is a large factory with many rooms and different departments

Eukaryotic cells have internal compartmentalization

Organelles separate different types of cells activities in cytoplasm by clustering enzymes that work together in an enclosed space

Nucleus

Nucleolus, nuclear envelope, chromosomes and ribosomes

Endomembrane system

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) smooth ER and rough ER


Golgi apparatus


Vesicles e.g. lysosome


Vacuoles



Energy converting organelles

Chloroplasts (plant only)


Mitochondria

Cytoskeleton

Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules, cilia and flagella

Parts of animal cell one

Nucleus- storehouse for cells genetic information and site for RNA synthesis



Mitochondria- produce most ATP that serves as the energy currency of the cell



Plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids and proteins, and regulates passage of materials into and out of the cell


Cytoskeleton- network of protein filaments and other associated proteins that provide cell with an internal structural framework


Parts of the animal cell two

Endoplasmic reticulum- involved in protein and lipid synthesis



Lysosomes degrade molecules



Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins and lipids as they move to their final destination in or out of the cell

Plant cell

Cell wall is rigid barrier composed of polysaccharides



Chloroplasts enable plant cells to harness energy of sunlight and synthesize sugars
