What is the cell theory?

All organisms are composed of one or more cells


Cells are the smallest living things & are the basic units of organization


Cells arise only by division of a pre-existing living cell

As a cell increases in size ____ becomes ____ than the ____

Surface area, less, volume

SA is proportional to the______________


Volume is proportional to _____________

square of the radius, cube of the radius

Small cells function______than large cells do

more effectively

Basic structural similarities of all cells

DNA


Cytoplasm


Ribosomes


Plasma membrane

Protein components of a cell membrane

Transport proteins


receptor proteins


cell surface identity markers


Prokaryotic cells

Lack


a membrane bound nucleus/organelles


Have


Dna, cytoplasm,cell or plasma membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, nucleoid

Eukaryotic cells

Have


nucleus, cytoskeleton, organelles, endomembrain system

the endomembrane system

a series of membranes throughout the cytoplasm



ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes

Cellular membranes consist of

phospholipid bilayer, interior protein network, cell surface identity markers

Phospholipid structure consists of

1 molecule of glycerol, 3 carbon polyalcohol, 2 nonpolar hydrophobic fatty acid tails attached to the glycerol

phospholipids ____form bilayers

spontaneously

peripheral membrane proteins

Are anchored to one phospolipid in one layer of the membrane

Integral membrane proteins

Span the entire lipid bilayer membrane



Often forms an a--helical structure

Extracellular domain

Outside of the cell

Cytoplasmic domain

Inside of the cell

Passive transport

Movement of molecules through the membrane that requires no energy, in response to a concentration gradient

Simple diffusion

net movement of molecules across a membrane from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration

facilitated diffusion

through carrier proteins, that are specific and passive

osmosis

the movement of water across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low

Hypertonic

high solute concentration

hypotonic

lower solute concentration

isotonic

equal solute concentration (no net movement of water)

Active transport

uses energy to move materials against a concentration gradient (low to high)


sodium potassium pump

_active transport, uses antiporter to move 3 sodium ions out, and 2 potassium in , breaks ATP into ADP

Coupled transport

The energy released (as one molecule moves down its concentration gradient) is used to move a different molecule against its concentration gradient

endocytosis

Movement of substances into the cell


Occurs when the plasma membrane envelops food particles/liquids.

exocytosis

movement of substances out of the cell.


Phagocytosis

Takes in particulate matter

Pinocytosis

Takes in liquid

Oxidation

Atom r molecule loses an electron

reduction

atom or molecule gains an electron

Positive Change in free energy

products have more free energy than reactants


H is higher or S is lower


endergonic, not spontaneous


Negative change in free energy

products have less energy than reactants


H is lower or S is higher or both


Exergonic, spontaneous

Spontaneous chemical reactions________

require activation energy

Activation energy

The extra energy needed to destabilize existing chemical bonds & initiate a chemical reaction

Catalysis

the process of influencing the chemical bonds in a way that lowers the activation energy needed to speed up a chemical reaction

ATP

Adenosine Triphosphate

Structure of ATP

Ribose ( 5 carbon sugar), Adenine, chain of three phosphates

Enzymes

molecules that catalyze reactions in living cells


Lower activation energy, are not changed, increase the chemical reaction by a million times

Substrate

the reactant in an enzymy catalyzed reaction

active site

a special region on the enzyme that has a shape that fits, binds with specific substrate molecules

metabolism

all chemical reactions occuring in the organism

anabolism

chemical reactions that expend energy to build up molecules

Catabolism

Chemical reactions that harvest energy from chemical bonds to break down molecules
