Compare and Contrast Animal cells and Plant cells
|
Plant cells have a central vacuole, cell wall, and chloroplast and animals cells do not. They both have a plasma membrane and a nucleus.
|
|
Prokaryotic cells
|
Prokaryotic cell has no nucleus and lacks many other organelles, they also appear earliest in Earth’s fossils.
|
|
Eukaryotic cells
|
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and other internal organelles bounded by membranes. These appeared later in Earth’s history.
|
|
Plasma Membrane structure
|
Composed mostly of proteins and a type of lipid, phospholipids.
|
|
Proteins
|
to let things travel through the membrane
|
|
Phospholipids
|
main structural component (hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail)
|
|
Carbohydrates
|
cell to cell recognition
|
|
Cholesterol
|
regulate fluidity
|
|
Phospholipid structure
|
Structured much like a fat molecule but only has 2 fatty acids instead of 3. The 2 fatty acids at one end (tail) are hydrophobic and not attracted to water, while the other end (head) includes a phosphate group which is negatively charges and hydrophilic, which is attracted to water.
|
|
4 functions of membrane proteins
|
1. enzyme activity
2. Cell to cell recognition 3. Cell signaling 4. Transport of materials |
|
enzyme activity
|
catalyze reactions of nearby substances
|
|
cell to cell recognition
|
molecules on the surface of other molecules are “recognized” by membrane proteins
|
|
cell signaling
|
chemical messenger binds to membrane protein, causing it to change shape and relay the message inside the cell
|
|
transport of materials
|
transport proteins provide channels for certain solutes
|
|
diffusion
|
net movement of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated
HIGH->LOW CONCENTRATION. |
|
osmosis
|
Passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane
|
|
Facilitated diffusion
|
transport proteins provide a pathway for certain molecules to pass.
|
|
Active transport
|
When a cell expands energy to move molecules or ions across a membrane.
|
|
Endocytosis
|
Reverse from exocytosis. Takes material into the cell within vesicles that bud inward from the plasma membrane. Larger membrane sacks are also formed by endocytosis when food particles are ingested
|
|
Exocytosis
|
When exporting protein products from a cell, a vesicle containing the proteins fuses with the plasma membrane and spills its contents outside the cell.
|
|
active transport
|
when a cell expands energy to move molecules or ions across a membrane
|
|
passive transport
|
diffusion across a membrane and the cell expands. (no energy)
|
|
why it is important for the cell membrane to be semi-permeable or to have selective permeability?
|
Because its very particular of what it lets pass through it’s membrane.
|
|
Hypertonic
|
The solution with a higher concentration of solute
|
|
Hypotonic
|
The solution with a lower concentration of solute.
|
|
Isotonic
|
The solution when the concentrations of solute are equal
|
|
nucleus
|
Houses cell’s genetic material in form of DNA
|
|
nucleolus
|
makes ribosomes
|
|
nuclear membrane
|
protects nucleus
|
|
ribosome
|
site of protein synthesis
|
|
endoplasmic reticulum
|
smooth ER makes lipids/carbs and breaks down toxin. Rough ER makes specialized proteins.
|
|
Golgi apparatus
|
modifies, sorts, and ships proteins and lipids for export or insertion into cell membranes.
|
|
vacuole
|
stores undigested nutrients
|
|
vesicle
|
small membrane sacs that specialize in moving products into, out of, and within a cell.
|
|
central vacuole
|
stores undigested nutrients and water
|
|
lysosome
|
has digestive enzymes that break down macromolecules
|
|
chloroplast
|
photosynthic organelles found in cells of plants
|
|
mitochondria
|
ENERGY
|
|
cell wall
|
protects plant cell and maintains shape
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
where muscles/organelles attach
|
|
centriole
|
used in cell division
|
|
Pathway used to make cell membranes
|
First it goes to the nucleus where it makes ribosomes, and then it goes to the rough ER which makes proteins, and then to the golgi apparatus and sorts and modifies it, and then it goes into a vesicle and then it travels wherever
