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
