Eukaryotes
large,extensie anatomy and organization
Prokaryotes
no organelles, no distinct nucleus
8 chief functions of how cells specialize
movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, communication
cellular adhesion (3)
*plasma membrane (caveolae)
*extracellular matrix (collagen,elastin, fibronectin)
*specialized cell junctions (desmosomes, tight, gap)
cellular communication
*Goal is HOMEOSTASIS
*done by:protein(gap)channels, plasm membrane-bound signalling molecules(receptors), secrete chemicals
active transport
expends energy
*use energy from cellular metabolism
*receptors recognize substance
passive transport
no energy needed
*osmosis
*hydrostatic pressure
*diffusion
movement of body fluids
cell membranes are selectively permeable; water passes through easily; most ions and molecules move through much slower
osmosis
moving a liquid through the membrane from lesser to greater solute concentration; ~rate depends on concentration, temperation, electrical, differences between osmotic pressures
osmotic pressure(osmolarity)
pulling power for water: *depends on number of molecules in solution(the higher the concentration, the greater the puling power)
*rate is quicker
Describe what happens when water follows solutes
Blood:few solutes, lots of water
Cell:many solutes, less water
Hypertonic
higher osmotic pressure as RBC's (shrinks cell); pulls fluid AWAY from cells
Hypotonic
lower osmotic pressure than RBC's (enlarges cell); fluid MOVES INTO cells
Isotonic
same osmotic pressure as RBC's ; no fluid shift
Plasma proteins affected by osmotic pressure
Albumin: keeps fluid in intravascular compartment using osmotic pressure; hydrostatic pressure draws fluid back into capillaries
diffusion
moving a solid across the semipermeable membrane from higher concentration to a lower concentration to reach equilibrium
filtration
both water and solids move together in response to fluid pressure; seen in capillary beds; ACTIVE Transport (requires energy); uses carrier molecule to enter cell (glucose)
