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)
