This will serve as a review of the parts of the cell. This also has the notes for the sections in chapter 3 discussed in class on diffusion and osmosis as well as the cell cycle and mitosis. You should be able to identify the organelles in fig. 3.1a on the next slide as well as the functions for the organelles outlined in table 3.1a and b. Refer to the reading of chapter 3 or see me with any questions.

The cytoskeleton diagrammed on the next slide functions to help the cell retain and constant shape as well as helping with movement of the cell. –Note this is very similar to what our Skelton does for us. –Composed of three types of filaments or fibers. See diagram. Some cells move by cilia or flagella which are composed of Microtubules.

The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer. –This is composed of two layers of phospholipid. –The polar head oriented outside and inside the cell to associate with the water (hydrophilic) contents. –The non-polar tails are situated in-between the two polar heads and form a non-polar core. –This arrangement helps control the passage of substances in and out of the cell. –There are other molecules located in the cell membrane such as: Proteins Cholesterol –These give the membrane a more rigid structure.

The nucleus is a prominent structure in the cell and contains the chromosomes. This is surrounded by the nuclear membrane (envelope) which also has pores in it allow passage of small molecules in and out. The nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. (ER) See Figure 3.3.

Fig. 3.4

The ER has two parts: –Rough ER- Studded with ribosomes which make proteins. (translation) –Smooth ER- No ribosomes and this functions in lipid production. The ER functions as highway system of sorts within the cell to help proteins and other cell products make their way around the cell and to the outside of the cell.

Golgi Apparatus: –Located near the ER usually. –Consists of stacks of three to twenty sacs. –Receives products from the ER and other cellular locations. –Contains enzymes that change and act on these products. –Directs their shipment to cellular locations.

Mitochondria-The Power House of the Cell This is bounded by two membranes. Fig 3.6 Inner membrane is called the cristae and is the site of ATP synthesis via cellular respiration. See book pg 41.

The plasma membranes helps keep a cell intact. It is said to be selectively permeable: –Only allows passage of certain molecules. –Functions to control what gets in and out: –Helps keep the internal cell environment stabile. Movement across the membrane is both passive and active.

Diffusion: –Random movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Like perfume in a room. Dye in water. –Some molecules can freely diffuse across the cell membrane. Gasses Alcohols –No energy is required for passive diffusion.

Osmosis: Specialized Diffusion. –Diffusion of water across a membrane. –Occurs when there is an unequal concentration across a membrane. –Normally body fluids are isotonic to cell interior. Equal conc. of solutes inside and outside of the cell. In this case cells retain their shape and size. Tonicity. –Osmotic Pressure

Transport by Carriers: –Most substances do not just diffuse across a membrane. –Most are helped along by passing through protein carriers with-in the membrane. –Move from an area of high conc. to an area of low conc. –No energy is required. Movement down concentration gradient. –Seen with passage of Amino Acids or glucose through cell membrane.

Active Transport: –Movement is against the concentration barrier. –From an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. –Requires energy. –Makes use of protein carriers as well. –See fig 3.9 in book.

Cell Cycle: –Orderly set of stages that take place between the time a cell divides and when the daughter cells divide. –Interphase: Period between mitosis events. G1: (Gap 1/Growth 1) Period right after division and before DNA Replication. Cell grows is size. S Phase: (Synthesis) Period when DNA is duplicated. G2: (Gap 2/Growth) Period when Cell prepares for division.

Protein Synthesis: –DNA > RNA > Protein. –Review in figure 3.13 and page 48.

Mitotic Stage of Cell Cycle: –Parent cell divides to give two daughter cells. Identical Cells. –5 stages: Fig 3.14, 3-15 and pg Prophase: Chromosomes condense and form visible structures. Metaphase: Chromosomes align on equator of cell. Anaphase: Sister Chromatids separate. Telophase: Chromosomes separated and cleavage furrow appears. –During Telophase cytoplasm and cell organelles divide into both cells. –Called cytokinesis.
