Chapter 4 4.19 - 4.22 + More Pg. 67-69 Objective: I can describe various structures that lie outside of the cell membrane and relate them to how viruses infect cells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_zD3NxSsD8
2
Boundary of the cell = Plasma membrane Extracellular = outside the plasma mem. Cells secrete substances: Some leave the cell/organism entirely Some stay near to help the cell ▪Provide external support ▪Connect cells, etc.
3
Found in prokaryotes, plants, and fungi Stronger than plasma membrane Protects, maintains shape, etc. (stops excess) Thicker than plasma membrane Made of mix of fibers ▪Matrix of proteins and polysaccharides: ▪Cellulose specific polysaccharide for plants Exact chemistry varies between species
4
Primary Cell Wall First made by young cell Thin and flexible (outside) Middle Lamella Sticky layer to glue cells Made of pectin (plyscch.) Secondary Cell Wall (some) Several layers (much stronger) – closer to cell ▪Example: wood
5
Found in Animal Cells (lack cell wall) Made of glycoproteins/proteoglycans Carbs + Proteins in 1 molecule Also protein collagen in ECM Connects to cell by… Fibronectin: protein that attaches ECM to… Integrin: protein embedded in plasma membrane Purpose: communicate/influence cell
7
Ways in which neighboring cells adhere, interact, and communicate with each other Necessary, because… cells can organize in multicellular organisms (cells come together to make…) tissue, organs, organ systems
8
Singular = plasmodesma (desmos = to bind) Channels that perforate cell wall (porous) Lined with plasma membrane ▪P.M. of 1 cell continuous with other ▪Cytosol, water, and (macro)molecules freely move
9
Tight Junctions Proteins tightly bind cells together Prevents seepage of extracellular fluid Desmosomes Strong “rivets” fastening cells together Made of intermediate fibers (keratin) Stronger, but less sealing Gap Junctions most like plasmodesmata Channels that connect neighboring cells Via membrane bound proteins Which of these is most like plasmodesmata?
11
Structure Viruses can come in many shapes, but they all essentially have: ▪Protein Coat ▪Nucleic Acid inside Notice the lack of… Cell membrane Cytoplasm Ribosomes T4 Bacteriophage
12
Very, very small (~20 nm) some can be smaller than a ribosome
13
Viruses cannot reproduce on own Inject DNA (or RNA) into host cell ▪Host cell cannot tell difference and follows viral DNA instructions ▪What are the instructions? To make more viruses Once host cell makes TONS of viruses, cell lyses (splits open) releasing more viruses to infect more cells
14
Viruses Bacterium
15
Do not reproduce on their own Do not have a metabolism Do not “grow” Are they alive?! Are they an organism? HIV: Human Immunodeficiency Virus
16
Rhinovirus / Influenza Common cold / Flu HIV: Human Immunodeficiency Virus AIDS is NOT a virus… HPV: Human Papilloma Virus Warts ▪Link to cervical cancer! Hepatitis B virus Liver Cancer
17
Why is this lecture about extracellular components and viruses? (write down YOUR answer in notes!) Latest research to fight virus involves changing extracellular components to prevent infection Check out Cell Craft! (on Moodle or just google it!)
