1
Cellular Level of Organization
2
Introduction Two types of cells Sex cells (haploid)
Somatic cells (diploid)
4
Cell Membranes 4 main functions
5
1. Physcial Isolation Separates inside of cell from outside
6
2. Selectively Permeable Membrane
Regulates exchange with the environment
7
3. Sensitivity Contains receptors
8
4. Structural Support The cell membrane can connect to other cells or extracellular proteins
9
Cell Membrane Structure
Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tails
11
Cell Membrane Structure
Ions and water soluble compounds cannot cross the membrane
12
Cell Membrane Structure
This separates the extracellular fluid from the cytosol which is important for homeostasis
13
What are in membranes? 1. Cholesterol
15
What are in membranes? Integral proteins
17
What are in membranes? Enzymes Catalyzes reactions
18
What are in membranes? Receptor proteins Protein – lock Ligand - key
19
What are in membranes? 5. Carrier Protein
Transports things across the membrane
20
What are in membranes? Channels
Allows continuous movements of ions and water soluble materials
21
What are outside cell membranes?
Peripheral proteins Glycoproteins Glycolipids
23
Glycoprotiens and glycolipids
Can tell if certain cells are normal or abnormal by their glycoproteins and glycolipids
24
Organelles Components of cells
25
1. Cytoskeleton Strength and flexibility Composed of 3 main structures
Microfilaments ( actin ) Intermediate filaments ( collagen ) Microtubules ( tubulin )
27
2. Microvilli Increase surface area
Finger-shaped projections of cell membranes
28
3. Centrioles Their involved in cell division
Not found in RBC, skel. muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells, and neuron cells
30
4. Cilia Long slim extensions of the cell membrane Found in trachea
31
5. Ribosomes Synthesize proteins
Composed of two subunits ( one small and one large) Free ribosomes Fixed ribosomes
34
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Network within the cytoplasm attached to the nucleus
37
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Two types SER RER
40
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
SER Detoxifies drugs or toxins Synthesizes lipids and carbs
41
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
RER Transports materials and synthesizes proteins
42
7. Golgi Apparatus Proteins come from the ER into the golgi for modification
45
8. Lysosome Breaks down and recycles organelles
Breaks down bacteria and foreign material
48
9. Peroxisomes Breaks down fatty acids and organic compounds
50
10. Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell Produces ATP – energy
Contains two membranes (outer and inner)
53
11. Nucleus Chromosomes are stored here Composed of DNA
54
Membrane Transport Membranes are selectively permeable
55
Membrane Transport Passive processes do not require energy
56
Membrane Transport Active processes require energy
57
Membrane Transport 3 major ways in which materials are transported
Diffusion Carrier-mediated transport Vesicular transport
58
Diffusion Hypotonic solution – less concentrated
59
1. Diffusion Hypertonic – more concentrated
60
1. Diffusion Isotonic solutions – equal concentration
61
1. Diffusion Solutes move from hypertonic solution to hypotonic solution
62
Ions and Water Remember ions and water must pass through channels
63
Lipid Soluble Substances
Alcohol, fatty acids, and steroids are lipid soluble
64
O2 and CO2 O2 and CO2 pass easily
65
Glucose Glucose to big to cross cell membrane
66
2. Carrier-Mediated Transport
Can be passive or active
67
2. Carrier-Mediated Transport
Proteins carry substances across
68
2. Carrier-Mediated Transport
Sometimes carries two things at once (cotransport)
69
2. Carrier-Mediated Transport
Sometimes carries to things in opposite directions (countertrasnport)
70
2. Carrier-Mediated Transport
Fascilitated Diffusion Active Transport Secondary Active Transport
71
Facilitated Diffusion
Passive
72
Facilitated Diffusion
Carries substances such as glucose and amino acids
73
Facilitated Diffusion
Goes down conc. Gradient but limited to number of carrier proteins
74
Active Transport Requires energy
75
Active Transport Not dependent on concentration gradient
76
Active Transport Ion pumps use active transport
77
Active Transport Exchange pumps move two kinds of ions in different directions Example: Na+/K+ Pump
78
Na+/K+ Pump Na higher in concentration outside cell K higher in cell
79
Na+/K+ Pump Sometimes Na diffuses into cell and K leaves through leaky channels
80
Na+/K+ Pump Na+/K+ pump puts things back into order
81
Na+/K+ Pump Ejects on average 3Na+ and bringing in 2K+ ions
83
Secondary Active Transport
Does not require energy
84
Secondary Active Transport
Goes down a conc. gradient
85
Secondary Active Transport
It uses the concentration gradient of a molecule as the driving force to move another molecule against the concentration gradient
86
3. Vesicular Transport Requires energy
87
3. Vesicular Transport Endocytosis Exocytosis
88
Endocytosis Imports substances into the cell
89
Endocytosis Receptor mediated endocytosis Pinocytosis Phagocytosis
90
Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
Extremely selective
91
Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
Plasma membrane proteins bind only with certain substances
93
Pinocytosis Cell drinking
94
Pinocytosis Dissolved proteins gather on the external surface of the plasma membrane, causing the membrane to invaginate and to incorporate a droplet of fluid
96
Phagocytosis Cell eating
97
Phagocytosis Parts of the plasma membrane flow around a relatively large or solid material and engulf it.
99
Exocytosis Expels material out of the cell
