19. Cytosol and Cytoplasm Structure Functions
Cytosol is a jelly-like substance that fills the cytoplasm, which is the region between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane.
Functions
Cytosol gives internal support to cell.
Cytosol contains many molecules such as enzymes/catalysts needed by cell for metabolism.

20. Cytoplasm & Cytosol

21. Cytoskeleton Structure
Microfilaments and microtubules forming a network throughout the cytoplasm.
Function
Help support & suspend organelles.
Maintain cell shape.
Allow movement within cell – can serve as tracks that molecules can move along.

22. Cytoskeleton

23. Centrioles Structure Small, cylindrical parts of the cytoskeleton.
Function
Aid in Cell Division

24. All Cells Contain

25. Prokaryotes
Cells without a membrane-bound nucleus

26. Eukaryotes
Cells with a membrane-bound nucleus.

27. Similarities 1. They both have DNA as their genetic material.
2. They both have cell membranes.
3. They both have ribosomes
4. They have similar basic metabolism
or cell activities .
5. They both are amazingly diverse in the kinds and forms of cells there are.

28. Differences
Prokaryotic cells are smaller and eukaryotic cells are larger.
Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes do not.
The DNA of prokaryotes floats freely around the cell; the DNA of eukaryotes is held within its nucleus.
Eukaryotes have more organelles, which are also more complex than those of prokaryotes.
Prokaryotic cells are found in kingdoms of bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are found in kingdoms of plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

29. Eukaryotic – defined nucleus
Prokaryotic – genetic material spread out in thread-like filaments throughout the cell

33. Organelles work together
The main job of the cell is to produce proteins and other molecules that will help the cell function.
Some of those proteins remain in the cell, but some are shipped to other cells.

34. Processes Ribosomes are made in nucleolus.
They exit the nucleus through nuclear pores, which are openings in the nuclear membrane.
Some ribosomes float in cytosol - they are free ribosomes and will produce proteins that will remain in the cell.
Some ribosomes attach to the ER. They are bound ribosomes, and will produce proteins that will leave the cell.

35. Processes
Once proteins are produced, they will be transported through the rough ER.
A piece of the ER membrane will pinch off containing the protein products. This is called a vesicle.
The vesicle will travel to the Golgi apparatus, where it will fuse with the membrane of the Golgi.
Once the vesicle fuses, the contents of the vesicle are modified and packaged so they are ready to leave the cell.

36. Processes
After packaging, a piece of the Golgi membrane (vesicle) pinches off containing the modified products.
The vesicle travels to the cell membrane and fuses with the cell membrane.
Once the vesicle fuses, the contents of the vesicle are released outside the cell, where they can be transported to their destination.

37. Cell Membrane

38. Structure Phospholipid Bilayer Membrane Proteins Carbohydrates
Hydrophilic (Water-Loving) Heads
Hydrophobic (Water-Fearing) Tails
Membrane Proteins

Carbohydrates
Attached carbohydrates can hold cells together
Viruses and chemical messages can attach to carbs too.

39. Movement of Molecules Passive Transport Active Transport
No energy required
Molecules move from high to low concentration.
Active Transport
Energy required
Molecules move from low to high concentration.

40. Passive Transport
Follows diffusion, which is the natural tendency of molecules to move from high to low concentration.
Diffusion occurs freely for substances that are small, hydrophobic, and uncharged.

41. Passive Transport
Diffusion requires proteins for molecules that are large, hydrophilic, or charged (ions). This is called facilitated diffusion.
Water is polar (hydrophilic) and requires a protein channel to move across the membrane.
Osmosis describes the facilitated diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane such as the cell membrane.

42. Osmosis
Rule: Water moves via osmosis from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions.
Hypertonic
A solution that has more solute than another.
Isotonic
A solution that has the same amount of solute as another.
Hypotonic
A solution that has less solute than another.

49. Active Transport Cell Membrane Pumps
Proteins in membrane that move molecules against concentration gradient.
Movement of ions can result in the formation of electrochemical gradient.
Electrochemical gradient can be used to do work or to transmit nerve impulses.

50. Active Transport Endocytosis – a condition of moving into the cell
Movement of molecules into the cell through a vesicle or vacuole, created by the cell membrane.
Phagocytosis – movement of large molecules such as food; “cell eating”.
Pinocytosis – movement of small molecules such as water; “cell drinking”.
Exocytosis- a condition of moving out of the cell; “exiting”
Movement of molecules out of the cell through a vesicle that fuses with the cell membrane.
