PHYSIOLOGY
2
Cell Ultimate structural and functional unit in living beings
4
Examples of Cells Amoeba Proteus Plant Stem Bacteria Red Blood Cell
Nerve Cell
5
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Two Types of Cells Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
6
Prokaryotic Do not have structures surrounded by membranes
Few internal structures One-celled organisms, Bacteria
8
What are organelles?? Organelles are the cell parts in the cell
9
Cell Membrane Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell Double layer
10
What is cell membrane? Outer most covering of the cell
Cell membrane separates living cell from nonliving surroundings Selectively permeable Consists of phospholipids and proteins mainly and other macromolecules such as cholesterol and carbohydrate
11
Fluid-mosaic model Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, fluid consistency and a mosaic pattern of embedded proteins
13
Composition of cell membrane
14
Phospholipids hydrophobic hydrophilic Fatty acid tails
Phosphate group head hydrophilic Arranged as a bilayer Phosphate Fatty acid
15
Hydrophilic (water-loving) polar heads of the molecules lie on the outward-facing and inward-facing surfaces of the membrane. Hydrophobic (water-fearing) nonpolar tails extend to the interior of the membrane.
16
Proteins Peripheral proteins Integral proteins
loosely bound to surface of membrane cell surface identity marker Integral proteins penetrate lipid bilayer, usually across whole membrane transmembrane protein transport proteins channels, permeases (pumps)
17
Many Functions of Membrane Proteins
Outside Plasma membrane Inside Enzyme activity Cell surface receptor Transporter Cell surface identity marker Attachment to the cytoskeleton Cell adhesion
18
Carbohydrates Glycolipids - phospholipids with carbohydrate chains attached Glycoproteins -proteins have carbohydrate chains attached. The carbohydrate chains of glycolipids and glycoproteins form the glycocalyx
19
Functions of the Glycocalyx
cell-to-cell recognition cell-cell adhesion reception of signal molecules. The diversity of carbohydrate chains is enormous, providing each individual with a unique cellular “fingerprint”.
20
Cholesterol Helps maintain the integrity of the cell membrane, and plays a role in facilitating cell signaling ( meaning the ability of your cells to communicate with each other), protecting the proteins and giving them a supportive cover.
21
Cell Wall Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria
Supports & protects cells
22
Inside the Cell
23
Nucleus Directs cell activities
Separated from cytoplasm by nuclear membrane Contains genetic material - DNA
24
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds nucleus Made of two layers
Openings allow material to enter and leave nucleus
25
Chromosomes In nucleus Made of DNA
Contain instructions for traits & characteristics
26
Nucleolus Inside nucleus Contains RNA to build proteins
27
Cytoplasm Gel-like mixture Surrounded by cell membrane Contains hereditary material
28
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Moves materials around in cell Smooth type: lacks ribosomes Rough type (pictured): ribosomes embedded in surface
29
Ribosomes Each cell contains thousands Make proteins
Found on ribosomes & floating throughout the cell
30
Mitochondria Produces energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates Controls level of water and other materials in cell Recycles and decomposes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
31
Golgi Bodies Protein 'packaging plant' Move materials within the cell
Move materials out of the cell
32
Lysosome Digestive 'plant' for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes
33
Vacuoles Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal
Contains water solution Help plants maintain shape
34
Chloroplast Usually found in plant cells Contains green chlorophyll
Where photosynthesis takes place
