1
What is the Cell Theory? Cell Theory:
All living things are composed of cells Cells are basic unit of structure and function in living things All cells come from preexisting cells
2
What are the 2 major classes of cells?
3
What are the 2 major classes of cells?
Prokaryotic: Lack nucleus/most other organelles Occur earliest in history of life Examples? Bacteria Eukaryotic: Has nucleus/other organelles Animal/plant/fungi/protists
4
What are the 2 major classes of cells?
5
What are the similiarities between animal/plant cells?
6
What are the similiarities between animal/plant cells?
Organelle: Each part of cell that has a specific function Plasma membrane: Thin outer covering Defines boundary of cell and regulates traffic of chemicals between the cell and its surroundings Nucleus: Holds genetic information Cytoplasm: Region between nucleus and plasma membrane (fluid like)
7
What are the similiarities between animal/plant cells?
Mitochondria Supplies cell energy (ATP) Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein translation/protein transport Golgi Apparatus Processes and package macromolecules Vacuoles storage
8
What are the similiarities between animal/plant cells?
9
What are the differences between animal/plant cells?
Chloroplasts: Organelle that is the site of photosynthesis Cell Wall: Protects cell and holds shape
10
What molecules make up a cell membrane?
What is unique about the interaction of lipids and water? Why do lipids work well for a cell’s boundary, given the fluid inside and surrounding cells?
11
What is the function of a cell membrane?
Keeps the cell organized Regulates flow of material
12
What is membrane structure?
Made up mostly of proteins and lipids Phospholipid: 2 fatty acid TAILS 1 Head
13
Biological Membranes are Bilayers
two layers of lipids each layer has hydrophillic portion hydrophobic portion inside associated with other fatty acids
14
Hydrophillic Region Hydrophobic Region
15
Biological Membranes have a lot of lateral mobility
“fluid mosaic”
17
Functions of Membrane Proteins
Connection to other cells Transport molecules across membrane Membrane associated enzyme activity
19
How do molecules cross a membrane?
Passive Transport Movement of molecules across a membrane without input of energy Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration Active Transport Movement of molecules across a membrane with input of energy Molecules move from low concentration to high concentration
20
What is passive transport?
Some membranes are selectively permeable some molecules can cross easily, some molecules cannot Passive Transport: Diffusion across a membrane No energy is required Oxygen/carbon dioxide
21
Molecules always diffuse from areas of high concentration to low
There is energy in concentration gradients
22
What are examples of passive transport?
Diffusion: The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration Produces equilibrium
24
What is Osmosis? Osmosis:
Passive transport of water from high concentration to low concentration Hypertonic when solution has higher concentration of solute than the cell Hypotonic When the solution has a lower concentration of solute than the cell Isotonic When the solution has equal concentration of solute than the cell (equilibrium) Where will water move into the cell or out of cell?
28
Water diffuses from areas of high concentration to low
little external solutes lots of external solutes
29
Membranes are semi-permeable
Some molecules can cross membrane, many can’t More hydrophobic molecules can cross membrane more easily
30
What is facilitated diffusion?
Transport proteins embedded in membrane provide a pathway for certain molecules to pass Water, sugars
32
Proteins act as portals
Many molecules can’t get across on their own Protein channels allow specific molecules to cross
33
What is Active Transport?
Requires energy to transport molecules across a membrane A transport protein pumps molecules across membrane, usually against concentration gradient Opposite way than diffusion THE TRANSPORT PROTEIN RECOGNIZES CERTAIN MOLECULES (SOLUTES). WHAT OTHER PROTEIN HAS THIS TYPE OF RECOGNITION? Enzymes!!!!
34
Use ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient
Active Transport ATP ADP Use ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient
36
How do large molecules cross membranes?
Vesicles: Small membrane sacs Hold large molecules to open up into cell or out of cell
37
How do large molecules cross membranes?
Exocytosis: Vesicle expels contents out of cell Endocytosis: Vesicle takes material into cell by budding into cell
39
Endocytosis
