Cells
2
Scientists Hooke-saw cork cells under a microscope Van Leeuweenhoek – saw living bacteria Pasteur – studied bacteria and developed the germ theory that said that ‘germs’ cause disease. He also developed the first vaccines. Koch – rules to test if a germ is the cause of a specific disease Margulis – tested DNA in mitochondria and found it was the same as bacteria DNA
3
Cell Theory All living organisms are composed of one or more living cells Cells are the basic units of life All cells come from preexisting cells
4
Microscopes Compound Light Microscope – series of glass lens that can be no better than 1000X, but can be used to view living cells Electron microscopes – aims a beam of electrons at thin slices of cells (dead) –Transmission electron microscope (TEM) –Scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Microscopes
6
Cell size As cell size increases, the surface area to volume ratio decreases Rates of chemical exchange may then be inadequate for cell size Cell size, therefore, remains small
7
Cell Size
9
Basic Cell Types Prokaryotes – cells without a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles –Example: most unicellular organisms, e.g., bacteria Eukaryotes – cells with a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles (ER, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, chloroplast, lysosome)
10
Plasma Membrane
11
The Lipid Bilayer Lipids of the bilayer –fluid or liquid-crystalline state Proteins move within the membrane
12
Fig. 5-2b, p. 108 Integral (transmembrane) protein (b) Fluid mosaic model. According to this model, a cell membrane is a fluid lipid bilayer with a constantly changing “mosaic pattern“ of associated proteins. Phospholipid bilayer Peripheral protein Hydrophilic region of protein Hydrophobic region of protein
13
Cytoplasm Environment inside cell membrane Cytoskeleton – supporting network of long, protein fibers that form a network and anchor for the cell organelles
14
Membrane structure Phospholipids~ membrane fluidity Cholesterol~ membrane stabilization “Mosaic” Structure~ proteins Membrane carbohydrates ~ cell to cell recognition;
15
Nucleus Genetic material... chromatin chromosomes Nucleolus:; ribosome synthesis Double membrane envelope with pores Protein synthesis
16
Ribosomes Protein manufacture
17
Endomembrane system, I Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Smooth ER no ribosomes; synthesis of lipids Rough ER with ribosomes; synthesis of proteins
18
Endomembrane system, II Golgi apparatus –ER products are modified, stored, and then shipped
19
Endomembrane system, III Lysosomes sac of hydrolytic enzymes; digestion of macromolecules Tay-Sachs disease~ lipid-digestion disorder
20
Other membranous organelles, I Mitochondria quantity in cell correlated with metabolic activity; cellular respiration contain own DNA
21
Other membranous organelles, II Chloroplast (doubled membranous plastid) photosynthesis own DNA
22
Peroxisomes Metabolism of fatty acids; detoxification of alcohol (liver)
23
Cellular Transport Passive Transport – does not require energy –Diffusion –Across a membrane Osmosis Facilitated diffusion Active Transport – requires energy –Sodium/Potassium pump –Transport of Large Particles Endocytosis Exocytosis
24
Diffusion
25
Osmosis
26
Water balance Osmoregulation~ control of water balance Hypertonic~ higher concentration of solutes Hypotonic~ lower concentration of solutes Isotonic~ equal concentrations of solutes Cells with Walls: Turgid (very firm) Flaccid (limp) Plasmolysis~ plasma membrane pulls away from cell wall
27
Turgor and Plasmolysis
28
Facilitated Diffusion
29
Types of Active Transport Sodium-potassium pump Exocytosis~ secretion of macromolecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane Endocytosis~ import of macromolecules by forming new vesicles with the plasma membrane phagocytosis pinocytosis

Fig. 5-17b, p. 121 1. Three Na+ bind to transport protein. 2. Phosphate group is transferred from ATP to transport protein. 3. Phosphorylation causes carrier protein to change shape, releasing 3 Na+ outside cell. 4. Two K+ bind to transport protein. 5. Phosphate is released. 6. Phosphate release causes carrier protein to return to its original shape. Two K+ ions are released inside cell.
