AP Biology Tour of the Cell
3
AP Biology Draw 9 boxes on a piece of paper In each box you will be writing an answer to questions found in this lesson. Write your answers in full sentences. If you would like to write your answers in Cornell style, feel free. When you have completed the notes turn your paper into the purple box. Be sure to put you name on your paper before turning it in.
4
AP Biology Discuss with your partner everything you know about cells
5
AP Biology Prokaryote bacteria cells Types of cells Eukaryote animal cells Eukaryote plant cells
6
AP Biology Minimize competition between organelles
7
AP Biology
9
Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in box #1

AP Biology Why organelles? Specialized structures specialized functions cilia or flagella for locomotion Containers partition cell into compartments create different local environments separate pH, or concentration of materials distinct & incompatible functions lysosome & its digestive enzymes Membranes as sites for chemical reactions unique combinations of lipids & proteins embedded enzymes & reaction centers chloroplasts & mitochondria mitochondria chloroplast Golgi ER
11
AP Biology Why organelles? There are several reasons why cells evolved organelles. First, organelles can perform specialized functions. Second, membrane bound organelles can act as containers, separating parts of the cell from other parts of the cell. Third, the membranes of organelles can act as sites for chemical reactions. Organelles as specialized structures An example of the first type of organelle is cilia, these short filaments act as "paddles" to help some cells move. Organelles as Containers Nothing ever invented by man is as complex as a living cell. At any one time hundreds of incompatible chemical reactions may be occurring in a cell. If the cell contained a uniform mixture of all the chemicals it would not be able to survive. Organelles surrounded by membranes act as individual compartments for these chemical reactions. An example of the second type of organelle is the lysosome. This structure contains digestive enzymes, these enzymes if allowed to float free in the cell would kill it. Organelle membranes as sites for chemical reactions An example of the third type of organelle is the chloroplast. The molecules that conduct the light reactions of photosynthesis are found embedded in the membranes of the chloroplast.
12
AP Biology To the person net to you three reasons why we have organelles. Write your answer in box #2
13
AP Biology Cells gotta live! What jobs do cells have to do? building proteins proteins control every cell function make energy for daily life for growth build more cells growth reproduction repair
14
AP Biology Describe the three jobs of the cell In box #3
15
AP Biology DNA Why study protein production? cells proteins organism Repeat after me… DNA gets the glory, but Proteins do all the work!
16
AP Biology Building Proteins Organelles involved nucleus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi apparatus vesicles nucleusribosomeER Golgi apparatus vesicles The Protein Assembly Line
17
AP Biology DNA RNA ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum vesicle Golgi apparatus vesicle protein on its way! protein finished protein Making Proteins TO: nucleus TO:
18
AP Biology proteins transport vesicle Golgi apparatus vesicle smooth ER rough ER nuclear pore nucleus ribosome cell membrane protein secreted cytoplasm Making proteins Putting it together…
19
AP Biology Describe protein synthesis to the person next to you. Read the textbook (page 123) to find more information about the structure and function of the following organelles: -nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus,ribosome, and vacuole
20
AP Biology One of these is not like the others… Explain why in box # 4 Nucleus ER Golgi Vesicles 1. 2. 3.
21
AP Biology Cells gotta live! What jobs do cells have to do? make proteins proteins control every cell function make energy for daily life for growth build more cells growth reproduction repair ATP
22
AP Biology Cells need power! Making energy take in food & digest it take in oxygen (O 2 ) make ATP remove waste ATP
23
AP Biology Lysosomes Function little “stomach” of the cell digests macromolecules “clean up crew” of the cell cleans up broken down organelles Structure vesicles of digestive enzymes only in animal cells Christian de Duve 1960 | 1974 Where old organelles go to die!
24
AP Biology Lysosomal enzymes Lysosomal enzymes work best at pH 5 organelle creates custom pH how? proteins in lysosomal membrane pump H + ions from the cytosol into lysosome why? enzymes are very sensitive to pH why? enzymes are proteins — pH affects structure why is this an adaptation: digestive enzymes which function at pH different from cytosol? digestive enzymes won’t function well if some leak into cytosol = don’t want to digest yourself!
25
AP Biology But sometimes cells need to die… Lysosomes can be used to kill cells when they are supposed to be destroyed (recycling an organisms organic material) some cells have to die for proper development in an organism apoptosis “auto-destruct” process lysosomes break open & kill cell ex: tadpole tail gets re-absorbed when it turns into a frog ex: loss of webbing between your fingers during fetal development ex: self-destruct of cancerous cell
26
AP Biology Describe the structure and function of the lysosome in box #5
27
AP Biology Fetal development 15 weeks 6 weeks syndactyly
28
AP Biology When things go wrong… Diseases of lysosomes are often fatal digestive enzyme not working in lysosome picks up biomolecules, but can’t digest one lysosomes fill up with undigested material grow larger & larger until disrupts cell & organ function lysosomal storage diseases more than 40 known diseases example: Tay-Sachs disease build up undigested fat in brain cells
29
AP Biology One of these is not like the others… Explain why in box #6 Lysosomes Digestion Apoptosis Enzymes 1. 2. 3.
30
AP Biology From food to making Energy Cells must convert incoming energy to forms that they can use for work mitochondria: from glucose to ATP chloroplasts: from sunlight to ATP & carbohydrates ATP = immediate energy carbohydrates = stored energy + ATP
31
AP Biology Mitochondria & Chloroplasts Important to see the similarities transform energy generate ATP double membranes = 2 membranes Internal and external membrane Lynn Margulis U of M, Amherst
32
AP Biology Membrane-bound Enzymes glucose + oxygen carbon + water + energy dioxide C 6 H 12 O 6 6O 2 6CO 2 6H 2 OATP +++ semi-autonomous organelles move, change shape, divide internal ribosomes, DNA & enzymes
33
AP Biology Membrane-bound Enzymes + water + energy glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide 6CO 2 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 6O 2 light energy +++
34
AP Biology Mitochondria are everywhere!! animal cells plant cells
35
AP Biology Compare and contrast the functions of the mitochondria and the chloroplast in box #7
36
AP Biology Cells gotta live! What jobs do cells have to do? building proteins proteins control every cell function make energy for daily life for growth build more cells growth reproduction repair
37
AP Biology Cytoskeleton Function structural support maintains shape of cell provides anchorage for organelles protein fibers microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules motility cell locomotion cilia, flagella, etc. regulation organizes structures & activities of cell
38
AP Biology actin microtubule nuclei Cytoskeleton
39
AP Biology Describe how the cytoskeleton helps the cell in box #8
40
AP Biology Centrioles Cell division in animal cells, pair of centrioles organize microtubules guide chromosomes in mitosis
41
AP Biology One of these is not like the others… explain your answer in box #9 Cytoskeleton Support Motility Reproduction 1. 2. 3.
