Actin Microfilaments two gently twisted strands of actin subunits – long but only 7nm in diameter – maintain shape of the cell – bearing tension (pull) rather than resistance (push) – instrumental in major changes of cell shape such as Pseudopodia muscle contractions cleavage that occurs during cell division.
9
Tubulin - Microtubules The microtubule subunits wind around in a continuously growing strand and can be added to lengthen the hollow tube that is formed – 25nm in diameter – Hollow tube part is 15 nm in diameter used in cell motility by flagella and cilia Maintains the shape of a cell by resisting compression used to move around items inside the cell, such as organelles or chromosomes during cell division.

13
Intermediate Filaments Keratin protein fibers – arranged in cords of differing diameters of 8-12nm (depending on the function in the cell) Serve as permanent structures, unlike the microtubules and microfilaments – part of a permanent scaffolding – serve to maintain rigid cell shape – anchor organelles in fixed positions when necessary the nucleus is fixed in a position with rigid intermediate filaments
16
Name the three types of structures which make up the cytoskeleton. – Microtubules – Microfilaments – Intermediate filaments
17
Describe the differences in size between microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments.
18
Components of the Cytoskeleton – Microtubules are the thickest of the three components of the cytoskeleton – Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are the thinnest components – Intermediate filaments are fibers with diameters in a middle range Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Centrosomes and Centrioles In many cells, microtubules grow out from a centrosome near the nucleus The centrosome is a “microtubule-organizing center” In animal cells, the centrosome has a pair of centrioles, each with nine triplets of microtubules arranged in a ring Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Cilia and Flagella Microtubules control the beating of cilia and flagella Cilia and flagella differ in their beating patterns Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

27
Cilia and flagella share a common ultrastructure: – A core of microtubules sheathed by the plasma membrane – A basal body that anchors the cilium or flagellum – A motor protein called dynein, which drives the bending movements of a cilium or flagellum Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

29
How dynein “walking” moves flagella and cilia: − Dynein arms alternately grab, move, and release the outer microtubules – Protein cross-links limit sliding – Forces exerted by dynein arms cause doublets to curve, bending the cilium or flagellum Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Microfilaments that function in cellular motility contain the protein myosin in addition to actin In muscle cells, thousands of actin filaments are arranged parallel to one another Thicker filaments composed of myosin interdigitate with the thinner actin fibers Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Extracellular components and connections between cells help coordinate cellular activities Most cells synthesize and secrete materials that are external to the plasma membrane These extracellular structures include: – Cell walls of plants – The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal cells – Intercellular junctions Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
41
Cell Walls of Plants cell wall – an extracellular structure that distinguishes plant cells from animal cells – Prokaryotes, fungi, and some protists also have cell walls – protects the plant cell, maintains its shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water – Plant cell walls are made of cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharides and protein Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
42
Plant cell walls may have multiple layers: – Primary cell wall: relatively thin and flexible – Middle lamella: thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells – Secondary cell wall (in some cells): added between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall Plasmodesmata are channels between adjacent plant cells Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

The Extracellular Matrix (ECM) of Animal Cells Animal cells lack cell walls but – covered by an elaborate extracellular matrix (ECM) – made up of glycoproteins such as collagen, proteoglycans, and fibronectin bind to receptor proteins in the plasma membrane called integrins Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Intercellular Junctions Neighboring cells in tissues, organs, or organ systems often adhere, interact, and communicate through direct physical contact Intercellular junctions facilitate this contact There are several types of intercellular junctions – Plasmodesmata – Tight junctions – Desmosomes – Gap junctions Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
50
Plasmodesmata in Plant Cells Plasmodesmata – channels that perforate plant cell walls – water and small solutes (and sometimes proteins and RNA) can pass from cell to cell Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Tight Junctions, Desmosomes, and Gap Junctions in Animal Cells At tight junctions – membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid Desmosomes – (anchoring junctions) fasten cells together into strong sheets Gap junctions – (communicating junctions) provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

The Cell: A Living Unit Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts Cells rely on the integration of structures and organelles in order to function For example, a macrophage’s ability to destroy bacteria involves the whole cell, coordinating components such as the cytoskeleton, lysosomes, and plasma membrane Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

66
How might cells from various parts of the body differ in the number and types of cellular organelles they contain due to their specific function?
67
stomach cell – rough ER for secretion muscle cell – mitochondria for ATP liver storage cell – vacuoles for storage Liver detoxification cell – peroxisomes and smooth ER to break down toxins Adipose cell – vacuoles for storage white blood cell – lysosomes to break down engulfed pathogens mesophyll cell—plant leaf cell – chloroplasts for photosynthesis potato cell – vacuoles for starch storage
68
Recycling Cells are wonderful at recycling! – the endomembrane system cycles phospholipids – lysosomes, peroxisomes and the smooth ER break down macromolecules to component parts and reassemble them – the cytoskeleton constant flow of assembling and de-assembling subunits
69
Why are cells so efficient at recycling? Limited resources limited energy efficiency
