1
Cell Organelles and their Function
2
Cell Membrane Cytoplasm More on the cell membrane to come…
Semi-permeable Regulates movement in & out Cytoplasm All the material from the nucleus to the cell membrane More on the cell membrane to come…
3
Nucleus Nucleolus Chromosomes Nuclear Envelope
Control center of the cell Nucleolus Located inside the nucleus Ribosomes are made here Chromosomes DNA material seen in the nucleus Made up of Chromatin (DNA and proteins) Nuclear Envelope Encloses the nucleus See next slide for chromatin
4
Chromatin DNA wrapped around proteins
A protein Chromatin condenses to form the chromosomes
5
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes and transports proteins (Rough ER) Synthesizes lipids and steroids (Smooth ER) Golgi Apparatus Collects, modifies, sorts, and secretes cell products Vesicle Picks up molecules from golgi apparatus and transports in cell or to other cells manufactures membranes and secretory proteins . In certain leukocytes (white blood cells), the rough ER produces antibodies . In pancreatic cells, the rough ER produces insulin.
6
Ribosomes Synthesize proteins during translation Free – in cytoplasm
Bound – on rough ER
7
Lysosome Peroxisome Break down cellular waste products and debris
Rid cells of hydrogen peroxide and other toxins
8
Mitochondria Creates energy through cellular respiration
9
Centrosome In animal cells only Play a role in cell division
Help to organize cytoskeleton Animal cells have Centrioles which are paired structures within the centrosome Located near the nucleus
10
Vacuoles Central Vacuole (in plant cells only) Food vacuoles
Contractile vacuoles Holds food, water and minerals Formed when particles are taken into the cell Pump water out of cells
11
In Plant Cells Only Chloroplast (example of plastid) Cell Wall
Plastids – A double membrane bound organelle involved in the synthesis and storage of food, and is commonly found within the cells of photosynthetic organisms, like plants. Chloroplast (example of plastid) Site of photosynthesis in plants only Cell Wall Thick outer covering outside the cell membrane Protects and supports a plant cell
12
Cytoskeleton A network of protein filaments that organizes structures and activities in the cell. All help to maintain the cell shape and other specific functions See next slides
13
Components of the Cytoskeleton
Microtubules Hollow tubes made of proteins known as tubulins Main Functions Cell motility (cilia and flagella) Chromosome movements in cell division Organelle movements
14
Components of the Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments Two intertwined strands of actin (a protein) Main Functions Changes in cell shape Cytoplasmic streaming Cell motility (pseudopodia) Cell division (cleavage furrow formation)
15
Components of the Cytoskeleton
Intermediate Filaments Fibrous proteins supercoiled into thicker cables Main Functions Anchorage of nucleus and other organelles Formation of nuclear lamina
17
The Endomembrane System
A cell's endomembrane system consists of the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles and plasma membrane, all working together to transport cellular materials.
19
Cell Membrane Allows materials to move in and out of the cell.
20
Made of a phospholipid bilayer
The “fluid-mosaic model” Of an Animal Cell Made of a phospholipid bilayer Two layers of lipids (they can move. They need to be fluid to work properly). Allow certain materials to pass through dotted with proteins Proteins aide in certain molecules moving through the membrane Gen bio. Lipids and proteins only. Copy of this slide
21
Phospholipid bilayer of Cell Membrane
Water loving Water fearing The arrangement of the phospholipid bilayer allows only certain molecules to pass through the cell membrane. “head region” – likes water “tail region” - does not like water Some large molecules, like sugar Cannot “fit” through this layer Small molecules generally move through easily Also if the molecule is soluble in the “tail” region it will go through faster.
22
Cell Membrane of an Animal Cell
ECM – extracellular matrix (cells attach to this and send signals to one another. Made of protein fibers) Carbohydrate chains –assist in cell signaling Proteins-aid certain molecules moving through the membrane Cholesterol- keeps membrane fluid, from not freezing or becoming too liquid Phospholipid bilayer –allow certain materials to pass through Regeneration of cells – regrowing finger
23
How do substances move in and out of cells?
24
How Do Substances Move In and Out of Cells?
Diffusion – movement of molecules from greater concentration to lesser concentration. No Energy Required by the cell Passive Transport
25
DIFFUSION – A type of Passive Transport
26
How do substances move in and out of cells?
2. Osmosis – movement of water across a membrane from greater to lesser concentration. Examples – water into plant cell, salt on slugs, preserving meats Also passive transport (no energy needed)
27
Review of terms Solute – what is being dissolved
Solvent – What is doing the dissolving Solution – solute + solvent
28
Types of Solutions Hypertonic - higher concentration of solute
Hypotonic - lower concentration of solute Isotonic - equal concentration of solute
29
Less solute / More water More solute/less water
Hand out
30
Hand out answer
31
In a solution with lower concentration of solute (more water)
In a solution with equal concentration of solute and solvent In a solution with higher concentration of solute
32
Osmosis and animal cells
33
“Special Cell Processes” -Examples
Salt on slug E.coli Osmosis on lettuce Egg osmosis
34
Facilitated Diffusion Passive Transport No Energy required
-Molecules move from Higher concentration to Lower concentration. -Molecules are being “helped” through by proteins The molecules “glide” through, like a boat going through a channel
35
Active Transport -Requires Energy
Molecules are now moving the opposite way we have discussed. Molecules move from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Uses a transport protein Energy comes from ATP Lower concentration Review of diffusion and osmosis Higher concentration
36
Active Transport-example
The Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) pump High Na Low K High K Low Na Yahoo search sodium potassium pump - animation
37
Bulk Transport across the cell membrane require energy
Endocytosis Taking materials into the cell
38
Bulk Transport across the cell membrane require energy
Exocytosis Secreting materials (moving materials from inside the cell to outside the cell) Usually moving products
