Slide 11 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Structural Parts Flagella Single projections extending from cell surfaces Much larger than cilia “Tails” of sperm cells are the only example of flagella in humans
13
Slide 12 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Structural Parts Nucleus Controls cell because it contains the genetic code Instructions for making proteins, which in turn determine cell structure and function Component structures include nuclear envelope Nucleoplasm, and chromatin granules 46 chromosomes contain DNA, which contains the genetic code
14
Slide 13 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Relationship of Cell Structure and Function Regulation of life processes Survival of species through reproduction of the individual Relationship of structure to function apparent in number and type of organelles seen in different cells Heart muscle cells contain many mitochondria required to produced adequate energy needed for continued contractions Flagellum of sperm cell gives motility, allowing movement of sperm through female reproductive tract, thus increasing chances for fertilization
15
Slide 14 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Passive Transport Processes Passive transport processes do not require added energy and result in movement “down a concentration gradient”
16
Slide 15 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Diffusion Substances scatter themselves evenly throughout an available space It is unnecessary to add energy to the system Movement is from high to low concentration Osmosis and dialysis are specialized examples of diffusion across a selectively permeable membrane Osmosis is diffusion of water (when some solutes cannot cross the membrane) Dialysis is diffusion of solutes Passive Transport Processes
17
Slide 16 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Passive Transport Processes Filtration Movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of membrane Responsible for urine formation
18
Slide 17 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Movements of Substances Through Cell Membranes Active transport processes occurs only in living cells, movement of substances is “up the concentration gradient” Requires energy from ATP
19
Slide 18 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Movements of Substances Through Cell Membranes Ion pumps An ion pump is protein complex in cell membrane Ion pumps use energy from ATP to move substances across cell membranes against their concentration gradients Examples: sodium-potassium pump, calcium pump Some ion pumps work with other carriers so that glucose or amino acids are transported along with ions
20
Slide 19 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Movements of Substances Through Cell Membranes Phagocytes and pinocytosis Both are active transport mechanisms because they require cell energy Phagocytosis is a protective mechanism often used to destroy bacteria Pinocytosis is used to incorporate fluids or dissolved substances into cells
21
Slide 20 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Cell Reproduction DNA structure—large molecule shaped like a spiral staircase. Sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate units comprise sides of the molecule Base pairs (adenine-thymine or guanine- cytosine) comprise “steps”; base pairs always the same but sequence of base pairs within a DNA molecule Genes dictate formation of enzymes and other proteins by ribosomes, thereby indirectly determining a cell’s structure and functions; in short, genes are hereditary determinants
22
Slide 21 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Genetic Code Genetic information—stored in base- pair sequences on genes—expressed through protein synthesis
23
Slide 22 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Genetic Code RNA molecules and protein synthesis DNA—contained in cell nucleus Protein synthesis—occurs in cytoplasm, thus genetic information must pass from the nucleus to the cytoplasm Process of transferring genetic information from nucleus to cytoplasm where proteins are produced requires completion of transcription and translation
24
Slide 23 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Genetic Code Transcription Double-stranded DNA separates to form messenger RNA and mRNA Each strand of mRNA duplicates a particular gene (base-pair sequence) from a segment of DNA mRNA molecules pass from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where they direct protein synthesis in ribosomes and ER
25
Slide 24 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Genetic Code Translation Involves synthesis of proteins in cytoplasm by ribosome Requires use of information contained in mRNA
26
Slide 25 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Cell Division Reproduction of cell involving division of the nucleus (mitosis) and the cytoplasm Period when the cell is not actively dividing is called interphase
27
Slide 26 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. DNA Replication Process by which each half of a DNA molecule becomes a whole molecule identical to the original DNA molecule; precedes mitosis
28
Slide 27 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Mitosis Process in cell division identical chromosomes (DNA molecules) to each new cell formed when the original cell divides; enables cells to reproduce their own kind; makes heredity possible
29
Slide 28 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Stages of Mitosis Prophase—first stage Chromatin granules become organized Chromosomes (pairs of linked chromatids) appear Centrioles move away from nucleus Nuclear envelope disappears, freeing genetic material Spindle fibers appear (Cont’d…)
30
Slide 29 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Stages of Mitosis Metaphase—second stage Chromosomes align across center of cell Spindle fibers attach themselves to each chromatid
31
Slide 30 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Stages of Mitosis Anaphase—third phase Centromeres break apart Separated chromatids now called chromosomes Chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of cell Cleavage furrow develops at end of anaphase
32
Slide 31 Copyright © 2004. Mosby Inc. All Rights Reserved. Stages of Mitosis Telophase—fourth stage Cell division is completed Nuclei appear in daughter cells Nuclear envelope and nucleoli appear Cytoplasm is divided (cytokinesis) Daughter cells become fully functional
