Q

Lysosome

A

Digestive compartments
Sac with hydrolytic enzymes used to digest
• The enzymes work best at pH 5 – pumps H+ in to
lower pH
• If lysosome breaks - enzymes not very strong
since pH in cell = 7
• Made by ER and Golgi

chemoheterotroph
organic compounds humans
26
Mitochondria
``` # Depends on need (muscle has many, fat has few) • Site of cellular respiration • Needs O2 • Enclosed by two membranes – Smooth outer and a folded ```
27
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate Energy gained by adding and removing phosphate
28
Chemical Equation for Cell Respiration
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O
29
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Requires chloroplasts, light, water and CO2
30
chloroplasts
Stroma, granum, thylakoid, inner membrane, outer membrane
31
Photosynthesis Equation
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
32
endosymbiosis
endosymbiosis refers to the original internalization of prokaryotes by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, resulting in the formation of the mitochondria and chloroplasts.
33
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
``` Support • Adhesion (sticking cells together) • Movement • Recognition and regulation • Contains glycoproteins on outer surface of cell ```
34
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
Mainly composed of glycoproteins and other carbohydrate-containing “fibrous “molecules in a network. • elastin • collagen
35
fibronectin
Cells are attached to the ECM by special ECM glygoproteins
36
microfilaments
Within the cytoplasm, integrins are bound to microfilaments.
37
Integrins
proteins built into the plasma membrane.inapositiontotransmitsignals between the ECM and the cytoskeleton and thus integrate changes occurring outside and inside the cell.
38
Cytoskeleton
Microtubules Microfilaments 3) Intermediate Filaments
39
Microtubules
Made of α and β tubulin and covered by plasma membrane, cyclindrical structures
40
Microtubules
Cilia structure and flagella
41
Flagella
sperm Microtubules
42
Microfilaments
Actin and Myosin filaments
43
Intermediate Filaments
``` ension bearing • Some made of keratin, each type slightly different • Fixing position of organelles • Reinforce cell shape • Protection – hair, nails and feathers ```
44
Cell-to-Cell Attachment
Cells are attached together by two proteins, | cadherins or integrins
45
Cell Junctions:
Tight Junctions: Desmosomes Gap Junction
46
Tight Junctions:
As if the cells are sewn tightly together. Any transport must be through a special molecule. Also prevent extra cellular fluid from circulating between cells
47
Desmosomes
“button like “ rivets that attach the two plasma membranes together with intermediate filaments. Very strong – used to attach your muscle fibers together to make the muscle.
48
Gap Junction
Permits materials to transfer directly from one cell to another (in plants they have Plasmodesmata) – used for communication
49
Prokaryotic
``` In Domains Bacteria and Archaea  Small  Bacteria contain a single chromosome composed of double stranded DNA – survival genes  Cell wall ```
50
Prokaryotic Genetics:
DNA not enclosed only thrown in corner called nucleoid region
51
nucleoid region
DNA in prokaryotic cells
52
Eukarytoic
Domain Eukarya  Big, Round/Squarish  Nucleus  Some Eukaryotes do not have cell walls
53
Phospholipids
When dumped into water they form micelles Amphipathic Fig 7.2 Can form a bilayer Phospholipids can move slightly Fig
54
Amphipathic
hydrophobic and hydrophilic
55
Fluid Mosaic Model:
``` proposed by Singer and Nicholson Membrane is a fluid structure  Proteins embedded in it or on it  Phospholipids  Generalized picture - membranes of different cells have different structure  Membrane is built by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)  Proteins in membrane have hydrophobic regions ```
56
Cholesterol
Helps the membrane resist changes in fluidity  Keeps phospholipids in place  Prevents the close packing of the phospholipids
57
Integral proteins
Pass into non-polar region of phospholipid layer Placement maintained by polar vs non-polar section and by cytoskeleton Some proteins can allow specific polar molecules to pass through membrane
58
Functions of proteins in the Cell Membrane
``` Transport Enzymes Receptor binding sites Cell to cell recognition Cell-to-cell anchors/attachment Cytoskeleton Anchors ```
59
Transport Across the Membrane
``` Passive: Free – no cost simple diffusion – no protein facilitated diffusion – needs a protein Active: Cost energy Needs a protein ```
