Cell

-The basic fundamental unit of life.


-Beginning of living structure in the body.

Cell Theory by Robert Hook

1. All living things are made up of cells.


2. All cells originate from pre-existing cells.

Nucleus

-Contains DNA (genetic material inside cell)


-Regulates Biochemical/life sustaining processes

Mitochondria
-"Powerhouse" converts glucose to ATP (energy)
-ATP = Adenosine Triphophate

-Cellular Respiration is process of production of ATP

Ribosomes
-Production or Synthesis of proteins

Centriole

-Regulates cell division (mitosis)

Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Facilitates intracellular trasport
1. Rough ER

- Contains Ribosomes


- Intracellular transport of proteins


2. Smooth ER


- No Ribosomes


- Intracellular transport of lipids

Golgi
-Makes & Packages complex molecules



i.e. glycolipids, glycoproteins, lipoproteins

Lysosomes
-Regulate and Control intracellular digestion

-Contains Hydrolytic Enzymes


-Supports Immunity (found in WBC)


-Digestion of bacteria

Peroxisome

Contains enzymes for breakdown of metabolic waste; storage of toxins. "Detoxification"

Plasma Membrane (cell membrane)

-Regulates movement of substances in/out of cell.


-Is selective: allows or doesn't allow somethings in or out.

Membrane Transport via Plasma Membrane Structure

Proteins


- Transmembrane


- Peripheral




Phospholipid Bilayer


-Phosphate (Hydrophilic - WATER - head)


-Fatty Acid (Hydrophobic - NO WATER - tail)

Fluid Mosaic Theory

Explains dynamic aspects of cell plasma membrane.




Fluid - Changes constantly; not fixed.


Mosaic - Mixture of molecules (carb's, Glycolipids, Glycoproteins, Cholesterol, Phosphlipids)

Plasma Membrane Proteins

1-Chemical Messenger/Receptor


2-ION Channels


3-Water Channels-Aquaporins


4-Adhesion Proteins

Plasma Membrane Protein Functions

1-Chemical Receptors


2-Ion Channels


3-Cell Identity Markers


4-Metabolite Channel



Chemical Receptor

Binding Site on non-steroid hormones.


ie: Insulin is a protein based hormone and cannot enter cell.

ION Channels

- Solute channels, salt, electrolyte


- Facilitates entry/exit of ions in and out of cells.


- Ion Channels are voltage-gated and activated by nerve signals.


ie: Na+, K+


Ca+2 is a voltage-gated channel

Metabolite Channel

membrane-spanning protein that has an inner pore which allows the passage of one or moresubstances

ie: water

Cell Identity Markers

-Glycoproteins (Glucose + Protein)




*Mutation leads to autoimmune disorder or tumor.


ie: lupus




Mutation = uncontrolled mitosis

Causes of Mutation

Damage of cell markers


ie: Tar in cigarettes/smoking


UV Light/Radiation

Types of Transport

Passive


-Hight to Low Concentration


-Down Gradiant/Slope


-No ATP No Protein Channel


ie: Diffusion - gas exchange in lungs


Osmosis




Active


-Low to High Concentration


-Up Gradiant/Slope


-ATP & Protein Channel Required




Facilitated Diffusion


-Same as regular diffusion (high to low)


-Speeded up my membrane Protein Channel

Vesicular Transport

- Substances are contained in vesicles




Exocitosis - export of a substance out of a cell by formation of a membrane-bound vesicle




Endocytosis - import of material into the cell by formation of a membrane-bound vesicle


ie: Phagocytosos - "Cell Eating" intake of solid


Pinocytosis - "Cell Drinking" intake of liquid
