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 |
