Agre and cellsin the news

Cells
• Smallest living unit• Most are microscopic
3
Discovery of Cells
• Robert Hooke (mid-1600s)– Observed sliver of cork– Saw “row of empty boxes”– Coined the term cell
4
Cell theory
• (1839)Theodor Schwann & Matthias Schleiden
“ all living things are made of cells”
• (50 yrs. later) Rudolf Virchow
“all cells come from cells”
5
Principles of Cell Theory
• All living things are made of cells
• Smallest living unit of structure and function of all organisms is the cell
• All cells arise from preexisting cells
(this principle discarded the idea of
spontaneous generation)6
Cell Size
7
Cells Have Large Surface Area-to-Volume Ratio
8
Characteristics of All Cells
• A surrounding membrane

• May modify proteins from ribosomes
39
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
• No attached ribosomes
• Has enzymes that help build molecules– Carbohydrates– Lipids
40
Golgi Apparatus
• Involved in synthesis of plant cell wall
• Packaging & shipping station of cell
41
Golgi Apparatus Function
1. Molecules come in vesicles
2. Vesicles fuse with Golgi membrane
3. Molecules may be modified by Golgi
42
Golgi Apparatus Function (Continued)
4. Molecules pinched-off in separate vesicle
5. Vesicle leaves Golgi apparatus
6. Vesicles may combine with plasma membrane to secrete contents
43
44
Lysosomes
• Contain digestive enzymes• Functions
– Aid in cell renewal– Break down old cell parts – Digests invaders
45
Vacuoles
• Membrane bound storage sacs
• More common in plants than animals
• Contents – Water– Food– wastes
46
Bacteria-Like Organelles
• Release & store energy
• Types – Mitochondria
(release energy) – Chloroplasts
(store energy)
47
Mitochondria
• Have their own DNA
• Bound by double membrane
48
Mitochondria
• Break down fuel molecules (cellular respiration)

• Release energy– ATP
49
Chloroplasts
• Derived form photosynthetic bacteria
• Solar energy capturing organelle

Molecule Movement & Cells
• Passive Transport
• Active Transport
• Endocytosis
(phagocytosis & pinocytosis)
• Exocytosis
55
Passive Transport
• No energy required
• Move due to gradient– differences in concentration, pressure, charge
• Move to equalize gradient– High moves toward low
56
Types of Passive Transport
1. Diffusion
2. Osmosis
3. Facilitated diffusion
57
Diffusion
• Molecules move to equalize concentration
58
Osmosis
• Special form of diffusion
• Fluid flows from lower solute concentration
• Often involves movement of water– Into cell– Out of cell
59
Solution Differences & Cells• solvent + solute = solution
• Hypotonic– Solutes in cell more than outside– Outside solvent will flow into cell
• Isotonic– Solutes equal inside & out of cell
• Hypertonic– Solutes greater outside cell– Fluid will flow out of cell
60
61
Facilitated Diffusion
• Differentially permeable membrane
• Channels (are specific) help molecule or ions enter or leave the cell
• Channels usually are transport proteins (aquaporins facilitate the movement of
water)• No energy is used
62
Process of Facilitated Transport
• Protein binds with molecule
• Shape of protein changes
• Molecule moves across membrane
63
Active Transport
• Molecular movement
• Requires energy (against gradient)
• Example is sodium-potassium pump
64
Cell Permeability
• Passive transport is carrier mediated– Facilitated diffusion– Solute molecule combines with a “carrier” or
transporter– Electrochemical gradients determines the
direction– Integral membrane proteins form channels
65
Crossing the Membrane
• Simple or passive diffusion
• Passive transport– Channels or pores
• Facilitated transport– Assisted by membrane-floating proteins
• Active transport pumps and carriers– ATP is required– Enzymes and reactions may be required
66
Modes of Transport
67
Carrier-Mediated Transport• Integral protein binds to the solute and undergo
a conformational change to transport the solute across the membrane
68
Channel Mediated Transport• Proteins form aqueous pores allowing specific solutes to pass across the membrane• Allow much faster transport than carrier proteins
69
Coupled Transport
• Some solutes “go along for the ride” with a carrier protien or an ionophore
Can also be a Channel coupled transport
70
• Three main mechanisms:– coupled carriers: a solute is
driven uphill compensated by a different solute being transported downhill (secondary)
– ATP-driven pump: uphill transport is powered by ATP hydrolysis (primary)
– Light-driven pump: uphill transport is powered by energy from photons (bacteriorhodopsin)
Active Transport
71
Active Transport• Energy is required
72
Endocytosis
• Movement of large material– Particles– Organisms – Large molecules
• Movement is into cells
• Types of endocytosis– bulk-phase (nonspecific)– receptor-mediated (specific)
73
Process of Endocytosis
• Plasma membrane surrounds material
• Edges of membrane meet
• Membranes fuse to form vesicle
74
Forms of Endocytosis
• Phagocytosis – cell eating
• Pinocytosis – cell drinking
75
Exocytosis
• Reverse of endocytosis
• Cell discharges material
76
Exocytosis
• Vesicle moves to cell surface
• Membrane of vesicle fuses
• Materials expelled
77
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
• Exocytosis
- membrane vesicle fuses with cell membrane, releases enclosed material to extracellular space.
• Endocytosis
- cell membrane invaginates, pinches in, creates vesicle enclosing contents

Types of Proteins
1) Enzymes – catalyzes covalent bond breakage or formation
2) Structural – collagen, elastin, keratin, etc.
3) Motility – actin, myosin, tubulin, etc.
4) Regulatory – bind to DNA to switch genes on or off
5) Storage – ovalbumin, casein, etc.
6) Hormonal – insulin, nerve growth factor (NGF), etc.
7) Receptors – hormone and neurotransmitter receptors
8) Transport – carries small molecules or irons
9) Special purpose proteins – green fluorescent protein, etc.

Peroxisome 1
• a small organelle that is present in the cytoplasm of many cells and that contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases.
81
Peroxisome 2
• A major function of the peroxisome is the breakdown of very long chain fatty acids through beta-oxidation. In animal cells, the very long fatty acids are converted to medium chain fatty acids, which are subsequently shuttled to mitochondria where they are eventually broken down to carbon dioxide and water. In yeast and plant cells, this process is exclusive for the peroxisomes.
