• All living things are made up of cells
• New cells arise from preexisting cells

Why are most cells small?
• Consider the cell surface-area-to-volume ratio:– Small cells have a larger amount of surface
area compared to the volume– An increase in surface area allows for more
nutrients to pass into the cell and wastes to exit the cell more efficiently
– There is a limit to how large a cell can be and be an efficient and metabolically active cell

Overcoming the Cell Barrier
• The cell membrane is a barrier, but: – nutrients must get in– products and wastes must get out
• Permeability determines what moves in and out of a cell:
• A membrane that: – lets nothing in or out is impermeable– lets anything pass is freely permeable– restricts movement is selectively permeable
![Page 23: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Selective Permeability
• Cell membrane is selectively permeable:– allows some materials to move freely– restricts other materials
• Restricts materials based on:– size– electrical charge– molecular shape– lipid solubility

Solutions
• All molecules are constantly in motion
• Molecules in solution move randomly
• Random motion causes mixing
![Page 27: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Concentration Gradient
• Concentration is the amount of solute (glucose) in a solvent (e.g. H20)
• Concentration gradient: – more solute in 1 part of a solvent than another
• Function = Diffusion – molecules mix randomly – solute spreads through solvent – eliminates concentration gradient– Solutes move down a concentration gradient
• From high concentration to low concentration
![Page 28: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

more solute than the insideof the cell and lead to lysis (bursting)
• Hypotonic solutions have less solute than the inside of the cell and lead to crenation (shriveling)
• Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute inside and outside the cell and thus does not affect the cell

Cytoskeleton• A series of proteins that maintain cell shape as well
as anchors and/or moves organelles in the cell• Made of 4 fibers:
– Large microtubules• Forms the foundation of the cytoskeleton• Allows the cell to change shape and assists in mobility
– Thin actin filaments • provide additional strength by attaching the membrane to the
cytoplasm• Attach integral proteins to cytoskeleton• Pairs with thick filaments of myosin for muscle movement

![Page 45: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mitochondrial Function: Power House of the Cell
• Aerobic respiration occurs on surface of cristae– takes chemical energy from food (glucose)– With the use of oxygen, Glucose is catabolized
creating CO2 waste to convert ADP into ATP
• Mitochondria supply most of cell’s energy• Have their own DNA (maternal)• Can replicate independent of the cell
Figure 3–9b
glucose + oxygen + ADP carbon dioxide + water + ATP
![Page 46: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Carbohydrate Catabolism (Metabolism)
• Carbohydrates are the primary source of cellular energy for most organisms
• Glucose is the most commonly used carbohydrate and will always be used first
• Generates ATP and other high-energy compounds by breaking down carbohydrates:glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
![Page 47: Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function. What does the cell theory tell us? A cell is the basic unit of life All living things are made up of cells New](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e1a5503460f94b0782b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Carbohydrate Catabolism (Metabolism)
Two methods for ATP productions via catabolism ofglucose
1. Cellular Respiration Aerobic reactions: - Requires oxygen to serve as the final electron acceptor
- Generate ATP in ETC
- Most efficient method of ATP production- 1 glucose generates 36 ATP
- Involves reaction performed inside the mitochondria
2. Fermentation Anaerobic reactions- Requires an organic molecule (carbon based) to serve as the final
electron acceptor- Can be done in the absence of oxygen- ATP is synthesized using glycolysis
- Less efficient, 1 glucose generates 2 ATP
- In humans, results in lactic acid

Enzymes are important for cellular respiration and many activities in the cell
• Most enzymes are proteins• Enzymes are often named for the molecule that
they work on or substrates• Enzymes are specific to what substrate they
work on• Enzymes have active sites where a substrate
binds• Enzymes are not used up in a reaction but
instead are recycled• Some enzymes are aided by non-protein
molecules called coenzymes

What happens in glycolysis – step 1 of cellular respiration?
• Glycolysis – Occurs in the cytoplasm– Breaks glucose into 2 pyruvate– NADH and 2 ATP molecules are made– Does not require oxygen

What happens in glycolysis – step 2 of cellular respiration?
• Citric acid cycle– A cyclical pathway that occurs in the
mitochondria– Produces NADH and 2 ATP– Requires oxygen

What happens in glycolysis – step 3 of cellular respiration?
• Electron transport chain– Series of molecules embedded in the
mitochondrial membrane– NADH made in steps 1 and 2 carry electrons
here– 32-34 ATP are made depending on the cell– Requires oxygen as the final electron
acceptor in the chain

Oxygen is needed as the Final Electron acceptor in the ETC
- At the end of the chain the electrons are accepted by oxygen creating an anion (O-) inside, which has a strong affinity for the cations (H+) outside.
- Chemiosmosis generates ATP:
- H+ from the outside moves toward O- on the
inside through special membrane channels
that are coupled to ATP synthase
- High-energy diffusion of H+ drives the reaction
ADP + P ATP.
- H+ combines with O- inside the mitochondria creating water (H2O)

Oxidative Phosphorylation
Figure 25–5b
Occurs on a membrane, the mitochondrial cristae, to generate most of the ATP produced from glucose

What other molecules besides glucose can be used in cellular respiration?
• Other carbohydrates
• Proteins
• Lipids
• Nucleic Acids

Lipolysis – Lipid Catabolism• Hydrolyzes triglycerides (fat storage) glycerol and three fatty acids• Glycerol:
– Glycerol pyruvic acids in the cytoplasm– Pyruvic acid catabolized through TCA in mitochondria
• Fatty Acids:– Fatty acids are catabolized– Enter the TCA as two-carbon fragments– For each two-carbon fragment of fatty acid produced by
beta-oxidation, the cell can generate 17 molecules of ATP• This is 1.5 times the energy production as with
glucose• Generates more energy but requires more oxygen
– Occurs much more slowly than equal carbohydrate metabolism

Protein and Amino Acid Catabolism
1. Protein amino acids2. Amino group (-NH2) is removed from amino acid
in process called deamination– Requires vitamin B6
3. Amino group is removed with conjunction with a hydrogen creating ammonia (NH3)– Toxic
4. Liver converts the NH3 urea– Harmless and excreted by the kidney
5. Remaining amino acid carbon chains are used at various stages in the Citric Acid Cycle to generate ATP– Amount of ATP produced varies

Protein and Amino Acid Catabolism
• Not a Practical Source of Quick Energy • Typically only used in starvation situations• Harder to break apart than carbohydrates or
lipids• Proteins are structural and functional parts of
every cell– Thus tend to only be used when no other energy
source is available• Amino acids are simply recycled by hydrolysis of
peptide bonds in one protein, to be reassembled by dehydration synthesis into the next.

Nucleic Acid Catabolism• DNA is never catabolized for energy• RNA can be broken down into:
– Simple sugars– Nitrogenous bases
• Sugars:– Metabolized in glycolysis but only the pyrimidine bases
(uracil and cytosine) can be processed in the TCA cycle• Purines (adenine and guanine) are deaminated and excreted as uric
acid making RNA metabolism very inefficient
• Typically nucleotides are simply recycled into new nucleic acid molecules and are not used for energy production
