Eukaryotic Organelles (cont’d)

Golgi complex Flattened, smooth membranes Secretory vesicles Proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum are

packaged in the Golgi complex Cisternae



Lysosomes Originate from the Golgi Catalyze proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and

carbohydrates Role in autodigestion



Peroxisomes Contain oxidative enzymes Break substances down into harmless products

membrane Participates in oxidative phosphorylation Increased inner membrane surface area

provided by cristae



Cytoskeleton “Bones and muscles” of cell Maintains the cell’s shape and internal

organization Permits movement of substances within the

cell and movement of external projections Microtubules

Cellular Metabolism

Metabolism Chemical tasks of maintaining essential cellular

functions Anabolism

• Energy using Catabolism

• Energy releasing


Adenosine Triphosphate

Created from the chemical energy contained within organic molecules

Used in synthesis of organic molecules, muscle contraction, and active transport

Stores and transfers energy


Cellular Energy

Digestion Extracellular breakdown of proteins, fats,

polysaccarides to subunits Glycolysis

Intracellular breakdown of subunits to pyruvate, then to acetyl CoA

Anaerobic Limited ATP produced


Cellular Energy (cont’d)

Citric acid cycle Also called Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid

cycle (TCA) Much ATP produced via oxidative

phosphorylation if oxygen present Waste products excreted



Oxidative phosphorylation Occurs in the mitochondria Mechanism producing energy from fats, CHO,

proteins Involves the removal of electrons from various

intermediates via a co-enzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to transfer electrons



Oxidative phosphorylation (cont’d) Anaerobic glycolysis: if oxygen not available,

CHO is converted to pyruvic acid (pyruvate) in cytoplasm with production of two ATP molecules which is insufficient for energy needs; pyruvate then converted to lactic acid

Process reverses when oxygen becomes available and lactic acid is converted back to either pyruvic acid or glucose, which moves into the mitochondria and enters the citric acid cycle


Cellular Cellular Energy (cont’d)


Membrane Transport

Cellular intake and output Cells continually take in nutrients, fluids, and

chemical messengers from the extracellular environment and expel metabolites, or the products of metabolism, and end products of lysosomal digestion


Body Fluids

Electrolytes, which are electrically charged, make up 95% of solutes Cations are positively charged and migrate

toward the negative pole (e.g., Na+) Anions are negatively charged and migrate

toward the positive pole (e.g., Cl-)


Movement of Body Fluids and Electrolytes

Water and electrolytes move across cell membranes via multiple passive (no energy required) and active (energy required) mechanisms


Membrane Transport

Passive transport (small uncharged solutes) No energy expended Diffusion of solutes

• Concentrated gradient Filtration

• Hydrostatic pressure (BP) Osmosis of water

• Osmolarity vs. osmolality Tonicity

• Isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic Passive mediated transport

• Integral or transmembrane proteins• Channel protein (ion channels) (gating)


Membrane Transport (cont’d)



Active mediated transport (active transport) Energy expended Protein transport pumps

• Na/K ATPase pump Transport by vesicle formation

• Endocytosis Pinocytosis Phagocytosis Receptor mediated Caveolae

• Exocytosis


Active Transport
