• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
PCR is used to amplify a sequence of DNA using a pair of oligonucleotide primers each complementary to one end of the DNA target sequence.
These are extended towards each other by a thermostable DNA polymerase in a reaction cycle of three steps:
1. Denaturation
2. Primer annealing
3. Polymerization

Cell Theory
Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke.
Early studies of cells were conducted by
- Mathias Schleiden (1838)
- Theodor Schwann (1839)
Schleiden and Schwann proposed the Cell Theory.
![Page 25: the cell](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dbeb5d8b42a8a188b4e55/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Cell Theory
Cell Theory
1. All organisms are composed of cells.
2. Cells are the smallest living things.
3. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
All cells today represent a continuous line of descent from the first living cells.
![Page 26: the cell](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dbeb5d8b42a8a188b4e55/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Cell Theory
Cell size is limited.
-As cell size increases, it takes longer for material to diffuse from the cell membrane to the interior of the cell.
Surface area-to-volume ratio: as a cell increases in size, the volume increases 10x faster than the surface area
![Page 27: the cell](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dbeb5d8b42a8a188b4e55/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Diffusion
• Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (which we call “down the concentration gradient”)
• Random movement of molecules fills the available space.
• Does not require cellular energy in the form of ATP.

Osmosis and Tonicity
Osmosis is diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.In cells, we usually compare water and salt concentrations inside & outside the cell.
Isotonic is salt concentrations same on both sides of the membrane
Hypotonic (“less salty”): one side is less salty than the other.
Hypertonic (“very salty”): one side is more salty than the other.

Examples Using Red Blood Cells
Saltier outside than inside: water leaves cells, shriveling them.
Saltier inside than outside: water enters cells, swelling them, sometimes to bursting.
Salt conc. same inside and out. Normal for cells. No net movement of water.

TRANSPORT ACROSS MEMBRANES

Types of Transport Across Membranes
1. Passive Transport substances move down their concentration gradient
2. Facilitated Diffusion— protein-assisted diffusion
3. Active Transport— substances move against their concentration gradient; requires energy

Passive Transport
• Diffusion across a membrane down the concentration gradient
• Does not require cellular energy (ATP)
• Usually pass through the lipid bilayer– Oxygen– Carbon dioxide– Small hydrocarbons (also hydrophobic)

Facilitated TransportPassive transported assisted by proteins Goes down concentration gradient and so
does not require energy.For molecules that cannot easily pass
through lipid bilayer: ◦H2O◦ ions◦glucose, etc.
Osmosis with water occurs by facilitated transport using the protein aquaporin.

Channel Proteins
Channel proteins are 1 of 2 types of integral membrane proteins in facilitated diffusion.◦Often made of 3 or more subunits (polypeptides)
grouped together.◦Have hydrophilic channel in the middle for
molecules to pass through.
◦Specific for type of molecule: H2O, Ca++, etc.
◦Many are gated and require a chemical or electrical stimulus to open the channel as in nerve cells (neurons).

Carrier Proteins
• Carrier proteins are facilitated transport proteins that bring molecules across the membrane by changing shape in a rocking motion.

Active Transport
• Carries molecules against the concentration gradient
• Requires energy usually as ATP.
Ion pumps are active transport pumpsEstablish different concentrations of anions and cations across membrane so set up a charge across the membrane or membrane potential.
