43

cell membrane - purpose & structure

purpose - defines boundary of cell
keeps all alive by controlling what can and cannot get in and out

44

protiens - 2 types

integral - go through membrane
peripheral - on 1 side only

45

protiens uses

-channels/pores - intake nutrients - carriers/ transporters - receptor-input - cytoskeleton anchor (shape) - enzymes - cell identity markers - cell connectors - fluid mosaic membrane

46

carbohydrates

blood type

47

cholesterol

- cell movements across membrane.

48

What are passive movements

molecules spread through the membranes. Molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, down a concentration gradients. As molecules diffuse, a state of equilibrium will occur - simple diffusion. - channel mediated diffusion. - carrier mediated diffusion. - osmosis. - dialysis. - filtration.

49

passive movements - simple diffusion

- move directly through phosipolipids. - move from high concentration to low concentration via driving force. - things that can do this are fat soluable... ie. h20, 02, co2, n2, steroids

50

Passive movements - channel medinated diffusion

- requires channel/pore. - membrane has negative charge. (cations would get stuck/anions would repel)

51

Passive movements - carrier mediated diffusion

- requires a carrier. - modify substance after it crosses... ie. glucose turns to glucose 6 phosphate. ATP + Glucose -> ADP + glucose 6 phosphate

52

Passive movements - Osmosis

diffusion of water driven by solute concentration (solute-protein, sugar, salt)

53

passive movements - osmosis - hypertonic

*Osmosis* net water movement out, cell shrinks

54

passive movements - osmosis - hypotonic

*Osmosis* net water movement in, cell expands - lysis explodes

55

passive movements - isotonic

* no osmosis* same concentration - no water movement

56

passive movement - dialysis

* Osmosis * passive through membrane based on pore size - peritoneum dialysis - shunt tube - blood vessels - in abdominal cavity - as blood flows through blood vessels & filter through poresin capilaries

57

passive movement - dialyisis - filtration

* Osmosis* in kidney - movement across a membrane due to pressure difference.

58

Active methods & types

1 - pumping a. requires ATP * carrier molecule required * Moving opposite of concentration (lower to higher) * Na/K pump 2. a.

59

Membrane "Shape" Organs - types

Endocytosis * Exocytosis

60

active transport - endocytosis

moves substances into the cell by means of a vesicle.

61

active transport - endocytosis - phagocytosis

cell eating. large particles are engulfed by plasma membrane and enter the vesicle - the vesicles fuse with lysosomes, which digest the particles

62

active transport - endocytosis - pinocytosis

cell drinking. fluid and the substances dissolved in it enter the cell

63

Active transport - Endocytosis - receptor mediated

receptor molecules recognize substances to be brought into the cell

64

Active transport - Exocytosis

movement out of the cell - contains secretory vesicle - neurotransmitters & some hormones released this way. large molecules (proteins) can leave the cell even though they are too big - enclosed in vesicle then pulled to plasma membrane via cytoskeleton.

65

Role of active transport processes

a. active transport requires energy use by the membrane b. pumps - concrentrate substances on one side of membrane, as when stroing an ion inside of an organelle c. vesicle-mediated (endocytosis, exocytosis) - move large volumes of substances at once, as in secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters

66

cell - cell connections

a. tight junctions - prevents movement between cell b. desmosomes - connection that allow movement together c. gap juncions have tubes(connections) that allow direct cell to cell communication ie. heart

70

cell membrane modifications - flagellium

card image

long, whip like tail ->provides mobility ie. sperm tail

71

Ribosome process

DNA(code) -> RNA(Copy) -> Protien ribosome translate the RNA codes. Ribosomes are formed in nucleus

72

83

anabolism

build up reactions. creates A+B -> AB + H20

84

86

mitotic cell division - Mitotic base pairing - 5 phases of Mitosis

IPMAT - Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, anaphase, telophase

87

mitotic cell division - Interphase - G, S, & G2

DNA synthesis - production of cytoplasm - replication of centrosomes and DNA in anticipation of cell division

88

mitotic cell division - Interphase - DNA Synthesis - Base Pairing

DNA strand uncoils and strands come apart - strands are rebuilt in opposite directions, 1 strand strand that has telomeres. Telomers are segments at the end of DNA, that rebuild by the enzyme telomerase. T=A A=T G=C C=G -> will always be prepaired together, on opposite sides. 2 new strands are chromatids

89

mitotic cell division - Prophase

"before phase" 1. chromatin condenses to chromosomes 2. nuclear membrane disappears 3. nucleoi disappear 4. centrioles begin to move to opposite ends, spidle fibers form between them

90

"position changing phase" 1. chromosomes attach to spindle fibers 2. chromosomes align to the middle of cell

91

mitotic cell division - anaphase

"apart phase" 1. chromosomes split into chromatids 2. chromatids pulled to cellic pole by centrioles & spindle fibers. centromere of each chromosome splits to form 2 chromosomes, each consisting of a single DNA molecule 4. each chromosome is pulled toward the nearest pole to form 2 separate, but identical, pools of genetic information

92

mitotic cell division - telophase

"end phase" 1. division of cell membrane -> furrowing 2. cytokinesis -> division of cytoplasm/organelles 3. chromatid becomes chromotin 4. nuclear membrane reforms 5. nucleoli reappear 6. each daughter cells begin interphase to develop into mature cell
