Cell Theory

3.

 

 Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells: (fill in blanks)
 

 

 

No nucleus

 

 

Membrane-bound structures (organelles)

1-10 um

 

 

Evolved 1.5 BYA

 

 

Cell Size

Cells must be small enough to function efficiently, and be able to:

·        

·        

 

The exchange of these materials is limited by the cell’s ____________________________. When a cell’s __________ ________________, its ____________________________ at a ___________________________. (Cube example)

 

SPECIALIZED INTERNAL STRUCTURES (ORGANELLES)

 

·       Cell (Plasma) Membrane

 

 

Cell Membrane Structure: ____________ + ___________ + _______________ - “__________________________” – Proteins are embedded in, but still able to move along, the lipid layer which is in a fluid state. Carbs branch from the external surface of the membrane. (fig 5-6)

 

 

Membrane Proteins:

o     Transport proteins

o     Receptor Proteins

o     Enzymes

o     Marker Proteins:

 

·       Nucleus

Nuclear Envelope – A double, selectively permeable membrane with pores that ______________________ ___________________________________________.

 

Nucleolus

 

 

·       Cytoplasm

Chemical rxns occur & organelles exist here

 

·       Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

 

*

*

 

       Rough ER: Contains _____________ on surface

       Smooth ER: __________________

·       Ribosomes

 

·       Golgi Bodies

 

 

 

Path of proteins in cell:

 

Ribosome ® ER ® pinched off (vesicle) ® Golgi ® leaves cell

 

·       Lysosomes – Small saclike structures containing digestive enzymes.

 

 

·       Mitochondria – “Powerhouse” of cell. Kidney-shaped, surrounded by double membranes. Inner membrane is highly folded forming Cristae, providing large surface area for biochemical rxns.

Skeleton; _________________________

*Found in centrioles, cilia, flagella

*Composed of protein called _______________

 

Contain protein called ___________.

*

*

 

·       Centrioles

·       Cilia & Flagella

 

·       Vacuoles -  Fluid filled organelles enclosed by membrane;

 

 ·       Plastids – Double membrane-bound organelles in plant cells only.

Leucoplasts:

 

Chloroplasts:

 

__________ – A system of photosynthetic membranes arranged in stacks; contain chlorophyll.

__________ – Protein-containing material that fills the rest of the chloroplast

 

·       Cell Wall

 

THEORY OF ENDOSYMBIOSIS - 

  

______________________ – One organism lives in or on another organism; both organisms benefit from relationship.

MAINTAINING HOMEOSTASIS WITHIN THE CELL

 

 

Selective Permeability of Cell Membrane

·         

 

·         

 

 

Passive Transport

  

1.  Diffusion: Random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

·       

 

·       

 

·      Ex:

·      CO2, O2

 

2.  Facilitated Diffusion:

 

 

·       

 

·      Speeds up movement across a membrane

·      Ex:

 

3.  Osmosis:

 

 

______________________– The increase in pressure resulting from the flow of water in osmosis

 

·      _________________________ contains the same amount of solute as the cell placed in it (equilibrium)

·      _________________________ contains less solute than the cell placed in it (__________ ® __________)

Turgor – pressure that develops in a plant cell due to osmosis

·      _______________________ contains more solute than the cell placed in it (__________ ® __________)

Plasmolysis – shrinking of cytoplasm due to osmosis

 

 

Active Transport

 

 

·       Protein Pumps

 

·       Membrane Vesicle Transport

 

 

Endocytosis

       Pinocytosis

       Phagocytosis

Exocytosis

 

 

ORGANIZATION OF CELLS IN ORGANISMS

  

Unicellular Organisms

·        

·       Vary in size & complexity

·       Ex:

·       _________________________ – A few -> many cells loosely attached to one another, showing little or no specialization among themselves

 

 

Multicellular Organisms

·        

 

·        

 

Hierarchy of Cells:

Tissues

  

 

Structure

Function

Location

Epithelial

(skin, glands)

 

 

 

 

 

Connective

(bone, fat, cartilage)

 

 

 

 

 

Blood

 

 

 

 

 

Nerve

 

 

 

 

 

Muscle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Organs

 

·       Ex: _________________ (nerves, muscles, blood vessels that work together)

 

 

Organ System

 

 

·       Ex: _____________________ = mouth + esophagus + stomach + intestines + pancreas + liver…etc.
