Presentation Transcript

    1. Lecture #3 Date _________ Chapter 6A~ A Tour of the Cell

    2. Cytology: science/study of cells Light microscopy •resolving power~ measure of clarity Electron microscopy •TEM~ electron beam to study cell ultrastructure •SEM~ electron beam to study cell surfaces Cell fractionation~ cell separation; organelle study Ultracentrifuges~ cell fractionation; 130,000 rpm

    3. Cell Types: Prokaryotic Nucleoid: DNA concentration No organelles with membranes Ribosomes: protein synthesis Plasma membrane (all cells); semi-permeable Cytoplasm/cytosol (all cells)

    4. Cell size As cell size increases, the surface area to volume ratio decreases Rates of chemical exchange may then be inadequate for cell size Cell size, therefore, remains small

    5. Nucleus Genetic material... •chromatin •chromosomes •nucleolus: rRNA; ribosome synthesis Double membrane envelope with pores Protein synthesis (mRNA)

    6. Ribosomes Protein manufacture Free •cytosol; •protein function in cell Bound •endoplasmic reticulum; •membranes, organelles, and export

    7. Endomembrane system, I Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Continuous with nuclear envelope Smooth ER •no ribosomes; •synthesis of lipids, •metabolism of carbohydrates; •detoxification of drugs and poisons Rough ER •with ribosomes; •synthesis of secretory proteins (glycoproteins), membrane production

    8. Endomembrane system, II Golgi apparatus •ER products are modified, stored, and then shipped Cisternae: flattened membranous sacs trans face (shipping) & cis face (receiving) Transport vesicles

    9. Endomembrane Function

    10. Endomembrane system, III Lysosomes •sac of hydrolytic enzymes; digestion of macromolecules Phagocytosis Autophagy: recycle cell’s own organic material Tay-Sachs disease~ lipid-digestion disorder

    11. Endomembrane system, IV Vacuoles •membrane-bound sacs (larger than vesicles) Food (phagocytosis) Contractile (pump excess water) Central (storage in plants) •tonoplast membrane
