Agenda • Administrative Stuff • The Cell as a Bag • Membranes • The Nucleus • The Transport System • Endoplasmic Reticulum • Golgi Apparatus • Vesicles • Lysosomes • Cytoskeleton • Wrap-up
Index Card: Make a Guess! Which of the following do allliving cells have? The answer may be more than one of them! A) A cell membrane B) Mitochondria C) A nucleus D) DNA and RNA E) Proteins
The Cell: A Biological Bag Cells are lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates in a bag, or plasma membrane!
Prokaryotes: Bags of Cytoplasm Parts that we share with prokaryotes (bacteria) Parts that bacteria have, but we don’t. (We may have similar parts, though.)
Organelles: Bags with Functions Bacteria don’t have organelles… so why do we need them? Write a guess on your index card.
What’s the Bag Made of? Remember fatty lipids? Cell membranes are similar! Which end is hydrophilic?
Two layers of lipids! Phospholipidbilayer + x 2 layers! Proteins can act as channels, signal receivers, and so on!
The Nucleus: A Bag of Chromosomes The control center of eukaryotic cells – holds the DNA. Eukaryotic = having a nucleus and organelles The nucleus is directly connected to lots of other bags inside the cell!
Two Ideas… “A cell in your stomach has the same DNA and chromosomes as a cell in your brain.” “A cell in your stomach has different DNA and chromosomes from a cell in your brain. Which is true? Write a guess on your card.
It’s All the Same DNA! A chromosome is a package of DNA wrapped around proteins. All human cells (except sex cells) have 46 chromosomes in the nucleus! Chromatin = fiber made of DNA + protein.
Why Cells Are Different from Each Other The Central Dogma of Biology: DNA makes RNA makes protein Different nuclei in your body have the same DNA, but make different RNA, which makes different proteins!
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): The Crumpled Bag that Connects Parts of the Cell Rough ER: Has ribosomesthat translate RNA into protein Smooth ER: Has proteins (enzymes) that make lipids and detoxify poisons
Vesicles, Lysosomes, and Vacuoles: More Bags Lysosomes: Bags of acid and digestive enzymes Transport vesicles: Bags to move molecules around Vacuoles: Big bags for storage or water pumping.
The Golgi Apparatus: A Shipping and Receiving Center for Bags
The Cytoskeleton Helps Support and Moves the Bags Made of many kinds of fiber! Example: Microtubules (marked in yellow) act as a kind of “cellular railroad.”
