  1. Cells… part II

  2. Converting Energy • Mitochondria convert sugars and fats to NRG (ATP) with the help of oxygen • Cellular respiration • Chloroplasts convert sunlight (solar NRG) to chemical NRG • Photosynthesis • Both have: • 2 membranes • Their own DNA and ribosomes • Ability to grow and reproduce independently of the cell

  3. Mitochondria • quantity in cell correlated with metabolic activity •location of cellular respiration •double phoshoplipid membranes w/ imbedded proteins - infoldings = cristae - space inside folds = matrix (contains enzymes, DNA, etc) - intermembrane space between cristae and smooth outer membrane

  4. Chloroplasts •type of plastid - contain pigments and used for storage in plants - amyloplasts store starch, chromoplasts store orange pigments, etc. •thylakoids (flattened disks) and grana (stacked thylakoids) •stroma (fluid surrounding thylakoids)- contains enzymes, DNA, etc.

  5. Peroxisomes • Single membrane • Don’t bud from endomembrane system like lysosomes • Metabolism of fatty acids; detoxification of alcohol (liver) • Creates H2O2 as a byproduct of detoxification • Hydrogen peroxide then converted to water and oxygen by enzymes

  6. The Cytoskeleton • Fibrous network in cytoplasm • Support for organelles • Cell motility through interaction w/ motor proteins • Biochemical regulation- sending of mechanical signals

  7. Components of the Cytoskeleton • Microtubules: •thickest •tubulin protein •shape, support, transport, chromosome separation • centrosomes, centrioles, cilia, and flagella • Microfilaments : •thinnest; •actin protein filaments; •motility, cell division, shape •includes actin and myosin • Intermediate filaments: • •middle diameter • •keratin; • •shape, nucleus anchorage • • nuclear lamina and cell framework

  8. Centrosomes/centrioles • Type of microtubule • Centrosome: region near nucleus • Centrioles: 9 sets of triplet microtubules in a ring; used in cell replication; only in animal cells

  9. Cilia/flagella • Locomotive appendages • Ultrastructure: “9+2” •9 doublets of microtubules in a ring •2 single microtubules in center •connected by radial spokes • anchored to a cell by basal body • Move using dynein protein

  10. Dynein “walking” • Responsible for movement of cilia and flagella • Arms of microtubules “walk” along the adjacent ones, causing a wave-like motion

  11. Microfilament Movement Thin strands of actin and thicker strands of myosin allow: • Muscles to contract • Amoebas to move w/ pseudopodia • Cytoplasm to “stream” in plant cells

  12. Cell Wall • Only in plant cells • primary cell wall produced first • middle lamella of pectin (polysaccharide) forms later • holds cells together • some plants have a secondary cell wall • strong durable matrix • wood • between plasma membrane and primary wall

  13. Extracellular matrix (ECM) • Glycoproteins • proteins covalently bonded to carbohydrate • Collagen • 50% of protein in human body • embedded in proteoglycan (another glycoprotein-95% carbohydrate) • Fibronectins • bind to receptor proteins in plasma membrane called integrins • cell communication

  14. Intracellular Junctions PLANTS: • Plasmodesmata: cell wall perforations; water and solute passage in plants ANIMALS: • Tight junctions~ fusion of neighboring cells; prevents leakage between cells • Desmosomes~ riveted, anchoring junction; strong sheets of cells • Gap junctions~ cytoplasmic channels; allows passage of materials or current between cells
