Structure of Cells All start out life with: • Plasma membrane 2. Regionwhere DNA is stored 3. Cytoplasm Two types: • Prokaryotic • Eukaryotic
Eukaryotic Cells • Have a nucleus and other organelles • Eukaryotic organisms • Plants • Animals • Protistans • Fungi

TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW Hydrophobic: “water–hating” Hydrophilic: “ water – loving” Amphiphilic:These molecules have both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic side. Ex. Phospholipids.
The Plasma Membrane MAJOR FUNCTIONS : • Serves as a barrier, while maintaining integrity of cell contents, • Allows for selective transport of molecules across it…into and out of cell for purpose of ingestion and excretion and allowing important electrolytes in and out. • Play a major role in cell to cell communication as receptors are bound externally here on hormones and specialized white blood cells etc.
Examples of Membrane Proteins • Carriers- Membrane Proteins that bind to glucose, electrolytes, and transfer them to other side of membrane: use ATP • Channels- allow hydrophilic solute through membrane. Some channels have gates in response to various stimuli: ligand-regulated, voltage regulated and mechanically regulated. • Receptors-These proteins are specific for one substrate to enter the membrane ie a hormone.
A Word About Receptors • Found on plasma membrane. • Involved w/ chemical signaling • The receptor site is specific for a molecule or “pathogen” which when bound ..activates the receptor. • Molecule or pathogen is called a LIGAND • Receptors are usually transmembrane proteins: nerve- muscle junctions where ligand is neurotransmitter ( acetylcholine)
Fluid Mosaic Model • Membrane is a mosaic of • Phospholipids • Glycolipids • Sterols • Proteins • Most phospholipids and some proteins can drift through membrane
“Fluid-Mosaic Model”: Membrane has a Mixed Composition; Various Types of proteins are dispersed throughout the phospholipidbilayer
Active Vs. Passive Transport Passive Transport- Substances ( Molecules, ions, move with the concentration gradient and/or with a carrier molecule; NO ENERGY on the part of cell, is required. ( ex. Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion) Active Transport- Molecules move against the concentration gradient ENERGY (ATP) REQUIRED.
When Are Transmembrane Proteins Used To Transport? When substances are: 1) charged Or 2) too large
Different Methods of Transport Through the Plasma Membrane: Some Involve TM Proteins Figure 3.10
Facilitated Diffusion • Here the molecules use a carrier or channel protein even though they are traveling with the concentration gradient. • Molecules may either be too large or charged.
Na-K Pump: How it Works • A type of active transport. • 3 sodium ions move out of cell • 2 potassium ions move into cell. • ATP is needed as each of these ions are moving against their conc. gradient. • Mostly used in cardiac muscle and nervous tissue. Maintains Na+K gradient concentration. • Huge amount of ATP goes into this NaK pumps!
Sodium –Potassium Pump Figure 3.11
Sodium-Potassium Pump A molecule of ATP is used with each “swap of Na/K ions
INSIDE-0UT!!!GO!!! • The sodium-potassium pump (using a carrier protein) perpetuates this “flip-flopping” of charges or what is known as the “action-potential” that causes a nerve impulse.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Figure 2.19a
BULK TRANSPORT METHODS • These include: Exocytosis, Endocytosis ( Phagocytosis is an example), Pinocytosis and Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis • They all are method of ACTIVE TRANSPORT ( use ATP)
Endocytosis (phagocytosis) • This is Vessicle transport during which the entire plasma membrane folds inward allowing large particles into the cell. • Ex; the cell is ingesting microbes , perhaps?
Exocytosis • The opposite of ENDOcytosis. Large particles are leaving the cell. (digested microbes for example).
Receptor- Mediated Endocytosis Viruses are species –specific , and receptor specific, transmitted via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
The Nucleus • Control center of the cell • Contains genetic material (DNA) • Three regions • Nuclear membrane • Nucleolus • Chromatin • Some cells , like skeletal muscle are multinucleate. Figure 3.1b
Nucleolus • Dense mass of material in nucleus • May be one or more • Cluster of DNA and proteins • Materials from which ribosomal subunits are built (rRNA)stands for ribosomal RNA • Subunits must pass through nuclear pores to reach cytoplasm
Double membrane Cristae
Mitochondria • Several of the steps in cellular respiration occur in the matrixdue to its high concentration of enzymes.
RIBOSOMES • RIBOSOMES ; THE details called TRANSLATION, IS THE SUBJECT OF the next lesson . • For today, some basics: 1. they are the SITE of protein synthesis, that is where the polypeptide chain is arranged from DNA message. • 2. Ribosomes are “particles”, composed of 2 subunits; NOT membrane-bound organelles! • 3. After ribosomes get the polypeptide chain produced, some stay in cytoplasm to be modified but many go to the ER. Which ones ? ……..
THEY ARE: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi bodies Vesicles
Endomembrane System • Group of related organelles in which 1. lipids are assembled and new polypeptide chains are modified • In otherwords they serve a similar function:(2 things) • 2. Products are sorted and shipped to various destinations
Rough ER • Arranged into flattened sacs • Ribosomes on surface give it a rough appearance • Some polypeptide chains enter rough ER and are modified • Cells that specialize in secreting proteins have lots of rough ER
Smooth ER • A series of interconnected tubules • No ribosomes on surface • Lipids assembled inside tubules • Smooth ER of liver inactivates wastes, drugs • Sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle is a specialized form
What is the Job of The Rough ER? A nascent protein chain will enter on the cisternal side WHY??? YOU ASK? ROUGH ……. is for bumpy…..this means there are little bitty … RIBOSOMES. Site of initial modification of protein for proteins that are to be either 1. Secreted,2. membrane-bound OR3. destined to be part of the plasma membrane. OK….
