THE CYTOSKELETON The cell’s internal skeleton helps organize its structure and activities • network of protein fibers Figure 4.17A
Intermediate filaments reinforce the cell and anchor certain organelles • Microtubules • give the cell rigidity • provide anchors for organelles • act as tracks for organelle movement • Microfilaments of actin enable cells to change shape and move

How do cilia and flagella move? • A cilia or flagellum is composed of a core of microtubules wrapped in plasma membrane • Eukaryotes have “9+2” structure Cilia and flagella move when microtubules bend

Cell surfaces protect, support, and join cells Surfaces allow exchange of signals and molecules. • Plant cells connect by plasmodesmata
Walls of two adjacent plant cells Vacuole PLASMODESMATA Layers of one plant cell wall Cytoplasm Plasma membrane Figure 4.19A
Animal cells - extracellular matrix • sticky layer of glycoproteins • binds cells together in tissues • can also protect and support cells
Anchoring junctions link animal cells • Gap junctions allow substances to flow from cell to cell • Tight junctions can bind cells together into leakproof sheets TIGHTJUNCTION ANCHORING JUNCTION GAP JUNCTION Plasma membranes ofadjacent cells Extracellularmatrix Figure 4.19B
Eukaryotic organelles fall into 4 functional groups • 1. Manufacture and transport – dependent on network of membranes • Nucleus • Ribosomes • Rough ER • Smooth ER • Golgi apparatus
2. Breakdown – all single-membrane sacs • Lysosomes (in animals, some protists) • Peroxisomes • Vacuoles (plants)
3. Energy Processing – involves extensive membranes embedded with enzymes • Chloroplasts • Mitochondria
4. Support, Movement, Communication • Cytoskeleton – includes cilia, flagella, filaments, microtubules • Cell walls • Extracellular matrix • Cell junctions
What do these have in common? • HIV infection • Transplanted organs • Communication between neurons • Drug addiction • Cystic fibrosis • hypercholesteremia
Membranes organize the chemical activities of cells • selectively permeable • hold teams of enzymes Cytoplasm Figure 5.10
Plasma membrane • Contact between cell and environment • Keeps useful materials inside and harmful stuff outside • Allows transport, communication in both directions
Plasma membrane components • Phospholipid bilayer • Cholesterol • Proteins • Glycocalyx

THE PLASMA MEMBRANE phospholipids cholesterol integral protein cytoskeleton peripheral protein Cholesterol blocks some small molecules, adds fluidity
Membrane Proteins • span entire membrane or lie on either side • Purposes • Structural Support • Recognition • Communication • Transport
Glycocalyx • Composed of sugars protruding from lipids and proteins • Functions • Binding sites for proteins • Lubricate cells. • Stick cells down.
Some proteins function as receptors for chemical messages from other cells • The binding of a messenger to a receptor may trigger signal transduction • Many membrane proteins are enzymes Messenger molecule Receptor Activated molecule Enzyme activity Signal transduction Figure 5.13

Diffusion and Gradients • Diffusion = movement of molecules from region of higher to lower concentration. • Osmosis = diffusion of water across a membrane
Molecule of dye Membrane EQUILIBRIUM • In passive transport, substances diffuse through membranes without work by the cell EQUILIBRIUM Figure 5.14A & B

Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms osmoregulation = control of water balance • Osmosis causes cells to shrink in a hypertonic solution and swell in a hypotonic solution

Passive transport = diffusion across membranes • Small nonpolar molecules - simple diffusion • Many molecules pass through protein pores by facilitated diffusion Solutemolecule Transportprotein Figure 5.17
Active transport • transport proteins needed • against a concentration gradient • requires energy (ATP)
