Resource summary
Cell Structure, Metabolism & Transport
Cell Structure
Cell Membrane
surrounds cell and fills outer boundary
made up of a double layer of lipid molecules and proteins
Cytoplasm
thick fluid, fills inside of cell
Organelles
Golgi Body
stack of flattened channels; packages proteins for secretion from the cell
Mitochondria
'powerhouses' of the cell
working organelles that keep the cell full of energy
Nucleus
large organelle, contains DNA
Lysosomes
break down materials that are taken into cell, break down worn-out organelles
Centrioles
located near nucleus, involved in cell division
Endoplasmic reticulum
forms channels through cytoplasm, used for storage, support, synthesis and transport within the cell
rough ER contains ribosomes attached to outside of membrane
Ribosomes
amino acids joined together at ribosomes to make proteins
Cytoskeleton
assists in cell movement, protein fibres
Structure of Cell Membrane
fluid mosaic model
phospholipid bilayer; main structure
contains hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads and tails
cholestrol and protein molecules embedded in phopholipid bilayer
channel proteins, pore that allows ions, water and small molecules to pass through
Types of Transport
Diffusion
passive, high conc -> low conc
substances: alcohol, steriods, fat-soluble substances, O2, CO2
results in random movement of particles
Osmosis
passive, diffusion of water, high conc -> low conc
important for living cells, results in osmotic pressure
Carrier- Mediated
carrier proteins bind to molecules for transport, proteins are specific
can become saturated -> max rate of transport
carrier proteins can be regulated by hormones
Facilitated-Diffusion
passive; still diffusion, high -> low conc
substances: glucose, amino acids
Active Transport
needs energy, happens against conc. gradient, low -> high conc
substances: glucose, certain ions, amino acids
Vesicular Transport
always active, needs energy as vesicles (memranous bags) need to be built
Endocytosis (into cell) -> cholestrol, iron ions
Pinocytosis (liquids) Phagocytosis (solids - cell debris, microrganisms)
Exocytosis (out of cell), contents of vesicles are pushed out through cell membrane
mucus, enzymes, breastmilk
Tissues
Epithilium
covers and lines organs/hollow organs, ducts
location: outer layer of skin, lining of stomach, covering of heart
Connective
provides support and helps hold all body parts together
location: bone, ligaments & tendons, fat storage, tissue, cartilage
non-cellular material - matrix, cells not close together
Muscular
responds to a stimulus by contracting, becoming shorter
skeletal (voluntary, striated), attaches to bones
involuntary (smooth, non-striated), iris, uterus, stomach, intestines, walls of blood vessels
Nervous
when part of a neuron is stimulated messages are carried along these projections
location: brain, spinal cord & nerves
Cell Metabolism
Anabolism - needs energy, e.g Protein synthesis
Catabolism - releases energy, e.g Cellular respiration
also known as Synthesis
Organic Compounds
Carbohydrates
main source of energy, contains C, H, O2
simple unit: Monosaccharides (glucose), Disachharides (lactose)
complex unit: Polysaccharides (starch, glycogen)
Proteins
enzymes and structural materials, brokendown for energy, contains C, H, O2, N - often P, S
simple unit: Amino acids (glycine, alanine), Peptides (dipeptide)
complex unit: all Enzymes, Proteins contain 100+ Amino acids
Lipids
store energy, phopholipid bilayer, steriods, contains C, H, O2
simple unit: Glycerol, Fatty acids
complex unit: Triglyceride
Nucleic Acids
RNA, DNA, large molecules, contains C,H, O2, N ,P, made of nucleotides
simple unit: RNA
complex unit: DNA
Cellular Respiration
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
ATP/ADP
tranporter of energy, Adenosine Triphosphate, continually recycled
formed when energy releases, Adenosine Diphophate can be reused to store energy from Cellular Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration
respiration that does not require energy, allows cells to produce energy when no oxygen
glucose -> lactic acid + energy
Aerobic Respiration
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
requires oxygen
