Cell theory?
2 Types of Cells
Sex Cells
Somatic Cells
Sex cells (germ cells):
reproductive cells
male sperm
female oocytes (eggs)
Difference?
Organelle Functions
Organelle Functions
Phospholipid Bilayer
Double layer of phospholipid molecules:
hydrophilic headstoward watery environment,
both sides
hydrophobic fatty-acid tailsinside membrane
barrier to ions and water soluble compounds
Membrane Proteins
Integral proteins:
within the membrane
Peripheral proteins:
inner or outer surface of the membrane
5. Carrier proteins:
transport specific solutes through membrane
6. Channels:
regulate water flow and solutes through membrane
Membrane Carbohydrates
Proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids:
extend outside cell membrane
form sticky sugar coat (glycocalyx)
Cytoplasm
All materials inside the cell and outside the
nucleus:
cytosol (fluid):
dissolved materials:
nutrients, ions, proteins, and waste products
organelles:
structures with specific functions
Types of Organelles
Nonmembranous organelles:
Do not possess a membrane
In direct contact with cytosol
Membranous organelles:
covered with plasma membrane
isolated from cytosol
cilia
ribosomes
proteasomes
The Cytoskeleton
Intermediate
Mid-sized
durable (collagen)
strengthen cell and maintain shape
stabilize organelles
stabilize cell position
Microtubules
Large, hollow tubes of
tubulin protein:
attach to centrosome
strengthen cell and anchor
organelles
change cell shape
move vesicles within cell
form spindle apparatus
Microvilli
Increase surface area for absorption
Attach to cytoskeleton
Cilia
Cilia move fluids across the
cell surface
Ribosomes
Build polypeptides in protein
synthesis
Two types:
free ribosomes in cytoplasm:
proteins for cell
Proteasomes
Contain enzymes (proteases)
Disassemble damaged proteins for recycling
Membranous Organelles
6 membranous organelles:
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
golgi apparatus
lysosomes
peroxisomes
mitochondria
nucleus
Functions of ER
Synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids
Storage of synthesized molecules and materials
Transport of materials within the ER
Detoxification of drugs or toxins
Golgi Apparatus
Vesicles enter forming face and exit maturing face
Secretory vesicles:
modify and package products
for exocytosis
Membrane renewal
vesicles:
add or remove membrane
components
Transport vesicles:
Carry materials to and
from Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
Powerful enzymecontaining vesicles:
lyso = dissolve,
soma = body
Exocytosis
Primary lysosome:
formed by Golgi
and inactive
enzymes
Secondary
lysosome:
lysosome fused
with damaged
organelle
digestive
enzymes
activated
toxic chemicals
isolated
Lysosome Functions
Clean up inside cells:
break down large molecules
attack bacteria
recycle damaged organelles
ejects wastes by exocytosis
Peroxisomes
Are enzyme-containing vesicles:
break down fatty acids, organic compounds
produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
replicate by division
Mitochondria
Structure
Mitochondrial Function
takes chemical energy from food (glucose)
produces energy molecule ATP (Aerobic
metabolism)
Figure 39b
Nucleus
Is the cells control center
- largest organelle
Nuclear envelope:
double membrane
around the nucleus
Nuclear pores:
communication
passages
Nucleoplasm:
fluid containing ions, enzymes, nucleotides,
and some RNA
Nuclear matrix:
support filaments
Nucleoli in Nucleus
Are related to protein production
Are made of RNA, enzymes, and histones
Synthesize rRNA and ribosomal subunits
KEY CONCEPT
Cells: basic structural and functional
units of life
respond to their environment
maintain homeostasis at the cellular level
modify structure and function over time
Organization of DNA
Nucleosomes:
DNA coiled around
histones
Chromatin:
loosely coiled DNA
(cells not dividing)
Chromosomes:
tightly coiled DNA
(cells dividing)
Figure 311
Gene:
The instructions for making a single protein
Genetic Code
The chemical language of DNA instructions:
sequence of bases (A, T, C, G)
triplet code:
3 bases = 1 amino acid
KEY CONCEPT
The nucleus contains chromosomes
Chromosomes contain DNA
DNA stores genetic instructions for
proteins
Proteins determine cell structure and
function
Protein Synthesis
Transcription:
copies instructions from DNA to mRNA (in nucleus)
Translation:
ribosome reads code from mRNA (in cytoplasm)
assembles amino acids into polypeptide chain
Processing:
by RER and Golgi apparatus produces protein
problem
- DNA contains genetic template" for
proteins.
- DNA is found in the nucleus
- Protein synthesis occurs in the
cytoplasm - ribosome.
- "Genetic information" must be
transferred to the cytoplasm where
proteins are synthesized.
Steps of Transcription
1. DNA unwinds
2. One side of DNA "codes for a
protein"
3. Genetic code of DNA is a triplet
code of 3 nucleotides or bases
4. Each triplet is specific for the
coding of a single amino acid

Steps in Translation
1. mRNA attaches to the ribosome
2. tRNA's attach to free amino acids
in the cytoplasmic "pool" of amino
acids
3. tRNA carries its specific amino
acid to the ribosome
Translation (cont.)
4. tRNA "delivers" its amino acid based on
complementary pairing of a triplet code
(anticodon) with the triplet code (codon) of
the mRNA.
5. Enzyme "hooks" the amino acid to the last
one in the chain forming a peptide bond.
6. Protein chain continues to grow as each
tRNA brings in its amino acid and adds it
to the chain. - This is translation!!
