Cell BIOLOGY
Cell BIOLOGY
1. Cells-cells (all cells come from existing cells -DNA- hereditary material of all
- controll the normal activities -both plant and animal have mitochondria
-site of cellular respiration (burning glucose) -includes nuclesr memvrane connected to ER
connected to cell membrane (transport)
- double membrane
Ribosomes
-DNA
- Protein factory
- Inner membrane called Cristae
-made of proteins and rRNA
-interior called matrix
-protein factories for cell
ATP ( adenosins trioposphate
-join amino acids to make proteins
-energy currency of the body
- process called protein synthesis
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Golgi Bodies
- network of hollow membrane tubules
- stack of flattened sacs
-connects to nuclear envelope and cell membrane
-have a shipping side (transface) and receiving side
- functions in synthesis of cell products and ( cis face)
transport
-receive proteins made by ER
2 kinds of Endoplasmic reticulum : rough and smooth
-Transport vesicles with modified proteins pinch off
Rough ER the ends
- has ribosomes on its surface - look like a stack pancakes
- makes membrane proteins and protein for export - modify, sort and package molecules from ER for
our of cell storage or transport out of cell
- proteins are made by riboosmes on ER surface Golgi Animation
- they are even threaded into the interior of the - materials are transported from rough ER to golgi to
rough ER to be modified and transported the cell membrane by vesicles
Smooth ER Lysosomes
-where lipids are manufactured - contain digestive enzymes
- lacks ribosomes on its surface - break down food, bacteria, and worn out cell parts
- is attached to the end of rough er for cell
- makes cell products that are use inside the cell -programmed for CELL DEATH (AUTOLYSIS)
Functions : makes membrane lipids (steroids) - lyse (breaks open) and release enzymes to break
down and recycle parts
: regulates calcium ( muscle cells)
Lysosome Digestion
: destroys toxic substances ( liver)
-cell take in food by phagocytosis
Endomembrane system
-lysosomes digest the food and get rid of wastes
- site of ribosome
Cilia and Flagella -inner membrane modified into sacs called
thylakoids
-made of protein tubes called Microtubules
-thylakoids in stacks called GRANA and
-microtubules arranged (a+2) interconnected
-functions in moving cells in moving fluids or in small -Stroma-gel like material surrounding thylakoids
particles across the cell surface
-Contain its own DNA
Cilia
-contains enzymes and pigments for photosynthesis
-shorter and more numerous on cells
-never in animal or bacterial cells
Flagella
Photosynthesis - food making process
-longer and fewer on cells
Cell Modifications
Vacuoles
-adapting changes occurred to cell led to specialized
-fluids filled sacks for storage functions
-small or absent in animal cells 1. Apical Modification
-plant cells have a large central vacuole -modification on TOP of a cell
-no vacuoles in bacterial cells 2. Basal Modification
-in plant, they store cell soap - modification on BOTTOM of a cell
-includes storage of sugar, proteins, minerals, lipids, 3. Lateral Modification
wastes, salts, water, enzymes
- modification on SIDE of a cell
Contractile Vacuole
1. Apical Modification
-found in unicellular protist like paramecia
A. Microvilli
-regulates water intake by bumping out excess
(homeostasis) -fingerlike projections
- Keeps the cell from lying (bursting) -folded in surface area for better
absorption
Chloroplast
B. Cilia
-found only in producers (organisms containing
chlorophyll ) -composed of micro filaments
-use energy from sunlight to make own food - motile (move in rythmical wave like
(glucose)
C. Stereocilia
-energy from sun stored in the chemical bond of
sugars - non motile
B. Hemidesmosome
3. Lateral Modification
A. Tight junction
- Zonula occludens
B. Adhering Junction
C. GAP Junction
D. Desmosome
-anchoring junction
Special Modifications
A. Nerve Cells
B. Muscle cells
