Part 2: The Living Cell
Cells
Review
Organisms are made of
, which are mostly
small
to maintain a high surface-to-
ratio for exchange between the environment and the semifluid
.
Microscopes
have
increased
to visualize the microscopic cells.
The plasma
that encloses all cells is a fluid
consisting of a
phospholipid
in which
proteins
are embedded.
Prokaryotic
cells lack nuclei or other membrane-bound
and are usually encased in a rigid
cell
.
Eukaryotic cells contain
and can be categorized into two main types:
cells
and
cells.
The
contains the cell's genetic material
and serves as the command and control
center.
The
system
is a transport system made of interior membranes that includes the
endoplasmic
, the
complex,
and
lysosomes.
and
are prokaryote-like organelles that appear to be ancient
that formed
relationships.
The
mitochondrion
is called the powerhouse of the cell because it is the site of
metabolism, providing energy for the cell.
The
chloroplast
is the site of
and are present in plants and algal cells.
The interior of the cell contains a
network
of protein fibers, called the
, that provides support and mobility for the cell.
Centrioles
anchor and assemble
in animal cells.
Cilia
and
are locomotor appendages that propel cells through the environment.
Molecular
move vesicles along
tracks with the motor proteins
and
.
Central
are storage centers in plant cells.
Plants have
cell
that function to support and protect the cell.
Animal cells lack cell walls but contain an outer layer of
matrix.
Materials pass into and out of the cell passively
through
and
.
Substances
dissolved
in liquid (solution) are called
.
A
(hypertonic) solution contains higher concentration of solutes than inside the cell, and water moves
of the cell.
A
(hypotonic) solution contains lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell, and water
moves
the cell.
An
solution contains equal concentration of solutes outside the cell as inside the cell.
Large substances move into and out of the cell
through
bulk transport mechanisms of
and
,
respectively,
without crossing the plasma
membrane.
Cell membranes contain protein channels that allow
permeability: the transport of specific materials across the membrane.
Facilitated
is driven by the concentration gradient, transporting substances
their concentration gradient through a
protein.
transport requires energy to move substances
(against) concentration gradients through a protein; examples include
the
-potassium
pump
and
the
pump.
