Ch 4 & 5 Flashcards
Protocell
1st cell membrane on earth, made from ring of lipids (liposomes) allowing materials to diffuse
Endosymbiosis
organism within another, ancestor of eu cells engulfed pro cell forming endosymbiotic relationship with host, merge to eu cell with mitochondria
Andreas Schimper Theory
Plastids in plants make & store food, chloroplast is example, in 1967 proposed mitochondria & flagella are endosymbiotic bodies
Limits of cell size
small SA:V- rate decreases and cell dies
larger SA:V- rate increases & efficient
Prokaryotic cells
Bacteria, archaea
No nucleus (DNA unbound in nucleoid/prim & plasmid/seco)
No membrane bound organelles
Cytoplasm in plasma membrane
Eukaryotic cells
DNA in nucleus with envelope
Membrane bound organelles
Cytoplasm b/w plasma membrane & nucleus
Membranes
Made of amphipathic lipids & proteins held by phobic interactions
Fluidity in membranes
Lipids shift fast proteins shift slow
cholesterol anchors membranes
reduces fluidity at moderate temps & resists solidification at low temps
Temp on fluidity
Membrane remains fluid with lower temp with unsaturated hydrocarbon tails (double bond with bend)
Proteins in cell membrane
Integral/intrinsic- all the way through
Peripheral/extrinsic- one side
Protein in membranes function
Transport (int), enzyme activity, cell recognition, intercellular joining, signal transduction (ext)
Cell-cell recognition
ability to distinguish cell from another binding to molecules
bonded to lipids- glycolipid
bonded to protein- glycoprotein
Diffusion
Movement of particles from high to low concentration
If no energy- passive
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across membrane from high to low water concentration until equal
Isotonic
Water diffuses at same rate, no net movement
