outer lining of a cell
- barrier
- communication
- secretion
plasma membrane
- requires energy
- moves molecules against conc. gradient
Active transport
Uses a membrane pump, directly fueled by hydrolysis of ATP, to move molecules against a concentration gradient
e.g. Na+/K pump (sodium potassium pump
1 active transport (primary)
There is always more ______ outside the cell than in
Sodium
There is always more _________ inside the cell than out
Potassium
Molecules in low concentration, hitch a ride with the molecules perviously pumped across the membrane by 1 active transport.
e.g. glucose rides with sodium ions as they diffuse down conc. gradient.
2 Active transport (secondary)
can be used to transport large particles and macromolecules and requires energy
Vesicular transport
Plasma membrane in fold and pinches off inside cell.
Endocytosis
what are the three types of endocytosis

- fused with lysosome and contents digested
- used by macrophages and WBCs
Phagocytosis
-cell drinking
- Occurs in most cells
- method of absorbing nutrients
- plasma membrane enfolds
Pinocytosis
- very selective mechanism for taking molecules inside the cell
- molecules that are taken up this way: insulin, cholesterol, iron
- “lock and key”
receptor-mediated endocytosis
Substances inside the cell move outside
exocytosis
what are examples of cells that practice exocytosis
- hormones
- neurotransmitters
- mucus secretion
- cell waste
the membrane bound vesicle migrates to the plasma membrane
Phase 1 of exocytosis
Proteins at the vesicle surface (v-SNAREs) bind with t-SNAREs (plasma membrane protein)
Phase 2 of exocytosis
the vesicle and plasma membrane fuse and pore opens up
phase 3 of exocytosis
vesicle contents are released to the cell exterior
phase 4 of exocytosis (final)
-region between plasma membrane and nucleus
- where 90% of cell activity occurs
Cytoplasm
What is the cytoplasm composed of
cytosol (fluid)
organelles
molecules
pigments
specialized cellular organs each performing its own job
cytoplasmic organelles
power plant that makes ATP
- glucose goes in, ATP comes out
Mitochondria
Fluid + organelles =
Cytoplasm
What are the genetic disease that are only inherited through the maternal line because of an error in mitochondrial DNA (mDNA)
- Myoclonic Epilepsy
- Lebers hereditary neuropathy (causes blindness)
- Are granules of protein and ribosomal RNA
-Site of protein synthesis - some are attached to ER and some float freely in cytoplasm
- “the chef”
Ribosomes
Interconnected tubes and parallel membranes
- occupy most of cytoplasm
Endoplasmic reticulum
Covered in ribosomes which constantly attach and detach
- the attached ribosomes assemble all proteins secreted from cell
- most abundant secretory cells (liver cells)
Rough ER
what cells produce most blood proteins and are responsible for
- cholesterol synthesis
- steroid hormone production
- detoxification
Liver cells
- NO role in protein sythesis
- tubule network containing intergral protein enzymes that catalyze :
- lipid metabolism
- cholesterol synthesis
- Detoxification
Smooth ER
Bags of powerful digestive enzymes acid hydrolyses called oxidases and catalases
Lysosomes
pH of 5.0 and can degrade bacteria, viruses, and toxins, worn out organelles through phagocytes
Lysosomes
What breaks down bone to release calcium into the blood
Lysosomes
Look like lysosomes.
- like to go after free radicals : highly reactive molecules with an unpairs electron in the outer orbital
- Antioxidants help these
Peroxisomes
example of a free radical
Superoxide anion
A series of stacked and flattened membranes
a traffic director for cellular proteins
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies, concentrates, and packages proteins and fats made in the ER
Golgi apparatus
The control center of the cell
- contains all of the instructions ( encoded in DNA) to build most of the body’s proteins
Nucleus
Transcribing the DNA into mRNA in the nucleus
Transcription
Translation
Translating the message into something that can be understood in the cytoplasm
- mRNA in the cytoplasm is read by the ribosomes
what is the stop codon that the ribosome reaches that causes translation to stop
UAA
essential amino acids

- Proline
- Serine
- Tyrosine
A disease that results from a mutation in our genetic code or DNA. (spelling mistake in the code)
Genetic Disease
Why does a dysfunctional protein causes a genetic disease?
Proteins carry out most of the cells activities and malfunctioning protein will affect the cells ability to carry out certain processes and therefore its ability to function properly.
Examples of Genetic diseases?
