Study Notes
Objectives
- Locate and identify stages of mitosis in onion root tips.
- Understand the processes involved in different types of transport mechanisms.
- Identify and describe cell structures and organelles.
Materials Needed
- Beakers, stirring rod, funnel, raisins, sugar, coffee granules, copper sulfate solution, charcoal, and starch solution.
Procedure Overview
- Transport Mechanism Experiments: Conduct a series of setups to observe osmotic effects, diffusion rates, and filtration processes.
- Cell Division: Examine mitosis and meiosis, focusing on their purposes and outcomes.
Cell Division
-
Somatic Cells (Mitosis):
- Purpose: Growth, tissue repair, maintenance.
- Chromosomes: Diploid (2n).
- Result: Two identical daughter cells; chromosome number remains constant.
-
Gamete Cells (Meiosis):
- Purpose: Sexual reproduction, producing sperm and egg cells.
- Chromosomes: Haploid (n).
- Result: Four daughter cells, each with half the chromosome number; promotes genetic diversity.
Cell Cycle Phases
- Interphase: Prepares cell for division. Divided into G1 (organelle replication), S (DNA replication), and G2 (protein synthesis, growth).
- Mitotic Phase: Includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Mitosis Stages
- Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes. Nuclear envelope disintegrates, spindle fibers form.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
- Anaphase: Centromeres divide, and sister chromatids move to opposite poles.
- Telophase: Nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes uncoil into chromatin.
Cytokinesis
- Division of cytoplasm occurs post-mitosis. Animal cells form cleavage furrows; plant cells form a cell plate.
Cancer
- Uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, leading to the formation of tumors.
- Benign Tumors: Non-cancerous, do not spread.
- Malignant Tumors: Cancerous, invades surrounding tissues, potential to metastasize.
Types of Cancer
- Carcinomas (epithelial cells), melanomas (skin), sarcomas (bones), leukemia (bone marrow), lymphoma (lymphatic tissues).
Cell Transport Mechanisms
- Cell Membrane: Semi-permeable membrane that controls substance movement and maintains cellular homeostasis.
Transport Types
- Passive Transport: Movement of substances down concentration gradients without energy (e.g., diffusion, osmosis).
- Active Transport: Requires energy to move substances against gradients (e.g., sodium-potassium pump).
Factors Influencing Diffusion Rate
- Steepness of concentration gradient, temperature, mass of substances, surface area, and characteristics of the diffusing substance.
Active Transport Details
- Primary Active Transport: ATP hydrolysis changes carrier protein shape, moving substances against gradients.
- Secondary Active Transport: Utilizes energy from ionic concentration gradients.
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
- Endocytosis: Material intake via vesicles (includes receptor-mediated, phagocytosis, pinocytosis).
- Exocytosis: Material export through vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane.
Cellular Pathophysiology
- Tonicity impacts red blood cells; hypertonic or hypotonic solutions can cause cell destruction.
- Sodium-potassium pump: Critical for heart function; drugs like digitalis influence this mechanism.
- Cystic Fibrosis: Genetic disorder affecting chloride ion transport.
- Emphysema: Lung disease which reduces diffusion efficacy due to alveolar damage.
Virus Entry Mechanisms
- Some viruses, such as HIV, utilize receptor-mediated endocytosis to infect host cells.
