    Study Notes

    Telophase

    • Chromosomes in daughter cells organize into two separate nuclei.
    • Chromatin unravels, resembling genetic material found during interphase.
    • Cytoplasmic division completes, resulting in two distinct daughter cells.

    Cell Cycle and Differentiation

    • The union of a sperm cell and an oocyte forms a zygote, which undergoes numerous mitotic divisions to create billions of cells.
    • Differentiation develops cells with specialized structures and functions; not all DNA segments are active.

    Apoptosis

    • Programmed cell death regulates cell numbers in tissues.
    • In fetuses, apoptosis removes excess tissue, such as cells between fingers and toes.
    • In adults, apoptosis maintains a constant cell number in specific tissues.

    Cellular Aging

    • Cellular aging is influenced by various factors, including:
      • Existence of a cellular clock.
      • Presence of death genes.
      • Accumulation of DNA damage.
      • Formation of free radicals.
      • Mitochondrial damage.

    Tumors

    • Tumors represent abnormal cell proliferation.

    Cell Nucleus

    • Human cell nuclei contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins.
    • Chromosomes are loosely coiled as chromatin during most cell life cycles but condense when preparing for division.
    • Nucleoli, found within the nucleus, lack membranes and produce ribosome subunits.

    Ribosomes

    • Ribosome components form in the nucleolus.
    • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
    • They can be free-floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

    Exocytosis

    • Membrane-bound sacs, called secretory vesicles, accumulate materials for release from the cell.
    • Vesicles fuse with the cell membrane, releasing contents outside; examples include the secretion of digestive enzymes.

    General Cell Structure

    • Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance housing organelles, which perform specialized functions.
    • Organelles include the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and mitochondria.

    Cell Membrane

    • The plasma membrane separates intracellular and extracellular materials and acts as a selective barrier.
    • The fluid-mosaic model describes cell membrane structure, comprising phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates.

    Phospholipid Structure

    • Phospholipids have a hydrophilic polar head and a hydrophobic nonpolar tail.
    • They form a bilayer, with the polar region facing water and the nonpolar region facing inward.

    Sodium-Potassium Pump

    • The sodium-potassium pump actively moves Na+ out of cells and K+ into them, creating concentration gradients.
    • This pump is essential for maintaining higher Na+ outside and higher K+ inside cells.

    Secondary Active Transport

    • Secondary active transport utilizes energy from concentration gradients established by primary active transport.
    • In cotransport, both the diffusing substance and the transported substance move in the same direction; in countertransport, they move in opposite directions.

    Endocytosis

    • Endocytosis brings materials into the cell via vesicles.
    • Receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the binding of specific substances to receptors for transport into the cell.
