Study Notes
Cell Theory and Prokaryotic/Eukaryotic Cells
- Cell Theory describes fundamental principles of cell structure and function.
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cell Specialization and Unicellular Organisms
- Cell specialization is the development of distinct functions in cells within a multicellular organism.
- Unicellular organisms rely on a single cell to perform all necessary life processes.
Cell Membrane Structure and Function
- Cell membranes regulate the passage of substances in and out of cells.
- The fluid mosaic model describes the dynamic structure of cell membranes.
- The lipid bilayer is a two-layered arrangement of phospholipids in cell membranes.
Membrane Transport Mechanisms
- Active transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.
- Passive transport moves molecules down their concentration gradient, without energy use.
- Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration.
- Facilitated transport requires carrier proteins to move molecules across the membrane.
- Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
- Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration outside the cell.
- Isotonic solutions have an equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell.
- Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration outside the cell.
- Molecular transport uses ATP to move ions against their concentration gradient.
Vesicular Transport
- Endocytosis engulfs substances into the cell.
- Exocytosis expels substances from the cell.
- Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis for large particles.
- Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis for liquids.
Cell Membrane Proteins
- Enzymatic proteins catalyze chemical reactions.
- Receptor proteins recognize and bind to ligand molecules.
- Carrier proteins move molecules across the membrane.
- Channel proteins allow specific substances to pass through the membrane.
- Cell recognition proteins identify cells.
Cellular Organelles
- Lysosomes contain enzymes for breaking down cellular materials.
