    Study Notes

    • The plasma membrane of a cell provides selective permeability, controlling the entry and exit of substances, maintaining the internal environment's chemical composition.

    • Selective permeability is due to the membrane's size selectivity, with small molecules passing through simple diffusion and large ones requiring pores or channels.

    • The membrane has specialized pumps and carriers for active transport and facilitated diffusion.

    • Diffusion is the passive movement of substances across the membrane down their concentration gradient.

    • Facilitated diffusion is a passive transfer process for substances that cannot diffuse unaided; specialized protein carriers catalyze the transfer.

    • Osmosis is passive water movement down its concentration gradient towards equilibrium across a semipermeable membrane.

    • Active transport moves substances up their concentration gradient against the gradient, using energy. The sodium-potassium pump is an example, maintaining unequal ion concentrations and consuming up to 30% of cellular ATP.

    • Bulk transport involves the transfer of particles too large to cross cell membranes by pinocytosis or phagocytosis, resulting in membrane-bound vacuoles and the transfer of waste material through exocytosis.

    • Organelles are specialized structures within the cytosol, each with distinct functions, and often enclosed by their own membranes. Examples include the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cytoskeleton.

    • The nucleus, present in most cells, contains the genetic material, and skeletal muscle fibers and some other cells have multiple nuclei.

    • Mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration.

    • The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and calcium storage.

    • The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport to their various cellular destinations.

    • Lysosomes contain enzymes for breaking down various substances, like waste material, cellular debris, and foreign particles.

    • The cytoskeleton provides structure and shape for the cell, and facilitates intracellular transport and movement.

    • The text also mentions figures 3.1, 3.3C, 3.4, and 3.5, which likely provide visual representations of the discussed concepts.
