Study Notes

Cellular Anatomy and Cell Division Overview

  • Familiarity with cellular anatomy and cell division is common, but many students find these concepts challenging.
  • This lab will incorporate models and illustrations to deepen understanding beyond mere recognition of structures.

Generalized Animal Cell Model

  • Key structures to identify include:
    • Plasma (Cell) Membrane: Protects the cell and regulates substance movement.
    • Free Ribosomes: Synthesize proteins within the cytoplasm.
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
      • Smooth ER: Synthesizes lipids and detoxifies drugs.
      • Rough ER: Studded with ribosomes; involved in protein synthesis.
    • Golgi Apparatus/Complex: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery.
    • Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes for waste processing.
    • Centrosome: Organizes microtubules and plays a role in cell division.
    • Nucleus:
      • Contains the nuclear envelope and pores for material exchange.
      • Houses chromatin (composed of DNA) and nucleolus (site of ribosome assembly).
    • Cytoplasm: Jelly-like substance containing cytosol and organelles.
    • Mitochondria: Powerhouse of the cell; produces ATP.
    • Flagella: Motility structure enabling movement in certain cells.
    • Microvilli: Increase surface area for absorption.
    • Cilia: Movement and sensory structures.

The Cell Cycle

  • The cell cycle consists of several distinct phases:
    • Interphase:
      • G1 Phase: Growth phase before DNA synthesis.
      • S Phase: DNA replication occurs.
      • G2 Phase: Preparation for mitosis.
    • Mitosis: The process of cell division that includes:
      • Prophase: Chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
      • Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
      • Anaphase: Sister chromatids pull apart to opposite poles.
      • Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform around separated chromosomes.
    • Cytokinesis: Division of the cytoplasm, usually follows mitosis, resulting in two separate cells.

Mitosis vs. Meiosis

  • Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically diverse gametes (eggs and sperm).
  • Understanding the distinctions in function and outcomes between these two processes is critical for insight into cellular reproduction and genetic variation.
  • Additional study of meiosis will occur later, particularly in the context of gametogenesis.
