    • Bicarbonate ion: Average: 28 mmol/L; Normal range: 24-32 mmol/L; Nonlethal limit: 8-45 mmol/L
    • Glucose: Average: 85 mg/dL; Normal range: 75-95 mg/dL; Nonlethal limit: 20-1500 mg/dL
    • Body temperature: Average: 98.4°F (37.0°C); Normal range: 98-98.8°F (37.0°C); Nonlethal limit: 65-110°F (18.3-43.3°C)
    • Acid-base (pH): Average: 7.4; Normal range: 7.3-7.5; Nonlethal limit: 6.9-8.0

    Cell Structure and Function

    • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Involved in protein synthesis, lipid synthesis and modification. Two types: rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (agranular).
    • Golgi Apparatus: Processes substances from the ER, modifies and packages them into lysosomes, secretory vesicles, other cellular components.
    • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes, break down intracellular substances (damaged cells, food particles, bacteria). Membranes protect them from damaging cell contents.
    • Mitochondria: Release energy via oxidation of foods (carbohydrates, fats, proteins). Crucial for ATP formation from ADP.
    • ATP Formation: Main pathway occurs in the mitochondria: foods are broken down, hydrogen ions combine with oxygen (releasing energy), energy used to convert ADP to ATP. Process called the chemiosmotic mechanism.
    • ATP Usage: ATP fuels cellular processes; membrane transport (sodium-potassium pump), synthesis, and mechanical work (muscle contraction).
    • Cilia: Whiplike structures, involved in movement of mucus (respiratory system), and fluid (uterine tubes). Require ATP and specific ionic conditions (magnesium, calcium).

    Genetic Control of Protein Synthesis

    • Gene Function: Genes (DNA) control protein synthesis and therefore cell function via the process of gene expression.
    • DNA Structure: Double-stranded helix composed of nucleotides with phosphoric acid, deoxyribose sugar, nitrogenous bases.
    • DNA Code: Organized as triplets of bases forming code words. A unique code word determines the sequence of amino acids in the resultant protein.
    • Transcription: Process where DNA code is copied to RNA code (which moves to the cytoplasm). RNA needs proteins and proper ionic environment for the synthesis.
    • Figure 3–1: Demonstrates the process by which genes in the nucleus control cell function in the cytoplasm. RNA is transcribed from the DNA and translated to proteins in the cytoplasm.
