Study Notes
Chromosomes and Cell Structure
- Chromosomes are formed with a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic fatty acid tail.
- The nucleoid region is where prokaryotic DNA is located.
- Cytoplasm contains cytosol and organelles; in prokaryotes, everything inside the plasma membrane; in eukaryotes, the area outside the nucleus but inside the plasma membrane.
- Cell walls of prokaryotes are made of peptidoglycan, providing protection.
- Capsules are sticky outer layers in bacteria that assist in adhering to environments.
- Fimbriae are short, numerous cell protrusions aiding attachment, while pili are longer, less numerous, and specialized.
- Ribosomes consist of RNA and proteins; they are the sites of protein synthesis.
Prokaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotic cells, from Kingdom Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, lack a nucleus and are classified as single-compartment houses.
- Peroxisomes produce hydrogen peroxide and conduct oxidation reactions.
- The endomembrane system includes organelles involved in protein transport, packaging, and recycling.
- Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes for breaking down cellular components.
Fungal Groups
- Ascomycetes (sac fungi) include species like Penicillium notatum and Aspergillus flavus, known for a form of saprophytosis.
- Basidiomycetes have spores in club-shaped structures, with examples like Puccinia graminis and Agaricus campestris.
- Transitional epithelial cells have no definite shape and can be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar, as seen in bladder cells.
Epithelial Cells
- Epithelial tissues consist of surface cells arranged in single or multiple layers.
- Simple squamous epithelium regulates substance passage in places like blood vessels and alveoli.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium, found in secreting tissues and kidneys, facilitates absorption and secretion.
- Simple columnar epithelium, located in the digestive tract, is often ciliated and involved in protection and mucus secretion.
- Stratified squamous epithelium protects surfaces like skin and the lining of the mouth.
Plant Tissues
- Meristematic tissue aids in plant growth with apical, intercalary, and lateral types.
- Bone tissue is the hardest connective tissue, essential for posture and organ support.
- Cartilage provides flexible support, while tendons connect bones.
- Adipose tissue stores fats, and areolar tissue supports epithelium and internal organs.
Mitosis Phases
- Prophase: 6 chromosomes and 12 chromatids present.
- Metaphase: chromosomes align, maintaining 6 chromosomes and 12 chromatids.
- Anaphase: chromosomes are pulled apart, resulting in 12 chromosomes and 0 chromatids.
- Telophase: 12 chromosomes and 12 chromatids, leading to cell division completion.
Solubility and Tonicity
- Solubility is the ability of a molecule to dissolve in a solvent, particularly in cell membranes' lipid bilayer.
- Molecules more soluble in the lipid bilayer diffuse easily; water-soluble molecules need transport proteins.
- Exosmosis occurs when water moves out of a cell in a hypertonic solution, leading to cell shrinkage.
- Isotonic solutions maintain cell size, while hypotonic solutions cause water influx, potentially leading to cell bursting in animal cells.
- Aquatic plants thrive in freshwater due to their capacity to handle hypotonic environments, becoming turgid without bursting.
