Levels of Chapter 2 Organization Lesson 2.1: The Cell as an Efficient, Open System All characteristics of life come from a highly ordered structure. It starts very _______________ and each new level becomes more complex. simple We know that ____________ are the basic unit of life and, as such, they organism cells facilitate life processes such as: Intake of Nutrients Exchange of Gases Movement and Growth WasteRemoval Response to Stimuli Reproduction There are two basic types of cells: ______________________________ (before nucleus) Trokaryotes is o Organisms without a cell _______________ nucleus Increase in complexity S o No membrane bound organelles o _______________ celled organisms no nucleus Single o Very small in size ______________________________ (true nucleus) Eukaryotenfaeus o Contains a _______________ organ o Has many organelles surrounded by a membrane o Larger than prokaryotes o Can be _______________ or ____________-cellular organisms single multi Eukaryotes Chemical Composition of Cell Structures tissue The major elements making up the structure of plant and animal cells are _______________, carbon hydrogen _______________, _______________ and _______________. These elements are organized oxygen nitrogen into four major organic compound groups: Lipids o _______________ – fats and oils o ______________________________ – sugars, starches, cellulose Carbohydrates cell o _______________ – muscle fibre o _______________ Acids – main component of genetic material DNA Both plant and animal cells have an internal network of fibres, called the ______________________________, made of proteins and lipids. cytoskelftforts The cytoskeleton _______________ the cell. organelle 1 Cell Organelles An organelle is a structure that performs a specific function within in a cell. Cell Structure Function A protective membrane that allows the transport of materials into Cell Membrane and out of the cell. FOUND IN PLANT CELLS ONLY Cell Wall A rigid frame that provides strength and support. A gel-like substance where organelles and nutrients are suspended. Cytoplasm The physical nature of the cytoplasm allows for easy movement of (Cytosol) molecules within the cell (called cytoplasmic streaming). Directs all cellular activities and contains the genetic material of the Nucleus cell (DNA). The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope (membrane) that has pores to allow transport of material. Site of cellular respiration in the cell. Chemical energy in sugars is Mitochondria converted to energy the cell can use. “The powerhouse of the cell.” Flat, disc-shaped sacs that receive substances from the endoplasmic Golgi Apparatus reticulum and packages them for transport out of the cell. Granules where amino acids are combined to make proteins (protein Ribosomes synthesis). May be attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or free-floating. A series of small, interconnected tubes that branch from the nuclear membrane. Materials can be transported through these tubes. Endoplasmic Rough ER: has ribosomes attached and is associated with protein Reticulum synthesis. Smooth ER: does not have ribosomes attached and is associated with fat and oil production. In general vacuoles are used for storage and vesicles are used to transport substances throughout the cell. Both vacuoles and vesicles Vacuoles and are bounded by a membrane and are used to store products of Vesicles secretion, nutrients, and fats. In animal cells: There are many small vacuoles that store food, cell products and excess fluids. In plant cells: There is one large central vacuole used to store water. FOUND IN PLANT CELLS ONLY Contain chlorophyll (green pigment) and is the site of Chloroplasts photosynthesis. Energy from the sun is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars that can be used by the plant. FOUND IN ANIMAL CELLS ONLY. Lysosomes Membrane bound sacs that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes also defend against bacteria, and break down/recycle damaged cells. FOUND IN ANIMAL CELLS ONLY. Centrioles Two short rods made from microtubules thought to be involved in cell division. 2 Example 1 Label the organelles and structures in each of the cells given below. A. Cell Membrane H.

Everffffeable o Permeable means ____________________ can pass through it. o Impermeable means ____________________ can pass through it. nothing o So, a semi-permeable membrane is a selective filter that only lets certain substances in and out of the cell. It keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. phospholipid bilayer The cell membrane consists of a ______________________________ _______________. o A phospholipid bilayer has both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic side. Phosphates are _______________ and they love water (________________________) Lipids are _____________________ and they hate water (________________________) Bi means _________ (there are two rows of phospholipids). o Due to their nature, phospholipids naturally arrange themselves into a phospholipid bilayer. outward The hydrophilic heads love water so they point _________________________. The hydrophobic tails hate water so they point inward, toward each other. Fluid Mosaic Model The current description of the cell membrane is called the ________________________________. o The cell membrane is made up of many different parts (_______________). Mosaic fluid o The mosaic pieces are continually moving (_______________). The is flexible, not at all rigid like a wall. The cell membrane membrane also contains ____________________. proteins o Proteins are embedded in the cell membrane, floating in the phospholipid bilayer. o ____________________ channe Proteins tunnelsallowing passage of specific substances in and out of the cell. Act like ____________ Carrier Proteins o ____________________ Carrier proteins carry specific substances across the membrane both with and against the ______________________________ ________________________. concentration gradient 4 “I have no personal space” so the particles spread out. Diffusion high _________________________ is the natural movement of particles from an area of ___________ concentration to an area of ________ concentration. ow Each type of particle diffuses independently of other types of particles. The end result is a state of ______________________________, in which the particles are still equilibrium moving but they are maintaining an overall balanced, even distribution. The _______ rateof diffusion can increase by adding energy and increasing molecular movement. Diffusion is a form of ____________________ transport in which energy is NOT required. o The energy within passive the particles themselves is sufficient for the movement to occur. The particles move to balance out Diffusion in Cells difference Diffusion of water or solutes can occur across a cell membrane if there is a ____________________ between the concentration of water or solutes on either side of the membrane. This difference between the concentrations is called the concentration __________________. gradient o The concentration gradient determines the direction in which water or solutes will move. 5 The particles can't move (too big for the cell membrane) so the water moves instead. Osmosis If there is a concentration gradient across a cell membrane but the _______________________ can’t get through, the water will move across instead. molecules Water will flow to the ______________ concentrated side of the selectively permeable membrane. more o There are two ways to think about this: The water wants to make the concentration of solute the same on both dilute sides, so it will flow toward the side with more solute to ________________ it. The side with more solute has a “____________________ concentration of ower water”. The water flows to that side to obtain equilibrium. water todilute thesolin Reverse Osmosis ___________________________________ is the process of removing salt from sea water in order Desalination to make it suitable for drinking. Water is pumped through progressively smaller ____________________ that only allow filters smaller and smaller particles to pass through. The membrane removes salts and impurities from the water. o Called reverse osmosis, because the water moves from the high solute side the low solute side (the __________________ direction that osmosis would naturally flow). opposite Efficient but ____________________. expensive 6 To predict the direction of net movement for the water, we need to compare the concentrations of the solute. if et _________________________ Solution Hypertonic o Hyper means “more”, so hypertonic means “more solute”. o Hypertonic solutions have a ____________________ concentration of solute. higher Lower water concentration. o Hypertonic solutions _______________ water. gain _________________________ Solution t.name o Hypo means “less”, so hypotonic means “less solute”. o Hypotonic solutions have a ____________________ ower concentration of solute.
