Forms an Ion channel 2. Acts are carriers 3. Acts as receptors 4. Acts as Enzymes 5. Serves as linkers 6. Serves as cell-identity markers PLASMA MEMBRANE STRUCTURE PLASMA MEMBRANE STRUCTURE MEMBRANE FLUIDITY Fluidity depends on the NUMBER OF DOUBLE BONDS in the fatty acid tails ○ ↑double bond = ↑ fluidity Cholesterol - makes the membrane less fluid in normal temperature ○ ↓ temperature = ↑ fluidity Importance of membrane fluidity: ○ Decreases membrane rigidity → improves cell mobility ○ Enables cell processes (cell movement, growth, division, secretion, and cellular junction formation ○ Allows membrane to self-seal when punctured PLASMA MEMBRANE MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY The plasma membrane is SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE LIPID BILAYER ○ Permeable to nonpolar molecules (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and steroids) ○ Moderately permeable - small uncharged molecules (water and urea) ○ impermeable to ions and large, uncharged polar molecules (glucose) TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEINS ○ Acts as channels or carriers Note: the more hydrophobic or lipid-soluble the substance is, the more it readily passes through the plasma membrane PLASMA MEMBRANE GRADIENT ACROSS THE PLASMA MEMBRANE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT ○ Difference in the concentration of a chemical from one place to another Concentrated in the extracellular fluid - oxygen and sodium ions Concentrated inside the cell - carbon dioxide and potassium ions ELECTRICAL GRADIENT aka MEMBRANE POTENTIAL ○ The difference of electrical charges in two different regions Due to the difference in distribution of positive and negatively-charged ions Inside the cell - NEGATIVELY CHARGED Outside the cell - POSITIVELY CHARGED ELECTROCHEMICAL GRADIENT - combination of concentration and chemical gradient ○ This contributes to the movement of substances across the plasma membrane TRANSPORT ACROSS THE MEMBRANE Transport of substances occur via ACTIVE OR PASSIVE PROCESS depending on the requirement of cellular energy. TRANSPORT ACROSS THE MEMBRANE ACTIVE TRANSPORT PASSIVE TRANSPORT Requires ATP? YES NO Movement of substances UPHILL DOWNHILL “Against” the concentration gradient Higher solute concentration → lower solute Lower SOLUTE concentration concentration → higher solute concentration Examples Active transport Diffusion - Primary - Simple - Secondary - Facilitated Vesicle transport Osmosis - Endocytosis - Exocytosis PASSIVE PROCESSES THE DIFFUSION PRINCIPLE DIFFUSION - a passive process in which the random mixing of particles in a solution occurs because of the particle’s kinetic energy. ○ SOLUTE - the dissolved particles ○ SOLVENT - liquid that does dissolving Rule: if a particular solute is present in high concentration in one area of solution and in love concentration in another area, the solute will diffuse towards the area of LOWER CONCENTRATION “Moves down their concentration gradient” FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE DIFFUSION RATE STEEPNESS OF THE Greater difference in concentration means higher CONCENTRATION GRADIENT rate of diffusion TEMPERATURE Higher temperature increases the rate of diffusion and vice-versa MASS OF THE DIFFUSING The larger the mass, the slower the diffusion rate SUBSTANCE SURFACE AREA The larger the surface area, the faster the diffusion rate DIFFUSION DISTANCE The greater the distance, the longer the diffusion rate TYPES OF PASSIVE DIFFUSION SIMPLE DIFFUSION FACILITATED OSMOSIS DIFFUSION Definition The substances passes freely Substances passes with Net movement of a through the lipid bilayer without the the help of an integral SOLVENT through a help of transport proteins membrane protein selectively permeable membrane Substances Nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules Channel mediated WATER - Oxygen - Ions (Sodium, - Carbon dioxide potassium, - Nitrogen gas chloride, calcium - Fatty acid ions) - Steroid - Fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) Carrier mediated - Glucose Small, uncharged polar molecules - Fructose - Water - Galactose - urea - vitamins FACILITATED DIFFUSION CHANNEL-MEDIATED Solute moves down the lipid bilayer CARRIER-MEDIATED through a membrane channel A carrier (transporter) moves a solute down its concentration gradient Most are ION channels Has transport maximum (upper limit of GATED Channel carriers available for transport) - When a part of the channel protein acts as a”plug” or “gate” OSMOSIS The net movement of SOLVENT through a selectively permeable membrane. In the context of the solvent: ○ Water (solvent) moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. In the context of the solute ○ Water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Water movement is through: ○ Simple diffusion ○ Through aquaporins (AQPs) OSMOSIS Osmosis occurs only when a membrane is permeable to water but impermeable to certain solutes. 2 forces governing osmosis, maintaining equilibrium: ○ HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE Pressure exerted by the liquid ○ ONCOTIC PRESSURE Pressure exerted by impermeable solutes OSMOTIC PRESSURE - the amount of pressure needed to restore equilibrium OSMOSIS Under normal conditions: ○ osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid is the same with the cytosol, therefore there is no change in the cell volume When a cell placed in a solution with different osmotic pressure → changes in cell size, shape, and volume ○ TONICITY - measure of the solution’s ability to change the volume of cells by altering the water content OSMOSIS - TONICITY ISOTONIC SOLUTION HYPOTONIC SOLUTION HYPERTONIC SOLUTION Concentration of equal The solutes are greater The solutes are lesser inside solutes inside vs inside than outside the cell than outside the cell outside the cell Movement of water Water enters in and out of OUTSIDE → INSIDE the INSIDE → OUTSIDE THE the cell without change in cell CELL cell size and shape Effect on cell Normal size and shape Cells may SWELL or Cell will shrink (crenated) BURST OSMOSIS - TONICITY ACTIVE PROCESS ACTIVE TRANSPORT are needed for: Solutes that are ○ POLAR or CHARGED molecules that needs to transported actively: move “uphill” or against the concentration - Sodium gradient - Potassium carrier proteins need energy to transport molecules - Hydrogen - Calcium across the membrane - Iodide ○ Two sources of cellular energy - Chloride PRIMARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT - - Amino acids energy is taken via HYDROLYSIS of ATP - Monosaccharides SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT - energy is taken from energy stored in an *some can be transferred via facilitated diffusion ionic concentration gradient ACTIVE TRANSPORT PRIMARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT Aka PUMPS - energy is derived from ATP hydrolysis that changes the shape of carrier protein → pumps the substance against its concentration gradient. ○ SODIUM-POTASSIUM PUMP (aka Na-K ATPase) Most prevalent primary active transport Maintains low concentrations of sodium (by pumping it out against its concentration gradient) and high concentration of potassium (by moving it inside against the concentration gradient) in the cytosol Importance: Maintains cell shape and volume Generate electrical signals for action potential ACTIVE TRANSPORT SECONDARY ACTIVE The TRANSPORT energy stored in a Na+ or H+ gradient is used to drive other substances across the membrane against the concentration gradient INDIRECTLY uses the hydrolysis of ATP (as Na+ and H+ gradient is established by primary active transport) A carrier protein simultaneously binds to Na+ and another substance and changes in shape so that both substances can cross the membrane at the same time. ACTIVE TRANSPORT SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT - TWO TYPES SYMPORTERS ANTIPORTERS Moves substances in the SAME direction Moves substances in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION More on absorption: More on regulation of ions and pH: - Na-glucose symport - Na-Ca++ antiport - Na-amino acid symport - Na-H+ antiport TRANSPORT IN VESICLES ENDOCYTOSIS EXOCYTOSIS TRANSCYTOSIS materials move into a cell in a vesicle Materials move OUT of a cell by fusion Movement of substance into, across, formed from the plasma membrane with the plasma membrane of vesicles and out of the cell formed within the cell Vesicles undergo endocytosis on one Three types: RECEPTOR-MEDIATED side, move across, then undergo PHAGOCYTOSIS exocytosis on the other side.

An orderly sequence of events in which a somatic cell duplicates its contents and divides in two. - Homologous chromosomes - Two chromosomes that make up one pair of chromosomes - Human cells (except gametes) contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - One member of each pair is inherited from each parent - Diploid (2n) cell - contains two sets of chromosomes - Haploid (n) cell - contains only one set of chromosomes SOMATIC CELL DIVISION CELL CYCLE - Consists of two major periods: - INTERPHASE - The cell is not dividing - MITOTIC (M) PHASE - The cell is dividing Summary of sequence of events in cell cycle: G1 → S PHASE → G2 → MITOSIS → CYTOKINESIS SOMATIC CELL DIVISION INTERPHASE - A state of “high metabolic activity” - The cell undergoes growth - The cell replicates DNA in preparation for cell division - Undergoes production of additional organelles and cytosolic proteins - Three phases: - G1,S, and G2 SOMATIC CELL DIVISION INTERPHASE - G1 (GAP) PHASE (46 chromosomes) - Cell is metabolically active - The cell replicates most of its organelles EXCEPT DNA - G0 PHASE - Cells that remain in G1 for a long time or does not divide - Example: nerve cell and skeletal muscle SOMATIC CELL DIVISION INTERPHASE - S PHASE (92 chromosomes) - Cell undergo DNA REPLICATION - DNA uncoils, the old DNA strand pairs with the newly formed DNA strand - G2 PHASE (92 chromosomes) - Cell growth continues - Replication of centromere is completed EARLY PROPHASE (92 CHROMOSOMES) - Chromatin fibers condense and shorten into chromosomes - Each chromosomes contain chromatids held together by centromere LATE PROPHASE -

To remain alive and functioning without dividing 2. To grow and divide 3. To die Various signals tell a cell when to exist in the G0 phase, when to divide and when to die ○ CYCLIN-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES (CDK’s) Crucial in the regulation of DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis Regulated by CYCLINS (activates or deactivates CDKs) ACTIVATED by transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to protein DEACTIVATED by removing of phosphate group CLASSIFICATION OF SOMATIC CELL BASED ON THEIR MITOTIC ACTIVITY STATIC CELL Composed of cells no longer dividing Cells of the CNS POPULATION *some cells may enter mitosis Cardiac Myocytes STABLE CELL Cells may divide episodically and Periosteal and perichondrial cells POPULATION slowly to maintain normal tissue Smooth muscle clueless structure Endothelial cells fibroblasts RENEWING CELL Displays regular mitotic activity, but Stem cells POPULATION may be slowly or rapidly dividing SLOWLY Displays regular mitotic activity but are Smooth muscle cell of hollow organs RENEWING slowly dividing Fibroblast of uterine wall POPULATION RAPIDLY Displays regular mitotic activity but are Blood cells RENEWING rapidly dividing Epithelial cells and Dermal fibroblasts (skin) Epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract POPULATION REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION MEIOSIS The reproductive division that occurs in the gonads (ovaries and testes), that produces gametes (egg cell and sperm cell) in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. ○ Produced HAPLOID (n) cells - single set of 23 chromosomes Occur in two successive stages: ○ Meiosis I (REDUCTIONAL division) Begins with diploid cells, ending with two daughter haploid cells ○ Meiosis II (EQUATORIAL division) Similar to process to mitosis Note: Begins with two haploid cells, ending with four haploid daughter cells PROPHASE I (92 CHROMOSOMES) - Chromosomes shorten and thicken, nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear, mitotic spindle forms - SYNAPSIS - two sister chromatids of each pair of homologous chromosome pair of, forming a TETRAD - CROSSING-OVER - an exchange of parts between chromatids occurs - This results to GENETIC RECOMBINATION - formation of new sets of genes leading to genetic variation METAPHASE I (92 CHROMOSOMES) - Tetrads formed by the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION (MEIOSIS I) ANAPHASE I (46 CHROMOSOMES/CELL) - Members of each homologous pairs of chromosomes separate - Note: the chromatid pairs are still held together by centromere - Result: haploid number of chromosomes TELOPHASE I and CYTOKINESIS (46 CHROMOSOMES/CELL) - Same with mitosis - Product: - HAPLOID cell (two daughter cells) REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION (MEIOSIS I) NO INTERPHASE (46 CHROMOSOMES) - No DNA replication PROPHASE II (46 CHROMOSOMES) METAPHASE I (46 CHROMOSOMES) - chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate ANAPHASE II (23 CHROMOSOMES/CELL) - Members of each homologous pairs of chromosomes separate TELOPHASE II and CYTOKINESIS (23 CHROMOSOMES/CELL) - Same with mitosis - Product: - HAPLOID cell (four daughter cells) REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION (MEIOSIS II) COMPARISON - MITOSIS V. MEIOSIS CONTROL OF CELL DESTINY TYPES OF CELLULAR DEATH APOPTOSIS NECROSIS Definition Orderly, genetically programmed cell death Cell death resulting from a tissue injury Normal process Pathologic (abnormal) type of cell death Process A triggering event causes “cell suicide: Adjacent cell swell, burst, and spill their genes to activate and produce enzymes cytoplasm into the interstitial fluid that damage the cells → nuclear fragments (plasma membrane is not intact) → and cytoplasm shinks (plasma membrane stimulation of inflammatory response intact) → cell is phagocytosed by phagocytes (no inflammatory response) Function/ Removes unneeded cells example - Fetal development - removal of webbing between digits - Eliminates potential dangerous cells 07 CELL AGING CELLULAR DIVERSITY Cells vary considerably in size ○ Micrometers - unit of measure of cells Largest cell: oocyte (140 um) Cells also vary considerably in shape ○ This relates to its function in the body examples: Sperm - has whip-like tail for locomotion Red blood cell - disc shape to enlarge its surface area Smooth muscle cell - spindle-shape to increase muscle shortening during contraction Nerve cells - have long extensions to permit conduction of nerve in long distances AGING AND CELLS AGING ○ A normal process accompanied by progressive alteration of the body’s homeostatic responses ○ Produces observable changes in structure and function, and increases vulnerability to environmental stress and disease GERIATRICS ○ Branch of medicine that deals with medical problems and care of elderly person GERONTOLOGY ○ Scientific study of the process and problems associated with aging AGING AND CELLS Factors relating to cell aging: - “Aging genes” as part of the genetic blueprint - Cells have only limited capacity to divide - Cessation of mitosis is normal, genetically programmed event - Erosion/shortening of telomeres - TELOMERES - DNA sequences found at the tip of the chromosome - Protects the tip of the chromosome from erosion - Each cellular division leads to shortening of telomeres → functional chromosome material may be lost → cell death - Glucose - May be haphazardly added to proteins in the cells, forming irreversible cross-links between adjacent protein molecules → stiffening and loss of elasticity - Autoimmune response - Changes in cell-identity markers while aging leads to autoimmune response, attacking cells leading to destruction.
