CHAPTER 2: CELLULAR LEVEL OF ORGANIZATIONS Cells – smallest living units in the human body Terminology for Solutions: Cell Theory: ▪ Solvent: the liquid doing the dissolving, usually water Cells are the building blocks of all organisms ▪ Solute: the dissolved material (particles or gas) All cells come the division of preexisting cells ▪ Concentration - amount of solute in a given amount of Cells are the smallest units that carry out life’s essential solvent physiological functions Types of Solution: Each cell maintains homeostasis at the cellular level a. Isotonic- any solution w/c maintains its normal shape Classifications: and volume 1. Sex cells – sperm and oocytes b. Hypotonic- a solution that has a lower concentration of 2. Somatic cells – body cells solutes than the cytosol inside the RBCs **HEMOLYSIS- rupture of RBCs 3 Main Parts of Cells: c. Hypertonic - has a higher concentration of solutes than Plasma Membrane does the cytosol inside RBCs forms the cell’s flexible outer surface, separating the ▪ cell’s internal environment (inside the cell) from the external environment (outside the cell) ▪ It is a selective barrier that regulates the flow of materials into and out of a cell ▪ flexible yet sturdy barrier that surrounds and contains the cytoplasm of a cell, is best described by using a structural model called the fluid mosaic model Structure: I. Lipid Bilayer - two back-to-back layers made up of three types of lipid molecules: a. Phospholipids – contains phosphorus (75%) Transport Across Plasma Membrane: b. Cholesterol- steroid with an attached OH (hydroxyl) I. Passive Transport - substance moves down its group (20%) concentration or electrical gradient to cross the c. Glycolipids - lipids with attached carbohydrate groups membrane using only its own kinetic energy (5%) 1. Diffusion - the random mixing of particles in a solution occurs because of the particles’ kinetic energy molecules (and ions) move away from areas where they are more concentrated to areas where they are less concentrated. Factors influencing diffusion rate: Steepness of the concentration gradient - The greater the difference in concentration between the two sides of the membrane, the higher the rate of diffusion. Temperature - higher the temperature, the faster the rate II. Membrane proteins – ion channels, of diffusion. All the body’s diffusion processes occur carriers/transporters, receptors, linkers more rapidly in a person with a fever. a. Integral Proteins - extend into or through the lipid bilayer Mass of the diffusing substance - The larger the mass of among the fatty acid tails and are firmly embedded in it the diffusing particle, the slower its diffusion rate. b. Peripheral Proteins - they associate more loosely with Smaller molecules diffuse more rapidly than larger ones. the polar heads of membrane lipids or with integral Surface Area - The larger the membrane surface area proteins at the inner or outer surface of the membrane available for diffusion, the faster the diffusion rate. Air III. Membrane Carbohydrates - 3% of the weight of the sacs of the lungs have a large surface area available for plasma membrane diffusion of oxygen from the air into the blood. a. Glycocalyx - layer formed by the large extension from Diffusion Distance - The greater the distance over which the outer surface of the membrane formed by diffusion must occur, the longer it takes. Diffusion across carbohydrates. a plasma membrane takes only a fraction of a second IV. Selective Permeability - means that a barrier allows because the membrane is so thin. some substances to pass through it while excluding others. Thus, it allows nutrients to enter the cell but a. Simple Diffusion - s a passive process in which substances keeps many undesirable or unnecessary substances move freely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma out. At the same time, valuable cell proteins and other membranes of cells without the help of membrane substances are kept within the cell, and wastes are transport proteins allowed to pass out of it b. Facilitated Diffusion - substance moves across the lipid Lipid Bilayer portion of the membrane is permeable to bilayer aided by a channel protein or a carrier protein. nonpolar, uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, c. Osmosis - a type of diffusion in which there is net carbon dioxide, and steroids, but is impermeable to movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable ions and large, uncharged polar molecules such as membrane glucose 1. Non-membranous Organelles - organelles that are not contained by a membrane a. Cytoskeleton - a network of protein filaments that extends throughout the cytosol ✓ Microfilament - provide much of the mechanical support that is responsible for the basic strength and shapes of cells ✓ Intermediate filament - help stabilize the position of organelles such as the nucleus and help attach cells to one another. ✓ Microtubules - largest of the cytoskeletal components and are long, unbranched hollow tubes composed mainly of the protein tubulin II. Active Transport - energy is required for carrier proteins to b. Microvilli (microvillus) - Greatly increase the move solutes across the membrane against a concentration surface area of the cell exposed to the extracellular gradient. movement Sources of Cellular Energy: ATP, energy stored in an ionic c. Centrosome - Region of cytoplasm located next to concentration gradient the nucleus in a cell. 1.

Secondary Active Transport - Na+ or H+ gradient is established by primary active transport; secondary active transport indirectly uses energy obtained from the hydrolysis of ATP the energy stored in a Na+ or H+ concentration gradient is used to drive other substances across the membrane against their own concentration gradients. Carrier proteins **PERICENTRIOLAR MATERIAL- surrounds a. Symporters - transporters move two substances in the the centrioles ◦ contains hundreds of ring-shaped same direction complexes composed of the protein tubulin b. Antiporters - move two substances in opposite directions across the membrane d. Cilia - numerous, short, hairlike projections that 3.
