Bajer, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR (2011) CIL:202 Microtubules in mitosis, kidney epithelial cell (Domestic Pig) Nasser Rusan, U Serder Tulu, Carey Fagerstrom, Patricia Wadsworth (2012) CIL:40270 ILO: 2 Prometaphase, Endosperm cell Metaphas Andrew (Lily) S.

LaFountain (2010) CIL:9062 ILO: 2 Cell Replication and division - Mitosis Control of the cell ILO: 2 cycle Cyclins and cyclin dependent-kinases (CDKs) control cell cycle progression. Aberrant regulation of the cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and neoplasia. Michael Cammer, Phyllis Novikoff Anne Weston (2011) CIL:38813, Mammary carcinoma (2011) CIL:35481, Homo sapiens, cell. neoplastic hepatocyte. ILO: 2 Mitosis and meiosis Meiosis involves the exchange of genetic material via homologous recombination. Two rounds of cell division give rise to haploid gamete cells containing reassorted genetic information. Fertilisation of the egg by sperm reconstitutes a diploid cell with a unique genetic makeup or genotype. ILO: 3 The plasma membrane and membrane transport ILO: 3 The plasma membrane ILO: 3 Lipids form continuous sheet-like bilayers These molecules exhibit a dual chemical nature (amphipathic) e.g. hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. Hydrophilic Hydrophobic head tail c c Glycerol ILO: 3 Membrane lipids arrange themselves such that their polar heads contact the aqueous environment ILO: 3 Why did the molecule cross the lipid bilayer? Because it is small, nonpolar (hydrophobic) High Because it is helped by a channel or transporter proteins The bigger the molecule and the greater its charge, the lower its permeability coefficient permeability coefficient Low ILO: 3 Movement across membranes Passive transport - a solute moves across a membrane down its concentration gradient Active transport - a solute moves against its concentration gradient (requires energy) ILO: 3 Passive transport - Transporters vs Channels Transporter protein Channel protein Transporters specifically bind the solute and Channels weakly interact with solutes, forming undergo a conformational change to release pores in the membrane which allow the solutes the solute on the other side of the membrane (usually ions) to diffuse through them ILO: 3 Active transport – Primary vs Secondary Primary active transporters use ATP Secondary active transporters use hydrolysis to drive transport e.g. the the ion gradients set up by primary Na+/K+ ATPase active transport processes. ILO: 3 Membrane bound proteins ILO: 3 Membrane bound proteins and signalling Cells in complex organisms need to communicate with the extracellular environment. Membrane bound proteins enable: Cell-to-cell adhesions Communication with the immune system Changes in gene regulation within a cell Identification (self vs non-self) Neutrophils (red) moving through Neutrophils (red) moving toward bacteria Mark Harding (2014) capillaries (blue)CIL:47678 Mark Harding (2014) CIL:47553 (green) ILO: 3 Structural & functional relationships of cells ILO: 3 Structural & functional relationships of cells - strength The relationship between the actin cytoskeleton (blue), adherens junctions (green).

The finger-like shape increases the surface area of the intestine, improving the efficiency of food absorption. S.
