  1. PowerLecture:Chapter 3 Cells and How They Work

  2. Learning Objectives • Understand the basic parts of eukaryotic cells. • Understand the essential structure and function of the cell membrane. • Know the forces that cause water and solutes to move across membranes passively and by active transport. • Understand how material can be imported into or exported from a cell by being wrapped in membranes.

  3. Learning Objectives (cont’d) • Describe the nucleus of eukaryotes with respect to structure and function. • Describe the organelles associated with the endomembrane system, and tell the general function of each. • Describe the cytoskeleton of eukaryotes and distinguish it from the endomembrane system. • Define a metabolic pathway and the types of substances that participate in it.

  4. Learning Objectives (cont’d) • Characterize an enzyme and what type of cofactors may be needed for its functioning. • Define ATP and describe the pathways for its formation within the cell. • Describe the process of cellular respiration with special reference to the quantity of ATP produced.

  5. Impacts/Issues When Mitochondria Spin Their Wheels

  6. When Mitochondria Spin Their Wheels • Mitochondria are specialized compartments in the cell that produce energy. • Mitochondrial disorders can cause reduced energy for cell use. • Luft’s syndrome is a rare disorder in which the mitochondria are misshapen and do not produce enough ATP. • Many mitochondrial disorders exist, but are rare; this means that pharmaceutical companies have little financial incentive to develop drugs for treatment.

  7. How Would You Vote? To conduct an instant in-class survey using a classroom response system, access “JoinIn Clicker Content” from the PowerLecture main menu. • Should pharmaceutical companies receive financial incentives (such as tax breaks) to search for cures for diseases that affect only a small number of people? • a. Yes, those that suffer from any disease, even if it is rare, deserve treatment. • b. No, the public shouldn't subsidize this research - let market forces take their course.

  8. Section 1 What Is a Cell?

  9. What is a Cell? • The cell theory has three generalizations: • All organisms are composed of one or more cells. • The cell is the smallest unit having the properties of life. • All cells come from pre-existing cells. Figure 3.3

  10. What is a Cell? • All cells are alike in three ways. • A plasma membrane separates each cell from the environment, but also allows the flow of molecules across the membrane. • DNA carries the hereditary instructions. • The cytoplasm containing a semifluid matrix (cytosol) and organelles is located between the plasma membrane and the region of DNA.

  11. What is a Cell? • There are two basic kinds of cells. • Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) do not have a separation of the DNA from the remainder of the cell parts. • Eukaryotic cells have a definite nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. cytoplasm DNA plasma membrane Figure 3.1

  13. What is a Cell? • Why are cells small? • Most cells are so small they can only be seen by using light and electron microscopes. • Cells are necessarily small so that the surface-to-volume ratio remains low; this means that the interior will not be so extensive that it cannot exchange materials efficiently through the plasma membrane. Figure 3.2

  14. What is a Cell? • Membranes enclose cells and organelles. • A large portion of the cell membrane is composed of phospholipids, each of which possesses a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. • If phospholipid molecules are surrounded by water, their hydrophobic fatty acid tails cluster and a lipid bilayer results; hydrophilic heads are at the outer faces of a two-layer sheet with the hydrophobic tails shielded inside.

  17. Section 2 The Parts of an Eukaryotic Cell

  18. The Parts of a Eukaryotic Cell • All eukaryotic cells contain organelles. • Organelles form compartmentalized portions of the cytoplasm. • Organelles separate reactions with respect to time (allowing proper sequencing) and space (allowing incompatible reactions to occur in close proximity).

  22. Section 3 The Plasma Membrane: A Double Layer of Lipids

  23. The Plasma Membrane • The plasma membrane is a mix of lipids and proteins. • Bilayers of phospholipids, interspersed with glycolipids and cholesterol, are the structural foundation of cell membranes. • Within a bilayer, phospholipids show quite a bit of movement; they diffuse sideways, spin, and flex their tails to prevent close packing and promote fluidity, which also results from short-tailed lipids and unsaturated tails (kinks at double bonds).

  24. The Plasma Membrane • Proteins perform most of the functions of cell membranes. • The scattered islands of protein in the sea of lipids create a “mosaic” effect. • Membrane proteins (most are glycoproteins) serve as enzymes, transport proteins, receptor proteins, and recognition proteins.

  28. Section 4 How Do We See Cells?

  29. How Do We See Cells? • Microscopy allows us to see cells and their pieces. • Many types of microscopes exist, which can produce many types of pictures (micrographs): • Light microscopes use light to see samples; specimens usually must be thin and colored with dyes to be seen. Figure 3.8a

  31. How Do We See Cells? • Electron microscopes use beams of electrons rather than light to see details; transmission and scanning electron microscopy can magnify (enlarge) specimens far beyond the limits of the light microscope. Figure 3.8b-c

  33. Section 5 The Nucleus

  34. The Nucleus • The nucleus encloses DNA, the building code for cellular proteins. • Its membrane isolates DNA from the sites (ribosomes in the cytoplasm) where proteins will be assembled. • The nuclear membrane helps regulate the exchange of signals between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

  35. The Nucleus • A nuclear envelope encloses the nucleus. • The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayers with pores. • The envelope membranes are continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

  38. The Nucleus • The nucleolus is where cells make the units of ribosomes. • The nucleolus appears as a dense mass inside the nucleus. • In this region, subunits of ribosomes are prefabricated before ship­ment out of the nucleus.

  39. The Nucleus • DNA is organized in chromosomes. • Chromatin describes the cell’s collection of DNA plus the proteins associated with it. • Each chromosome is one DNA molecule and its associated proteins.

  40. The Nucleus • Events that begin in the nucleus continue to unfold in the cell cytoplasm. • Outside the nucleus, new polypeptide chains for proteins are assembled on ribosomes. • Some proteins are stockpiled; others enter the endomembrane system.

  42. Section 6 The Endomembrane System

  43. The Endomembrane System • ER is a protein and lipid assembly line. • The endoplasmic reticulum is a collection of interconnected tubes and flattened sacs, continuous with the nuclear membrane. • Rough ER consists of stacked, flattened sacs with many ribosomes attached; oligosaccharide groups are attached to polypeptides as they pass through on their way to other organelles, membranes, or to be secreted from the cell.

  44. The Endomembrane System • Smooth ER has no ribosomes; it is the area from which vesicles carrying proteins and lipids are budded; it also inactivates harmful chemicals and aids in muscle contraction. • Golgi bodies “finish, pack, and ship.” • In the Golgi body, proteins and lipids undergo final processing, sorting, and packag­ing. • The Golgi bodies resemble stacks of flattened sacs whose edges break away as vesicles.

  45. The Endomembrane System • A variety of vesicles move substances into and through cells. • Lysosomes are vesicles that bud from Golgi bodies; they carry powerful enzymes that can digest the contents of other vesicles, worn-out cell parts, or bacteria and foreign particles. • Peroxisomes are membrane-bound sacs of enzymes that break down fatty acids and amino acids.
