  1. The Cell in Action Chapter 4

  2. Exchange with the environment Section 1

  3. Introduction • An organism must be able to obtain energy and raw materials and get rid of wastes • These functions keep cells healthy so that they can divide • Cell division allows organisms to grow and repair injuries • The exchange of materials between a cell and its environment takes place at the cell’s membrane

  4. What is Diffusion? • Diffusion: the movement from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration • Diffusion happens within and between living cells • Diffusion also happens between non-living things • Diffusion does not require energy

  5. What is Diffusion? • Diffusion of Water • Osmosis: the diffusion of water through cell membranes • So important to life processes so it gets a special name • Important to cell processes • Also occurs in plant cells • Semipermeable: only certain substances can pass through

  6. Moving Small Particles • Channels: where small particles (such as sugars) cross the cell membrane • Made up of proteins in the cell membrane • Particles move by either passive or active transport • Passive transport: the movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy • Particles move from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration • Examples: diffusion, osmosis

  7. Moving Small Particles • Particles move by either passive or active transport • Active transport: a process of transporting particles that requires the cell to use energy • Usually involves the movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

  8. Moving Large Particles • Large particles move into and out of the cell by processes called endocytosis and exocytosis • Endocytosis: the active-transport process by which a cell surrounds a large particle (ex: large protein) and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell

  9. Moving Large Particles • Exocytosis • Exocytosis: active-transport process in which large particles (ex: wastes) leave the cell • A vesicle forms around a large particle within the cell • The vesicle carries the particle to the cell membrane • The vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases the particle to the outside of the cell

  10. Cell energy Section 2

  11. From Sun to Cell • Nearly all of the energy that fuels life comes from the sun • Photosynthesis: process in which plants capture energy from the sun and change it into food

  12. From Sun to Cell • Photosynthesis • Pigments: molecules in plant cells that absorb light energy • Chlorophyll is the main pigment used • Plants use the energy captured by chlorophyll to change carbon dioxide and water into food • Food is in the form of the simple sugar glucose • Glucose is a carbohydrate • Photosynthesis also produces oxygen

  13. Getting Energy from Food • Animal cells have different ways of getting energy • Cellular respiration: uses oxygen to break down food • Fermentation: the breakdown of food without the use of oxygen

  14. Getting Energy from Food • Cellular respiration • During cellular respiration, food (such as glucose) is broken down into CO2 and H2O, and energy is released • Most of the process of cellular respiration takes place in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells • In eukaryotic cells, cellular respiration takes place mostly in the mitochondria

  15. Getting Energy from Food • Connection between photosynthesis and respiration • Photosynthesis: cells use CO2 to make glucose, and the cells release O2 • Cellular respiration: cells use O2 to break down glucose and release energy and CO2 • Each process makes the materials that are needed for the other process to occur elsewhere

  16. Getting Energy from Food • Fermentation • When muscle cells can’t get the oxygen needed for cellular respiration, they use fermentation to get energy • Causes burning sensation • Another type of fermentation occurs in some bacteria and in yeast

  17. The Cell Cycle Section 3

  18. The Life of a Cell • Cell cycle: the life cycle of a cell • Begins when the cell is formed and ends when the cell divides and forms new cells • Before a cell divides, it must make a copy of its DNA • DNA is organized into chromosomes • Copying chromosomes ensure that each new cell will be an exact copy of its parent cell

  19. The Life of a Cell • Making More Prokaryotic Cells • Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes and a singular, circular DNA molecule but don’t have membrane-enclosed organelles • Binary fission: cell division in bacteria; means “splitting into two parts”

  20. The Life of a Cell • Eukaryotic Cells and Their DNA • The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells contain more DNA than those of prokaryotic cells do • Homologous chromosomes: chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure

  21. The Life of a Cell • Making More Eukaryotic Cells • The eukaryotic cell cycle includes three stages: • Interphase • Cell grows and copies its organelles and chromosomes • Mitosis • Chromatids separate • Complicated chromosome separation process • Ensures that each new cell receives a copy of each chromosome • Four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase • Cytokinesis • Cell splits in two; these cells are identical to each other and the parent cell

  22. Interphase Metaphase Anaphase Prophase Telophase Cytokinesis • Interphase • Before mitosis begins, chromosomes are copied. Each chromosome is then two chromosomes. • Mitosis • Prophase: mitosis begins; the nuclear membrane dissolves.; chromosomes condense into rod-like structures. • Metaphase: the chromosomes line up at the equator

  23. Interphase Metaphase Anaphase Prophase Telophase Cytokinesis • Mitosis • Anaphase: chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell • Telophase: nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes; chromosomes unwind; mitosis stops • Cytokinesis • Cell pinches in two

  24. Mitosis and the Cell Cycle • Cytokinesis • In animal cells, division of the cytoplasm begins at the cell membrane • Cell membrane begins to pinch inward to form a groove, which eventually pinches all the way through the cell • Two daughter cells form • Division of cytoplams • In cells with cell walls, a cell plate forms in the middle of the cell • Cell plate contains the materials for the new membranes and cell walls
