THE EXAM
How did you feel about the exam?
1. I was ready, and I did well2. I was ready, but I didn’t do well3. I wasn’t sure I was ready, but I feel I did well4. I wasn’t ready, and I bombed!5. IDK???
I’m so sick today
• Sorry I’m not there today, but I’m sick as a dog. Ear hurts, throat hurts, and rather than spread illness, I’m going to stay home today.
• Please read through the slides, and reference them in the book. You should read Chapter 3 THOROUGHLY. It was the weakest part of the exam.
Humans, deep down, may be part bacteria.
How can that be?
3-4. All cells are bordered by plasma membranes.
Why are plasma membranes such complex structures?
They perform several critical functions.
Food and nutrients inWater inWaste outExport moleculesAbsorb or release heat
3.5 Molecules embedded within the plasma membrane help it perform its functions.
What determines whether a protein resides on the surface or extends through the bilayer?
There are four primary types of membrane proteins, each of which performs a different function.
Lipids that make up the cell membrane are hydrophobic. Hydrophilic molecules, like glucose, cannot cross this barrier. What major component of the plasma membrane helps glucose get into and out of the cell?1. Phospholipids2. Carbohydrates3. Nucleic acids4. Proteins5. Fatty acids

The Plasma Membrane “Fluid Mosaic”
In addition to proteins, two other molecules are found in the plasma membrane:
1. Short, branched carbohydrate chains 2. Cholesterol – lipid (keeps it flexible)
Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch are considered warm water fish, whereas certain species of char are found in the arctic. Which fish do you think might have the most cholesterol in the membranes of its cells?
1. Smallmouth Bass2. Yellow Perch3. Arctic char4. Both 1 and 2 are
correct.

3.6 Faulty membranes can cause disease.
Cystic Fibrosis
3.7 Membrane surfaces have a “fingerprint” that identifies the cell.
Cells with an improper fingerprint are recognized as foreign and are attacked by your body’s defenses.
Why is it extremely unlikely that a person will
catch HIV from casual contact—
such as shaking hands—with an infected
individual?
Which of the cell membrane functions below is possible due to the presence of proteins in the plasma membrane?
1. The cell membrane determines what molecules will enter or leave the cell.
2. The cell membrane contains proteins that can bind to messages sent from other cells and relay the message to the interior of the cell.
3. The cell membrane contains proteins that act as a fingerprint for distinguishing between self and foreign cells.
4. Both 1 and 2 are correct.5. All of the above.

Diffusion and Concentration Gradients
• Solutes
• Solvents
How do laxatives relieve constipation?
Milk of magnesia and magnesium salts
Water moves via osmosis from the cells into the intestines.
An amoeba (a single-celled protist) is placed in a solution. The volume of the cell increases (cell swells). Which statement below is the correct interpretation of this result?1. The amoeba is in a hypertonic
solution.2. Water is moving into the
amoeba.3. The amoeba is in a isotonic
solution.4. Water is moving out of the
amoeba.

Three types of endocytosis:
1. Phagocytosis
2. Pinocytosis
3. Receptor-mediated endocytosis
How can a lack of communication between cells lead to cancer?
Contact inhibition
Tumors
Plasmodesmata
Tube-like channels connecting the cells to each other and enabling communication and transport between them
Consider a plant as one big cell?
3.14 Cytoplasm and cytoskeleton: the cell’s internal environment, physical support, and movement.
Cytoskeleton: Three Chief Purposes
Endosymbiosis
Mitochondria may have existed as separate single-celled, bacteria-like organisms billions of years ago.
Mitochondria have their own DNA!
We all have more DNA from one parent than
the other.
Who is the bigger contributor: mom or dad?
Why?
Lysosomesround, membrane-enclosed, acid-filled
vesicles that function as garbage disposals
Which cellular component would be responsible for the classic shape of a red blood cell?
1. Nucleus2. Cytoskeleton3. Lysosome4. Mitochondria

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Which cells below would have the smoothest endoplasmic reticulum?
1. Kidney cells2. Kidney cells of an
alcoholic3. Liver cells4. Liver cells of an
alcoholic

How can long-term use of one drug increase your resistance to another, different drug that you have never encountered?
3.18 Golgi apparatus: Where the cell processes products for delivery throughout the body
3.19 The cell wall provides additional protection and support for plant cells
3.20 Vacuoles: multipurpose storage sacs for cells
3.21 Chloroplasts: the plant cell’s power plant
