Slide 1

Eukaryotes vs Prokaryotes Plasma Membrane

Slide 2

All cells contain organelles Small, specialized structures Has a specific function in the cell Prokaryotes Do not contain any membrane-bound organelles Most unicellular organisms Example: bacteria Eukaryotes Contain membrane-bound organelles Most multicellular oranisms Example: humans Note: amoebas, algae and yeast are unicellular but eukaryotes

Slide 3

Eukaryotic cells are generally 1- 100 time bigger than prokaryotes

Slide 4

Slide 5

Slide 6

Organelle= little organ Found only inside eukaryotic cells Everything in a cell except the nucleus is cytoplasm Clear, gelatinous fluid inside the cell

Slide 7

Boundary of the cell Made of a phospholipid bilayer

Slide 8

Acts as skeleton and muscle Provides shape and structure Helps move organelles around the cell Made of three types of filaments

Slide 9

Control center of the cell Contains chromatin, strands of genetic material ( DNA ) that condense to make chromosomes Surrounded by a double membrane Usually the easiest organelle to see under a microscope Usually one per cell

Slide 10

Inside the nucleus Makes ribosomes

Slide 11

Site of protein synthesis Found attached to rough ER or floating free in cytoplasm Produced in a part of the nucleus called the nucleolus That looks familiarwhat is a polypeptide?

Slide 12

A.k.a. ER Connected to nuclear membrane Highway of the cell Rough ER: studded with ribosomes; it makes proteins Smooth ER: no ribosomes; it makes lipids

Slide 13

Looks like a stack of plates Stores, modifies and packages proteins Molecules transported to and from the Golgi by means of vesicles

Slide 14

Garbage disposal of the cell Contain digestive enzymes that break down wastes Which organelles do lysosomes work with?

Slide 15

Powerhouse of the cell Cellular respiration occurs here to release energy for the cell to use Bound by a double membrane Has its own strand of DNA Which type of cell do you think has the most mitochondria present?

Slide 16

Found in plant and bacterial cells Rigid, protective barrier Located outside of the cell membrane Made of cellulose (fiber)

Slide 17

Found only in plant cells Contains the green pigment chlorophyll Site of food (glucose) production Bound by a double membrane

Slide 18

Large central vacuole usually in plant cells Many smaller vacuoles in animal cells Storage container for water, food, enzymes, wastes, pigments, etc.

Slide 19

Aids in cell division Usually found only in animal cells Made of microtubules Where else have we talked about microtubules?

Slide 20

Which organelle is the control center of the cell? Nucleus Which organelle holds the cell together? Cell membrane Which organelles are not found in animal cells? Cell wall, central vacuole, chloroplasts Which organelle helps plant cells make food? Chloroplasts What does E.R. stand for? Endoplasmic reticulum

Slide 21

Slide 22

Flexible boundary between the cell and its environment Allows a steady supply of nutrients (ie: glucose, amino acids, lipids) to come into the cell no matter what the external conditions are

Slide 23

Too much of any nutrient can be harmful to the cell If levels become too high the excess is removed through the plasma membrane Maintains cells balance (homeostasis)

Slide 24

Selective permeability: a process in which a membrane allows some molecules to pass through while keeping others out Similar to a window screen (lets fresh air in but keeps most insects out) Water is allowed to freely enter but other particles such as sodium and calcium ions must be allowed into the cell only at certain times

Slide 25

Recall: Lipids are large molecules composed of Glycerol + 3 fatty acids If a phosphate group replaces a fatty acid then a phospholipid is formed. Glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphate group Polar Head (includes phosphate group Nonpolar tail (fatty acids) Phospolipid Molecule

Slide 26

Has 2 layers of phospholipids back to back

Slide 27

Drawing must be similar to drawing on page 177 and must include: A title Labeled parts Colored On back of drawing: Facts about the phospholipid bilayer All bold faced words (include definitions) Additional Facts should include information you think is important? (at least 8 facts in addition to bold faced words)

Slide 28

2 fatty acid tails nonpolar (hydrophobic) Avoids water Head containing phosphate group polar (hydrophilic) Allows the cell membrane to interact with its watery environment Water molecules will not easily move through the barrieer because they are stopped by the water insoluble layer of fatty acid tails.

Slide 29

Fluid Mosaic Model Model of plasma membrane describes the plasma membrane as a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins Phospholipids move within the membrane just like water molecules move with currents in a lake Proteins also move (like boats with their decks above water and hulls below) Proteins create a mosaic or pattern

Slide 30

Other components of the membrane: Cholesterol Helps to stabilize the phospholipids by preventing fatty acid tails from sticking together Transport proteins Span the entire membrane Help form the selectively permeable membrane that regulates which molecules enter and which molecules leave Move needed substances and waste through the plasma membrane
