Our friend, the cell all life is made of cells Cells come from other cells

Most cells are very small We use microscopes to look at them Some cells are not small

Plasma membrane Each phospholipid has hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail Hydrophilic head faces water Hydrophobic tail faces away from water two layers of tails face each other

Plasma membrane Fluid inside cell is part of cytoplasm, called intracellular fluid (ICF) Fluid outside cell is extracellular fluid (ECF) extracellular fluid intracellular fluid

14
Passive transport Move particles across membrane without using energy Diffusion particles moving down concentration gradient from area of high concentration to area of low concentration
15
Passive transport Osmosis diffusion of water across a permeable membrane Facilitated diffusion requires use of transport proteins to move across plasma membrane does not use energy high glucose concentration low glucose concentration
16
Passive transport Bulk filtration diffusion of solutes and solvents together across a membrane Ex. transport of water and nutrients from blood into extracellular fluid pushed by hydrostatic pressure (pressure of fluid against the wall of the blood vessel)
17
Active transport Movement of a substance across a plasma membrane AGAINST a concentration gradient from area of low concentration to area of high concentration Uses energy from ATP, and usually a transport protein to move the substance Pumps use ATP or kinetic energy of another particle moving down its gradientkinetic energy

Na + ATP Transport protein ATP binding site Phospholipid bilayer 1 Sodium-Potassium Pump 1. ATP binds to transport protein Binding changes shape of protein, allowing sodium to bind Extracellular fluid Cytoplasm
19
P ADP Na + Transport protein changes shape (requires energy from ATP breakdown) Breakdown of ATP releases energy K+K+ 2 Sodium-Potassium Pump 2. ATP separates into ADP and a phosphate group, releasing energy Transport protein uses energy to change shape Shape change releases sodium outside cell; binding sites for potassium open Extracellular fluid Cytoplasm

40
Lysosomes Lysosomes in immune cells (white blood cells) fuse with vacuole containing engulfed bacteria or virusimmune cells Cell recycles molecules from engulfed particles
41
Lysosome Digestion Vesicle containing damaged organelle (b) A lysosome breaking down the molecules of damaged organelles Lysosome s Lysosomes can break down old or damaged organelles within cell process called autophagy Cell can recycle parts to make new organelles Autolysis destroys whole cell when lysosomes break
42
Lysosomes In embryo, digest webbing between developing fingers if process doesn’t work correctly, digits are fused by skin fusion called syndactyly Programmed cell death is apoptosis body getting rid of old, unnecessary, or damaged cells

Lysosomes If lysosomes don’t work correctly, causes disease Tay-Sachs disease: nerve cells accumulate excess lipids causes deafness, lack of muscle tone fatal
