3. MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

4. Membranes are a fluid mosaic of phospholipids and proteins Membranes are composed of phospholipids and proteins –Membranes are commonly described as a fluid mosaic –This means that the surface appears mosaic because of the proteins embedded in the phospholipids and fluid because the proteins can drift about in the phospholipids Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

5. Phospholipid bilayer Hydrophobic regions of protein Hydrophilic regions of protein

6. Hydrophilic head WATER Hydrophobic tail WATER

7. Membranes are a fluid mosaic of phospholipids and proteins Many membrane proteins function as enzymes, others in signal transduction, while others are important in TRANSPORT –Because membranes allow some substances to cross or be transported more easily than others, they exhibit selectively permeability –Nonpolar molecules (carbon dioxide and oxygen) cross easily –Polar molecules (glucose and other sugars) do not cross easily Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

8. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane with NO ENERGY (ATP) investment Diffusion is a process in which particles spread out evenly in an available space –Particles move from an area of more concentrated particles to an area where they are less concentrated –This means that particles diffuse down their concentration gradient –Eventually, the particles reach equilibrium where the concentration of particles is the same throughout Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

9. Molecules of dye MembraneEquilibrium

10. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane It is crucial for cells that water moves across their membrane –Water moves across membranes in response to solute concentration inside and outside of the cell by a process called osmosis –Osmosis will move water across a membrane down its concentration gradient until the concentration of solute is equal on both sides of the membrane Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

11. Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms Tonicity is a term that describes the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water –Tonicity is dependent on the concentration of a nonpenetrating (one that cannot cross the membrane) solute on both sides of the membrane –Isotonic indicates that the concentration of a solute is the same on both sides –Hypertonic indicates that the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell –Hypotonic indicates a higher concentration of solute inside the cell Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

12. Comparison of Solutions A B C A and B are ISOTONIC B is HYPOTONIC to C C is HYPERTONIC to B WHICH SOLUTION HAS THE MOST WATER??? 20% Sucrose 40% Sucrose

13. OSMOSIS Water moves from higher water to lower water concentration, so… Water ALWAYS moves from a HYPOTONIC environment to a HYPERTONIC environment

14. Isotonic solution (B) Lysed(C) Shriveled (D) Flaccid(E) Turgid (F) Shriveled Hypertonic solution Hypotonic solution Plant cell Animal cell (A) Normal Plasma membrane (plasmolyzed)

15. Transport proteins may facilitate diffusion across membranes Many substances that are necessary for viability of the cell do not freely diffuse across the membrane –They require the help of specific transport proteins –These proteins assist in facilitated diffusion, a type of passive transport that does not require energy Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

16. Solute molecule Transport protein

17. Cells expend energy (ATP) in the Active Transport of a solute against its concentration gradient Cells have a mechanism for moving a solute against its concentration gradient –It requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

18. Transport protein Solute Solute binding 1 Phosphorylation 2 Transport 3 Protein changes shape Protein reversion 4 Phosphate detaches

19. Exocytosis and Endocytosis transport large molecules across membranes A cell uses two mechanisms for moving large molecules across membranes –Exocytosis is used to export bulky molecules, such as proteins or polysaccharides –Endocytosis is used to import substances useful to the livelihood of the cell In both cases, material to be transported is packaged within a vesicle that fuses with the membrane Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

20. Exocytosis and endocytosis transport large molecules across membranes There are three kinds of endocytosis –Phagocytosis is engulfment of a particle by wrapping cell membrane around it, forming a vacuole –Pinocytosis is the same thing except that fluids are taken into small vesicles –Receptor-mediated endocytosis is where receptors in a receptor-coated pit interact with a specific protein, initiating formation of a vesicle Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

21. Phagocytosis EXTRACELLULAR FLUID Pseudopodium CYTOPLASM Food vacuole “Food” or other particle Pinocytosis Plasma membrane Vesicle Coated vesicle Coated pit Specific molecule Receptor-mediated endocytosis Coat protein Receptor Coated pit Material bound to receptor proteins Plasma membrane Food being ingested

22. ENERGY AND THE CELL: METABOLISM Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

23. Cells transform energy as they perform work Cells are small units, a chemical factory, housing thousands of chemical reactions (METABOLISM) –The result of reactions is maintenance of the cell, manufacture of cellular parts, and replication Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

24. Two laws govern energy transformations It is important to understand two laws that govern energy transformations in organisms –The first law of thermodynamics—energy in the universe is constant (Energy cannot be created or destroyed…only transformed) –The second law of thermodynamics—energy conversions increase the disorder of the universe –Life’s highly ordered existence causes overall disorder of the universe!!!

25. Chemical reactions either release or store energy An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy: – These are degradative reactions –Cellular respiration: glucose is “burned” with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, and energy, in the form of ATP and heat, is released Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

26. Chemical reactions either release or store energy An endergonic reaction requires an input of energy: –These reactions are biosynthetic –Photosynthesis makes energy-rich sugar (glucose) molecules from carbon dioxide and water using energy in sunlight Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

27. Chemical reactions either release or store energy A living organism produces thousands of endergonic and exergonic chemical reactions –All of these combined is called metabolism Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

28. ATP (adenosine triphosphate): is the energy currency of cells. –ATP is the immediate source of energy that powers most forms of cellular work. –It is the connection between the exergonic and endergonic portions of the metabolism –It is composed of adenine (a nitrogenous base), ribose (a five-carbon sugar), and three phosphate groups. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. ATP shuttles chemical energy and drives cellular work

29. Energy from exergonic reactions Energy for endergonic reactions

30. HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

31. Enzymes speed up the cell’s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers The cell uses catalysis to drive (speed up) biological reactions –Catalysis is accomplished by enzymes, which are proteins that function as biological catalysts –Each enzyme has a particular target molecule called the substrate Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

32. A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction Enzymes have unique three-dimensional shapes –The shape is critical to their role as biological catalysts –As a result of its shape, the enzyme has an active site where the enzyme interacts with the enzyme’s substrate Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

33. Enzyme available with empty active site Active site 1 Enzyme (sucrase)

34. Enzyme available with empty active site Active site 1 Enzyme (sucrase) Substrate binds to enzyme with induced fit 2 Substrate (sucrose) Substrate is converted to products 3

35. Enzyme available with empty active site Active site 1 Enzyme (sucrase) Substrate binds to enzyme with induced fit 2 Substrate (sucrose) Substrate is converted to products 3 Products are released 4 Fructose Glucose

36. A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction For optimum activity, enzymes require certain environmental conditions –Temperature is very important, and optimally, human enzymes function best at 37ºC, or body temperature –High temperature will denature human enzymes (the enzymes lose their 3D shape) –Enzymes also require a pH around neutrality (pH 7) for best results Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

37. A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction Some enzymes require nonprotein helpers –Cofactors are inorganic, such as zinc, iron, or copper –Coenzymes are organic molecules and are often vitamins Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
