• The living cell has to maintain an internal balance. (homeostasis)

• The plasma membrane is selectively permeable – it allows some substances to cross membrane, but blocks others.

Biology 11 91

The fluid-mosaic model describes the plasma membrane of animal cells.

The plasma membrane that surrounds these cells has two layers (a bilayer) of phospholipids (fats with phosphorous attached), which at body temperature are like vegetable oil (fluid).

Page 92: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• Each phospholipid molecule has a head that is attracted to water (hydrophilic: hydro = water; philic = loving) and a tail that repels water (hydrophobic: hydro = water; phobic = fearing).

• Both layers of the plasma membrane have the hydrophilic heads pointing toward the outside; the hydrophobic tails form the inside of the bilayer.

Biology 11 92

Page 93: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• Because cells reside in a watery solution (extracellular fluid), and they contain a watery solution inside of them (cytoplasm), the plasma membrane forms a circle around each cell so that the water-loving heads are in contact with the fluid, and the water-fearing tails are protected on the inside.

Biology 11 93

Page 94: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• There are no chemical bonds between the phospholipid molecules – they are free to move around laterally.

• Proteins are found throughout the plasma membrane that can also move around, like icebergs in a sea of phospholipids

Biology 11 94

Page 95: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• Carbohydrates can also be attached to the outer surface of the plasma membrane.

– Carb. attached to a phospholipid = glycolipid

– Carb. attached to a protein = glycoprotein

Biology 11 95

Page 96: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• Proteins and substances such as cholesterol become embedded in the bilayer, giving the membrane the look of a mosaic.

• Because the plasma membrane has the consistency of vegetable oil at body temperature, the proteins and other substances are able to move across it.

Biology 11 96

Page 97: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• The molecules that are embedded in the plasma membrane also serve a purpose.

• For example, the cholesterol that is stuck in there makes the membrane more stable and prevents it from solidifying when your body temperature is low.

• Two parts of a Solution:

–Solute• A substance dissolved in another substance,

usually in lesser amount.

Cell TransportCell Transport

Page 104: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Diffusion• Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an

area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Page 105: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Cell Transport

• There are three types of cell transport:

– Simple Diffusion

– Facilitated Diffusion

– Active Transport

Page 106: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Passive Transport

• Passive Transport: Movement of materials across the cell membrane going with the concentration gradient (from a region of greater concentration to a region of lesser concentration).

Simple Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion are both examples of Passive Transport

• *Cell uses no energy to transport particles!

Page 107: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Simple Diffusion

• No transport protein used

• Movement with the concentration gradient (high to low)

• No additional cell energy required

• Examples: water, oxygen, carbon dioxide.

Page 108: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Homeostasis

• To maintain a stable, constant condition.

• To maintain equilibrium.

• The cell wants its internal environment to be the same as its external environment.

Page 109: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Concentration Gradient

• When there is a difference in concentrations:– High concentration means more particles– Low concentration means less particles

– In diffusion, particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration to reach on EQUAL concentration (equilibrium) on each side.

Page 110: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Passive Transport Examples

• a) Osmosis – specific type of diffusion (can you remember the definition??)

• b) Facilitated diffusion – Process by which molecules diffuse across a cell membrane with the aid of transport proteins. This is for particles that cannot dissolve into the lipid bi-layer or are too large to pass through.

• A solution that has the same concentration of solutes as the cell.

• Therefore there is no net movement of water molecules

Biology 11 112

Page 113: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Hypertonic

• The solution has higher concentration of solutes then the cell.

• Therefore there will be a net movement OUT of the cell.

Page 114: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• A solution that has a lower concentration of solutes than the cell.

• There will be a net movement of water into the cell.

Hypotonic

Page 115: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Osmotic Pressure

• This is the pressure that water exerts on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeably membrane.

• It can be problematic for living cells because they can burst from over-inflation with water or shrivel up from loss of water.

Facilitated Diffusion

• Transport protein used: carrier protein or channel protein

• Movement with the concentration gradient

• No additional cell energy required

• Passive

• Example: glucose molecules

Page 119: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Facilitated Diffusion

• Similar to simple diffusion in the sense that it is diffusion (across a membrane) from a high concentration to a lower concentration.

• However, this time the rate of diffusion is greatly accelerated by the action of membrane proteins that act as carrier molecules and aid in diffusion.

Active Transport

• Molecular Active Transport: Movement of materials across the cell membrane going against the concentration gradient (from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration).

• *Requires energy from cell!

Page 123: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Active Transport

• Transport protein used: Carrier Protein

• Movement AGAINST the concentration gradient (low to high)

• Additional cell energy required

• Active

Sodium Potassium Pump

Page 124: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Active Transport

• Molecular active transport involves protein pumps.

• Examples of active transport:– Cells in Gills of marine fish actively pump out

salts.– Root cells of plants often take in large

quantities of ions.

Bulk Membrane Transport

• Active transport (requires energy)

• Requires the creation of vacuoles and vesicles

• Two types:– Endocytosis– Exocytosis

Animation

Page 128: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Endocytosis• Endocytosis: The process by which the plasma

membrane engulfs and takes in substances from a cell’s environment. *Common in unicellular organisms.

• 2 types:– i) Phagocytosis: Form of endocytosis in which large

solid particles are taken into the cell. Example – WBC’s engulfing harmful bacteria

– ii) Pinocytosis: Form of endocytosis in which small liquid droplets are taken into the cell. a.k.a. cell drinking

Phagocytosis

Page 131: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Exocytosis

• Exocytosis: Cell products or wastes are enclosed in vesicles and released to outside of cell.

• Process:– Golgi Apparatus “packages” the material into a vesicle and

sends it to the cell membrane– The vesicle fuses with the membrane– The material is deposited outside the cell

*Reverse process of endocytosis.

• Examples = secretion or elimination of waste

Biology 11 133

Page 134: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

What is energy?• Energy is the capacity to do work.

• All living this require energy, but how do they get it?

• There are two ways to receive energy,– Produce it– Consume it

Page 135: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Photosynthesis

• The sun is the main source of energy for the earth.

• Autotrophs make their own food, and most are green plants.

• This is done through the process of Photosynthesis.

Page 136: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Photosynthesis

• We know photosynthesis requires energy from the sun, but the sun is not available 24 hours a day!

• Photosynthesis must occur in two phases:– Light dependent reactions

• Convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH)

– Light independent reactions• Uses ATP and NADPH from the light dependent

reactions to build glucose.

Page 137: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic
Page 138: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Role of Photosynthesis• Plants use it to make food

• Animals get their food from plants, so therefore, from photosynthesis as well (consumers)

• Photosynthesis also produces oxygen which most living things need to respire and live.

Page 139: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

The process of photosynthesis

• Light is trapped by chlorophyll and provides energy for photosynthesis

• Sunlight energy is used to split water in half (photolysis)

Page 140: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

The process of photosynthesis

• Products from splitting water:– Protons stored for later use– Electrons Passed to chorophyll– Oxygen can be used in respiration or

release

• Light energized the electrons and turns them into high energy electrons. These are passed down an electron transport chain

Page 141: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Electron Transport Chain

• Is a series of proteins on the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

• Electrons are passed from one protein to another, and energy is released which:– Helps join ADP and phosphate to form ATP– Allows hydrogen to join with NADP to form

NADPH– Both forms of energy are used in light

independent reactions.

Page 142: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Process of Photosynthesis

• Glucose is formed when the high energy electrons, protons from storage and carbon dioxide from air are combined.

• This is takes place in chloroplasts and is known as the Calvin Cycle. This is a part of the light independent reactions.

Page 143: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

The Calvin Cycle• 1. Grab: A five-carbon carbon catcher catches

one molecule of carbon dioxide and forms a six-carbon molecule.

• 2. Split: the enzyme RuBisCO (with the energy of ATP and NADPH molecules) breaks the six-carbon molecule into two equal parts.

• NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a coenzyme that carries electrical energy used in cellular processes.

Page 144: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

The Calvin Cycle• 3. Leave: A trio of three carbons leave and

become sugar. The other trio moves on to the next step.

• 4. Switch: Using ATP and NADPH, the three carbon molecule is changed into a five carbon molecule.

• 5. The cycle starts over again

Page 145: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Photosynthesis• Once sugars are created through the calvin cycle,

mitochondria can now use it for cellular respiration.

• The mitochondria uses glucose, or sugars, to create ATP which is a usable energy for the cell.

• This not only occurs in plant cells, but in our own cells as well. By consuming other plants and animals, our body uses the sugars ( carbohydrates) that we eat into usable energy by mitochondra.

• Name two molecules that are produced during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis and serve as temporary sites for energy storage.

• In eukaryotic cells, photosynthesis occurs in organelles named?

• True or False The Calvin cycle (= light-independent reactions) can occur in a plant that is in dark room so long as the materials carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADP-H are present.

Cellular Respiration

• Process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP in plants and animals.

• Nutrients + Oxygen Water + ATP + CO2

Page 149: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Cellular respiration

• Changes organic chemical energy (glucose) into inorganic chemical energy (ATP)

• Three stages of cellular respiration– Glycolosis

• Anaerobic ( does not require oxygen)

– Krebs Cycle• Aerobic ( requires oxygen)

– Electron Transport Chain• Aerobic (requires oxygen)

Page 150: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Glycolysis

• Breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid

• Uses enzymes and takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell

• Produces– 2 pyruvic acid molecules – used in next step

of cellular respiration– 2 ATP molecules –energy for the cell– 2 NADH – electron carrier

Page 151: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

• Before the next step of cellular respiration, the pyruvic acid molecules formed in the glycolysis must go into the mitochondria.

• The next two aerobic reactions will then form:

Pyruvic acid CO2 + Water + ATP

Page 152: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Krebs Cycle

• Is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

• Provides the hydrogen and electrons needed for the electron transport chain, which happens in the mitochondria.

Page 153: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Krebs Cycle

• The following is formed during the Krebs Cycle:

– 2 Molecules of CO2 are released– 2 Molecules of ATP are formed– 3 molecules of NAD+ are combined with

hydrogen ( NAD+ NADH)– 1 molecule of FAD+ combines with hydrogen

( FAD+ FADH)

Page 154: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic
Page 155: Cellular Functions Ms. Durnford, Winter 2013. Chapter 1 –The Cell Theory –Cell Structure –Organelles –Animal and Plant Cells Chapter 2 –Nutrients –Nucleic

Electron Transport Chain

• Following the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain uses the electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) to pass electrons down a protein chain and slowly releases energy that is used to form ATP and water molecules.

• This transfers the most energy.
