Th e Structure of t h e Cell Wall
Differences, Plant and Animal CELLS -Presence of a CELL WALL IN PLANT
CELLS.Eg.Mushrooms /Yeast also have Cell Walls.Cell Walls of Fungi are made of CHITIN.
The cell wall is laid down during thedevelopment of cell and starts as a thinlayer of pectin, forms the middle lamella.

Cellulose, secreted by the outer part of thecytoplasm, is laid down on the inside surface of the middle lamella.
This cellulose layer constitutes the primary wall.
Extra layers of cellulose are laid down on theinside surface of the primary wall, which form thesecondary wall-laid down after cell reached maxsize.

Plasmodesmata and pits occur at intervals in the cellwall.
Plasmodesmata are fine cytoplasmic strands linking thecytoplasm of two neighbouring cells through fine pores inthe cell wall.
Pits arise in plases where the secondary wall is absent
altogether.
Where pits occur, two adjacent cells are separated bythe primary wall and middle lamella.

Th e Structure of t h e Cell
MembraneThe cell membrane (or plasma membrane) surrounds allliving cells, and is the cell's most important organelle.
The membranes that surround the nucleus and other organelles are almost identical to the cell membrane.
The Cell Membrane CONTROLS the ease with whichsubstances pass into and out of the cell-some
substances easily cross the membrane, while otherscannot cross at all. For this reason, the Cell Membraneis said to be SELEC TIVELY P ERMEABLE .

Th e p h osp h olipids are arranged in a bilayer, with their polar ,hy drop h ilic p h osp h ate h eads facing outwards ,
and their non-polar, hy drop h obic fatt y acid tails facing eac h ot h er in the middle of the bilayer.
Cell Membranes are made mostly of P HOS P HOLI P IDMOLECULES . (Phosphate + Lipid).
Lipid is a simple form of FAT.
Phospholipids are a kind of Lipid that consists of TWO FATTY ACIDS (TAILS), and PHOSPHATE GROUP (HEADS).
A Phospholipid Molecule has a POLAR "Head" and TwoNONPOLAR "Tails".
-
8/7/2019 Biology sem1- chap2
14/122

POLAR - The two ends of the Phospholipid Molecule have differentproperties in Water.
The Phosphate Head is HYDRO P HILIC meaning "WA TERLOVING" . Because of its hydrophilic nature, the head of aPhospholipid will orient itself so that it is as close as possible towater molecules.
The Lipid Tails are HYDRO P HOBIC meaning "WA TER- F EARING" ,the Hydrophobic tails will tend to orient themselves away from water.
This hydrophobic layer acts as a barrier to all but the smallestmolecules, effectively isolating the two sides of the membrane.
Different kinds of membranes can contain phospholipids withdifferent fatty acids, affecting the strength and flexibility of themembrane, and animal cell membranes also contain cholesterollinking the fatty acids together and so stabilising and strengtheningthe membrane.

P rotein A Variety of PROTEIN MOLECULES are EMBEDDED inthe Lipid Bilayer.
Some Proteins are Attached to the surface of the cellmembrane, these are called P ERI P HERAL P RO TEINS ,and are located on both the Internal and External
Surface.
The Proteins that are Embedded in the Lipid Bilayer arecalled INTEGRAL P RO TEINS .
Some Integral Proteins extend across the entire CellMembrane and are exposed to both the inside of the celland the exterior environment. Others extend only to theinside or only to the exterior surface.

There are many kinds of Proteins in membranes; they
HELP to MOVE Material INTO and OUT of the Cell.
Some Integral Proteins form Ch annels or P ores throughwhich certain substances can pass.
Other Proteins (carrier protein) will have a specificbinding site for the substance it transports.
Integral Proteins exposed to the Cell's External
environment often have Carbohydrates attached to themserve as identification badges that allow cells torecognize each other and may act as Site where virusesor chemical messengers such as hormones can attach.

Carbo hy dratesTh e carbo hy drates are attached to the membrane
proteins or sometimes to the phospholipids.Proteins with carbohydrates attached are calledglycoproteins,
While phospholipids with carbohydrates attached arecalled glycolipids.
The carbohydrates are short polysaccharides composedof a variety of different monosaccharides, and form a cell
coat or glycocalyx outside the cell membrane.The glycocalyx is involved in protection and cellrecognition, and antigens such as the ABO antigens onblood cells are usually cell-surface glycoproteins.

F LUID MOSAIC MODEL O F CELL
MEMBRANESThe Lipids and Proteins of the Cell Membrane arealways in motion.
Phospholipids are able to drift across the membrane,changing places with their neighbor.
Proteins in and on the membrane Form PATTERNS, or MOSAICS.
Because the Membrane is FLUID with a MOSAIC of Proteins, scientists call the modern view of MembraneStructure THE F LUID MOSAIC MODEL.
The Pattern, or "Mosaic" of Lipids and Proteins in theCell Membrane is Constantly Changing.

A few substances can diffuse directly through the lipidbilayer part of the membrane.
The only substances that can do this are lipid-solublemolecules such as steroids, or very small molecules,such as H2O, O2 and CO2.
For these molecules the membrane is no barrier at all.
Since simple diffusion is (obviously) a passive diffusionprocess, no energy is involved and substances can onlymove down their concentration gradient.
Simple diffusion cannot be controlled by the cell, in thesense of being switched on or off.

F acilitated diffusion via carrier proteins
A carrier protein will have a specific bindingsite for the substance it transports.
The substance will bind on the side where it ata high concentration and be released where itis at a low concentration.
Once they bind, the protein changes shapeand the molecules come off the binding siteon the other side of the membrane.

Ion C h annels / c h annel proteins do not really bind thesolute, but are like hydrophilic pores through themembrane that open and allow certain types of solutes,usuall y inorganic ions, to pass t h roug h .
In general, channels are quite specific for the type of solute they will transport and transport through channelsis quite a bit faster than by carrier proteins.
Channel Proteins form a water-filled pore or channel inthe membrane. This allows charged substances (usuallyions) to diffuse across membranes.

Most channels can be gated (opened or closed),allowing the cell to control the entry and exit of ions.
When the gate is open, the channel transports,and when the gate is closed, the channel isclosed.

The more concentrate a solution, the greater its osmoticpressure and the lower (more negative) its solutepotential.
Water moves from a region of higher (less negative)solute potential to one of lower (more negative) solutepotential.

Concept of water potential( Water potentials - )
``Osmosis can be quantified using water potential, so wecan calculate which way water will move, and how fast.
Water potential ( , the Greek letter psi, pronounced"sy") is simply the effective concentration of water. It ismeasured in units of pressure (Pa, or usually kPa), andthe rule is that water always "falls" from a high to a lowwater potential (in other words it's a bit like gravitypotential or electrical potential).
100% pure water has = = 0, which is the highestpossible water potential, so all solutions have < 0, andyou cannot get > 0.

The water potential of a solution is defined asthe tendency for water molecules to leave the
solution by osmosis.
The more concentrate a solution is, the lower isits water potential and the smaller the tendencyfor water to leave the solution.
In concentrate solution, most water molecules
are associated with solute molecules and aretherefore not free to move about.

ZERO.
Pressure
The term Hydrostatic Pressure is used to indicate the pressurecomponent of Water Potential.
Positive Pressures increase the Water Potential.
Positive Pressure would bring Water Molecules closer together.
Negative Pressures reduce Water Potential.
They pull water molecules further apart.
Th is lowers t h e potential energ y of water.
Water Potential = Solute (Osmotic) Potential + Pressure Potential

Hypotonic solution
When a red blood cell is placed in a solution whosewater potential is higher than that of the cell(hy potonic solution ), there will be a net gain of water by endomosmosis , causing t h e cell swell .
If a large volume of water entres the cell, th e cellburst and the content are realeased.
Because animal cell lacks a cell wall to prevent thecell form bursting.

Osmosis in plant cellsP lacing in a solution wit h a Hig h er water potential ( hy potonic)
Water will move through the plasma membrane andtonoplast, and into the vacuole by endosmosis.
The cell swells.
Does not burst because the cell wall is stretched anddevelops a tension, resisting further uptake of water intothe cell and therefore further expansion of the cell.

Osmosis in plant cellsP lacing in a solution wit h a Hig h er water potential ( hy potonic)
When water enters a plant cell, the cell contents start to
push against the inside of the cell wall.
In turn, the cell wall pushes back on the expanding cell(pressure potential ) and it opposes the continueduptake of water into the cell by endosmosis.
The pressure potential reaches its maximum when thecell wall is stretched as much as it can be and the cellcannot take in any more water ( full turgor is achieved).

Th e Sodium- P otassium P ump
The sodium-potassium pump uses activetransport to move 3 sodium ions to the outside of the cell for each 2 potassium ions that it movesin.
It is found in all human cells, especially nerveand muscle cells.
One third of the bodys energy expenditure isused to operate the sodium-potassium pump.

Examples of Active Transport
Plants move minerals (inorganic ions) into their roots byactive transport.
The gills of marine fish have cells that can remove saltfrom the body by pumping it into the salt water.
The thyroid gland cells bring in iodine for use inproducing hormones.
Cells in the vertebrate kidney reabsorb sodium ions fromurine.

Three sodium ions enter the pump.
ATP bonds to the pump.
One phosphate bond in the ATP molecule breaks,releasing its energy to the pump protein. The pumpprotein changes shape, releasing the sodium ions tothe outside.
The two potassium binding sites are also exposed tothe outside, allowing two potassium ions to enter thepump.

Bulk transport The processes described so far only apply to small
molecules.
Large molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharidesand nucleotides) and even whole cells are moved inand out of cells by using membrane vesicles.
Materials are released from cells by exocytosis or taken into cells by endocytosis. The processesdescribed so far only apply to small molecules.

Endoc ytosis is the transport of materials into acell.
Materials are enclosed by a fold of the cellmembrane, which then pinches shut to form aclosed vesicle.
There are two types of endocytosis: pinocytosis phagocytosis

Hormones and digestive enzymes aresecreted by exocytosis from the secretorycells of the intestine and endocrine glands.
Sometimes materials can pass straightthrough cells without ever making contactwith the cytoplasm by being taken in byendocytosis at one end of a cell andpassing out by exocytosis at the other end.
