Among these functions cells have to be able to capture and release energy, dispose of wastes, reproduce and some of them move. The microscopic world of cells is very diverse and includes two different types of cells: those without a nucleus (the bacteria), that are known as prokaryotic cells and are small and primitive; and those with a nucleus (plant, animal, protozoa, algae, and fungi) that are known as eukaryotic that are more advanced and generally larger than the more primitive types. Some cells are producers and make their own food internally. These cells are plants or protists, and most of them contain the organelles called chloroplasts. This is a specialized organelle that captures the sun’s energy using a pigment called chlorophyll. Once the sun’s energy has been absorbed the chloroplast uses carbon dioxide and water with the energy from the sun to make sugar molecules, specifically glucose which is the basic unit of energy for almost all living cells. All cells use energy in a process called respiration. Respiration and photosynthesis are chemical reactions that are exactly opposite to each other. Other cells are animal-like. These cells are consumers. They capture and consume other cells, some producers, and some other consumers. Another type of cell breaks down dead material, and wastes from other cells. This type of cell, many of them bacteria, and some that are protists, are decomposers. Eukaryotic cells contain structures called organelles, which are the sites for specific functions such of cellular metabolism that are really similar to what your organs do in your body. Cellular metabolism, like your metabolism, is a function of all the organelles in the cell working together to carry out the functions that make a cell a living thing. The cell membrane is the outer boundary of the cell, and regulates what materials can come into the cell, and what materials can pass out of the cell. Some materials, larger molecules, require the cell to expend energy to open special gates in the cell membrane to bring these materials inside. This is known as active transport. Active transport can be done in several ways, but is usually referred to as endocytosis. This term literally means to bring something inside the cell.. In one of the most common a cell, like an amoeba that has a very flexible cell membrane can surround a food item in a process called phagocytosis. It flow around the food item, and surrounds it, and then brings it into the cell. The term phagocytosis means that the cell surrounds an item and eats it. Other molecules, usually smaller ones like water, and some gases can pass through the cell membrane without requiring the cell to use any energy. This is known as passive transport. The most important kinds of passive transport are diffusion, where materials move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration until the amount of the material is about the same on each side of the membrane. This is referred to as equilibrium, and this is the point where diffusion stops. The diffusion of water has its own name. It is referred to as osmosis. Once material passes through the cell membrane it enters the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a semi-liquid gel that fills up the inside of the cell, and in which all the organelles are suspended. Water is very important to maintaining the cytoplasm in a healthy cell. Within the cytoplasm are tine fibers and microtubules that give the cell structure and support called the cytoskeleton. The nucleus of the cell is the center of the cell’s operations, and contains the DNA, the instructions for making everything the cell makes. Besides the DNA the nucleus also contains the nucleolus, a tiny organelle that makes ribosomes, the important protein assembling organelles in 7.L.1.2 the cell. Ribosomes move out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. To make proteins the DNA in the nucleus unzips and is coped by a special molecule called mRNA. The mRNA moves out into the cytoplasm to the ribosomes. There the ribosome reads the code for making a protein out of the amino acids that float around in the cell, taken or made from the cell’s food supply. A different molecule called tRNA takes amino acids to the ribosome, and the ribosome assembles proteins. Most of the structures in the cell are made from combinations of proteins. Materials that need to be moved around in the cell, proteins, food particles, or trash that needs to be ejected from the cell are packaged by a special organelle called a Golgi Body. The material to be moved is packed in a special package called a vesicle. In a way Golgi Bodies are like a combination of UPS and the trash collector. The eukaryotic cell has a special highway system that reaches from the nucleus to the cell membrane called the endoplasmic reticulum. This is a folded membrane that most materials are moved across as they are moved through the cell. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes embedded in it, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) does not. When a cell is breaking down sugar into food the sugar molecule moves across the cell membrane. In the cytoplasm it is broken down further by the lysosomes, or “breaking bodies” that use special enzymes to recycle worn out cell parts, break down food molecules, and destroy invading bacteria and viruses. When the sugar has been broken down by the lysosomes it is taken into the mitochondria where it is turned into simpler molecules that cell can use directly for energy. To remain alive and function optimally, cells must maintain a biological balance, or homeostasis, by controlling and regulating what gets into and out of the cell. Metabolism is the sum total of all chemical reactions involved in maintaining the living state of the cells, and thus the organism.
