Membrane Transport Definitions
• Diffusion
Random movement down a
concentration gradient (from higher to
lower concentration)
• Osmosis
Movement of water across a membrane
down a gradient in osmotic pressure
(from lower to higher osmotic pressure)

The Cell Membrane
Key Note
Things tend to even out, unless
something—like a cell membrane—
prevents this from happening. Across
a freely permeable or water permeable
membrane, diffusion and osmosis will
quickly eliminate concentration
gradients.

The Cell Membrane
Osmotic Effects of Solutions on Cells
• Isotonic—Cells maintain normal size and
shape
• Hypertonic—Cells lose water osmotically
and shrink and shrivel
• Hypotonic—Cells gain water osmotically
and swell and may burst.

water
• Water crosses membrane
• Solute follows water
• Filtration initiates urine
formation

Carrier-Mediated Transport
• Membrane proteins as carriers
• Facilitated diffusion (no ATP required)
• Co-transport
• Counter-transport
• Active transport (ATP consumed)
• Independent of concentration
gradients

mRNA codon.
mRNA strand
The first amino acid is detached from
its tRNA and is joined to the second
amino acid by a peptide bond. The
ribosome moves one codon farther
along the mRNA strand; the first
tRNA detaches as another tRNA
arrives.
The chain elongates until the stop
codon is reached; the components
then separate.

The Nucleus
Key Note
Genes are the functional units of DNA
that contain the instructions for making
one or more proteins. The creation of
specific proteins involves multiple
enzymes and three types of RNA.

The Cell Life Cycle
Mitotic Phases
• Prophase
• Chromosomes condense
• Chromatids connect at centromeres
• Metaphase
• Chromatid pairs align at metaphase plate
• Anaphase
• Daughter chromosomes separate
• Telophase
• Nuclear envelopes reform

Mitosis is the separation of
duplicated chromosomes into
two identical sets and nuclei in
the process of somatic cell
division.

The Cell Life Cycle
Cell Division and Cancer
• Abnormal cell growth
• Tumors (also called, neoplasm)
• Benign
• Encapsulated
• Malignant
• Invasion
• Metastasis
• Cancer—Disease that results from a
malignant tumor
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Cell Life Cycle
Key Note
Cancer results from mutations that
disrupt the control mechanism that
regulates cell growth and division.
Cancers most often begin where
cells are dividing rapidly, because
the more chromosomes are copied,
the greater the chances of error.

Cell Diversity and Differentiation
Somatic Cells
• All have same genes
• Some genes inactivate during
development
• Cells thus become functionally
specialized
• Specialized cells form distinct tissues
• Tissue cells become differentiated
