The Cell AP Biology Why are cells so small? Why can’t they be as huge as an hippo? AP Biology Overview: The Fundamental Units of Life All organisms are made of cells The cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive Cell structure is correlated to cellular function AP Biology Concept 6.1: Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells • In a light microscope (LM), visible light is passed through a specimen and then through glass lenses -Lenses refract (bend) the light, so that the image is magnified • Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen, providing images that look 3-D • Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) focus a beam of electrons onto the surface of a specimen, providing images that look 3-D AP Biology 0.1 m Length of some nerve and muscle cells Chicken egg Unaided eye Human height 1m 1 cm Frog egg Human egg Most plant and animal cells 10 m 1 m 100 nm Nucleus Most bacteria Mitochondrion Smallest bacteria Viruses Ribosomes 10 nm Proteins Lipids 1 nm AP Biology 0.1 nm Small molecules Atoms Superresolution microscopy Electron microscopy 100 m Light microscopy 1 mm Cell Fractionation Cell fractionation takes cells apart and separates the major organelles from one another AP Biology Figure 6.4 TECHNIQUE Homogenization Tissue cells Homogenate Centrifuged at 1,000 g (1,000 times the force of gravity) for 10 min Supernatant Centrifugation poured into next tube Differential centrifugation 20,000 g 20 min 80,000 g 60 min Pellet rich in nuclei and cellular debris 150,000 g 3 hr Pellet rich in mitochondria (and chloroplasts if cells are from a plant) AP Biology Pellet rich in “microsomes” (pieces of plasma membranes and cells’ internal Pellet rich in membranes) ribosomes What limits cell size? Surface to volume ratio as cell gets bigger its volume increases faster than its surface area smaller objects have greater ratio of surface area to volume AP Biology s:v 6:1 2005-2006 6:1 ~1:1 Cell characteristics All cells: surrounded by a plasma membrane have cytosol semi-fluid substance within the membrane cytoplasm = cytosol + organelles contain chromosomes which have genes in the form of DNA have ribosomes tiny “organelles” that make proteins using instructions contained in genes AP Biology Types of cells Prokaryote bacteria cells - no organelles - organelles Eukaryote animal cells AP Biology Eukaryote plant cells Types of cells Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells Prokaryotic cell DNA in nucleoid region, without a membrane separating it from rest of cell Cell wall present in all (type differs) AP Biology Eukaryotic cell chromosomes in nucleus, membraneenclosed organelle Cell walls present in fungi and plants only More complex Membrane bound organelles present The prokaryotic cell is much simpler in structure, lacking a nucleus and the other 2005-2006 AP Biology membrane-enclosed organelles of the eukaryotic cell. Why organelles? Specialized structures specialized functions mitochondria cilia or flagella for locomotion Containers partition cell into compartments create different local environments chloroplast separate pH, or concentration of materials distinct & incompatible functions lysosome & its digestive enzymes Membranes as sites for chemical reactions unique combinations of lipids & proteins embedded enzymes & reaction centers Golgi chloroplasts & mitochondria AP Biology ER Cells gotta work to live! What jobs do cells have to do? make proteins proteins control every cell function make energy for daily life for growth make more cells growth repair renewal AP Biology Building Proteins Organelles involved nucleus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi apparatus vesicles The Protein Assembly Line nucleus AP Biology ribosome ER Golgi apparatus vesicles Synthesizing proteins cisternal space polypeptide signal sequence ribosome ribosome mRNA AP Biology membrane of endoplasmic reticulum cytoplasm Nucleolus Function ribosome production build ribosome subunits from rRNA & proteins exit through nuclear pores to cytoplasm & combine to form functional ribosomes large subunit small subunit AP Biology rRNA & proteins ribosome nucleolus Types of Ribosomes Free ribosomes suspended in cytosol synthesize proteins that function in cytosol Bound ribosomes AP Biology attached to endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins for export or for membranes membrane proteins Rough ER function Finalize protein formation and prepare for export out of cell (protein folding) protein secreting cells will have lots packaged into transport vesicles to golgi AP Biology Golgi Apparatus Function finishes, sorts, tags & ships cell products like “UPS shipping department” ships products in vesicles membrane sacs “UPS trucks” AP Biology secretory vesicles transport vesicles Putting it together… nucleus nuclear pore Making proteins cell membrane protein secreted rough ER ribosome vesicle proteins smooth ER AP Biology transport vesicle cytoplasm Golgi apparatus Smooth ER function Membrane production Many metabolic processes synthesis synthesize lipids oils, phospholipids, steroids & sex hormones hydrolysis hydrolyze glycogen into glucose in liver detoxify drugs & poisons in liver ex. alcohol & barbiturates AP Biology Lysosomes Function little “stomach” of the cell digests macromolecules “clean up crew” of the cell cleans up broken down organelles Structure vesicles of digestive enzymes synthesized by rER, transferred to Golgi AP Biology only in animal cells Cellular digestion Lysosomes fuse with food vacuoles polymers digested into monomers pass to cytosol to become nutrients of cell vacuole lyso– = breaking things apart AP Biology –some = body When cells need to die… Lysosomes can be used to kill cells when they are supposed to be destroyed some cells have to die for proper development in an organism apoptosis “auto-destruct” process lysosomes break open & kill cell ex: tadpole tail gets re-absorbed when it turns into a frog ex: loss of webbing between your fingers during fetal development AP Biology Making Energy Cells must convert incoming energy to forms that they can use for work mitochondria: ATP from glucose to ATP chloroplasts: from sunlight to ATP & carbohydrates ATP = active energy carbohydrates = stored energy ATP AP Biology + Mitochondria & Chloroplasts Important to see the similarities transform energy generate ATP double membranes = 2 membranes semi-autonomous organelles move, change shape, divide AP Biology internal ribosomes, DNA & enzymes Mitochondria Function cellular respiration generate ATP from breakdown of sugars, fats & other fuels in the presence of oxygen break down larger molecules into smaller to generate energy = catabolism generate energy in presence of O2 = aerobic respiration AP Biology Mitochondria Almost all eukaryotic cells have mitochondria there may be 1 very large mitochondrion or 100s to 1000s of individual mitochondria number of mitochondria is correlated with aerobic metabolic activity more activity = more energy needed = more mitochondria What cells would have a lot of mitochondria? active cells: • muscle cells AP Biology cells • nerve Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are plant organelles class of plant structures = plastids amyloplasts store starch in roots & tubers chromoplasts store pigments for fruits & flowers chloroplasts store chlorophyll & function in photosynthesis in leaves, other green structures of plants & in eukaryotic algae AP Biology Chloroplasts Function photosynthesis generate ATP & synthesize sugars transform solar energy into chemical energy produce sugars from CO2 & H2O Semi-autonomous moving, changing shape & dividing can reproduce by pinching in two Who else divides like that? AP Biology bacteria! Mitochondria & chloroplasts are different Organelles not part of endomembrane system Grow & reproduce semi-autonomous organelles Proteins primarily from free ribosomes in cytosol & a few from their own ribosomes Own circular chromosome directs synthesis of proteins produced by own internal ribosomes ribosomes like bacterial ribosomes Who else has a circular chromosome not bound within a nucleus? AP Biology bacteria Endosymbiosis theory Mitochondria & chloroplasts were once free living bacteria engulfed by ancestral eukaryote Endosymbiont cell that lives within another cell (host) as a partnership evolutionary advantage for both one supplies energy the other supplies raw materials & protection AP Biology Lynn Margulis U of M, Amherst Endosymbiosis theory Evolution of eukaryotes AP Biology food vacuoles Food & water storage plant cells central vacuole animal cells AP Biology contractile vacuole Vacuoles & vesicles Function little “transfer ships” Food vacuoles phagocytosis, fuse with lysosomes Contractile vacuoles in freshwater protists, pump excess H2O out of cell Central vacuoles in many mature plant cells AP Biology Vacuoles in plants Functions storage stockpiling proteins or inorganic ions depositing metabolic byproducts storing pigments storing defensive compounds against herbivores selective membrane control what comes in or goes out AP Biology Putting it all together, try labeling..
