An Introduction to Cells
Cell Theory
Developed from Robert Hooke’s research (17th century)
Cells are the building blocks of all plants and animals
All cells come from the division of preexisting cells
Cells are the smallest units that perform all vital
physiological functions
Each cell maintains homeostasis at the cellular level
Sex Cells (Germ Cells)
Reproductive cells: Male (sperm); Female (oocyte)
Somatic Cells (Soma—body)

Processing
3-4 Protein Synthesis
The Transcription of mRNA
Step 1: Gene activation (DNA strands separate and RNA polymerase
binds to the promoter of the gene).
Step 2: DNA to mRNA (RNA polymerase moves from one nucleotide to
another along length of the template strand. At each site,
complementary RNA nucleotides for hydrogen bonds with the DNA
nucleotides of the template stand. RNA polymerase strings the
arriving nucleotides together into a strand of mRNA).
Step 3: RNA processing (On reaching the stop signal at the end of the
gene, the RNA polymerase and the mRNA strand detach, and the two
DNA strands reassociate).

the cytoplasm surrounded by amino acids → binds to ribosomal
subunits → tRNA delivers amino acids to mRNA.

3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Membrane Transport
The plasma (cell) membrane is a barrier, but nutrients must get in and products and
wastes must get out
Permeability determines what moves in and out of a cell
A cell that lets nothing in or out is impermeable
A cell that lets anything pass is freely permeable
The cell restricts movement is selectively permeable
Selective permeability membrane restricts materials based on:
Size
Electrical charge
Molecular shape
Lipid solubility
Transport through a plasma membrane can be:
Active (requiring energy and ATP) or Passive (no energy required)
Diffusion (passive)
Carrier-mediated transport (passive or active)
Vesicular transport (active)
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Diffusion
All molecules are constantly in motion
Molecules in solution move randomly
Random motion causes mixing
Concentration is the amount of solute in a solvent
Concentration gradient is
More solute in one part of a solvent than another
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Factors Influencing Diffusion
Distance the particle has to move
Molecule Size
Smaller is faster
Temperature
More heat, faster motion
Concentration Gradient
The difference between high and low concentrations
Electrical Forces
Opposites attract, like charges repel

3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Diffusion across Plasma Membranes

3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Osmosis: A Special Case of Diffusion
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane
More solute molecules, lower concentration of water molecules
Membrane must be freely permeable to water, selectively permeable
to solutes
Water molecules diffuse across membrane toward solution with more
solutes
Volume increases on the side with more solutes
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
3-5 Diffusion and Osmosis
Osmolarity and Tonicity
The osmotic effect of a solute on a cell
Two fluids may have equal osmolarity (solute concentration), but
different tonicity (how the solution affects a cell).
Isotonic (iso- = same, tonos = tension)
A solution that does not cause osmotic flow of water in or out of a cell
Hypotonic (hypo- = below)
Has less solutes and loses water through osmosis
A cell in a hypotonic solution gains water (ruptures—hemolysis)
Hypertonic (hyper- = above)
Has more solutes and gains water by osmosis
A cell in a hypertonic solution loses water (shrinks—crenation)

a plasma membrane and expressed in millivolts, that results from
the uneven distribution of positive and negative ions across the
plasma membrane.
Resting potential ranges from –10 mV to -100 mV, depending on
cell type

3-8 Cell Life Cycle

Most of a cell’s life is spent in a nondividing state (interphase)
Body (somatic) cells divide in three stages

daughter cells

Figure 3-24 Stages of a Cell’s Life Cycle: Interphase
INTERPHASE
Most cells spend only a small part of their
time actively engaged in cell division.
Somatic cells spend the majority of their
functional lives in a state known as
interphase. During interphase, a cell
perfoms all its normal functions and, if
necessary, prepares for cell division.
When the activities of G1 have been completed,
the cell enters the S phase. Over the next 68
hours, the cell duplicates its chromosomes.
S
This involves DNA replication and
the synthesis of histones and other
proteins in the nucleus.
G1
A cell that is ready to
divide first enters the G1
phase. In this phase, the cell
makes enough mitochondria,
cytoskeletal elements, endoplasmic reticula, ribosomes,
Golgi membranes, and
cytosol for two functional
cells. Centriole replication begins in G1 and
commonly continues

An interphase cell in the G0 phase is

which divide repeatedly with very brief interphase periods,
never enter G0.

1 Initially the cancer cells are restricted to the primary tumor.
2 Cancer cells gradually lose their resemblance to normal cells.
3 Metastasis begins with invasion as tumor cells “breakout” of the primary tumor and
invade the surrounding tissue.
4Cancer cells in the bloodstream escape out of blood vesses to establish secondary
tumors at other sites.
5 As malignant tumors grow, organ function begins to deteriorate.

3-11 Differentiation
Differentiation
All cells carry complete DNA instructions for all body functions
Cells specialize or differentiate
To form tissues (liver cells, fat cells, and neurons)
By turning off all genes not needed by that cell
All body cells, except sex cells, contain the same 46 chromosomes
Differentiation depends on which genes are active and which are inactive
