What, Exactly, Is a Cell? • Basic building blocks of all living things • Functions:
– Metabolism and Energy Use – Synthesis of molecules – Communication – Reproduction and Inheritance

The Fundamental Theory of Biology 1. All organisms consist of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the smallest unit of life. 3. Each new cell arises from another cell. 4. A cell passes hereditary information to its offspring.

Maintaining Homeostasis Maintenance of relatively constant internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment
“For metabolism to work, a cell must keep its internal
composition stable – even when conditions outside are
greatly different.”

Diffusion • Net movement of molecules or ions from a region of higher concentration
to a region of lower concentration within a solvent • At equilibrium: uniform distribution of molecules • Terminologies:
– Solution • Any mixture of liquids, gases, or solids in which the substances are uniformly
distributed with no clear boundary between the substances
– Solute • Dissolves in a solvent to form a solution
– Solvent • Predominant liquid or gas

Na+–K+ pump Three sodium ions (Na+) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bind to the sodium–potassium (Na+–K+) pump.
Na+–K+ pump changes shape (requires energy).
The ATP breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a phosphate (P) and releases energy. That energy is used to power the shape change in the Na+–K+ pump.
The Na+–K+ pump changes shape, and the Na+ are transported across the membrane and into the extracellular fluid.
Two potassium ions (K+) bind to the Na+–K+ pump.
The phosphate is released from the Na+–K+ pump binding site.

K+
A Na+–K+ pump maintains a concentration of Na+ that is higher outside the cell than inside.
Na+ move back into the cell by a carrier molecule that also moves glucose. The concentration gradient for Na+ provides the energy required to move glucose, by cotransport, against its concentration gradient.

Ribosomal proteins, produced in the cytoplasm, are transported through nuclear pores into the nucleolus.
The small and large ribosomal subunits leave the nucleolus and the nucleus through nuclear pores.
rRNA, most of which is produced in the nucleolus, is assembled with ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosomal subunits.
The small and large subunits, now in the cytoplasm, combine with each other and with mRNA during protein synthesis.

![Page 72: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Cytoskeleton • Framework of cell • Dynamic network of protein filaments • Interacts with accessory proteins (motor proteins)
• Functions
– Support – Holds organelles in place (organize) – Enable cell to change shape
![Page 73: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Cytoskeletal Elements • Microtubules
– Hollow filaments of tubulin subunits – Dynamic scaffolding; structural support
• Microfilaments – Reinforcing cytoskeletal elements; movement – Fibers of actin subunits – Strengthen/change shape of cell
• Intermediate Elements – Lock cells and tissues together – Most stable; maintain shape

Cilia • Short, hair-like structures • Project from the plasma
membrane of some cells • Propels materials across
cell’s surface • Moved by organized arrays of
microtubules • Example: clears pathways
from airways

CELL DIVISION
![Page 81: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Cell Division
• Formation of 2 daughter cells from a single parent cell
• Each cell (except sperm and egg) contains 46 chromosomes
• Egg and sperm contain 23 chromosomes
![Page 82: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

• Thread-like structures inside the nucleus of animals and plants
• Each is made up of: – Protein – Single molecule of DNA
• “chroma” (color) and “soma” (body)
– Cell structures strongly stained by colorful dyes
What is a Chromosome?
![Page 84: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
• Unique structure: – DNA tightly wrapped around histones
• “For an organism to grow and function properly,
cells must constantly divide to produce new cells to replace old, worn-out cells.”
• Ensures DNA is accurately copied and
distributed
What do Chromosomes do?
![Page 85: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Mitosis • Cell division that occurs in all cells except sex cells • Forms 2 daughter cells • Components
–Chromatids: 2 strands of chromosomes genetically identical
–Centromere: where 2 chromatids are connected –Centrioles: small organelle composed of 9 triplets
![Page 86: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
What are Centromeres? • Constricted region of linear
chromosomes
• Center or at the end of the chromosome
• Help chromosomes aligned properly during cell division
• Attachment site for sister chromatids
![Page 87: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)

• Repetitive stretches of DNA • Protect the ends of linear chromosomes
• Lose a bit of their DNA every time a cell divides
– When telomere is gone Æ cell cannot replicate – WBCs have special enzyme
• Role in cancer
– Do not lose telomeres but help to fuel the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells
What are Telomeres?
![Page 89: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
How many chromosomes do humans have?
![Page 90: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Do males have different chromosomes than females?
![Page 91: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Human Chromosome
![Page 92: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Mitosis • Nuclear division that maintains the chromosome number
• Basis of:
– Body growth – Tissue repair and replacement
• Cell cycle starts when new cell forms, & ends when the cell reproduces
![Page 93: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Cell Cycle
• Series of events from the time a cell forms until its cytoplasm divides
• Three Phases – Interphase – Mitosis – Cytoplasmic Division
![Page 94: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Interphase • Most of cell’s activities occur • DNA replication • G1
– 1st interval (gap) of growth before DNA replication
• S – Interval of synthesis (DNA
replication)
• G2 – 2nd interval; cell prepares to divide – Make proteins for mitosis
![Page 95: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Stages in Mitosis: Prophase
• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes • Centrioles move to opposite ends
The chromosomes become visible as distinct structures as they condense further. Microtubules assemble and move one of the two centrosomes to the opposite side of the nucleus, and the nuclear envelope breaks up.
![Page 96: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Stages in Mitosis: Metaphase • Chromosomes align
Fig. 8-5b (4), p. 141
4 Metaphase
All of the chromosomes are aligned midway between the spindle poles. Microtubules attach each chromatid to one of the spindle poles, and its sister to the opposite pole.
![Page 97: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Stages in Mitosis: Anaphase
• Chromatids separate to form 2 sets of chromosomes • Chromosomes move toward the centrioles
Motor proteins moving along spindle microtubules drag the chromatids toward the spindle poles, and the sister chromatids separate. Each sister chromatid is now a separate chromosome.
![Page 98: 3 The Cell](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062320/563db91c550346aa9a9a24fa/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Stages in Mitosis: Telophase
• Chromosomes disperse • Nuclear envelopes and nucleoli form • Cytoplasm divides to form 2 cells
The chromosomes reach the spindle poles and decondense. A nuclear envelope forms around each cluster. Mitosis is over.
