Cell Size
Question:Are the cells in an elephant bigger, smaller, or about the same size as those in a mouse?
copyright cmassengale
Factors Affecting Cell Size
• Surface area (plasma membrane surface) is determined by multiplying length times width (L x W)
• Volume of a cell is determined by multiplying length times width times height (L x W x H)
• Therefore, Volume increases FASTER than the surface area
Factors Affecting Cell Size
• DNA Overload = Not enough DNA to direct the whole cell
Factors Affecting Cell Size
• Movement of materials into and out of the cell

Cell Transport
Plasma Membrane
• Selectively permeable barrier
– Allows nutrients in
– Waste can go out
Passive Transport
Uses NO Energy
Types of Passive Transport(No ATP)
• Diffusion: – Kinetic Energy – Down or with
Concentration Gradient– Molecules must be small
or fat soluble to get across membrane
– Can be either direction– Heat Increases Speed
• Examples: fats, fat soluble vitamins, O2, CO2 or small ions like chloride (Cl-)
55
DIFFUSIONDIFFUSION
Diffusion is a PASSIVEPASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural KINETIC ENERGY

Types of Passive Transport
• Osmosis
– The diffusion of water– Polar, but can move through aquaporins made by
proteins in the membrane– Moves down or with concentration gradient– Can be either direction
• Example: Only Water

Types of Passive Transport
• Filtration:
– Uses pressure gradient (fluid or hydrostatic)– Filtrate goes from high to low pressure through a
membrane or capillary
• Example: water and solutes filter through kidneys
Active TransportRequires ATP
Active Transport (ATP)
• Solute Pump– ATP energizes protein carriers embedded in
membrane– Against the concentration or electrical gradient– Large or not lipid soluble molecules
• Examples: Amino Acids – Large MoleculeSodium-Potassium Pump - ATP is needed to pump sodium out of cell where there is more sodium and potassium that leaks out of the cell has to be pumped back inside.
Active Transport uses ATP for Bulk Transport
• Exocytosis:– Out of the cell– Transport vesicle (packaged by Golgi)– Migrates to membrane– Fuses and then empties outside cell
• Examples: Secreting hormones, mucus, cellular waste

ExocytosisExocytosis-

This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells communicate with one anothercommunicate with one another.
Active Transport uses ATP for Bulk Transport
• Endocytosis– Into the cell– Engulfing extra-cellular substances– Forms a sac around the substance – Pulls it in and the sac buds off– Fuses with a lysosome– Enzymes digest the contents
Types of Endocytosis
• Phagocytosis: Cellular eating. Ex: White blood cells get rid of bacteria. Protective
• Pinocytosis: Absorption function, droplets are surrounded and taken in. Ex: dissolved protein or fat
• Receptor-mediated:Taking up target molecules, proteins bind only with certain molecules. Ex: hormones, cholesterol, iron and sometimes viruses get in this way

The diagram below shows a cross section of part of a cell membrane.
a. Describe the basic structure of the cell membrane.
b. Describe two primary functions of the cell membrane.
c. Explain how the structure of the cell membrane allows it to perform the functions described in part (b).
A. Describe the basic structure of the cell membrane.
• A.) The cell membrane is made up of 2 layers of phospholipids. The hydrophyllic heads point outward, while the hydrophobic tails point inward. This is because the cytoplasm inside the cell and the fluid outside the cell contain water. Proteins can also be found in the membrane and their function is to facilitate diffusion, to act a s a pump, or as identifying markers.
B. Describe two primary functions of the cell membrane.
• B) The primary functions of the cell membrane are, first, to maintain a boundary that keeps the organelles and cytoplasm inside and the other particles outside. Second, the membrane is selectively permeable allowing nutrients in and waste products out as well as protecting the cell.
C. Explain how the structure of the cell membrane allows it to perform the
functions described in part (B).• C.) The structure of the cell membrane allows
it to perform its functions. The lipid bilayer forms a strong flexible barrier between the cell and its surroundings which repels water and large molecules. The protein molecules embedded in the bilayer act as channels or pumps to allow certain molecules in or out of the cell. In addition, some of the proteins have carbohydrate chains attached that act as identification markers.
