Organs are specialized structures in the body that perform specific life processes
Organelles are specialized structures inside the cell that perform specific cellular processes
Most organelles are surrounded by a membrane

Cell Fractionation
A method of separating cell parts to study their function
Homogenization: disruption of cell membrane without damaging organelle
Centrifuge: instrument that spins at high speeds to separate contents by density

1. Homogenize2. Centrifuge
Pellet: larger, more dense components Supernatant: lighter, suspended in
liquid above the pellet3. Decant supernatant 4. Repeat centrifugation at higher
speeds to separate into smaller components

Plasma Membrane Structure
Cell membrane made of phospholipid
Phospholipids also form the membrane around organelles
![Page 11: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Phospholipid Bilayer
Bilayer = 2 layersEach layer is called a leaflet and
composed of phospholipids
![Page 12: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Phospholipid Bilayer

Water is on the intracellular and extracellular side
Hydrophobic tails face inwards forming a hydrophobic core
Hydrophilic heads face outwards
![Page 13: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fluid Mosaic Model
Model developed by Singer and Nicolson (1972) to understand membrane structure
Fluid implies movement on membrane
Mosaic implies that the membrane consists of many different molecules
![Page 14: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Membrane Fluidity
Membrane fluidity is affected by:
Saturation of fatty acid Double bonds bends fatty acid
chains preventing phospholipids from tight packing
Hydrophobic restrictions Lateral movement: across
same leaflet Flip-flop movement is rare
Cholesterol and temperature
![Page 15: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

attractionNonpolar

Carbohydrates
Glycoprotein = carbohydrate + protein
Glycolipid = carbohydate + lipid (phospholipid)
Extracellular sideFunction of cell surface
carbohydrates: identifies the cell (like a name) helping
other cells recognize it acts as a signal for communication
![Page 23: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Asymmetry
Each leaflet has a different composition
Leaflet facing the intracellular side has different components compared to the extracellular side
Restrictions in the flip-flop motion help to maintain this asymmetry
![Page 24: Organelles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55847f93d8b42a15768b52de/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Contains ribosomes bound to its
membrane surface Produces integral and secretory proteins:
Integral proteins are embedded in the ER membrane and will end up on the plasma membrane
Secretory proteins are housed in the cisternal space of the ER and will be secreted by exocytosis
Both protein types will be delivered to the cell surface via transport vesicles
Note: Free ribosomes produce cytosolic proteins

Cytoskeleton Cellular Function Summary
Microfilament: mechanical support to maintain cell shape
Intermediate filament: anchorage for organelles and cytosolic enzymes
Microtubule: path for organelle, vesicles & chromosomes to travel; originate from centrosome

A region near the nucleus where microtubules grow out from
Involved in organizing spindle fibers during cell division
In animal cells, a pair of centrioles exist within this region
