Cellular Transport And the Cell Cycle

Diffusion ® At all temperatures above absolute zero, the individual atoms that constitute any substance are always in movement. Indeed, the amount of this movement is what constitutes temperature itself. ® Simply put, diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to an area of lower concentration

Diffusion Cont. ® Particles of a substance will move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. ® The difference in concentration of atoms is know as a concentration gradient ® As particles move in a given area, an equilibrium is reached where the space between the particles becomes fairly uniform. ® This equal distribution of atoms is called dynamic equilibrium

Plasma Membrane ® Made up of two layers of phospholipids ® Controls what moves into and out of the cell ® Selectively permeable

Passive Transport ® Transport (diffusion) of particles across the membrane without the use of energy by the cell ® Particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across the concentration gradient

Passive transport by proteins Facilitated Diffusion - Transport of materials across the plasma membrane with the aid of channel proteins ® Common method for moving sugars and amino acids across membranes ® Driven by a concentration gradient (substances on both sides of the membrane are trying to reach equal concentration)

Passive Transport ® Video

What is Osmosis? ® Osmosis – Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane ® The plasma membrane does not limit the diffusion of water ® In a cell, water always tries to reach an equal concentration on both sides of the membrane ® Regulation of water flow through the membrane is important in maintaining homeostasis

What Controls Osmosis? ® Concentration gradient - Unequal distribution of particles

Cells in an Isotonic Solution ® Isotonic Solution – when the concentration of dissolved substances in the solution is the same as the concentration of dissolved substances inside of the cell ® Equal movement of water into and out of the cell, cell stays the same size

Cells in a hypotonic solution ® Hypotonic solution – when the concentration of dissolved substances is lower in the solution outside the cell than the concentration inside the cell ® Water is pulled into the cell, the cell swells and the internal pressure increases

Cells in a hypertonic solution ® Hypertonic Solution – where the concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell. ® Water moves out of the cell, the cell shrinks, and internal pressure decreases

Water moves into a cell placed in a __________ solution. A. Osmotic B. Hypertonic C. Isotonic D. Hypotonic

Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in a ________ solution A. Hypotonic B. Hypertonic C. Isotonic D. Passive

If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by _______. A. Osmosis B. Diffusion C. Active transport D. Phagocytosis

After viewing the recipe above, explain the role of osmosis in making pickles. Be ready to share your

Active Transport ® Cells can move particles from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration, but it takes ! ® Active Transport – movement of materials through a membrane against the concentration gradient

Active Transport Cont. ® Proteins in the cell membrane (Carrier proteins) bind with particles of the substance. When the right molecule binds to the right carrier protein, chemical energy allows the carrier protein to change shape so that the particle can be moved to the other side of the membrane

Transport of Large Particles ® Some cells can take in large molecules, groups of molecules, or even whole cells ® Endocytosis – process by which a cell engulfs a material and forms a vacuole inside of the cell ® Exocytosis – expulsion or secretion of materials from the cell ® Used to get rid of waste, secrete hormones ® Both endocytosis and exocytosis require cellular energy (Active transport)

Endocytosis and Exotytosis ® Use the play dough to model the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis. Be able to explain the process. When you have finished, wait for Mrs. Johnson to come and check your work and hear your explanation.

Cell Growth

Cells come in different sizes Red blood Cells = 8 µm ® Some nerve cells can be up to 1 mm in length ® The yolk of an Ostrich egg measures 8 cm ® Most living cells are between 2 and 200 µm ® Given the wide range of cell sizes, why can’t most organisms be just one giant cell? ®

What limits cell size? ® Diffusion is fast and efficient over short distances but slow and inefficient over larger distances ®a mitochondrion at the center of a hypothetical cell with a diameter of 20 cm would have to wait months before receiving molecules entering the cell

What limits cell size? cont. ® DNA ® The nucleus contains blueprints for the cell’s proteins (proteins are used throughout the cell by the organelles) ® There is a limit as to how quickly the DNA (blueprints) can be copied ® The cell can’t survive unless there is enough DNA to support the protein needs of the cell ® Some large single celled organisms have developed more than 1 nucleus

What limits cell size? Cont. ® Surface ® As area to volume ratio cell size increases, its volume increases faster than its surface area ® If cell size doubles, the cell would require eight times more nutrients and would have eight times more waste to excrete. The surface area would increase only by a factor of four. The plasma membrane would not have enough surface area for nutrients, waste and oxygen to diffuse through

Surface area to volume ratio 1 mm 1 m m 2 mm Surface area = 6 mm 2 Volume = 1 mm 3 4 mm 2 mm Surface area = 24 mm 2 Volume = 8 mm 3 Refer to PS lab 8. 1 pg 209 4 mm Surface area = ? ? Volume = ? ?

Cell Reproduction

Cell Reproduction (video clip) ® The cell theory states: all cells come from preexisting cells ® We know that all organisms grow and change ® Throughout our lives, worn-out tissues are repaired or replace by new cells ® All of this occurs through Cell Division The process by which new cells are produced from one cell ® Results in two cells that are identical to the parent cell ®

What are Chromosomes? ® Chromosomes – dark staining structures that contain genetic material (DNA) ® Made up of DNA and protein ® Chromatin – long strands of DNA wrapped around protein (resembles a tangled plate of spaghetti) ® Before a cell can divide, the long strands of chromatin must be organized into a chromosome http: //www. sirinet. net/~jgjohnso/modchrom

The Cell Cycle ® The sequence of growth and division of a cell ® 2 phases: ® Growth ® Division

The Growth Phase: Interphase ® The majority of a cell’s life is spent growing and making more DNA, this period is called – Interphase ® During interphase, cell grows in size and the chromosomes are duplicated G 1 phase - rapid growth ® S phase – DNA synthesis and replication ® G 2 phase – Centrioles replicate and cell prepares for division ®

The Division Phase: Mitosis ® Cells undergo mitosis as they approach the maximum cell size at which the nucleus can provide blue-prints for proteins and the plasma membrane can efficiently transport nutrients and waste into and out of the cell ® 4 phases of Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase

The Cell Cycle http: //lhs. lps. org/staff/sputnam/Biology/U 3 Cell/cellcycle_

Mitosis: Prophase ® 1 st stage of mitosis (longest stage) ® Chromatin coils up into visible chromosomes ® Each duplicated chromosome is made of 2 sister chromatids held together by a centromere ® The nucleus begins to disappear ® Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of cell ® Spindle fibers become visible

Mitosis: Metaphase ® 2 nd stage of mitosis (short stage) ® Chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers by their centromeres ® Chromosomes line up on the midline

Mitosis: Anaphase ® 3 rd stage of mitosis ® Sister chromatids are pulled apart ® the spindle fibers attached to the centromere and the centriole begin to shorten pulling the chromatids from each other

Mitosis: Telophase 4 th stage of mitosis ® Chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell ® Chromosomes unwind, spindle begins to break down, nucleolus reappears and nuclear envelop forms around each set of new chromosomes ®

Results of Mitosis

So what’s the point? ® Mitosis guarantees that the two new cells that are produced are genetically identical. The two new daughter cells will carry out the same cellular processes and functions as those of the parent cell and will grow and divide just as the parent cell did.

Control of the Cell Cycle ® The full story of how the cell cycle is controlled is not fully understood ® Scientist do agree on some aspects of what causes cells to divide Enzymes

Enzymes Control the Cell Cycle ® Different enzymes control different parts of the cell cycle Interphase growth (G 1 phase) synthesis (S phase) getting ready (G 2 phase) mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)

Sometimes cells lose control of the cell cycle ® Can result from: ® Not enough enzyme ® Too much enzyme ® Production of enzymes at the wrong time Enzyme production is controlled by genes
