Plasma membrane Cell wall Cytoplasm Organelles Nucleus a) A eukaryotic animal cell has a large nucleus and numerous small organelles. The cytoplasm is enclosed by a flexible plasma membrane. b) Prokaryotic cells such as this bacterium have a rigid cell wall surrounding the plasma membrane. The genetic material is not surrounded by a membrane, and there are no organelles in the cell. The elongated bacterium in the center of the photo is about to divide in two, as its genetic material is concentrated at both ends of the cell. Figure 3.1
Cell structure reflects eukaryotic cell s function a) A portion of several muscle cells of the heart (X 1,500). b) Nerve cells of the central nervous system (X 830). c) Cells lining a tubule of a kidney (X 250). How are these cells similar? What makes these cells different? Figure 3.2

Why are cells so small? Efficiency in: Acquisition of nutrients Disposal of wastes What makes this possible? High surface areas to volume ratio
The cells of an ant and an elephant are, on average, the same small size; an elephant just has more of them. What is the advantage of small cell size? a) small cells are less likely to burst than large cell; b) small cells are less likely to be infected by bacteria; c) small cells can better take up what they need from their environment; d) it takes less energy to make an organism out of small cells; e) small cells can "morph" more easily than larger cells.

Membrane Transport Simple Diffusion [High] [Low] Down its [gradient] Passive no energy
Membrane Transport Facilitated diffusion Carrier protein Passive no energy Ions, water
Membrane Transport Table 4.2
3 types of passive transport Higher concentration Lower concentration Diffusion through the lipid layer. Lipid-soluble molecules such as O 2 and CO 2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane. Diffusion through channels. Some polar and charged molecules diffuse through protein channels that span the membrane. Water is a typical example. Facilitated transport. Certain molecules bind to a protein, triggering a change in protein shape that transports the molecule across the membrane. Glucose typically enters cells by this method.
Sodium ions (Na + ) diffuse across the cell membrane, but they need assistance. This would be an example of: a) simple diffusion b) facilitated diffusion; c) active transport; d)osmosis; e) huh?

You're rushed to the ER and given an IV (intravenous) saline (salt) solution to rehydrate you. The nurse was not sleeping during biology this time and happened to give you an isotonic IV solution.

Comparison of endocytosis & exocytosis Extracellular environment Plasma membrane Cytoplasm Vesicle a) Endocytosis. In endocytosis, material is surrounded by the cell membrane and brought into the cell. b) Exocytosis. In exocytosis, a membranous vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane, expelling its contents outside the cell. c) Photomicrograph showing various stages of endocytosis.
