UNIT 3 - THE WORKING CELL
A.Cell Wall (198)
- ______&______the cell
- Lies outside of the ______
- Is made of ______&______
- Plant cell walls are mainly ______
- Fungi cell walls are mainly ______
I. CELL TRANSPORT
A cell is defined as the smallest ______unit of life. In order to maintain ______, ______must be moved into the cell and ______must be transported out of the cell. In addition, some cells produce ______and other materials designated for export. All materials moving in and out of the cell must pass through the ______, a ______
______boundary found in ______cells.
B.Cell Membrane in a Nutshell (187-190)
- Made mainly of ______& ______
- Hydrophobic tails of phospholipids make molecules line up as a ______with polar head facing ______and nonpolar tails facing ______.
C.Function
- Membranes are ______=Semi-permeable, picky
- Allow certain molecules to pass through; but keeps others out
- ______what enters & leaves the cell
- Helps maintain ______
D.Other components of the cell membrane
- Proteins-
- Peripheral- on the inside or outside surface. Can be partially embedded into the cell membrane or can be found attached to an integral membrane protein.
- On the outside surface, ______to inside cell; “receptor proteins”
- On inside surface, ______the cell membrane to cell’s internal support structure (cytoskeletal) giving cell its shape. “Anchor proteins”
- Transport proteins (also called integral)- ______through the membrane; used as ______to move things in or out of the cell.
- Cholesterol-only in ______cells.
- Helps prevent fatty acid tails from ______together
- Provides ______for ______cells (no cell wall)
- Carbohydrates-in chain form; on outside surface
- Used to ______; cell ID tags
- If found on top of a protein the whole structure is called a ______
- If found on top of a phospholipid the whole structure is called a ______
Label the following Cell Membrane
There are two basic mechanisms for transport of materials into and out of the cell:
A. Passive Transport (pgs. 201-205)
Does not require ______. Movement of substances from a ______concentration to
______. There are three types of passive transport:
1. Diffusion – Due to the random movement of molecules in a ______or ______. Many
substances move across the ______by diffusion, for example, ______.
2. Facilitated Diffusion – Diffusion of ______through a
______. Protein channels provide larger openings for larger molecules like
______. In addition, due to the ______fatty acid tails that make up most of the
phospholipid bilayer, ______molecules and ______utilize protein channels. This
includes ______, which utilizes specialized protein channels known as ______.
3. Osmosis – Diffusion of water from a______water concentration to a ______water concentration
through a ______membrane. There are comparative terms used to describe the
water versus solute concentration on either side of a membrane:
- Hypertonic = ______solute; ______water
- Hypotonic = ______solute; ______water
- Water always moves from ______→ ______
- Isotonic = Relative concentrations of ______and ______are ______
- There will be ______net movement of water if two solutions are isotonic
Cells must have a mechanism for counteracting the pressure osmosis can create, otherwise a cell could swell &
burst or explode when it is placed in a ______environment.
- Cell Wall - Rigid boundary found in ______, ______, and ______cells
- Contractile Vacuole - Actively ______water out of cell in single-celled organisms without ______
- Blood/Extracellular Fluid – Designed to be ______with cells
B. Active Transport – Requires energy in the form of ______(pgs. 205-207)
1. Protein Pumps – Energy-requiring process during which membrane proteins pump molecules across amembrane
against a concentrationgradient from a ______concentration to a ______concentration. An example
is the sodium-potassium pump.Its purpose is to establish an ______gradient in cells by
pumping ______sodium ions (______) into the cell for every ______potassium ions (_____) pumped out of the
cell. This slight ____ charge inside the cell relative to the outside is very important for ______
______and ______.
2. Endocytosis – “______”. Larger substances are moved into the cell from the exterior by
extending ______, forming a ______around thesubstance. Examples include
macrophages, amoeba, etc.
3. Exocytosis – “______”. Export of molecules from the inside of the cell to the exterior of the cell
by a ______fusingwiththe cellmembrane. Mechanism used to release ______from cells
