Plasma membrane 质膜

A semipermeable outer boundary of both prokaryotic and

eukaryotic cells. This outer membrane, about 4–5nm

thick, is a continuous sheet of a double layer (bilayer) of

long-chain molecules called phospholipids.

A phospholipid molecule has a long tail of alkyl 烷基chain, which is hydrophobic (repels water), and a

hydrophilic head (likes water) which carries a charge (and

is thus ionic).

Phospholipid molecules

spontaneously orient (or

self-organize) to form a

bilayer in which the

hydrophobic tails are

pointed inwards (shying

away from the outer

aqueous environment).

The hydrophilic, ionic

head groups are in the

exterior and are thus in

contact with the

surrounding aqueous

environment.

Cytoplasm 细胞质

Cytoplasm represents everything enclosed by the plasma

membrane, with the exclusion of the nucleus.

It is present in all cells where metabolic reactions occur.

Consists mainly of a viscous 粘性 fluid medium that

includes salts, sugars, lipids, vitamins, nucleotides, amino

acids, RNA, and proteins which contain the protein

filaments, actin microfilaments, microtubules, and

intermediate filaments.

Many of the functions for cell growth, metabolism, and

replication are carried out within the cytoplasm.

Cell skeleton 细胞骨架

Network of fibers composed of proteins

Three kinds:― Microtubule (25nm)

― Intermediate filaments (10nm)

― Actin filaments (8nm)

Cell skeleton 细胞骨架

Main functions:― Establish the cell shape

― Provide mechanical strength to the cell

― Perform muscle contraction

― Control changes in cell shape and thus produce locomotion

― Provide chromosome separation in mitosis （有丝分裂） and

meiosis （减数分裂）― Facilitate intracellular transport of organelles

Nucleus 细胞核

The nucleus is often called the control center

of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell,

usually spherical with a diameter of 4–10 μm,

and is separated from the cytoplasm by an

envelope consisting of an inner and an outer

membrane. All eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.

The nucleus contains DNA distributed among

structures called chromosomes 染色体 , which

determine the genetic makeup of the

organism. The chromosomal DNA is packaged

into chromatin fibers by association with an

equal mass of histone proteins 组蛋白 .

The nucleus contains openings (100nm across)

in its envelope called nuclear pores, which

allow the nuclear contents to communicate

with the cytosol. Ribosome 核糖体

Nucleus 细胞核

The inside of the nucleus also contains another

organelle called a nucleolus 核仁 , which is a

crescent-shaped 月牙形 structure that

produces ribosomes by forming RNA and

packaging it with ribosomal protein. The

nucleus is the site of replication of DNA and

transcription into RNA. In a eukaryotic cell,

the nucleus and the ribosomes work together

to synthesize proteins.

Ribosome 核糖体

Mitochondria 线粒体

Cell “power plant”

Shape: fat sausage, 0.5-1.5um wide and 3-10um long.

20% of the cytoplasmic volume

NADH + H+ + 3 ADP + 3 Pi + 1/2 O2 NAD+ + 4 H2O + 3 ATP

FADH2 + 3 ADP + 3 Pi + 1/2 O2 FAD + 4 H2O + 3 ATP

Endoplasmic reticulum(ER) 内质网

ER consists of flattened sheets,

sacs, and tubes of membranes

that extend throughout the

cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and

enclose a large intracellular

space called lumen. There is a

continuum of the lumen between

membranes of the nuclear

envelope. The rough endoplastic

reticulum (rough ER) is close to

the nucleus, and is the site of

attachment of the ribosomes.

Endoplasmic reticulum(ER) 内质网

Ribosomes 核糖体 are small and dense structures, 20nm in diameter,

that are present in great numbers in the cell, mostly attached to the

surface of rough ER, but can float free in the cytoplasm. They are

manufactured in the nucleolus of the nucleus on a DNA template and

are then transported to the cytoplasm. They consist of two subunits of

RNA (a large, 50S, and a small, 30S) that are complexed with a set of

proteins.

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. The process of protein

synthesis uses a messenger RNA template.

The rough ER transitions into a smooth endoplastic reticulum

(smooth ER), which is generally more tubular and lacks attached

ribosomes.

The smooth ER is the primary site of synthesis of lipids and sugars

and contains degradative enzymes, which detoxify many organic

molecules.

Question: What kind of blood cell has to be diagnosed for

HIV infection?

http://www.thebody.com/content/art2494.html

HIV and T-cell (CD4)

Early in the course of the disease, the body can make more

CD4 cells to replace the ones that have been damaged by

HIV. Eventually, the body can't keep up and the number of

functioning T-cells decreases. As more and more CD4 cells

become damaged, the immune system becomes more and

more weakened. Eventually, the weakened immune system

leaves the body at risk for illness and infection.

Classification of epithelia

According to thickness“simple” - one cell layer“stratified” – more than one layer of cells

(which are named according to the shape of the cells in the apical layer)

According to shape“squamous” – wider than tall“cuboidal” – as tall as wide“columnar” - taller than wide

to protect

where diffusion is important

where tissues are involved in secretion and absorption: larger cells because of the machinery of production, packaging, and energy requirements

Summary

All living creatures are made up of cells.

Biological systems are classified as viruses (non-self-

replicating), prokaryotes (no well-defined nucleus), and

eukaryotes (well-organized cell and nucleus).

Living systems are aggregates of water, amino acids,

carbohydrates, fatty acids, ions, and other

macromolecules called biopolymers (e.g., DNA, RNA, and

proteins).

Cells undergo differentiation to form different types of

cells and as-semble to form tissues, which organize to

form organs with different functions. Various organs

integrate to form an organism.

Summary

A plasma membrane consists of a structure lipid bilayer that forms a

semipermeable boundary around the cell. The membrane controls the

transport of food, water, ions, and signals.

The interior contents of a cell, enclosed by the membrane, consists of

various organelles (compartments) such as the cytoplasm,

cytoskeleton, nucleus, mitochondria, endosplasmic reticulum (ER),

Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Plant cells have an

additional organelle, called the chloroplast .

Cytoplasm consists of the entire contents of a cell (except the nucleus)

enclosed by a membrane. Cytoplasm forms the center of activities

such as cell growth, metabolism, and replication

Summary

Important cellular processes are: (i) cell replication to

produce DNA and, subsequently, new cells; (ii) cell

biosynthesis by a process of transcription to produce RNA

and a process of translation to synthesize protein; (iii) cell

energy production in a usable form; (iv) cell signaling to

initiate processes in adjacent and distant cells; (v) cell

death by programmed cell death and death due to injury;

and (vi) cell transformation that produces a tumor.

The constituents of a tissue are: (i) various cells; (ii) cell-adhesion

molecules which bind cells to one another; (iii) extracellular matrix

filling the space between cells; and (iv) the cell junctions.

The extracellular matrix helps to bind the cell, acts as a reservoir for

hormones controlling cell growth and differentiation, and provides a

lattice through which cells can move.

Cell junctions stabilize cell–cell infrastructure and facilitate

communication between neighboring cells.

Tumors consist of cells with structural changes produced by

transformation that show aberration in the normal behavior.

Cancer is a special type of tumor that exhibits much more rapid

multiplication (proliferation) of cells compared to normal cells.
