BIG IDEA II Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks

to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Enduring Understanding 2.B

Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis

require that cells create and maintain internal environments

that are different from their external environments.

Essential Knowledge 2.B.1

Cell membranes are selectively permeable due to their structure.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Essential Knowledge 2.B.1: Cell membranes are selectively permeable due to their structure.

• Learning Objectives:

– (2.10) The student is able to use representations and

models to pose scientific questions about the

properties of cell membranes and selective

permeability based on molecular structure.

– (2.11) The student is able to construct models that

connect the movement of molecules across

membranes with membrane structure and function.

Cell membranes separate the internal environment of the cell from the external environment.

• The cell or plasma membrane is selectively permeable; that is, it allows

some substances to cross it more easily than others.

• The structure of the cell membrane results in its selectively permeable

properties.

Selective permeability is a direct consequence of membrane structure, as described by the fluid mosaic model.

Types of Transport Proteins

• Transport proteins allow passage of hydrophilic

substances across the membrane:

1. Some transport proteins, called channel proteins, have a

hydrophilic channel that certain molecules or ions can use

as a tunnel.

2. Channel proteins called aquaporins facilitate the passage of

water.

3. Other transport proteins, called carrier proteins, bind to

molecules and change shape to shuttle them across the

membrane.

• A transport protein is specific for the substance it moves –

i.e. FORM FITS FUNCTION!!!

Cell walls provide a structural boundary, as well as a permeability barrier for some substances to the internal environment.

• The cell wall is the tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly

rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. Cell walls provide

a structural boundary, as well as a permeability barrier for some

substances to the internal environments.

– It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells

with structural support and protection, in addition to acting as a

filtering mechanism.

– A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel,

preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell.

– Cell walls are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some

archaea. Animals and protozoa do not have cell walls.

– The material in the cell wall varies between species, and can also

differ depending on cell type and developmental stage.

BIG IDEA II Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks

to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Enduring Understanding 2.B Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis require that cells create and

maintain internal environments that are different from their external environments.

Essential Knowledge 2.B.2 Growth and dynamic homeostasis are maintained by the

constant movement of molecules across membranes.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Essential Knowledge 2.B.2: Growth and dynamic homeostasis

are maintained by the constant movement of molecules across membranes.

• Learning Objectives:

– (2.12) The student is able to use representations and

models to analyze situations or solve problems

qualitatively and quantitatively to investigate

whether dynamic homeostasis is maintained by the

active movement of molecules across membranes.

Passive transport does not require the input of metabolic energy; the net movement of molecules is from high concentration to low concentration.

• Passive Transport is the diffusion of a substance across a

semi-permeable membrane from an area of high

concentration to an area of low concentration WITHOUT

the use of energy.

• Passive transport plays a primary role in the import of

resources and the export of wastes.

– Diffusion is the tendency for molecules to spread out evenly into

the available space.

– Although each molecule moves randomly, diffusion of a

population of molecules may exhibit a net movement in one

direction.

– At dynamic equilibrium, as many molecules cross one way as

cross in the other direction.

• Substances diffuse down their concentration

gradient, the difference in concentration of a

substance from one area to another.

• No work must be done to move substances down

the concentration gradient.

• The diffusion of a substance across a biological

membrane is passive transport because it

requires no energy from the cell to make it

happen.

DIFFUSION EXISTS IN TWO FORMS: Dialysis and Osmosis

• Dialysis: the PASSIVE movement of particles across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (no energy).

• Osmosis: the PASSIVE movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (no energy).

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Effects of Osmosis on Water Balance

• Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a

selectively permeable membrane.

• Water diffuses across a membrane from the

region of lower solute concentration to the region

of higher solute concentration.

• THIS MEANS THAT WATER ALWAYS

ATTEMPTS TO DILUTE!!!!

Water Balance of Cells Without Walls

• Tonicity is the ability of a solution to cause a cell

to gain or lose water:

– Isotonic solution: Solute concentration is the

same as that inside the cell; no net water

movement across the plasma membrane

– Hypertonic solution: Solute concentration is

greater than that inside the cell; cell loses

water

– Hypotonic solution: Solute concentration is

less than that inside the cell; cell gains water

• Hypertonic or hypotonic environments create

osmotic problems for organisms.

• Osmoregulation, the control of water balance, is

a necessary adaptation for life in such

environments.

• The protist Paramecium, which is hypertonic to its

pond water environment, has a contractile vacuole

that acts as a pump to regulate its water balance.

(b) When full, the vacuole and canals contract, expelling

fluid from the cell.

Water Balance of Cells with Walls

• Cell walls help maintain water balance.

• A plant cell in a hypotonic solution swells until the

wall opposes uptake; the cell is now turgid (firm).

• If a plant cell and its surroundings are isotonic,

there is no net movement of water into the cell; the

cell becomes flaccid (limp), and the plant may

wilt.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

• In a hypertonic environment, plant cells lose

water; eventually, the membrane pulls away from

the wall, a usually lethal effect called plasmolysis.

Understanding Water Potential

• Water potential (Ψ) is a measure of the potential energy of water.

• It relies on the combined effects of two factors, solute concentration

and pressure potential, which are incorporated into a single

measurement called water potential (Ψ).

• This measurement allows us to understand in which direction water will

flow due to osmosis, gravity, and pressure, even surface tension.

• It allows us to predict whether or not water will flow into a cell.

• Water potential is measure as:

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Understanding Water Potential

• The standard for measuring

water potential is pure water.

• Pure water has a water potential

of ZERO bars.

• Water potential is measured on

either side of a membrane.

• Water flows from an area of high

water potential to an area of

lower water potential.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Understanding Solute Potential

• Solute potential is also called osmotic

potential because solutes affect the

direction of osmosis.

• Solute potential DECREASES with

increasing solute CONCENTRATION; and

this decrease causes a DECREASE IN

WATER POTENTIAL.

• This is because solutes bind to water

molecules reducing the number of free

water molecules to move and therefore

perform work.

• This means that INCREASING solute

concentration DECREASES water

potential!

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Effect of Solute on Water Potential

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Calculating Solute Potential (ΨS)

• Once you know a solute concentration, you can calculate solute potential

using the following formula: (ΨS ) = – iCRT

• Pure water has a solute potential (Ψs) of zero. Solute potential can never be positive.

• Adding solute to pure water is a negative experience; thus the solute potential becomes negative.

– i = The ionization constant (two what degree will the substance produce ions in water):

• for NaCl this would be 2;

• for sucrose or glucose, this number is 1

– C = Molar concentration (experimentally determined)

• Iso-osmolar molarity: would allow you to place a potato in the solution and get no movement of water.

• Point at which the line crosses 0 on the graph.

– R = Pressure constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole K

– T = Temperature in degrees Kelvin = 273 + °C of solution

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Pressure Potential (ΨP)

• Pressure potential is the sum of all pressure on water. It is measured in units

of MPa or Bars.

– Turgor pressure is the force caused by the cell membrane pushing against

the cell wall. Wall pressure is an equal and opposite force exerted by the

cell wall. It counteracts the movement of water due to osmosis.

– Pressure potential can be NEGATIVE as in water tension (transpiration in

the xylem of a plant).

– Pressure potential can be POSITIVE as in turgor pressure (water in living

cells under positive pressure).

– Pure water in an open container has a water potential of zero at one

atmospheric pressure.

– If physical pressure is applied to a solution, then its water potential (the

potential for the water to move and do work) will be affected. How it is

affected depends upon the direction of the pressure.

– Increased pressure raises water potential!

Effect of Positive Pressure on Water Potential

Key Points to Remember

• Water always moves from [hi] to [low] concentration, or from [hi]

to [low] potential. This means that water always moves from

hypotonic to hypertonic.

• [Solute] is related to osmotic potential (the potential for water

to move across a semi-permeable membrane from high to low

concentration).

– Increased solutes decreases water potential.

• [Pressure] is related to pressure potential.

– Increased pressure raises water potential.

• Always use ZERO for pressure potential in animal cells and

open containers.

– 1 bar of pressure = 1 atmosphere.

Facilitated Diffusion

• In facilitated diffusion, transport proteins speed

the passive movement of molecules across the

plasma membrane.

• Channel proteins provide corridors that allow a

specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane -

facilitated diffusion is still passive because the

solute moves down its concentration gradient.

• Channel proteins include:

– Aquaporins, for facilitated diffusion of water

– Ion channels that open or close in response to a

stimulus (gated channels)

Active transport requires free energy to move molecules from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration.

• Active Transport uses free energy to move

molecules AGAINST their concentration gradients

via proteins imbedded in the cell membrane.

– Active transport is a process where free energy (often

provided by ATP) is used by proteins embedded in the

membrane to “move” molecules and/or ions across the

membrane and to establish and maintain concentration

gradients.

– Membrane proteins are NECESSARY for active

transport.

– Active transport allows cells to maintain concentration

gradients that DIFFER from their surroundings.

How Ion Pumps Maintain Membrane Potential

• Membrane potential is the voltage difference

across a membrane:

– Voltage is created by differences in the distribution

of positive and negative ions.

• Two combined forces, collectively called the

electrochemical gradient, drive the diffusion of

ions across a membrane:

– A chemical force (the ion’s concentration gradient)

– An electrical force (the effect of the membrane

potential on the ion’s movement)

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

• An electrogenic pump is a transport protein that generates voltage across a

membrane:

– For example, the sodium-potassium pump is the major electrogenic

pump of animal cells.

• The main electrogenic pump of plants, fungi, and bacteria is a proton pump.

Cellular Pumps

Cotransport

• Cotransport is coupled transport by a membrane protein. It occurs

when the active transport of a solute indirectly drives the transport of

another solute:

– For example, plants commonly use the gradient of hydrogen ions

generated by proton pumps to drive the active transport of

nutrients into the cell.

The processes of endocytosis and exocytosis move large molecules from the external environment to the internal environment and vice versa.

• Bulk transport across the plasma membrane

occurs by exocytosis and endocytosis.

– Small molecules and water enter or leave the

cell through the lipid bilayer or by transport

proteins, but large molecules, such as

polysaccharides and proteins, cross the

membrane in bulk via vesicles.

– Bulk transport requires energy and is therefore

a type of ACTIVE transport.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Exocytosis

• In exocytosis, transport vesicles migrate to the

membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents.

– Many secretory cells use exocytosis to export

their products (proteins).

– In what part of the cell were these proteins

made? The ER or cytoplasm?

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Endocytosis

• In endocytosis, the cell takes in macromolecules

by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane.

• Endocytosis is a reversal of exocytosis, involving

different proteins.

• There are three types of endocytosis:

– Phagocytosis (“cellular eating”)

– Pinocytosis (“cellular drinking”)

– Receptor-mediated endocytosis

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

• In phagocytosis a cell engulfs a particle in a

vacuole. The vacuole fuses with a lysosome to

digest the particle.

• In pinocytosis, molecules are taken up when

extracellular fluid is “gulped” into tiny vesicles.

• In receptor-mediated endocytosis, binding of

ligands to receptors triggers vesicle formation:

– A ligand is any molecule that binds specifically to a

receptor site of another molecule.

BIG IDEA II Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks

to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Enduring Understanding 2.B

Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis

require that cells create and maintain internal environments

that are different from their external environments.

membranes that partition the cell into specialized regions.

• Learning Objectives:

– (2.13) The student is able to explain how internal

membranes and organelles contribute to cell functions.

– (2.14) The student is able to use representations and

models to describe differences in prokaryotic and

eukaryotic cells.

Overview: The Fundamental Units of Life

• All organisms are made of cells.

• The cell is the simplest collection of matter

that can live.

• Cell structure is correlated to cellular function.

• All cells are related by their descent from earlier

cells.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Types of Cells

• The basic structural and functional unit of every

organism is one of two types of cells: prokaryotic

or eukaryotic.

• Eukaryotic cells have internal membranes that

compartmentalize their functions:

– Protists, fungi, animals, and plants all consist

of eukaryotic cells.

• Only organisms of the domains Bacteria and

Archaea consist of prokaryotic cells.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

• Basic features of all cells:

– Plasma membrane

– Semifluid substance called cytosol

– Chromosomes (carry genes)

– Ribosomes (make proteins)

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

• Prokaryotes:

– Archaea and bacteria generally LACK internal membranes and organelles but have a cell wall!

– NO NUCLEUS, but do have nucleoid region with DNA present

– Small and Simple

– Have cell membranes and cytoplasm

• Ex. Bacteria and Archaea

• Eukaryotes:

– Contain nuclei

– Contains organelles that perform specialized functions

– Unicellular or multicellular

• Ex. Plants, animals, protists, fungi

Organelles: Emergent Properties

• All biological systems are composed of parts that interact

with each other. These interactions result in

characteristics not found in the individual parts alone. In

other words, “THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM

OF ITS PARTS.”

– This phenomenon is referred to as emergent properties.

• Biological systems from the molecular level to the

ecosystem level exhibit properties of biocomplexity and

diversity.

• Together, these two properties provide robustness to

biological systems, enabling greater resiliency and

flexibility to tolerate and respond to changes in the

environment.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Internal membranes facilitate cellular processes by minimizing competing interactions and by increasing surface area where reactions can occur.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Membranes and membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells localize (compartmentalize) intracellular metabolic processes and specific enzymatic reactions.

• Subcellular Structures that Function in Control:

– Nucleus (plant and animal)

– Centrosome (plant and animal)

• Subcellular Structures that Function in Assembly, Transport, and Storage:

– Endoplasmic reticulum (plant and animal)

– Ribosomes (plant and animal)

– Golgi apparatus (plant and animal)

– Vacuoles (plant -1 large, and animal - many)

– Lysosomes (animal)

– Leucoplasts (plant only)

• Subcellular Structures that Function in Energy Transformations:

– Chloroplasts and Chromoplasts (plant only)

– Mitochondria (plant and animal)

The Endomembrane System

• The endomembrane system regulates protein traffic and

performs metabolic functions in the cell. These membranes

serve to minimize competing interactions and increase the

surface area where reactions can occur.

• Components of the endomembrane system:

– Nuclear envelope

– Endoplasmic reticulum

– Golgi apparatus

– Lysosomes

– Vacuoles

– Plasma membrane

• These components are either continuous or connected via

transfer by vesicles.

Lysosomes: Digestive Compartments

• A lysosome is a membranous sac of hydrolytic

enzymes that can digest macromolecules.

• Lysosomal enzymes can hydrolyze proteins, fats, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids.

• Lysosomes use enzymes to recycle the cell’s own organelles and macromolecules, a process called autophagy.

– Some types of cells can engulf other cells by phagocytosis; this forms a food vacuole.

– When this happens, a lysosome fuses with the food vacuole and digests the molecules.

In autophagy, lysosomes also use

enzymes to recycle the cell’s own

organelles and macromolecules.

Apoptosis – Programmed Cell Death

• Programmed destruction of cells (apoptosis) by

their own lysosomal enzymes is important in the

development of many multicellular organisms

(such as tadpoles into frogs).

• This even occurs in the hands of human embryos

(which are webbed until lysosomes digest the

tissue between the fingers).

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Lysosomal Disorders

• A variety of inherited disorders called lysosomal

storage diseases affect lysosomal metabolism.

– In Pompe’s disease, the liver is damaged by

an accumulation of glycogen due to the

absence of a lysosomal enzyme needed to

break down that polysaccharide.

– In Tay-sacs disease, a lipid-digesting enzyme

is missing or inactive, and the brain becomes

impaired by an accumulation of lipids in the

cells.

Functions of Rough ER

• The rough ER

– Functions to compartmentalize the cell, serves as

mechanical support, provides site-specific protein

synthesis with membrane-bound ribosomes.

– Has bound ribosomes, which secrete glycoproteins

(proteins covalently bonded to carbohydrates)

– Distributes transport vesicles, proteins surrounded by

membranes

– Is a membrane factory for the cell

Mitochondria & Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts change free energy

from one form to another.

• Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration,

a metabolic process that generates ATP.

• Chloroplasts, found in plants and algae, are the

sites of photosynthesis.

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts are NOT part of the

endomembrane system of cells:

– Both have a double membrane, have proteins made by

free ribosomes, and contain their own DNA.
