• Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms.

• All Cells come from existing cells.

Common Features of Cells

DNA Ribosomes

Cytoskeleton

No nucleus

Lack membrane bound organelles.

Circular DNA

Ch 4 Cells and Their Environment

Key Terms

• Section 1 – Passive transport, concentration gradient, equilibrium, diffusion, osmosis, hypertonic solution, hypotonic solution, isotonic solution, ion channel, carrier protein, facilitated diffusion.

• Section 2- Active transport, sodium-potassium pump, endocytosis, exocytosis, receptor protein, second messenger.

Passive Transport –does not require energy.

Diffusion – The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

Osmosis – The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.

Diffusion through ion channels is passive transport. It does not require energy.

Facilitated Diffusion is passive transport. It requires carrier proteins but it does not require energy. Why?

Active Transport

• The movement of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient.

• The energy needed for active transport is supplied directly or indirectly by ATP.

An important carrier protein used to move substances

against the concentration gradient.

Active Transport

Active Transport

Endocytosis

Exocytosis

Ch 5 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Key Terms

Section 1- Photosynthesis, autotroph, heterotroph, cellular respiration.

Section 2 – Pigment, chlorophyll, carotenoid, thylakoid, electron transport chain, NADPH, carbon dioxide fixation, Calvin cycle.

Section 3- Aerobic, anaerobic, glycolysis, NADH, Krebs cycle, FADH2, fermentation.

Flow of energy• Energy flows from sunlight or inorganic

substances to autotrophs then to heterotrophs.

Photosynthesis

Chlorophylls absorb mostly violet, blue, and red light, while carotenoids absorb mostly blue and green light.

Sunlight contains a mixture of wavelengths of visible light.

Pigment molecules are embedded in thylakoid membranes

The electron transport chain converts light energy into chemical energy.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration occurs in two stages.

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration.

Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm.

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process that breaks down one six carbon glucose to two three carbon pyruvate ions.

Glycolysis uses two ATP molecules but produces four for a net gain of two ATP molecules.

When oxygen is present, pyruvate produced during glycolysis enters a mitochondrion and Acetyl-CoA is formed and carbon dioxide is released.

After the Krebs cycle, NADH and FADH2 contain energy that was previously stored in glucose and pyruvate. These electrons pass through the Electron Transport Chain in the inner membranes of the mitochondria.

Most ATP is produced during aerobic respiration.When oxygen is not present, fermentation follows glycolysis regenerating NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.

Ch 6 Chromosomes and Cell Reproduction

Key Terms

Section 1 – Gamete, binary fission, gene, chromosome, chromatid, centromere, homologous chromosome, diploid, haploid, zygote, autosome, sex chromosome, karyotype.

Section 2 – Cell cycle, interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis, cancer.

Section 3 - Spindle

Prokaryotic Cells

• Cell division is simple.• A single cell doubles

in size and then separates into two daughter cells

• Binary fission

Eukaryotic Cell

• Cell division more complex.

• Process of cell division called mitosis.

Chromosomes contain genetic information.After replication become visible by condensing.

• Chromatids - one of the two strands of a chromosome that become visible during mitosis.

• Centromere - the region of the chromosome that holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis

Chromatin - DNA and associated proteins observed when the nucleus in not dividing.

Phases of the cell cycle.

• G 1 - Most of the cell’s growth takes place.

• S phase - chromosome replication takes place.

• G 2 - preparation for cell division.

• M phase (mitosis) - Cell division takes place.

Cancer cells lose the normal ability to regulate the cell cycle.

The Cell Cycle -Interphase

• G 1, S, G 2, period between cell divisions.

• The long strands of DNA and protein that make up chromosomes unfold and are difficult to see.

• Chromosomes active directing cell growth & development.

Mitosis - Prophase

• Longest phase- 50% of mitosis.

• Chromosomes appear as a result of condensing and coiling of chromatin.

• Chromosomes consist of 2 identical strands attached at the centromere.

Prophase

• In animal cells two centrioles (b.) separate and move to opposite sides of the nucleus

• Spindle fibers (c.) - network of microtubules begin to form.

• Nucleus begins to disappear.

Metaphase

• Shortest phase of mitosis - lasts only a few minutes.

• Chromosomes complete attachment to spindle fibers

• Chromosomes line up across the middle of cell

Anaphase

• Centromeres split, allowing sister chromatids to separate.

• Chromosomes move to opposite poles.

• Anaphase is complete when chromosomes have stopped moving.

Telophase

• Microtubules of the spindle begin to break apart

• Chromosomes uncoil into chromatin

• Nuclear membrane forms

Cytokinesis

• The division of the cytoplasm into 2 individual cells

• Animal cells - pinching

• Plant cells - plate forms.
