• http://www.sirinet.net/~jgjohnso/aphome.html • This is a GREAT website made by another AP Biology teacher in Oklahoma. Check it out. There are practice quizzes, notes etc etc. • Review your metric measurements: SEE PAGE 103 • n = 10-9 m • µ = 10-6 m • mm = 10-3 m • cm = 10-2 m Closed system Open system Using energy gradients (energy at each step) to help do work. Staying away from equilibrium. (like respiration!) how is a human an open system? Negative G = a loss of free Energy The products have less energy than the reactants, EXERGONIC Figure 7.3 cell fractionation, centrifuge What are the largest organelles/parts of a cell that fraction off into the pellet first? What are the smallest? (last) (What are microsomes?) The endomembrane system’s interconnectedness. All membranes are the same bilayer. Peroxisomes • Consume deadly free oxygen within the cell, transport it to mitochondria. • Enzymes transfer hydrogen to oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) • H2O2 is also toxic to a cell, and an enzyme made by the peroxisome can break down H2O2 into O and H2O when necessary. • Fig. 7.19 The cytoskeleton maintains the cell’s shape and more… p.120 Microtubules largest compression resisting (girders) made of tubulin (tube) large scale movements: chromosomes flagella, cilia, Microfilaments smallest tension bearing (resists pulling) made of actin muscle contraction cytoplasmic movements (see 7.27) Intermediate filaments intermediate size tension bearing (resists pulling) made of keratin-type proteins anchors organelles Microfilaments and movement • http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/images/Fig_16.36.jpg http://ccollege.hccs.cc.tx.us/instru/Biology/AllStud yPages/Cells/Plant_Animal.htm http://homepage.ntlworld.com/postalmicsoc/spagfr1.jpg Amphipathic nature of the phospholipid bilayer What can diffuse through the hydrophobic zone of the bilayer and what cannot? How can molecules get into a cell if they are not able to diffuse through the membrane directly? http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/bilayer.gif The endomembrane system Why are there so many different organelles and so many different membranes inside a cell? Answer: Gives the cell the ability to do many different specialized reactions at one time, in different parts of the cell—complexity!
