Cell TransportWarm Up:

1) List the three points of the cell theory from your homework last night.

2) Describe the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Homework: Complete the “practice” found on the last notebook page for today

Cell – the basic unit of all life

Semi-permeable – some objects can pass through cell membrane (mostly water)

Basic Cell Organelles: Cell Membrane – protects cell/gatekeeper Cytoplasm – fluid inside cell/ helps keep shape Nucleus – typically holds cells genetic material

Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic OrganismsProkaryotic – single-celled organisms, no nucleus - usually bacteria, not very complexEukaryotic – multi-cellular organisms, nucleus - usually more complex with more organelles

Movement Into and Out of Cells:Diffusion: movement from an area of high concentration to low concentration

Osmosis: diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane

Tuesday, January 15, 2013Wednesday, January 16, 2013

Using Energy to Transport Materials Across the Cell MembraneTwo Main Categories:

Passive Transport/Diffusion (usually small particles) – Moves substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

Example: Food coloring added to a beaker of water: before after

Active Transport (usually larger particles) – Relies on the cell using energy (ATP) to move particles across the membrane

Three Categories:1. Transport Proteins: Special proteins use energy/ATP to pump materials into cell (gatekeeper)2. Endocytosis: membrane surrounds particles to move them inside (see diagram on next slide)3. Exocytosis : release of substances from inside vesicles through joining and then releasing from the cell membrane (see diagram on next slide)

Exchanging materials between the cell and its environment

Passive Transport Active Transport

Diffusion

Osmosis

Transport Proteins use ATP

Endocytosis (reverse for Exocytosis)

Video’s and Examples

Passive and Active Transport AnimationsEndocytosis and Exocytosis Animation

Homework/PracticeDIRECTIONS- First Identify if the process is moving materials by active or passive transport. Then determine if the process is diffusion, osmosis, transport proteins, endocytosis, or exocytosis.

1. WATER MOVES OUT OF PLANT LEAF, CAUSING IT TO WILT AND DRY.

2. IF YOU PLACE A TEA BAG IN WATER AND TEA IS MADE.

3. IF FOOD THAT IS TOO LARGE TO ENTER THROUGH THE CELL MEMBRANE IS BROUGHT INTO THE CELL TO KEEP IT FROM DYING.

4. YOU SMELL THE DELICIOUS ODOR OF BAKING COOKIES BEFORE YOU ENTER THE KITCHEN.

5. FRESH WATER MOVES INTO A SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM.

6. A ONE CELLED AMEOBA SURROUNDS A PARTICLE OF FOOD.

7. EXCESS SALT THAT AN IGUANA HAS SOAKED UP IN THE OCEAN IS REMOVED THROUGH THE NOSTRILS.

8. IF A PLANT PUMPS MINERALS FROM THE SOIL TO THE ROOT OF THE PLANT.

Cell Organelle Quiz and Cell Cycle NotesWarm Up:

Homework:

Cell cycle - normal sequence of the development and division of a cell

Three main stages:1) Interphase - cell is performing normal

functions and preparing to divide

- the longest part of the cycle - cell grows about twice its original

size - goes about regular cell activities - DNA is copied to prepare for

mitosis2) Mitosis - nucleus splits and divides

- prokaryotes do not do this (no nucleus)- usually the shortest period in cycle- goal of mitosis is to transfer DNA and other cell structures from parent cell to new cell

3) Cytokinesis – occurs directly after mitosis - parent cell pinches off - two genetically identical cells form

known• Found everywhere• Prokaryotes (DNA not

stored in nucleus)

Reproduction• Binary fission

Bacteria3 main shapes• Spiral (also known as Spirillum) • Rod (Bacillus)• Round (Coccus)

E. Coli – Causes food poisoningStreptococcus –

causes strep throatMost spirilla affect animals

ProtistsCharacteristics• Usually single-celled• moist environment• Grouped by how they move and get food

Plant-like Protist called Volvox

Plant-like Euglena

Animal-like Protist called Paramecium

Animal-like Protist called Amoeba

ProtistsFlagellates

• Move with a whip like tail called flagella

• Euglena• Plant-like

Psudopodia• Move with false feet

called psudopods• Disease causer –

Ameoba causing Dysentery

Ciliates

•Move with tiny hairs called cilia•Cilia help capture food Paramecium feeding (animal-like)

FungiCharacteristics• 3 groups: mushrooms, molds, yeasts• Act as decomposers and absorbs nutrients

ReproductionMostly asexual Mostly with spore dispersal

FungiGood Examples• Food• Yeast is used to make bread• Penicillin kills bacteria

Disease Causing• Athlete’s Foot is a parasitic

fungal infection caused by

• causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas

ParasitesCharacteristics• a harmful relationship to the host

Reproduction• depends on the parasite

ParasitesGood Examples

• Harmful by definition

Disease Causing

• Tapeworms - from uncooked meat

• Fleas• Bed bugs - suck

blood from sleeping victims

VIRUSESCharacteristics• Smaller than bacteria• NOT living organisms• Consist of genetic material within a special

protein coating called a capsid.

VIRUSESReproduction• Use host cell to copy DNA and produce new

viruses• 5 steps to virus multiplication:

1. Attachment2. Injection3. Production4. Assembly5. Release

Taxonomy: a way to biologically classify all living organisms using similarities and differences-Before the 1700’s there was not system everyone could agree on and it make naming organisms very confusing

Classification: uses behaviors, physical characteristics (color/size/shape) and/or DNA - creates a frame of reference for large groups of organisms (all cats have similar characteristics)-Ancient species who share traits with modern species are grouped together and typically considered ancestors.

Naming Species: Written as Genus then species -This makes naming organisms easier and universal throughout the world-The more names an organism shares with another organism the more closely related to two each other (see upside down triangle) - 6 Kingdoms of living things: Plantae, Anamalia, Protista, Fungi, Archaea and Bacteria
