CELLS

Types of cells

Eukaryotic

Prokaryotic

  • Single celled
  • Does NOT contain nucleus
  • Does NOT have membrane bound complex organelles
  • DNA is free floating around the cell
  • Contain ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane
  • Make up archaea and bacteria
  • Single cell
  • Contains nucleus which contains all the DNA and also control functions inside the cell
  • Contains membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria, ER, golgi apparatus, vacuoles, chloroplast (only in plant cells), lysosome etc...
  • Eukaryotes makeup fungi, animals, protists, and plants (everything else that is not made up by prokaryotes are made up of eukaryotes).

Plant and Animal cells

Organelles

Cell Membrane

Tonicity/Osmosis

made up of Phospholipid bilayer

Proteins

Phosphate head - hydrophilic

2 fatty acid tails - hydrophobic

Allows small non polar molecules through without assistance

Proteins are needed to allow certain
substances to pass through the membrane

carrier/transport proteins

channel proteins

receptor proteins

Aquaporins

  • Mitochondria - produces energy
  • Golgi Apparatus - process and package macromolecule proteins
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth) - found in both animal and plant cells, function of this cell is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough) - ribosomes are attached to the surface, synthesize proteins that are mostly transported out of the cell
  • Nucleus - hold DNA and controls the functions inside the cell
  • Ribosomes - make proteins
  • Lysosomes - removes waste
  • Cytoplasm - consists of all the organelles
  • Vesicles - cellular package containing products such as protein
  • Vacuoles - a storage area for nutrients and waste

Transports substances across the cell membrane but can also be used to transport substances against the concentration gradient using ATP

Transports substances across the membrane.using facilitated diffusion which is passive.

Transport water across the cell membrane

Isotonic

Hypertonic

Hypotonic

Osmosis

When a solution contains less solutes compared to the solution inside the cell

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane (cell membrane)

When a solution contains more solutes compared to the solution inside the cell

When a solution has an equal number of solutes with the inside of a cell. Equal net movement

net movement into cell

net movement equal

net movement outside cell

serve as a way to identify the cell and to transmit information to the cell

  • Animal cell vs Plant cell
  • Both have cell membrane
  • Both have a nucleus
  • Both have ribosomes
  • Both have DNA
  • Both have cytoplasm
  • Both have ER
  • Plant cells have large permanent vacuole
  • Plant cell has a cell wall; animal does not
  • Plant cells have chloroplast
  • Animal cells have lysosomes

Large and charged molecules cannot pass through the membrane without a protein

plant - turgid ; animal - lysed

plant and animal - normal/flaccid

plant - plasmolysed ; animal - crenated
