Chapter 5: Membrane Transport and Cell Signaling Amphiphatic- refers to something that has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions the cell membrane proteins Fluidity Low Temperatures-less fluid because the phospholipids pack together tightly Factors that Affect Fluidity: Amount of phospholipids- phospholipids have kinks in the tails due to their hydrogen bonds which make them harder to pack Cholesterol- inhibits the packing of the phospholipid tails at LOW TEMPERATURE. AT HIGH TEMPERATURE, it solidifies the membrane because it inhibits the movement of tails Proteins in the Membrane Intergal-penetrate the membrane, hydrophobic exterior, hydrophilic interior Peripheral-lie on either side of the membrane Major Protein Functions: -Transport-allows materials to diffuse

Chapter 7 A View of the Cell The Discovery of Cells The History of the Cell Theory The first person to record looking at water under a microscope was Anton van Leeuwenhoek. Robert Hooke used a compound light microscope to study cork, the dead cells of oak bark. Matthias Schleiden studied plants under a microscope and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodore Schwann studied animal cells and concluded that all animals are made of cells. Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells & all cells come from preexisting cells The Cell Theory: All organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of organization of organisms. All cells come from preexisting cells.

DO NOT WRITE ON THIS TEST- USE ANSWER DOCUMENT FORM: A 1 AP Biology-Chapter #6 & 7 Review Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1. All of the following are part of a prokaryotic cell except a. DNA. b. a cell wall. c. a plasma membrane. d. ribosomes. e. an endoplasmic reticulum. 2. The volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger than the corresponding volume in animal cells. The most reasonable explanation for this observation is that a. plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells. b. plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cells. c. plant cells contain a large vacuole that

Chapter 8 Metabolism The totality of an organism?s chemical reactions An emergent property of life that arises from orderly interactions between molecules A chemical reaction is an alteration in the chemical properties of a molecule Often these chemical properties of a molecule are changed in a series of steps Ex: breaking down and changing the chemistry of what you eat A metabolic pathway is a series of steps that alter a molecule to manage material and energy It begins with a specific molecule, which is then altered in a series of defined steps, resulting in a certain product Therefore, metabolism is the management of materials and energy in an organism utilizing chemical reactions in specific pathways 2 Basic Metabolic Pathways

Chapter 7: Cellular Structure and Function THE CELL THEORY -All organisims are composed of one or more cells -The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms -All cells come from pre-existing cells PROKARYOTIC CELL -Simple structure -Contains a plasma membrane -Does not contain membrane bound organelles EUKARYOTIC CELL -Contains a plasma membranre -Contains membrane-bound organelles PLASMA MEMBRANE -Thin, flexible boundary between the cell and its enviornment -Allows nutrients into the cell -Allows waste to leave the cell SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY -The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell -The plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer FLUID MOSAIC MODEL

Cells, Membranes and Cellular Reproduction A Tour of the Cell ? Cell Structure & Function ? Chapter 4 ? Compared to the images generated by the Hubble telescope or the planetary probes like Voyager, telescope images are limited. ? Same with looking at cells under a light microscope, view is limited. ?Which of the following cell parts are visible under a light microscope? ? Cell membrane - yes. ? Large macromolecules - no. ? Microtubules - no. ? Mitochondria - maybe just barely. ? Many bacteria - yes ? The microscopic size of most cells ensures a sufficient surface area across which nutrients and wastes can move to service the cell volume ? A small cell has a greater ratio of surface area to volume than a large cell of the same shape 30 ?m 10 ?m

Miles Diehl 5th period 10/26/2013 All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the most basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all organisms. All cells come from pre-existing, living cells. It is important because it describes the properties of cells, and the basic unit of structure in every living thing. Matthias Jakob Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow together formulated the cell theory.
