Module 2: Cell Structures and their Functions

Overview

- Cell = basic living unit of all organisms, smallest part of an organism that still retains all 6

characteristics of life

- Specialized microscopic structures within cell = organelles

- Cells: metabolism (energy released from food sources), synthesis of molecules,

communication b/w cells, inheritance of genetic

- Nucleus contains DNA

- All cells bound by cell membrane that is made up of mostly phospholipids and proteins

- Semi-permeable membrane

- Regulation of movement across cell membrane helps the cell maintain a constant

internal environment, homeostasis

- Several methods for substances to move in + out of cells.

- Method depends on size of substance, solubility in lipids, polarity, ionic charge, etc.

Notes - 3.1-3.3

3.1 Cell Structure

- Trillions of cells in humans

- Cell: basic living unit of all organisms, smallest units that have all the characteristics of

life

- Nucleus: organelle containing genetic material

- Cytoplasm: living material surrounding nucleus

- cell/plasma membrane: cytoplasm is enclosed by this

- no single cell contains all these organelle types

- One cell may contain many organelles of one type

3.2 - Functions of the Cell

-4 main functions of a cell:

- Cell metabolism + energy use



: chemical reactions within cells collectively = cell

metabolism

- Energy released during metabolism ---> used for cell activities (ex. Synthesis of new

molecules, muscle contraction, heat production, which helps maintain body temp)

- Synthesis of molecules



: cells synthesize molecules, incl. Proteins, nucleic acids, lipids

- Structural + functional characteristics of cells determined by types of molecules they

produce

- Communication



: cells produce + receive chemical + electrical signals. Allow for

communication.

- Ex. nerve cells communicate with each other + with muscle cells ----> muscle cells

contract

- Reproduction and inheritance



: each cell contains copy of genetic info of indiv.

- Specialized cells (sperm cells + oocytes) transmit genetic info to next generation
