Document Summary

Chapter 3 cell structure and function: basic cellular structures: 1: cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane, nucleus (eukaryotes) or nucleoid (prokaryotes no membrane!, ribosomes protein synthesis, cell wall - found in plants & most prokaryotes; not in animals, two types of cells, prokaryote simpler internal structure lack membrane-enclosed organelles. Bacteria & archaea: eukaryote larger & more complex. Algae, fungi, protozoa, plants, animals: viruses, non-cellular, reproduce only inside a host cell, ex. Cm is a phospholipid bilayer each layer called a leaflet . Phospholipid: glycerol with ester links to 2 fatty acids, hydrophilic (dissolve in water) group faces cytoplasm or periplasm, hydrophobic (don"t dissolve in water) fatty acids line up inside membrane. Attraction of nonpolar fatty acid portions of one phospholipid layer for other layer result in selective permeability of cell membrane. Peripheral membrane proteins bound to surface of membrane. Cytoplasmic membrane: functions: permeability barrier, prevents cytoplasmic metabolites from leaking into environment, transport of substances (nutrients & waste products) into & out of cell.
