All cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic materials (DNA), ribosome (the
70S – prokaryotes) (the 80S – eukaryotes).
- Distinguish between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells:
Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells
- No nucleus & membrane-bound - Have nucleus & membrane-
organelles. bound organelles.
- Have genetic materials (DNA). - Have genetic materials (DNA).
- 1 cell (bacteria) - Complex (plants, animals, and
some protists)
- Distinguish between animal cells and plant cells: (They are both eukaryotic
cells)
Animal cells Plant cells
- Membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER):
+ sER produces carbohydrates, lipids. Lipids derivative of lipids
is steroids cholesterol and cortisol. Cholesterol vitamin D &
sex hormone.
+ rER: protein
Same - Nucleus (nucleolus)
- Ribosome 80S
- Gogi apparatus
- Mitochondria “The powerhouse of the cell”: Producing
energy and building blocks for the cells. Fuels are proteins,
carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids.
- Peroxisomes (giải độc)
- Cytoskeleton
Different - Lysosome (clean and - Plastid
digest unwanted - Chloroplast (like
materials) mitochondria)
Cyanobacteria don’t have it.
Have inner membrane, the
surface has chlorophyll tổng
hợp được chất dinh dưỡng.
- Central vacuoles (larger
than animal cells, use to
store food and H2O)
- Glyoxysome (a special
type of peroxisome)
- Cell wall (help maintain
cells shape, stand upright
without the bones)
Part 2: Cell membrane and cell communication
1. List 3 structural components of the cell membrane and the functions of
each component:
- Proteins: Enzyme, channel, signaling
- Carbohydrates: recognition/signaling sites
- Cholesterols: makes the bilayer stronger, more flexible but less fluid, and less
permeable to water-soluble substances such as ions and monosaccharides
2. List 2 characteristics of cell membrane
- The cell membrane is semipermeable, or selectively permeable because some
things can easily pass through it while others cannot.
Small Large
Hydrophobic Including O2, CO2, H2O Difficult
Easy
Hydrophilic Difficult Difficult
- Made up of phospholipids: arranged in two layers called a bilayer.
3. Distinguish between Pump and Channel
Pump Channel
Need energy (ATP) No
Substances can move against their Substances only can move down their
concentration gradient (low to high) concentration gradient (high to low)
4. Differentiate between diffusion and osmosis.
Diffusion Osmosis
The movement of solvent and solute The diffusion of water across a
to equalize the concentration (high semipermeable membrane (low conc
conc low conc) high conc)
5. Differentiate between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions. The effects of
osmosis on cells without a cell wall and cell with cell wall (Hint: What
would happen to plant cells in hypotonic/hypertonic/isotonic solution, what
would happen to animal cells in hypotonic/hypertonic/isotonic solution?)
Hypertonic solutions Hypotonic solutions
High solute conc gain water Low solute conc loose water
