Chemical Bonds

Proteins undergo folding to form three-dimensional structures, including membrane proteins. These proteins interact differently with polar and nonpolar molecules due to their solubility in the lipid bilayer.

Chemical Bonds

Hydrogen Bonds Link Adenine and Thymine together in DNA. And they line Adenine and Uracil in RNA

Glycolysis

Aerobic Cell Respiration

This unique arrangement acts as a formidable barrier to the free passage if polar molecules and ions.

Pyruvate Oxidation

Polar v Nonpolar Molecules

Nonpolar Molecules (O + CO2): they can easily diffuse the lipid bilayer because they are soluble in the hydrophobic interior.

Polar Molecules (Glucose + Ions): Struggle to pass through the lipid bilayer because of their interaction with the hydrophobic region.

Hydrogen bonds link Uracil and Adenine together in RNA

Hydrogen Bonds link adenine and thymine together in DNA

Hydrogen Bonds join these (G + C) together.

Chemical Bonds

Cell Communication

G Protein Coupled Receptor
cAMP is a second messenger in signaling pathway of a G protein

GCPR is activated with a first messenger bind

Then the now activated GCPR binds to the G protein then activates GTP and activated G protein.

Attaches to Adenyl Cyclase which causes phosphatase to occur

Activated Adenyl Cyclase converts cAMP to ATP

Then second messenger cAMP activates another protein

Cellular Response

Tyrosine Kinase
Inactive monomers with a ligand binding site

When signal molecules bond with receptor sites they create dimer of two tyrosine kinase receptors

Dimerization activates phosphorylation

The active receptor is now recognized by multiple relay proteins

Cellular Response

Energy Transfer

Cell Membranes as Permeable Barriers

Cell membranes are selectively permeable barriers due to their lipid bilayer and the presence of various proteins and cholesterol. They serve as a protective boundary that separates the interior of a cell from its external environment. This selectively permeability is crucial for a variety of cellular functions. As a result of these properties, the membranes can regulate the passage of ions, nutrients, waste products, and other molecules in and out of the cell. This ensures that the internal environment remains stable and conducive for the cell's ideal functioning. This selective permeability is vital for processes like nutrient uptake, waste removal, signal transduction, and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.



Fluid Mosaic Model
Cholesterol
Interspersed within the lipid bilayer
They prevent the membrane from becoming too rigid. This dynamic adjustment of fluidity ensures that the membrane functions optimally under varying environmental conditions.
Present in the cell membrane, they help regulate the fluidity and stability of the membrane.
Glycoproteins + Glycolipids
Proteins and lipids with attached carbohydrate chains. They play the roles in cell recognition, adhesion, and signaling.
Proteins

These are highly selective and facilitate the transport ions, nutrients, and other needed substances. Contains integral and peripheral proteins. These integral proteins traverse the lipid bilayer, they can have channels or transporters that allow specific molecules to pass through the membrane.

Transport Proteins

These transport proteins that often require energy, in the case of active transport, or they will rely on the concentration gradients, this in the case of passive transport, to help move substances.

Receptor Proteins

Represents the membrane as a dynamic and constantly changing structure, with lipids and proteins able to move within the bilayer, this further influences permeability.

Proteins in the cell membrane act as receptors for specific molecules, this allows the cell to detect and respond to environmental signals.

Lipid Bilayer
This is the basic structure of the cell membrane.
These lipids have hydrophobic tails (water repelling) and hydrophilic heads (water loving). These create a barrier to the passage of water-soluble substances, as they repelled by the hydrophobic core of the membrane.

The hydrophobic tails face towards the interior of the bilayer.

The hydrophilic heads face the aqueous environment both in and outside the cell.

Composed primarily of phospholipids.
Selectively Permeable
Regulating Homeostasis

Osmoregulation: defined as the control of water balance; nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and maintaining an electrochemical gradient across the membrane

Cells must control the passage of ions and molecules to maintain the proper concentration of substances inside and out.

Achieves through combination of factors including the bilayer and various other proteins embedded within the membrane.
Allows positive, and necessary substances to pass through while also preventing unnecessary substances from entering.

Ionic Bonds

Ionic bonds are formed between two or more atoms by the transfer of one or more electrons between atoms. Electron transfer produces negative ions called anions and positive ions called cations.

Hydrogen Bond

Interaction involving a hydrogen atom located between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electron; such a bond is weaker than an ionic bond or covalent bond but stronger than van der Waals forces.

covalent bonds

Polar Covalent bond
A bond where electrons are unequally shared by the atoms and spend more time close to one atom than the other.

Because of the unequal distribution of electrons between the atoms of different elements, slightly positive and slightly negative charges develop in different parts of the molecule

Non Polar Covalent Bond
A bond between two atoms of the same element, or between atoms of different elements that share electrons more or less equally.

Organelles in Common
Cell Membrane

Function: Manages the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell. They keep toxic substances out of the cell. They contain receptors and channels that allow specific molecules (ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products), mediate cellular and extracellular activities passing between organelles. Lastly, they maintain cell mobility, secretions, and absorptions of substances.

Structure: The main part of the structureis the phospholipid bilayer which forms a stable barrier between 2 compartments. Inside the plasma membrane, these compartments are the in and outside of the cell.

Ribosomes

Function: The ribosome is the sole site for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA sequence and translate the genetic code into an amino acids string which lead to grow into long chains that fold to form proteins. Attaches itself to Rough ER when available (Only in Euk)

Structure: Each ribosome consists of 2 separate RNA-protein complexes (aka small and large subunits). The ribosomes themselves are made up of RNA and proteins.

Function: Gives motility organelle that enables movement and chemotaxis. They spin around and propel the cells very quickly. They act as little fins or tails to help the cell move.

Pili

Function: They initiate contacts between mating pairs. They also facilitate the transfer of genetic material and they draw mating cells into close contact which increased the fertility of the union. They also have a role in the movement process but are most commonly involved with the adherence to surfaces which facilitates infection and is the key to virulence characteristic.

Structure: Resembles hair attached to the outside of the prokaryote (attached to cell wall). It's typically associated with bacterial adhesion related to bacterial colonization and infection. They are primarily composed of oligomeric pili proteins, which arrange helically to form a cylinder. When new pili protein molecules are made, they insert into the base of the pilius.

Cell Wall

Function: While the cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells, it also provides a tensile like strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress and other enemies that reveal as a threat to the cell. It also allows the cell to develop turgor pressure which is the pressure of the cell contents against the wall. It's basically a wall meant to protect all the components of the prokaryotic cell.

Structure: The cell wall is one of the outermost layers of the cell. It's composed of cellulose microfibrils and cross linking glycans which are embedded in a highly cross-linked matric of pectin polysaccharides.

Capsule

DNA Replication Mechanism

Conservative
2 parental strands reassociate after acting as templates for new strands, this restores the original parental double helix

This visualization is a lot easier because it can only have 2 options: 2 pure dna strands. 3 pure light blue DNA and 1 pure dark blue DNA

Dispersive
each strand both daughter molecules contains a mixture of old and newly synthesized

A way to visualize the dispersed model is the result in the first replication being unpredictive and messy strands. very messy strands, unpredictable

Semi-Conservative
2 strands of the parental molecule separate and each functions as a template for synthesis of a new complementary strand

A way to visualize in 1 pure strand separates and in the first replication you will end up with 2 strands of DNA equally dispersed into it. the 2nd replication could result in 2 equally split DNA strands together and 2 pure strands of DNA. 1 light blue and 1 dark blue strand combined and a pure light blue strand of DNA
