II. Cell Membrane
A. Structure
1. Molecular Make-up & Function
Figure 3.3
B. Specializations - Junctions
1. Tight = Fusing of neighboring cell membranes together
Figure 3.5a
2. Desmosome = Fibers connecting cell membranes together
Figure 3.5b
3. Gap = Tubular connections of neighboring cells
Figure 3.5c
C. Specializations - Extensions
1. Microvilli = short non-moving membrane folding to
increase cell’s overall surface area
2. Cilia = long, moving internal cellular extensions to
move something across the cell surface
3. Flagella = move the entire cell
D. Function
1. Generalized
Figure 3.4
2. Passive Transport
a. Requirements = Favorable Concentration Gradient,
Small Molecules, Requires No Energy Expenditure,
and Relatively Non-polar Molecules
b. Mechanisms = Simple Diffusion, Facilitated
Diffusion, and Osmosis
Figure 3.7
Osmosis  movement of a solvent (usually H2O)
across a semi-permeable membrane

Osmotic conditions

3. Active Transport
a. Requirements = Uses Energy, Protein Channel,
Large Molecules, and Goes against the
Concentration Gradient
b. Mechanisms = Molecular, Bulk (Endocytosis
vs. Exocytosis), or Cell-Mediated

III. Cytoplasmic Components
A. Cytosol or Cytoplasm
Consistency  like thickening Jell-O or a colloid
suspension
Make-up  92% water, 7% protein, gases, salts,
lipids, and the like dissolved in the water
1. Consistency
2. Molecular Make-up
B. Organelles
1. Membrane Bound
a. Mitochondria = Energy Transformer
Figure 3.17
b. Endomembrane System = rER, sER, and Golgi
c. House cleaners = Lysosome or Peroxisome
d. Nucleus = the keeper of the plans
Envelope, nucleolus,
and pores
Figure 3.29
The plans Euchromatin vs. Heterochromatin
e. Vacuoles = Cell storage sites
Food (sugars, lipids, etc.) or Contractile (water
storage)
2. Non-membrane Bound
a. Cytoskeleton
b. Centrioles
c. Free Ribosomes
IV. Cell Cycle
A. Definition
B. Stages
The Cell Cycle
Figure 3.31
C. Time Allotment & Control
External controls  outside influence
What could be a signal?
Cell contact can inhibit cellular growth.
Internal controls == internal clock
Cyclin
Cdk
MPF
D. Cancer
Cancer == benign, malignant, or metastatic
V. Mitosis
A. Definition
B. Phases & Events
Mitosis  interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase
Interphase = time between mitotic divisions and does G1, S, and
G2 of cell cycle
Prophase = condense chromosomes, dismantle the nuclear
membrane, and start to build spindle from centrioles
Metaphase = attach chromatids to spindle via centromere and
line up chromatids across equator
Anaphase = move chromatids toward poles via spindles
Telophase = reverse steps of Prophase
