Chapter 5: Membrane Transport and Cell Signaling Amphiphatic- refers to something that has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions the cell membrane proteins Fluidity Low Temperatures-less fluid because the phospholipids pack together tightly Factors that Affect Fluidity: Amount of phospholipids- phospholipids have kinks in the tails due to their hydrogen bonds which make them harder to pack Cholesterol- inhibits the packing of the phospholipid tails at LOW TEMPERATURE. AT HIGH TEMPERATURE, it solidifies the membrane because it inhibits the movement of tails Proteins in the Membrane Intergal-penetrate the membrane, hydrophobic exterior, hydrophilic interior Peripheral-lie on either side of the membrane Major Protein Functions: -Transport-allows materials to diffuse

Chapter 10 Photosynthesis The production of organic fuel from energy Carbon dioxide + water + energy organic compounds + oxygen Is a redox reaction Water is split and electrons transferred with H+ from H2O to CO2, reducing it to sugar Autotrophs: ?producers? able to produce their own organic compounds Produce their own organic molecules from CO2 and other inorganic raw materials obtained from the environment Heterotrophs: ?consumers? who must obtain organic compounds from other organisms or substances Where does photosynthesis occur? Chloroplasts in the leaves of plants Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf O2 exits and CO2 enters the leaf through microscopic pores called stomata in the leaf

Chapter 11 ? Cell Communication Overview: The Cellular Internet The trillions of cells in a multicellular organism must communicate with each other to coordinate their activities. There are networks of communication between cells ? can be very complicated There are Universal Mechanisms of cellular regulation (and communication) ? this is further evidence that all life is related (evolutionarily). 11.1 External Signals are converted to responses within the cell What do the cells say to each other? Evolution of Cell Signaling: One thing they talk about is sex/reproduction. Example: Yeast cells: (figure 11.2) There are two genders or mating types ? ?a? and ?alpha? Type ?a? cells secrete ?a? factor which can bind on specific receptors on the ?alpha? cell

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 11 Cell Communication Students will encounter the topic of cell signaling repeatedly in this course and throughout their studies of biology. Therefore, the more confident they are regarding the basic principles, the more successful they are liable to be when encountering the topic. This chapter includes more higher-skill-level questions and makes connections to the principle of evolution as well as to other chapters of the text. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) Using the yeast signal transduction pathways, both types of mating cells release the mating factors. These factors bind to specific receptors on the correct cells, A) which induce changes in the cells that lead to cell fusion.

Lecture Outline for Campbell/Reece Biology, 7th Edition, ? Pearson Education, Inc. 11-1 Chapter 11 Cell Communication Lecture Outline Overview: The Cellular Internet ? Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms. ? Cells must communicate to coordinate their activities. ? Communication between cells is also important for many unicellular organisms. ? Biologists have discovered universal mechanisms of cellular regulation involving the same small set of cell-signaling mechanisms. ? The ubiquity of these mechanisms provides additional evidence for the evolutionary relatedness of all life. ? Cells most often communicate by chemical signals, although signals may take other forms.

Ch 50. Sensory and Motor Mechanisms 50.1 ? sensory receptors transduce stimuli energy and transmit signals to the central nervous system by changing membrane potential. Reflex= simplest response circuit Star nosed mole that tactile ( touch) sensors on nose. Sensory Pathways have 4 functions: Sensory reception, transduction, transmission, perception Sensory reception- detection of a stimulus by sensory cells. Specialized nerurons or epithelial cells Exitst signally or in organs like eyes and ears Sensory receptor- descres a sensory cell or organ and he subcellular structure that interacts directly with simuli Detect stimuli OUTside of body like heat, light, and pressure, and chemicals. Inside body include body position, blood pressure, etc

Local/paracrine signaling: In paracrine signaling a signaling cells releases messenger molecules into the extracellular fluid and these local regulators influence nearby cells. Long distance signaling: Hormones are chemical signals that travel to more distant cells. Long distance signaling is going to be seen the most in the nervous system. There are 3 stages of cell signaling... 1. Reception 2. Transmission 3. Response RECEPTION There are three basic types of membrane receptors:
