Cell Physiology
Selective Permeability
Selective permeability means that the cell membrane has some control over what can cross it, so that only certain molecules either enter or leave the cell. Molecules can cross the plasma membrane in three main ways which are
passive transport active transport diffusion
Passive Transport
Passive transport is the way that small molecules can cross the membrane without any additional energy being expended. These molecules could be water molecules, or they could be molecules other than water (like ions, oxygen gas, and monomers). There are three main ways that molecules can move by passive transport:
Simple Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
Simple Diffusion
Molecules (other than water) will move by diffusion as long as there is a concentration gradient. Do you understand what a concentration gradient is? It exists when a particular type of molecule (like food coloring dye molecules) is not spread out in an even concentration, but exists in a higher concentration at some point.
Facilitated Diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special transport proteins.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through selectively permeable membrane like plasma membrane
Active Transport
Active transport is the movement of a substance against its concentration gradient (from low to high concentration). The process uses chemical energy, such as from adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Solute Pumping
Solute pumping allows a molecule that cannot regularly cross the lipid bilayer to enter the cell by way of a protein channel, however solute pumping requires ATP to change the shape of the protein channel to allow the molecule to pass through, therefore it is a form of active transport.
Exocytosis
Exocytosis is the process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane intracellular vesicle (membrane bounded sphere) moves to the plasma membrane and subsequent fusion of the vesicular membrane and plasma membrane ensues.
Endocytosis
Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them The different types of endocytosis
pinocytosis Phagocytosis Receptor mediated endocytosis
Pinocytosis
In the process of pinocytosis the plasma membrane froms an invagination. What ever substance is found within the area of invagination is brought into the cell. In general this material will be dissolved in water and thus this process is also refered to as "cellular drinking" to indicate that liquids and material dissolved in liquids are ingested by the cell.
Phagocytosis
In the process of phagocytosis the cell changes shape by sending out projections which are called pseudpodia (false feet). The phagocytic cell such as a macrophage may be attracted to a particle like a bacteria or virus by chemical attractant.
Hypertonic
Is a solution that has more solutes than in the cell If red blood cell are exposed to hipertonic solution the cell will begin to shrink, or crenate Because water is in higher conncentration inside the cell than outside, so it follow concentration gradient and leaves the cell
Hypotonic
Is a solution that has fewer solutes than the cell does Cell placed in hypotonic solution plump up rapidly as water rushes into them
Isotonic
Is the solution that has same solute and water concentration. Isotonic solution cause no visible changes in cells When this solution infused into the bloodstream, red blood cell retain their normal size
If a cell wants to make a duplicate of itself, it first must copy its DNA (part of a chromosome). The copies then must be separated & sorted into two sides of the cell. The cell then splits in two. Part of each parent is carried to the two new cells. Results in cells such as internal organs, skin, bones, blood, etc.
As in mitosis, if a cell wants to make a duplicate of itself, it first must copy its DNA (part of a chromosome). Results in reproductive cells (sperm, eggs, etc). Part of each parent is carried to the four new cells. Meiosis has evolved to solve a problem. The problem is this: some organisms have sex with other organisms that is, they combine their genes together (creating genetic diversity). Why would this be a problem?
Each resulting cell still has chromosomes from mom & dad

Mitosis Interphase
Animal cell Plant cell
The DNA recoils, and the chromosomes condense; the nuclear membrane disappears, and the mitotic spindles begin to form.

Cytokinesis
Beginning of cytokinesis in a plant:
The actual splitting of the daughter cells into two separate cells is called cytokinesis and occurs differently in both plant and animal Cells.

Interphase
Meiosis is preceded by interphase. The chromosomes have not yet condensed.
http://morgan.rutgers.edu/MorganWebFrames/Level1/Page7/meiosis1.html
Interphase
The chromosomes have replicated, and the chromatin begins to condense.
http://morgan.rutgers.edu/MorganWebFrames/Level1/Page7/meiosis1.html
Prophase I
The chromosomes are completely condensed. In meiosis (unlike mitosis), the homologous chromosomes pair with one another
http://morgan.rutgers.edu/MorganWebFrames/Level1/Page7/meiosis1.html
Metaphase I
The nuclear membrane dissolves and the homologous chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers. They are preparing to go to opposite poles.

Anaphase I
The chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell.

Metaphase II

Replication Nucleus
Uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) of DNA. Types of RNA Messenger (mRNA) - Takes message from DNA in nucleus to ribosomes in cytoplasm. Transfer (tRNA) - Transfers amino acids to ribosomes. Ribosomal (rRNA) - Help make up ribosomes.
Transcription - Making a copy of the DNA code TRANSCRIPTION (DNA RNA) (remove interons) takes place in nucleus During transcription, an mRNA molecule is formed with a sequence of bases complementary to a portion of one DNA strand. Newly formed mRNA molecule, primary mRNA transcript, is modified before it leaves the eukaryotic nucleus.

TRANSLATION (RNA proteins) takes place on ribosomes in cytoplasm Translation - Translating the base pair codes into an amino acid sequence mRNA the copy of the code tRNA carries the amino acid to the ribosome as coded for in the mRNA codons code for specific amino acids.
