Cellular Structure and Functions

Autotrophs are capable of synthesizing organic compounds from inorganic materials, vital for energy and growth. The plasma membrane, a lipid bilayer, has hydrophobic tails inward and hydrophilic heads outward, essential for cellular function.

Cellular Structure and Functions

Topic flotante

Prokaryotes have a cell wall for extra protection, which is especially important for them since their DNA is not in a nucleus for protection.

All of their genetic material is organized into chromosomes

The Four kinds of Eukarya

Autotrophs are organisms that can make nutritional organic substances from inorganic molecules

There are two different types of prokaryotes, bacteria and archaea and they have a lot of similarities and differences. the main being that bacteria has a presence of peptidoglycan in the cell wall

Extremophiles are prokaryotes that can survive in extreme environments, there are a couple different types of extremophiles, depending on what that cell thrives in, but they are always extreme.

Fimbriae and pili are the prokaryotic sex parts of the cell, they connect to another cell and have prokaryotic sex, leading to the creation of more cells.

The flagella of a prokaryote is basically a tail that helps it move around, it is very useful for movement of the entire bacteria

A plasma membrane is basically a lipid bilayer where two rows of lipids come together where the hydrophobic tails are inside with each other and the hydrophilic heads are outside facing the cytoplasm and polar outside.

The DNA for prokaryotes is stored in a nucleoid instead of a nucleus. It is not as protected since there no nucleus. Which goes in part with how prokaryotes were the first cell to exist, eukaryotes were an evolution where it learned to protect its chromosomes and DNA

Obligatory means that the bacteria needs something to survive, if it is a facultative then it can survive with or without a certain thing. Anaerobe means that it has to do with oxygens, either needing it or not.

These are different inorganic molecules to show as examples

Amphipathic

Phospholipids form closed bilayers in water

Phospholipids

Phospholipids: made up of a glycerol linked to 2 fatty acids (not 3) - It contains a phosphate group on the head - The phosphate group is polar

Phospholipid Tail
Hydrophobic

Hates water : (

Phospholipid Head
Hydrophilic

Hearts water <3

Steroids

Steroids are very different from fats in the way that they contain 4 fused rings

HDL
High density lipoprotein or "good cholesterol"
Found in animal and a common components of membranes
LDL
Low density lipoprotein or "bad cholesterol"
Also a precursor of other steroids including sex hormones

Fats

Fats: made up of a glycerol + 3 fatty acids -Main function: energy storage -Ester linkages are what connect each fatty acid to an OH in glycerol

Fatty Acids
Unsaturated

Unsaturated fats come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. These fats have one or more double covalent bonds that are found within the carbon chain. These molecules do NOT have hydrogen atoms at every position along the carbon chain.

Monounsaturated Fats: one double bond

Polyunsaturated Fats: more than one double bond

Unsaturated Fatty Acids Isomers

Trans Isomers ( opposite side) AKA Transfats: the presence of a double bond with hydrogens on opposite sides.

Cis Isomers (same side): the presence of a double bond in cis causes the molecule to have a kink compared to the trans fatty acid.

Saturated

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. There are no double covalent bonds between carbons because these molecules are saturated with hydrogen atoms at every position. They are also associated with an increase in cardiovascular disease.

Flagella helps with movement by...

Water (H2O)

Water is made from a covalent bond of 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. Oxygen is much more electronegative than hydrogen, thus creating a strong dipole.

This means that water can hydrogen bond and is one of the most polar molecules. This means that water has a ton of awesome properties.
Hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions

Water-loving molecules exclude hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, which means that hydrophobic molecules stick together when in an aqueous environment. Amphiphilic molecules take advantage of the environment to surround hydrophobic molecules yet still flow with the surrounding water.

Hydrolysis/dehydration

Water is extremely vital when it comes to forming and breaking ester bonds. These are seen in Lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and basically everything.

Strong intermolecular bonds

Water has strong intermolecular bonds as a result of bring so polar. This allows for a high heat of vaporization and high specific heat. In turn, this helps to regulate temperatures so biology can exist the way it does.

Universal Solvent

Water is the universal solvent because of its strong polarity and its relatively low molecular weight. Liquid water is everywhere.

Cellular Structure and Functions

Serve as fuel and building material

Chemical Bonds

Intermolecular Bonds
Polar molecules

Ion-dipole (4)

The strongest type of intermolecular bond. Seen commonly in dissolved solutions, such as salt water. Thus, salt water is more difficult to freeze and boil. This bond is between a fully charged ion and a partially charged side of a molecule. For instance, the negative Cl ion with the positive H´s in salt water.

Seen in the tiertiary structure of protiens.

Dipole-dipole (2)

Covalently bonded molecules that are polar have a dipole movement. The partially negative side of one molecule will bond with the partially positive side of another molecule. Stronger than london dispersion, but weaker than Ion-dipole.

Hydrogen bond (3)

A type of dipole-dipole where a hydrogen is covalently bonded to a N, O, or F. This hydrogen is then intermolecularly bonded to any polar N, O, or F element of another molecule

Hydrogen bonds are incredibly important. They hold together proteins, DNA, enable water to be water, create functional groups, and regulate temperatures. They are a stronger form of dipole-dipole

London Dispersion (1)

Every molecule has a set number of electrons. These electrons move randomly in an electron cloud. An instantaneous dipole movement occurs when electrons gather on one side of the molecule or atom. These instant dipole movements allow for instantaneous bonds. This bond is ALWAYS present but is the weakest out of the bonds listed. Most prominent between nonpolar molecules. Increases with surface area and amount of electrons in a molecule.

Nonpolar
Intramolecular
Ionic

Between two fully charged ions. Giving and receiving electrons. Stronger as the charges are full.

Covalent

Between two atoms. Electrons are shared bwteen atoms. Atoms with a higher electronegativity will pull electrons more therefore creating a polar molecule. When a molecule shares electrons equally, it is known as a nonpolar molecule.

Covalent bonds are seen in biology as glycosidic, peptide, ester, phosphodiester, disulfide bridge bonds.

PROTEIN AND DNA
DNA STRUCTURE

DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder, a shape known as a double helix.

DNA FUNCTION

DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.

DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins

DNA cannot function without protein and vise Versa

transmit signals to coordinate biological processes between different cells, tissues, and organs

assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic information stored in DNA.

proteins provide structure and support for cells.

Immunological

DNA also contribute to the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory diseases and cancer.

Genetics

chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes.

These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes.

DNA holds genetic information that determines an organisms traits

Structural

dependent on the sugar phosphate backbone and the bases.

Deoxyribonucleicacid

DNA REAL TERM

forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA.

Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) or thymine (T).

Adenine--->thymine

Cytosine--->Guanine

Sugar Phosphate Backbone

joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence

Each Sugar attaches to a base

part of DNA that stores information

each base contains nitrogen

Each base is held together through hydrogen bonds

PROTEIN STRUCTURE

The sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.

The primary structure of protein forms an amino acid chain.

The amino acids are stabilized by Hydrogen bonds

PROTEIN FUNCTION

cell shape and inner organization

akin to a skeleton, and they compose structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins and rna

product manufacture and waste cleanup

breaks down proteins, the building blocks and mini-machines that make up many cell parts.

receive signals from outside the cell and mobilize intracellular response

Signals most often move through the cell by passing from protein to protein, each protein modifying the next in some way

signaling pathway

These hydrogen bonds create alpha helix and beta pleated sheets for the secondary structure

amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain

Hydrogen bonds between sections of the protein chain are responsible for the secondary structure of the protein

The tertiary structure of a protein refers to the overall three-dimensional arrangement of its polypeptide chain in space.

Three dimensional arrangement of its polypeptide chain

The quaternary structure of a protein is the association of several protein chains or subunits into a closely packed arrangement.
