Today’s Topics • Properties of all cells • Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes • Functions of Major Cellular Organelles – Information • Nucleus, Ribosomes – Synthesis&Transport • ER, Golgi, Vesicles – Energy Conversion • Mitochondria, Chloroplasts – Recycling • Lysosome, Peroxisome – Structure and Movement • Cytoskeleton and Motor Proteins • Cell Walls 9/16/11 1 www.denniskunkel.com
Bacterial (Prokaryotic) Cell Common features of all cells • Plasma Membrane – defines inside from outside Ribosomes!
Plasma membrane! • Cytosol Bacterial Cell wall! – Semifluid “inside” of the cell chromosome!
0.5 !m! • DNA “chromosomes” Flagella! - Genetic material – hereditary instructions No internal • Ribosomes membranes – “factories” to synthesize proteins 3 4

Movement of Vesicles along Microtubules
Vesicle ATP Receptor for motor protein
Motor protein Microtubule (ATP powered) of cytoskeleton (a) Motor proteins that attach to receptors on organelles can “walk” the organelles along microtubules or, in some cases, microfilaments. Microtubule Vesicles 0.25 !m
What evidence do we have that they actually move?
(b) Vesicles containing neurotransmitters migrate to the tips of nerve cell axons via the mechanism in (a). In this SEM of a squid giant axon, two vesicles can be seen moving along a microtubule. (A separate part of the Figure 6.21 A, B experiment provided the evidence that they were in fact moving.) 23 24
4 Motor MAPs transport vesicles Three kinds of Movement
• Filament anchored: motor “walks” along filament (transport vesicles) Dynein inbound • Motor anchored: filament moves (muscles)
• Both anchored: bending (cilia and flagella) outbound MTOC kinesin
