Chapter 5 The Working CellIntroduction
Some organisms use energy-converting reactions to produce light in a process called bioluminescence.
– Many marine invertebrates and fishes use bioluminescence to hide themselves from predators.
– Scientists estimate that 90% of deep-sea marine life produces bioluminescence.
The light is produced from chemical reactions that convert chemical energy into visible light.

Introduction
Bioluminescence is an example of the multitude of energy conversions that a cell can perform.
Many of a cell’s reactions
– take place in organelles and
– use enzymes embedded in the membranes of these organelles.
This chapter addresses how working cells use membranes, energy, and enzymes.

5.1 Membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins with many functions
Membranes are composed of
– a bilayer of phospholipids with
– embedded and attached proteins,
– in a structure biologists call a fluid mosaic.

5.1 Membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins with many functions
Many phospholipids are made from unsaturated fatty acids that have kinks in their tails.
These kinks prevent phospholipids from packing tightly together, keeping them in liquid form.
In animal cell membranes, cholesterol helps
– stabilize membranes at warmer temperatures and
– keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures.

5.1 Membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins with many functions
Membrane proteins perform many functions.
1. Some proteins help maintain cell shape and coordinate changes inside and outside the cell through their attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix.
2. Some proteins function as receptors for chemical messengers from other cells.
3. Some membrane proteins function as enzymes.

5.1 Membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins with many functions
4. Some membrane glycoproteins are involved in cell-cell recognition.
5. Membrane proteins may participate in the intercellular junctions that attach adjacent cells to each other.
6. Membranes may exhibit selective permeability, allowing some substances to cross more easily than others.

5.2 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Membranes form spontaneously, a critical step in the origin of life
Phospholipids, the key ingredient of biological membranes, spontaneously self-assemble into simple membranes.
The formation of membrane-enclosed collections of molecules was a critical step in the evolution of the first cells.

5.3 Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane with no energy investment
Diffusion is the tendency of particles to spread out evenly in an available space.
– Particles move from an area of more concentrated particles to an area where they are less concentrated.
– This means that particles diffuse down their concentration gradient.
– Eventually, the particles reach equilibrium where the concentration of particles is the same throughout.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.3 Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane with no energy investment
Diffusion across a cell membrane does not require energy, so it is called passive transport.
The concentration gradient itself represents potential energy for diffusion.

5.4 Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane
One of the most important substances that crosses membranes is water.
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.

Animation: Osmosis
5.4 Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane
If a membrane permeable to water but not a solute separates two solutions with different concentrations of solute,
– water will cross the membrane,
– moving down its own concentration gradient,
– until the solute concentration on both sides is equal.

5.5 Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms
Tonicity is a term that describes the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water.
Tonicity mostly depends on the concentration of a solute on both sides of the membrane.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.5 Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms
How will animal cells be affected when placed into solutions of various tonicities? When an animal cell is placed into
– an isotonic solution, the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of a membrane, and the cell volume will not change,
– a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower outside the cell, water molecules move into the cell, and the cell will expand and may burst, or
– a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration is higher outside the cell, water molecules move out of the cell, and the cell will shrink.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.5 Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms
For an animal cell to survive in a hypotonic or hypertonic environment, it must engage in osmoregulation, the control of water balance.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

5.5 Water balance between cells and their surroundings is crucial to organisms
The cell walls of plant cells, prokaryotes, and fungi make water balance issues somewhat different.
– The cell wall of a plant cell exerts pressure that prevents the cell from taking in too much water and bursting when placed in a hypotonic environment.
– But in a hypertonic environment, plant and animal cells both shrivel.

5.6 Transport proteins can facilitate diffusion across membranes
Hydrophobic substances easily diffuse across a cell membrane.
However, polar or charged substances do not easily cross cell membranes and, instead, move across membranes with the help of specific transport proteins in a process called facilitated diffusion, which
– does not require energy and
– relies on the concentration gradient.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.6 Transport proteins can facilitate diffusion across membranes
Some proteins function by becoming a hydrophilic tunnel for passage of ions or other molecules.
Other proteins bind their passenger, change shape, and release their passenger on the other side.
In both of these situations, the protein is specific for the substrate, which can be sugars, amino acids, ions, and even water.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.6 Transport proteins can facilitate diffusion across membranes
Because water is polar, its diffusion through a membrane’s hydrophobic interior is relatively slow.
The very rapid diffusion of water into and out of certain cells is made possible by a protein channel called an aquaporin.

5.7 SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY: Research on another membrane protein led to the discovery of aquaporins
Dr. Peter Agre received the 2003 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his discovery of aquaporins.
His research on the Rh protein used in blood typing led to this discovery.

5.8 Cells expend energy in the active transport of a solute
In active transport, a cell
– must expend energy to
– move a solute against its concentration gradient.

5.9 Exocytosis and endocytosis transport large molecules across membranes
A cell uses two mechanisms to move large molecules across membranes.
– Exocytosis is used to export bulky molecules, such as proteins or polysaccharides.
– Endocytosis is used to import substances useful to the livelihood of the cell.
In both cases, material to be transported is packaged within a vesicle that fuses with the membrane.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.9 Exocytosis and endocytosis transport large molecules across membranes
There are three kinds of endocytosis.
1. Phagocytosis is the engulfment of a particle by wrapping cell membrane around it, forming a vacuole.
2. Pinocytosis is the same thing except that fluids are taken into small vesicles.
3. Receptor-mediated endocytosis uses receptors in a receptor-coated pit to interact with a specific protein, initiating the formation of a vesicle.

5.10 Cells transform energy as they perform work
Cells are small units, a chemical factory, housing thousands of chemical reactions.
Cells use these chemical reactions for
– cell maintenance,
– manufacture of cellular parts, and
– cell replication.

5.10 Cells transform energy as they perform work
Energy is the capacity to cause change or to perform work.
There are two kinds of energy.
1. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
2. Potential energy is energy that matter possesses as a result of its location or structure.

5.10 Cells transform energy as they perform work
Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter.
Scientists use the word
– system for the matter under study and
– surroundings for the rest of the universe.

5.10 Cells transform energy as they perform work
Two laws govern energy transformations in organisms. According to the
– first law of thermodynamics, energy in the universe is constant, and
– second law of thermodynamics, energy conversions increase the disorder of the universe.
Entropy is the measure of disorder, or randomness.

5.10 Cells transform energy as they perform work
Cells use oxygen in reactions that release energy from fuel molecules.
In cellular respiration, the chemical energy stored in organic molecules is converted to a form that the cell can use to perform work.

5.11 Chemical reactions either release or store energy
Chemical reactions either
– release energy (exergonic reactions) or
– require an input of energy and store energy (endergonic reactions).

5.11 Chemical reactions either release or store energy
Exergonic reactions release energy.
– These reactions release the energy in covalent bonds of the reactants.
– Burning wood releases the energy in glucose as heat and light.
– Cellular respiration
– involves many steps,
– releases energy slowly, and
– uses some of the released energy to produce ATP.

5.11 Chemical reactions either release or store energy
A living organism carries out thousands of endergonic and exergonic chemical reactions.
The total of an organism’s chemical reactions is called metabolism.
A metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions that either
– builds a complex molecule or
– breaks down a complex molecule into simpler compounds.

5.11 Chemical reactions either release or store energy
Energy coupling uses the
– energy released from exergonic reactions to drive

ATP, adenosine triphosphate, powers nearly all forms of cellular work.
ATP consists of
– the nitrogenous base adenine,
– the five-carbon sugar ribose, and
– three phosphate groups.

HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION

5.13 Enzymes speed up the cell’s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers
Although biological molecules possess much potential energy, it is not released spontaneously.
– An energy barrier must be overcome before a chemical reaction can begin.
– This energy is called the activation energy (EA).
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.13 Enzymes speed up the cell’s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers
We can think of EA
– as the amount of energy needed for a reactant molecule to move “uphill” to a higher energy but an unstable state
– so that the “downhill” part of the reaction can begin.
One way to speed up a reaction is to add heat,
– which agitates atoms so that bonds break more easily and reactions can proceed but
– could kill a cell.

Enzymes
– function as biological catalysts by lowering the EA
needed for a reaction to begin,
– increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction, and
– are usually proteins, although some RNA molecules can function as enzymes.

Animation: How Enzymes Work
5.14 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction
An enzyme
– is very selective in the reaction it catalyzes and
– has a shape that determines the enzyme’s specificity.
The specific reactant that an enzyme acts on is called the enzyme’s substrate.
A substrate fits into a region of the enzyme called the active site.
Enzymes are specific because their active site fits only specific substrate molecules.

5.14 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction
For every enzyme, there are optimal conditions under which it is most effective.
Temperature affects molecular motion.
– An enzyme’s optimal temperature produces the highest rate of contact between the reactants and the enzyme’s active site.
– Most human enzymes work best at 35–40ºC.
The optimal pH for most enzymes is near neutrality.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.14 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction
Many enzymes require nonprotein helpers called cofactors, which
– bind to the active site and
– function in catalysis.
Some cofactors are inorganic, such as zinc, iron, or copper.
If a cofactor is an organic molecule, such as most vitamins, it is called a coenzyme.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
5.15 Enzyme inhibitors can regulate enzyme activity in a cell
A chemical that interferes with an enzyme’s activity is called an inhibitor.
Competitive inhibitors
– block substrates from entering the active site and
– reduce an enzyme’s productivity.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
16
5.15 Enzyme inhibitors can regulate enzyme activity in a cell
Noncompetitive inhibitors
– bind to the enzyme somewhere other than the active site,
– change the shape of the active site, and
– prevent the substrate from binding.

Many beneficial drugs act as enzyme inhibitors, including
– Ibuprofen, inhibiting the production of prostaglandins,
– some blood pressure medicines,
– some antidepressants,
– many antibiotics, and
– protease inhibitors used to fight HIV.
Enzyme inhibitors have also been developed as pesticides and deadly poisons for chemical warfare.
