The plasma membrane is a flexible yet sturdy lipid bilayer that surrounds the cytoplasm of cells. It is described by the fluid mosaic model, where lipids form a fluid sea containing a mosaic of embedded and floating proteins. The basic structure is a phospholipid bilayer containing cholesterol, glycolipids, and integral and peripheral proteins. Transport across the membrane includes passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion down gradients, as well as active transport against gradients using protein carriers and ATP.
This document summarizes several gastrointestinal hormones:
- Gastrin is produced by the pyloric mucosa and stimulates secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) by the stomach.
- Cholecystokinin is formed in the small intestine and stimulates pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice rich in bicarbonate as well as bile and intestinal juices.
- Secretin is a peptide hormone secreted by the duodenum that stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice.
The document discusses transport across cell membranes. It begins by describing the structure and function of cell membranes, including their semipermeable nature. It then explains various transport mechanisms like diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis that allow materials to move across membranes. Specific examples are given of how these transport mechanisms function in cells, lungs, and other organisms and systems to maintain homeostasis.
A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with the membrane of a cell or an organelle.
More than half of all proteins interact with membranes.
The document summarizes key aspects of the plasma membrane structure and models. It discusses the plasma membrane's role in separating the cell's cytoplasm from the external environment and controlling molecule movement. The plasma membrane is composed primarily of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates arranged in a fluid mosaic structure according to the fluid mosaic model. This model proposes the plasma membrane has a fluid-like consistency with protein molecules dotted mosaic-style throughout the lipid bilayer.
The document discusses the cell cycle, including its key phases and control mechanisms. It begins with an overview of the cell cycle phases: interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis). It then covers intracellular control, noting positive roles of cyclins and CDKs, and negative roles of Rb and p53 tumor suppressors. Finally, it discusses extracellular control by mitogens, growth factors, and survival factors that regulate cell division, growth, and apoptosis.
Cell biology studies the structure and function of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life and contains organelles that allow it to carry out essential functions like metabolism, energy production, waste removal, response to stimuli, and reproduction. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells which lack organelles and eukaryotic cells which contain organelles within membranes. Organisms are classified into five kingdoms - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia - based on characteristics like cell structure, nutrition, and complexity. The cytosol is the gel-like fluid found inside cells that allows for transport and chemical reactions and contains dissolved molecules, ions, and enzymes.

The cytosol is the gel-like fluid found inside cells that allows for transport and chemical reactions and contains dissolved molecules, ions, and enzymes.
The document discusses the biological membrane and its chemical composition. It notes that the plasma membrane is the outer boundary of cells, consisting of a double layer of lipid molecules with embedded proteins. The major components of membranes are glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. Glycerophospholipids are amphipathic lipids that form the lipid bilayer structure. The fluid mosaic model describes membranes as a fluid structure with lipids and proteins able to move laterally. Membrane proteins can be integral or peripheral, and help with cell functions like transport and signaling. Membrane fluidity is influenced by temperature and lipid composition.
The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four main phases - G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and M phase. In G1, cells grow and prepare for DNA replication. In S phase, DNA replication occurs as the DNA duplicates. In G2, cells continue to grow and prepare for mitosis. M phase consists of mitosis, where duplicated chromosomes separate, and cytokinesis, where the cell cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells each with an identical set of chromosomes. Checkpoint controls ensure conditions are right before progressing between phases.
The document provides an overview of meiosis cell division. It defines meiosis as a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes. Meiosis occurs in two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II, and has four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and may exchange genetic material through crossing over, resulting in genetic variation. This reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. Meiosis II then divides the haploid cells into four haploid daughter cells.
This document discusses cell structure and organization. It describes that cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms. In unicellular organisms a single cell makes up the entire organism, while in multicellular organisms many cells work together. The document then describes key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including that prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles while eukaryotes have organelles like the nucleus. It provides detailed information about the structure and functions of the plasma membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and cytoskeleton. It also discusses transport mechanisms across membranes including active transport,
The cytoskeleton is a network of filaments and microtubules that gives cells their shape and enables cellular movement. It is composed of three main types of protein filaments: intermediate filaments, microtubules, and actin filaments. Intermediate filaments provide strength and structure, microtubules help shape the cell and are involved in cell division and transport, and actin filaments enable cell movement and structures like microvilli. Muscle contraction occurs via the sliding of actin and myosin filaments when the myosin crossbridges attach and pull on the actin filaments.
The document discusses cell theory and the history of cell discovery. It explains that Robert Hooke first observed cells in 1665 using a microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek later discovered single-celled organisms. In the 1830s-1840s, scientists including Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow developed cell theory, which states that all organisms are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and new cells are produced from existing cells. The document also describes key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Types of transport include passive transport which does not require energy and active transport which uses protein pumps and channels to move substances across membranes. There are several types of active transport including bulk transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Endocytosis brings material into the cell through phagocytosis, pinocytosis, or receptor-mediated endocytosis while exocytosis expels material from the cell. Phagocytosis engulfs solid particles, pinocytosis brings in extracellular fluid through membrane invagination, and receptor-mediated endocytosis specifically uptakes substances bound to cell surface receptors. Both endocytosis and exocytosis use vesicle formation and membrane fusion but transport materials in opposite directions with endocytosis importing and exocytosis exporting.
This document provides an overview of cell membranes and transport systems. It begins by defining the cell membrane and outlining its key functions, including maintaining cell integrity, selective permeability, and transport. It then describes the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane's structure, which is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded and peripheral proteins. Various types of membrane proteins and their functions are also discussed. The document focuses on different mechanisms of transport across the membrane, including simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport (primary and secondary), ion channels, and transporter proteins. Specific transport proteins like glucose transporters and ion pumps/channels are highlighted as examples.
Prokaryotic cells have several structures that allow them to move, adhere to surfaces, and protect themselves. These structures include flagella, pili, and a cell envelope. The cell envelope is composed of a cell wall and cell membrane. The cell wall provides structure and protection, and its composition differs between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Internally, prokaryotic cells contain a single loop of DNA, ribosomes, and inclusion bodies that store nutrients.

The document discusses the key components of the cytoskeleton - microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments - and how they work together to maintain cell shape, allow movement of organelles and vesicles, transport materials within the cell, and enable cell movement through polymerization and interaction with motor proteins like myosin and kinesin. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network that forms various structures through accessory proteins and allows rapid changes in cell morphology.
Metabolism refers to the sum of all biochemical reactions in the body's cells that convert food into energy and building blocks for cell growth and maintenance. Foods are broken down into simpler molecules like sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids through digestion, which are then used and assembled into more complex molecules through metabolic pathways. These pathways involve both catabolic reactions that break down molecules to release energy and anabolic reactions that use energy to synthesize larger molecules. Thousands of interconnected metabolic reactions occur continuously in cells to sustain life.

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that extends throughout the cytoplasm. It provides structure and organization to the cell, determining shape and positioning organelles. The three main types of filaments are actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Actin filaments are the thinnest filaments and form structures like filopodia, lamellipodia, and stress fibers. Microtubules are hollow cylinders composed of tubulin dimers and originate from the centrosome. They are involved in processes like cell division, organelle transport, and motility. Cilia and flagella project from the cell surface and use microtubule motors for movement.

This document discusses various histological tools used to study tissues at the microscopic level. It describes light microscopes, which use visible light and can magnify up to 1000x, and electron microscopes, which use electron beams to achieve much higher magnification up to 1 million times. Key histological techniques mentioned include biopsy, tissue processing, staining, immunohistochemistry, and different types of microscopy like fluorescence and polarizing microscopy. The document provides details on the basic components and functioning of different microscope types used in histology.
This document discusses various histological tools used to study tissues at the microscopic level. It describes light microscopes, which use visible light and magnification to examine thin tissue slices stained with histological dyes. Electron microscopes are also covered, using electron beams instead of light for higher resolution imaging of cell structures. Specific techniques covered include fluorescence microscopy using fluorescent dyes, polarizing microscopy examining birefringence, and transmission electron microscopy producing 2D images of cell organelles. The history and development of microscopy from early simple microscopes to modern compound and electron microscopes is summarized.
Microscopes and microscopy are introduced. There are two main types of microscopes - light microscopes, which use optical lenses and light, and electron microscopes, which use a beam of electrons. Light microscopes can use different techniques like brightfield, darkfield, fluorescence, and phase contrast. Electron microscopes have higher resolving power and include transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. Sample preparation and staining are important for microscopy as they allow small and transparent specimens to be visualized.
This document discusses different types of microscopes, including their history, parts, uses, and key features. It describes:
1) The early compound microscope invented by Jansen, capable of 3-9x magnification. Compound microscopes can magnify 40-1000x and have a resolution of 0.25um.
2) Electron microscopes, which use electron beams rather than light and have much higher resolutions of 1-10nm. Scanning electron microscopes provide 3D images while transmission electron microscopes have higher magnification but only show black and white 2D images.
3) Other microscope types like binocular, darkfield, and phase contrast microscopes and their applications in biology research. Pre
Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye. There are three main types of microscopy - light microscopy, which uses visible light; electron microscopy, which uses electrons; and scanning probe microscopy, which uses a physical probe. Light microscopes like brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence microscopes are commonly used to view living and stained specimens. Electron microscopes have much higher resolving power than light microscopes and are able to view much smaller structures. Transmission electron microscopes form images using electrons transmitted through thin specimens while scanning electron microscopes form images from electrons emitted from surfaces.

The document summarizes different types of microscopes used to study microorganisms. It discusses light microscopes like brightfield, darkfield and phase contrast microscopes. It also describes electron microscopes like transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) that use electron beams instead of light. TEM images internal structures by transmitting electrons through thin samples while SEM scans sample surfaces using secondary electrons. Sample preparation methods for both light and electron microscopy are also outlined.
1. The document describes the process of observing microorganisms under a microscope using simple staining. It explains how microscopes work and their main parts.
2. Microbial cells are mostly transparent so staining increases contrast. Stains use positively charged dye molecules that bind to cells' negative charge. Cells are heat fixed to prevent washing away during staining.
3. The procedure involves making a smear, heat fixing, staining with methylene blue, rinsing and examining under the microscope. Cell shapes like cocci and bacilli can be distinguished.
Microscopes allow scientists to see objects that are too small for the naked eye by using lenses that magnify images of specimens up to hundreds of thousands of times their actual size. There are two main types of microscopes - light microscopes, which are inexpensive and easy to use, and electron microscopes, which have much higher magnifying powers and resolving abilities but require more complex equipment. Different microscopes reveal different structural details of cells and organisms depending on their magnification power and resolving abilities.
This document provides an overview of microscopy used in diagnostic microbiology. It discusses the history and types of microscopes including bright field, dark field, phase contrast, fluorescence, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopes. It describes how each microscope works and its applications. Key aspects covered include the use of microscopy to identify microorganisms, detect viruses, and examine cellular structures in detail not visible to the naked eye. Microscopy is an important tool in diagnostic microbiology.
Microscopes are instruments that produce enlarged images of objects too small to be seen by the naked eye. They work by magnifying and providing enhanced resolution, contrast, and magnification compared to human vision. Common types include light microscopes, which use lenses and visible light, and electron microscopes, which use a beam of electrons under vacuum conditions to achieve even higher magnifications over 1,000x. Microscopes are important scientific tools that allow observation of cells, organelles, bacteria, and viruses.

It describes the basic principles and components of each microscope type and their applications. Light microscopes use lenses to magnify specimens and are used widely in biology to study cells. Phase contrast microscopes convert phase differences in light passing through specimens into brightness variations, allowing visualization of transparent structures. Fluorescence microscopes use fluorescent dyes and specific wavelengths of light to enhance contrast and study labeled structures within cells.
Speciation is the evolution of one species into two or more distinct species. There are several modes of speciation, including allopatric speciation which occurs when populations become isolated by geographic barriers. Over time, reproductive isolating mechanisms evolve between isolated populations, preventing interbreeding and leading to the formation of new species. Isolating barriers like time, distance, and geography play important roles in driving speciation by limiting gene flow between diverging populations.
Cellular respiration occurs in four stages to produce ATP from glucose:
1. Glycolysis breaks down glucose in the cytoplasm, producing 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.
2. Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA, producing more NADH.
3. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondria, producing 2 ATP, 2 FADH2, and 6 NADH as carbons are removed and oxidized.
4. Oxidative phosphorylation uses the electron transport chain to produce ATP from NADH and FADH2, yielding up to 34 additional ATP molecules.
The document describes various cell organelles and their structures and functions. It begins by defining organelles as membrane-bound structures that have specialized functions within eukaryotic cells. It then provides details about the structures and roles of the plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, and other organelles. It also compares the characteristics of plant and animal cells. The document appears to be notes for a chapter in a biology textbook on cellular organelles.
1. The document provides an overview of cell biology, defining key terms and outlining the history and development of cell theory.
2. It describes the origins of cell theory from early microscope observations by Hooke and the later formulation of cell theory by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow.
3. The document concludes with descriptions of different levels of cellular organization, types of cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic), and differences between plant and animal cells.
This document provides an introduction to plant tissue culture and propagation prepared for third year biology students. It defines key terms related to plant tissue culture such as explant, callus, and nutrient medium. The document discusses the history and development of plant tissue culture techniques dating back to early experiments in the 1900s. It also covers the application of plant tissue culture for cloning plants, eliminating diseases, and producing metabolites, as well as factors that affect culture efficiency such as growth media, environmental conditions, and the explant source.
This document provides an overview of the historical development of the theory of evolution. It discusses pre-Darwinian thinkers like Jean Baptiste Lamarck and his theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. It also mentions the contributions of Charles Lyell and his theory of uniformitarianism. The bulk of the document focuses on Charles Darwin and the influence of his voyage on the Beagle, particularly his observations of the Galapagos finches. It outlines Darwin's subsequent development of the theory of natural selection and publication of On the Origin of Species. Finally, it briefly discusses other scientists like Alfred Russel Wallace, Ernst Haeckel, and their role in further developing evolutionary thought, culminating in the modern synthesis of evolution.
This document outlines the evolution of humans and their hominid ancestors. It discusses key species like Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens. Important developments include the evolution of bipedalism, increasing brain size, tool use, and the migration of hominids out of Africa between 1-2 million years ago. The timeline of human evolution began with tree-dwelling primate ancestors 5-10 million years ago and led to modern humans.
This document summarizes cytoplasmic inheritance and maternal effect. It discusses how some character inheritance is governed by cytoplasmic or organelle genes rather than nuclear genes. It describes features of cytoplasmic inheritance like reciprocal differences and maternal effects. It also discusses genes located in mitochondria and chloroplasts, differences between nuclear and cytoplasmic inheritance, and the endosymbiont theory which suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as symbiotic prokaryotes. The maternal effect is explained as the phenomenon where the cytoplasm of the egg cell affects offspring phenotype.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
2. Chapter objectives
At the end of this chapter the students will know:
Microscopy and Types of Microscopy
Magnification and Resolution
Separation of cellular organelles

3. Methods in the study of cell
Microscopy
Most cells are invisible to the human eye.
The smallest object a person can typically discern is about 0.2 mm (200 μm) in size.
Microscopes are instruments used to improve resolution so that cells and their internal structures can be seen.
Microscope (A Greek word, mikrós, "small" and skopeîn, "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see
objects that are too small for the naked eye.
There are two basic types of microscopes:
Light microscopes and
Electron microscopes
3
4. Light Microscope
4
Uses glass lenses and visible light to form a
magnified image of an object
It has a resolving power of about 0.2 μm,
which is 1,000 times that of the human eye
It allows visualization of cell sizes and shapes
and some internal cell structures
7. Parts of Light Microscope
7
Body tube: The body tube is located between
the eye piece and nose piece. It is 160 mm in
length .
8. Parts of Microscope
8
Ocular lens:
These are also called as eye pieces located at
the top of the body tube.
The ocular magnifies the image formed by
the objective lens.
9. 9
Objective lens: These are mounted on the
revolving nose piece.
The objective collects light rays from the object
and forms a magnified real image at some
distance within the body tube.
Parts of Microscope
10. 10
Lens system: There are three types of lenses adapted
in light microscope ie., Condenser, Objective and
Ocular.
Condenser lens: it is located below the stage and
above the mirror or light source.
It collects and focuses the light rays into the plane of
the object.
It does not take part in image formation.
It just increases the intensity of light.
Parts of Microscope
11. Types of Light Microscope
There are three types of Light Microscopes. These are:
1. Bright Field
2. Dark Field and
3. Phase Contrast
11
12. Bright field microscopes
A microscope that allows light rays to pass directly through
to the eye without being deflected by an intervening opaque
plate in the condenser.
The bright-field light microscope is an instrument that
magnifies images using two lens systems.
This is the conventional type of instrument encountered by
students in beginning courses in biology.
12
13. Dark field microscope
Delicate transparent living organisms can be more easily observed with darkfield
microscopy than with conventional bright field microscopy.
This effect may be produced by placing a darkfield stop below the regular condenser.
Another application of darkfield microscopy is in the fluorescence microscope.
13
14. Fluorescence Microscope
Locations of specific molecules are revealed by labeling the molecules with fluorescent dyes or antibodies,
which absorb ultraviolet radiation and emit visible light.
In this fluorescently labeled uterine cell, DNA is blue, organelles called mitochondria are orange, and
part of the cell’s “skeleton” (called the cytoskeleton) is green.
14
15. Phase-Contrast Microscopy
A microscope that is able to differentiate transparent protoplasmic structures without staining and
killing.
It is the instrument of choice for studying living protozoans and other types of transparent cells.
15
16. Electron microscope (EM)
These are the most advanced type of microscope used in modern science.
The electron microscope are powered by a beam of electron that strikes any to magnify
objects.
Electron microscopes are used to studying cells and smaller particle of matter, as well as
large objects.
Light source
The light source in this is electron gun and is located at the top of the microscope body.
16
17. Electron microscope (EM)
It uses magnets to focus an electron beam
The resolving power of electron microscopes is about 0.5 nm, which is 400,000 times that
of the human eye.
This resolving power permits the details of many subcellular structures to be distinguished.
There are two main types of electron microscopes:
1. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
2. Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
17
18. Electron microscope - electromagnetic lenses are used to
direct electrons onto the tiny specimen
18
Electron microscope (EM)
19. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
The SEM passes a beam of electrons over the specimen’s surface.
SEMs provide three-dimensional images of the specimen’s surface
SEMs can magnify objects up to 100,000 times.
19
20. Pollen grains – scanning electron
microscope 3D
20
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
21. Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
The TEM transmits a beam of electrons through a very thinly
sliced specimen.
Magnetic lenses enlarge the image and focus it on a screen or
photographic plate.
Transmission electron microscopes can magnify objects up to
200,000 times.
21
22. Magnification
On an image of a specimen it is useful to show how much larger/smaller the image is than the real
specimen. This is called magnification.
Magnification is the number of times larger an image is, than the real size of the object.
22
23. How do we find the overall magnification of a light microscope?
23
Eyepiece

Overall
Magnification
X10 X4 40
X10 X10 100
X10 X40 400
X10 X100 1000
Eyepiece
Objective lens
25. How to calculate Magnification?
To calculate magnification
Using a ruler measure the size of a large clear feature on the image
Measure the same length on the specimen
Convert to the same units of measurement
Magnification = length on the image /length on the specimen
Length of the actual specimen = length on the image/Magnification
25
26. Con’t
26
In this example the image of a Rose leaf the
magnification is X 0.83 and picture is 4.2cm
This tells us the image is smaller than the real
specimen.
The length of the real specimen = picture
length/Magnification 0.83 or 4.2cm/0.83 = 5.06
cm
31. Home Activity
31
1. A student views an image of a cell magnified 250 times. The image is 150mm long. What is the actual
length of the sample in the image?
2. A sperm cell has a tail 50micro meter long. A student draws it 75mm long. How many times can be
magnified based the given data?
33. Scale Bars
33
A scale bar is a line added to a drawing, diagram or
photograph to show the actual size of the structures.
The scale bar in the picture allows you quickly to
determine the approximate size of a feature.
The main feature in the micrograph is a nucleus with a
dark region called the nucleolus.
Using the picture estimate the size of the nucleus and
its nucleolus.
34. Resolution
Resolution can be defined as the ability to distinguish between two separate points.
If the two points cannot be resolved, they will be seen as one point.
In practice, resolution is the amount of detail that can be seen – the greater the resolution, the greater the
detail.
The maximum resolution of a light microscope is 200 nm.
This means that if two points or objects are closer together than 200 nm they cannot be distinguished as
separate.
34
35. The difference between magnification and resolution.
Magnification is the degree to which the size of an image is larger than the object itself.
Resolution is the degree to which it is possible to distinguish between two objects that are
very close together.
35
36. Separation of cellular organelles
Each organelle has characteristics (size, shape and density for example) which make it different from other
organelles within the same cell.
If the cell is broken open in a gentle manner, each of its organelles can be subsequently isolated.
The process of breaking open cells is homogenization and the subsequent isolation of organelles is
fractionation.
Used to isolate different organelles of a Cell
This enables individual organelle structures and functions to be studied
36
37. Con’t
Isolating the organelles or cell fractionation requires the use of physical chemistry
techniques
Those techniques can range from the use of:
simple sieves
gravity sedimentation or
differential precipitation
ultracentrifugation of fluorescent labeled organelles in computer generated density
gradients.
37
38. Steps of Cell Fractionation
There are three major steps of cell fractionation. These are:
1. Homogenization
2. Filtration
3. Ultra Centrifugation/ Fractionation
38
39. 1. Homogenization
The first step in the preparation of isolated organelles is to obtain a "pure" sample for
further analysis
Cells which are part of a more solid tissue (such as liver or kidney) will first need to be
separated from all connections with other cells
39
40. Con’t
Cells are broken open to release the contents
and organelles are then separated
The cells must be prepared in a cold isotonic
and buffered solution
40
41. Con’t
Cold: To reduce enzyme activity. When the cell breaks open enzymes are released which
could be damage the organelles
Isotonic: Must be the same water potential to prevent osmosis as this could cause the
organelles to shrivel or burst.
Buffered: the Solution has a PH buffer to prevent damage to organelles
41
42. Con’t
Homogenization techniques can be divided into those brought about by:
Osmotic alterations
Mortars, Pestles
Blenders
Compression/Expansion ….etc
42
44. The most widely used technique for fractionating cellular
components is the use of centrifugal force
The Filtered Solution is spun at different speeds to in a
Centrifuge.
Material initially uniformly distributed in the solution
During spin, particles move with varying velocities down tube
Then organelles can be separated accordingly their size density.
44
3. Fractionation/ Centrifugation
45. Con’t
The centrifuge spins and the centrifugal force causes pellets of the most dense organelles to move to bottom.
Supernatant = liquid + most slowly regimenting component
pellet contains larger to smaller particles (usually mixture)
45
46. Con’t
The centrifuge is first spun at a low speed and the process is repeated at increasingly faster speeds
Each time the supernatants (liquid) is removed, leaving behind a pallet of organelles
The supernatant is then spun again to remove the next pellet of organelles
46
47. Differential Centrifugation
Order of Pellet formation/ differential
of organelles
1. Nuclei--- (heaviest)
2. Chloroplasts (if it is plant cell)
3. Mitochondria
4. Lysosomes
5. Endoplasmic reticulum
6. Ribosomes ---- (lightest)
47
48. Gravity Sedimentation
This can be accomplished by the simple use of gravity sedimentation
The samples are allowed to sit, and separation occurs due to the natural differences in
size and shape (density) of the cells
48
