CONTENTS
Cell Structure – Animal & Plant
Use of Cells – Commercial & Industrial of
Yeast, Fungus, and Bacteria
Diffusion: In humans
Osmosis: Solutions & Effects on Animal &
Plant cells
Animal Cells - have 3 parts
Nucleus – controls cell function
Cytoplasm – jelly-like substance
Cell Membrane – encloses the cell
Plant Cells - have 6 parts
Nucleus
Cytoplasm Cell Membrane
And Cell Wall – protects the cell
Vacuole – stores water & food
Chloroplast – used in Photosynthesis
Commercial uses of cells: YEAST
A Single-celled Fungus that grows by Budding
It does not contain Chlorophyll so can not
Photosynthesise to make food
Uses: Bread Making, Brewing & Wine-Making
To make bread the Yeast is kept in Aerobic
Conditions
To make alcohol the Yeast is kept in Anaerobic
Conditions
Industrial uses of cells: YEAST
Yeast helps to make an Alternative Fuel
Source;
ETHANOL
This form of Alcohol is produced during
Alcoholic Fermentation (Anaerobic Respiration)
Commercial uses of cells: FUNGUS
Fungus live on dead and rotting matter, as do
BACTERIA
Fungus use ANTIBIOTICS to protect themselves from
Bacterial infections
The most famous Fungus is Penicillium that produces
the Antibiotic Penicillin
Commercial uses of cells: FUNGUS
ANTIBIOTICS
Are described as
Narrow-spectrum or Broad-spectrum
Narrow-spectrum – effective against a few Bacteria
Broad-spectrum – effective against a wide range
Antibiotics work by attacking the External & Internal
Cell Structures or even the DNA of the Bacteria
Commercial uses of cells: FUNGUS
THE BACTERIA!
Are described as
Sensitive or Resistant
Sensitive – if its growth is prevented by an antibiotic
Resistant – if the antibiotic has no effect
‘Super Staph’ – a species of Bacterium resistant to all
but 1 Antibiotic!!
Commercial uses of cells: BACTERIA
The BACTERIA Lactobacillus are used to make
YOGHURT
Bacteria digests the Milk sugar LACTOSE producing
LACTIC ACID
Lactic Acid causes a drop in pH, the milk proteins
clump together (coagulate) & the semi-solid Yoghurt
forms
Diffusion
The net movements of molecules from an area of
HIGH CONCENTRATION
to an area of
LOW CONCENTRATION
along a CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
Osmosis
The net movements of molecules from an area of
HIGH CONCENTRATION
to an area of
LOW CONCENTRATION
Through a SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE
Examples of Diffusion
In humans:
Gas Exchange in the lungs during breathing
Oxygen passes from the lungs to the blood
Carbon Dioxide from the blood to the lungs
Osmosis: Solutions
HYPERTONIC: High Solute/Low Water (water moves IN)
ISOTONIC: Balanced to the cell contents (no movement)
HYPERTONIC: Low Solute/High Water (water moves OUT)
