Function
HOMEOSTASIS
Homeo = same, Stasis = Still
Maintain a stable internal environment
e.g. Body temperature (98.6°), Heart rate (72beats/min), pH balance
Consumes most metabolic energy of all processes
REQUIRMENTS FOR HOMEOSTASIS
1. Receptors – Provide information about environment
Thermoreceptors –detect temperature
2. Control Center with Set point
Control Center = sets the range at which the value is maintained
Hypothalamus = Control Center
Set point = range of values
98.6°F = set point
3. Effectors
Muscles or glands
Responds to input from control center
Alters conditions
e.g. Sweat glands secrete sweat to cool body
Example of Homeostatic Mechanism
EXAMPLES
Example of Homeostatic Mechanism
Stimulus = hot environment → Body temperature increases →
Detected by thermoreceptors (receptors) → info into hypothalamus (control center)
→ Hypothalamus detects deviation from body temp (set point) →
output signal to sweat glands (effectors) → Sweat glands secrete sweat →
response = body temp cools → Stimulus decreases
HOMEOSTASIS
TWO TYPES OF FEEDBACK
Negative Feedback = response to decrease the deviation from a set point
Most homeostatic mechanisms rely on negative feedback
Positive Feedback = response to increase deviation from set point
Short lived and uncommon
e.g. Child birth

For most atoms, number of protons = number of electrons, and therefore are neutral
Number of neutrons may vary
Atomic Number (AN) = Number of protons in an atom
Defines the identity of an atom
Changing the atomic number changes the atom
Atomic Weight (AW) = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Examples:
Hydrogen = 1proton, 1 electron, 0 neutrons
Atomic Number = 1, Atomic Weight = 1
Helium = 2 protons, 2 electrons, 2 neutrons
Atomic Number = 2, Atomic Weight = 4
Lithium = 3 Protons, 4 Neutrons, 3 Electrons
Atomic Number = 3, Atomic Weight = 7

BONDING ATOMS
Electron Orbit (Shell)
Electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete orbits
Inner orbit = holds 2 electrons
2nd orbit = holds 8 electrons

Octet Rule
Except for the 1st electron orbit, which holds 2 electrons, each additional orbit
holds 8 electrons
IONS

1 electron in outer orbit
Outer lone electron is easily lost
Na + = cation
Chlorine (Cl) = 17 protons, 18 neutrons, 17 electrons
7 electrons in outer orbit, which can hold 8 electrons
1 electron is easily gained
Cl- = anion

COVALENT BONDS
NonPolar Covalent Bond
Equal sharing of electrons, e.g. H2 (H-H)
Polar Covalent Bond
Unequal sharing of electrons, e.g. H2O (H-O-H)
Oxygen has stronger attraction to electrons & is slightly – charged
Hydrogen partially gives electrons to Oxygen & is + charged
HYDROGEN BOND

PH
Neutral, pH = 7.0
number of protons = number of hydroxide ions (H⁺ = OH⁻)
e.g. Water H2O → H⁺ + OH⁻
Acids, pH < 7.0
Number of protons is greater than number of hydroxides (H⁺ > OH⁻)
Bases, pH> 7.0
Number of protons is less than number of hydroxides (H⁺ < OH⁻)

Hydrophilic “water loving” = water soluble
Fatty Acid Chains “tail”
Nonpolar groups
Hydrophobic “water fearing” = insoluble in water
Oily
Cholesterol
Membrane Proteins
FORMATION OF MEMBRANE
Phospholipids align in water
Expose polar heads to water = polar outside
Hide nonpolar tails from water = oily inside
Nonpolar interior
Allows nonpolar molecules to cross into and out of cell
e.g. O2,CO2, steroid hormones
Polar molecules cannot cross cell membrane
e.g. H2O, sugars, amino acids

MOVEMENTS
Passive = requires no energy from cell
Active = requires energy from cell in form of ATP
Passive Movements
Diffusion
Random movement of molecules from higher to lower concentration
Molecules tend to diffuse = become evenly distributed
Requirements:
Cell membrane must be permeable to substance (small & nonpolar)
e.g. CO2, O2, Steroids
A concentration gradient must exist across membrane
One side of cell membrane must have a greater concentration than the other
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion with the aid of a carrier protein
Allows selective molecules to cross membrane
e.g. ions, sugars, proteins, amino acids
Carrier protein changes conformation
Substances move down concentration gradient
Limited by number of carrier protein
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across selectively permeable membrane
Water passes through channels, called aquaporins
Large solutes (salts) cannot cross membrane
Water follows salts
Osmotic pressure exerted on cell
Isotonic = same solute concentration inside and outside cell
Hypertonic = Greater solute concentration outside cell than inside cell
Water leaves cell & cell shrinks
Hypotonic = Greater solute concentration inside cell than outside
Water enters cell and cell swells
Cell may lyse “burst”
Filtration
Fluid is pushed across a membrane that larger molecules cannot cross
Separates solids from liquids
Force = hydrostatic pressure – derived from blood pressure
Active Transport
Movement against a concentration gradient
Requires ATP for energy (up to 40% of cell’s ATP)
Includes carrier proteins
e.g. Na+/K+ pumps can pump sodium out of cell and
potassium into cell
Establishes a concentration gradient
