The cell as a biological system

2.1. Cell theory, its main provisions, role in the formation of the modern natural science picture of the world. Development of knowledge about the cell. The cellular structure of organisms, the similarity of the structure of cells of all organisms - the basis of the unity of the organic world, evidence of the relationship of living nature

the unity of the organic world, the cell, the cell theory, the provisions of the cell theory.


We have already said that scientific theory is a synthesis of scientific data about the research object. This fully applies to the cell theory created by two German researchers M. Schleiden and T. Schwann in 1839.

The cell theory was based on the work of many researchers who were looking for an elementary structural unit of living things. The creation and development of cell theory was facilitated by the emergence in the 16th century. and further development of microscopy.

Here are the main events that preceded the creation of the cell theory:

- 1590 - creation of the first microscope (the Jansen brothers);

- 1665 Robert Hooke - the first description of the microscopic structure of the cork of an elderberry branch (in fact, these were cell walls, but Hooke introduced the name "cell");

- 1695 Publication of Anthony Levenguk on microbes and other microscopic organisms seen through a microscope;

- 1833 R. Brown described the nucleus of a plant cell;

- 1839 M. Schleiden and T. Schwann discovered the nucleolus.

The main provisions of modern cell theory:

1. All simple and complex organisms consist of cells capable of exchanging substances, energy, biological information with the environment.

2. A cell is an elementary structural, functional and genetic unit of living things.

3. A cell is an elementary unit of reproduction and development of living things.

4. In multicellular organisms, cells are differentiated in structure and function. They are combined into tissues, organs, and organ systems.

5. The cell is an elementary, open living system capable of self-regulation, self-renewal and reproduction.

The cell theory has developed through new discoveries. In 1880, Walter Flemming described chromosomes and the processes that take place in mitosis. Since 1903, genetics began to develop. Beginning in 1930, electron microscopy began to develop rapidly, which allowed scientists to study the finest structure of cellular structures. The 20th century became the century of the flourishing of biology and such sciences as cytology, genetics, embryology, biochemistry, and biophysics. Without the creation of a cell theory, this development would have been impossible.

So, the cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells. A cell is that minimal structure of a living thing that has all vital properties - the ability to metabolize, grow, develop, transfer genetic information, self-regulation and self-renewal. The cells of all organisms have similar structural features. However, cells differ from each other in their size, shape and function. An ostrich egg and a frog egg consist of one cell. Muscle cells are contractile, and nerve cells conduct nerve impulses. Differences in the structure of cells largely depend on the functions that they perform in organisms. The more complex the organism is, the more diverse its cells are in their structure and functions. Each type of cell has a specific size and shape. The similarity in the structure of cells of various organisms, the commonality of their basic properties confirm the commonality of their origin and allow us to draw a conclusion about the unity of the organic world.

2.2. A cell is a unit of structure, vital activity, growth and development of organisms. Variety of cells. Comparative characteristics cells of plants, animals, bacteria, fungi

The main bacterial cells, fungal cells, plant cells, animal cells, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells.


The science that studies the structure and function of cells is called cytology ... We have already said that cells can differ from each other in shape, structure and function, although the basic structural elements of most cells are similar. Biologists distinguish two large systematic groups of cells - prokaryotic and eukaryotic ... Prokaryotic cells do not contain a real nucleus and a number of organelles. (See the section "Cell structure".) Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, which contains the hereditary apparatus of the body. Prokaryotic cells are cells of bacteria, blue-green algae. The cells of all other organisms are eukaryotic.

Any organism develops from a cell. This applies to organisms that were born as a result of asexual and as a result of sexual reproduction. That is why the cell is considered the unit of growth and development of the organism.

Modern taxonomy distinguishes the following kingdoms of organisms: Bacteria, Fungi, Plants, Animals. The reasons for this division are the ways of feeding these organisms and the structure of cells.

Bacterial cells have the following, characteristic structures for them - a dense cell wall, one circular DNA molecule (nucleotide), ribosomes. These cells lack many of the organelles characteristic of eukaryotic plant, animal, and fungal cells. By the way they eat, bacteria are divided into autotrophs, chemotrophs and heterotrophs... Plant cells contain plastids characteristic only of them - chloroplasts, leukoplasts and chromoplasts; they are surrounded by a dense cellulose cell wall, and also have vacuoles with cell sap. All green plants are autotrophic organisms.

Animal cells do not have dense cell walls. They are surrounded by a cell membrane through which they are metabolized with the environment.

Fungal cells are covered with a cell wall that differs in chemical composition from the cell walls of plants. It contains chitin, polysaccharides, proteins and fats as the main components. The reserve substance of cells of fungi and animals is glycogen.

Justification of the relationship of organisms based on the analysis of the chemical composition of their cells

The main terms and concepts tested in the examination paper: nitrogenous bases, active center of an enzyme, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, amino acids, ATP, proteins, biopolymers, denaturation, DNA, deoxyribose, complementarity, lipids, monomer, nucleotide, peptide bond, polymer, carbohydrates, ribose, RNA, enzymes, phospholipids.

2.3.1. Inorganic substances of the cell

The cell contains about 70 elements of the periodic table of elements of Mendeleev, and 24 of them are present in all types of cells. All elements present in the cell are divided, depending on their content in the cell, into groups:

macronutrients - H, O, N, C, Mg, Na, Ca, Fe, K, P, Cl, S;

trace elements - B, Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, Mb, etc .;

ultramicroelements - U, Ra, Au, Pb, Hg, Se, etc.

The cell contains molecules inorganic and organic connections.

Inorganic compounds of the cell - water and inorganic ions.

Water is essential inorganic substance cells. All biochemical reactions take place in aqueous solutions... The water molecule has a nonlinear spatial structure and polarity. Hydrogen bonds are formed between individual water molecules, which determine the physical and chemical properties water.

Physical properties of water: since water molecules are polar, water has the property of dissolving polar molecules of other substances. Substances soluble in water are called hydrophilic... Substances insoluble in water are called hydrophobic.

Water has a high specific heat capacity. To break the numerous hydrogen bonds that exist between water molecules, it takes a lot of energy to be absorbed. Remember how long it takes a kettle to boil. This property of water ensures the maintenance of heat balance in the body.

Enough energy is needed to vaporize water. The boiling point of water is higher than that of many other substances. This property of water protects the body from overheating.

Water can be in three states of aggregation - liquid, solid and gaseous.

Hydrogen bonds determine the viscosity of water and the adhesion of its molecules to the molecules of other substances. Due to the adhesion forces of molecules on the surface of the water, a film is created that has such characteristics as surface tension.

When cooled, the movement of water molecules slows down. The number of hydrogen bonds between molecules becomes maximum. Water reaches its highest density at 4 ° C. When water freezes, it expands (space is needed for the formation of hydrogen bonds) and its density decreases. Therefore, the ice floats.

Biological functions of water... Water ensures the movement of substances in the cell and the body, the absorption of substances and the excretion of metabolic products. In nature, water carries waste products into soils and water bodies.

Water is an active participant in metabolic reactions.

Water is involved in the formation of lubricating fluids and mucus, secretions and juices in the body. These fluids are found in the joints of vertebrates, in the pleural cavity, in the pericardial sac.

Water is part of mucus, which facilitates the movement of substances through the intestines, creates a moist environment on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Secrets secreted by some glands and organs are also water-based: saliva, tears, bile, semen, etc.

Inorganic ions... The inorganic ions of the cell include: cations K +, Na +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, NH 3 + and anions Cl -, NO 3 -, Н 2 PO 4 -, NCO 3 -, НPO 4 2-.

The difference between the number of cations and anions (Na + , Ka + , Сl -) on the surface and inside the cell provides the emergence of an action potential, which underlies nervous and muscular excitation.

Anions phosphoric acids create phosphate buffer systemmaintaining the pH of the intracellular environment of the body at a level of 6-9.

Carbonic acid and its anions create a bicarbonate buffer system and maintain the pH of the extracellular medium (blood plasma) at 7–4.

Nitrogen compounds serve as a source of mineral nutrition, synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids. Phosphorus atoms are part of nucleic acids, phospholipids, as well as the bones of vertebrates, the chitinous cover of arthropods. Calcium ions are part of the bone substance; they are also necessary for muscle contraction and blood clotting.

2.3.2. Organic matter of the cell. Carbohydrates, lipids

Carbohydrates... General formula Cn (H 2 O) n. Therefore, carbohydrates contain only three chemical elements.

Water soluble carbohydrates.

Functions of soluble carbohydrates: transport, protective, signal, energy.

Monosaccharides: glucose - the main source of energy for cellular respiration. Fructosecomponent flower nectar and fruit juices. Ribose and deoxyribose - structural elements of nucleotides, which are monomers of RNA and DNA.

Disaccharides: sucrose (glucose + fructose) - the main product of photosynthesis, transported in plants. Lactose (glucose + galactose) - part of mammalian milk. Maltose (glucose + glucose) - a source of energy in germinating seeds.

Polymer carbohydrates: starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin. They are insoluble in water.

Functions of polymeric carbohydrates: structural, storage, energy, protective.

Starch consists of branched spiralized molecules that form storage substances in plant tissues.

Cellulose - a polymer formed by glucose residues, consisting of several straight parallel chains connected by hydrogen bonds. This structure prevents water penetration and ensures the stability of the cellulose shells of plant cells.

Chitin consists of amino derivatives of glucose. The main structural element of the integument of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.

Glycogen - a reserve substance of an animal cell. Glycogen is even more branchy than starch and is highly soluble in water.

Lipids - esters of fatty acids and glycerin. Insoluble in water, but soluble in non-polar solvents. Present in all cells. Lipids are made up of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms. Types of lipids: fats, waxes, phospholipids. Lipid functions: storing - fats are stored in the tissues of vertebrates. Energy - half of the energy consumed by the cells of vertebrates at rest is formed as a result of fat oxidation. Fats are also used as a source of water. The energy effect from the breakdown of 1 g of fat is 39 kJ, which is twice the energy effect from the breakdown of 1 g of glucose or protein. Protective - the subcutaneous fat layer protects the body from mechanical damage. Structural - phospholipids are part of cell membranes. Heat insulating - subcutaneous fat helps to keep warm. Electrical insulating - myelin secreted by Schwann cells (form sheaths of nerve fibers) isolates some neurons, which speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses many times over. Nutritious - some lipid-like substances help build muscle mass, maintain body tone. Lubricating - waxes cover the skin, wool, feathers and protect them from water. The leaves of many plants are coated with a wax coating; wax is used in the construction of honeycombs. Hormonal - adrenal hormone - cortisone and sex hormones are lipid in nature.

2.3.3. Proteins, their structure and function

Proteins are biological heteropolymers, the monomers of which are amino acids. Proteins are synthesized in living organisms and perform certain functions in them.

Proteins contain atoms of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur. Monomers of proteins are amino acids - substances that contain unchanged parts of the amino group NH 2 and a carboxyl group COOH and a variable part - a radical. It is by radicals that amino acids differ from each other. Amino acids have the properties of an acid and a base (they are amphoteric), so they can combine with each other. Their number in one molecule can reach several hundred. The alternation of different amino acids in a different sequence makes it possible to obtain a huge number of proteins of different structure and function.

There are 20 types of different amino acids in proteins, some of which animals cannot synthesize. They get them from plants that can synthesize all the amino acids. It is to amino acids that proteins are broken down in the digestive tracts of animals. From these amino acids entering the cells of the body, its new proteins are built.

Protein molecule structure... The structure of a protein molecule is understood as its amino acid composition, the sequence of monomers and the degree of twisting of the molecule, which must fit in various sections and organelles of the cell, and not one, but together with a huge number of other molecules.

The sequence of amino acids in a protein molecule forms its primary structure. It depends on the sequence of nucleotides in the region of the DNA molecule (gene) that encodes a given protein. Neighboring amino acids are linked by peptide bonds between the carbon of the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the nitrogen of the amino group of another amino acid.

The long protein molecule folds up and at first takes the form of a spiral. This is how the secondary structure of the protein molecule arises. Between CO and NH - groups of amino acid residues, adjacent turns of the helix, hydrogen bonds arise that hold the chain.

A protein molecule of complex configuration in the form of a globule (ball) acquires a tertiary structure. The strength of this structure is provided by hydrophobic, hydrogen, ionic and disulfide S-S bonds.

Some proteins have a quaternary structure formed by several polypeptide chains (tertiary structures). The quaternary structure is also held by weak non-covalent bonds - ionic, hydrogen, hydrophobic. However, the strength of these bonds is weak and the structure can be easily broken. When heated or treated with certain chemicals, the protein denatures and loses its biological activity. Violation of the quaternary, tertiary and secondary structures is reversible. The destruction of the primary structure is irreversible.

In any cell, there are hundreds of protein molecules that perform various functions. In addition, proteins are species specific. This means that each type of organism has proteins that are not found in other species. This creates serious difficulties in the transplantation of organs and tissues from one person to another, in the grafting of one plant species on another, etc.

Protein functions.

Catalytic (enzymatic) - proteins accelerate all biochemical processes in the cell: cleavage nutrients in the digestive tract, participate in matrix synthesis reactions. Each enzyme accelerates one and only one reaction (both forward and backward). The rate of enzymatic reactions depends on the temperature of the medium, the level of its pH, as well as on the concentrations of the reactants and the concentration of the enzyme.

Transport - proteins provide active transport of ions across cell membranes, transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, transport of fatty acids.

Protective - antibodies provide the body's immune defense; fibrinogen and fibrin protect the body from blood loss.

Structural - one of the main functions of proteins. Proteins are part of cell membranes; the protein keratin forms hair and nails; proteins collagen and elastin - cartilage and tendons.

Contractile - provided by contractile proteins - actin and myosin.

Signal - protein molecules can receive signals and serve as their carriers in the body (hormones). Remember that not all hormones are proteins.

Energy - with prolonged fasting, proteins can be used as an additional source of energy after carbohydrates and fats are consumed.

2.3.4 Nucleic acids

Nucleic acids were discovered in 1868 by the Swiss scientist F. Mischer. In organisms, there are several types of nucleic acids that are found in various organelles of the cell - the nucleus, mitochondria, and plastids. Nucleic acids include DNA, i-RNA, t-RNA, r-RNA.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) - a linear polymer in the form of a double helix formed by a pair of antiparallel complementary (corresponding to each other in configuration) chains. The spatial structure of the DNA molecule was modeled by American scientists James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.

DNA monomers are nucleotides ... Each nucleotide of DNA consists of purine (A - adenine or G - guanine) or pyrimidine (T - thymine or C - cytosine) nitrogenous base, five-carbon sugar - deoxyribose and phosphate group.

Nucleotides in a DNA molecule are facing each other with nitrogenous bases and are combined in pairs in accordance with the rules of complementarity: thymine is located opposite adenine, cytosine is opposite guanine. The A - T pair is linked by two hydrogen bonds, and the G - C pair - by three. During replication (doubling) of a DNA molecule, hydrogen bonds are broken and the chains diverge, and a new DNA chain is synthesized on each of them. The backbone of DNA chains is formed by sugar phosphate residues.

The sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule determines its specificity, as well as the specificity of the body proteins encoded by this sequence. These sequences are individual for each type of organism, and for individual individuals.

Example: the DNA nucleotide sequence is given: CHA - TTA - CAA.

The messenger RNA (m-RNA) will be used to synthesize the HCC - AAU - GUU chain, as a result of which a chain of amino acids will be built: alanine - asparagine - valine.

When replacing nucleotides in one of the triplets or rearranging them, this triplet will encode another amino acid, and therefore the protein encoded by this gene will also change. (Taking advantage of school textbook, try to verify this.) Changes in the composition of nucleotides or their sequence are called mutations.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) - a linear polymer consisting of one nucleotide chain. In the RNA, the thymine nucleotide is substituted for the uracil (U) nucleotide. Each RNA nucleotide contains a five-carbon sugar - ribose, one of four nitrogenous bases and a phosphoric acid residue.

Types of RNA. Matrix, or informational, RNA. It is synthesized in the nucleus with the participation of the RNA polymerase enzyme. It is complementary to the DNA site where the synthesis takes place. Its function is to remove information from DNA and transfer it to the site of protein synthesis - to ribosomes. Makes 5% of the RNA of the cell. Ribosomal RNA - is synthesized in the nucleolus and is part of the ribosomes. It makes up 85% of the cell RNA. Transport RNA (more than 40 types). It transports amino acids to the site of protein synthesis. It is shaped like a clover leaf and consists of 70–90 nucleotides.

Adenosine triphosphoric acid - ATP... ATP is a nucleotide consisting of a nitrogenous base - adenine, a carbohydrate ribose and three phosphoric acid residues, two of which store a large amount of energy. When one residue of phosphoric acid is cleaved off, 40 kJ / mol of energy is released. Compare this figure with the figure for the energy released per gram of glucose or fat. The ability to store this amount of energy makes ATP a universal source of energy. ATP synthesis occurs mainly in the mitochondria.

Any cell is a system. This means that all of its components are interconnected, interdependent and interact with each other. This also means that disruption of one of the elements of a given system leads to changes and disruptions in the operation of the entire system. The set of cells forms tissues, various tissues form organs, and organs, interacting and performing common function, form organ systems. This chain can be continued further, and you can do it yourself.

2.5.1. Energy and plastic metabolism, their relationship

Metabolism (metabolism) Is a set of interrelated processes of synthesis and breakdown of chemicals that take place in the body. Biologists divide it into plastic ( anabolism) and energy exchanges ( catabolism) that are related. All synthetic processes require substances and energy supplied by cleavage processes. Cleavage processes are catalyzed by enzymes synthesized during plastic metabolism, using the products and energy of energy metabolism.

For certain processes occurring in organisms, the following terms are used:

Anabolism (assimilation) - synthesis of more complex monomers from simpler ones with absorption and accumulation of energy in the form of chemical bonds in synthesized substances.

Catabolism (dissimilation) - the decomposition of more complex monomers into simpler ones with the release of energy and its storage in the form of high-energy ATP bonds.

Living beings use light and chemical energy for their life. Green plants - autotrophs , - synthesize organic compounds in the process of photosynthesis, using the energy of sunlight. The source of carbon for them is carbon dioxide. Many autotrophic prokaryotes produce energy in the process chemosynthesis - oxidation of inorganic compounds. For them, the source of energy can be compounds of sulfur, nitrogen, carbon. Heterotrophs use organic carbon sources, that is, they feed on ready-made organic substances. Among the plants, there may be those that feed in a mixed way ( mixotrophic) - sundew, venus flytrap, or even heterotrophic - rafflesia. Of the representatives of unicellular animals, green euglena are considered mixotrophs.

Enzymes, their chemical nature, role in metabolism... Enzymes are always specific proteins - catalysts. The term "specific" means that the object in relation to which this term is used has unique features, properties, characteristics. Each enzyme has such characteristics, because, as a rule, it catalyzes a certain type of reaction. Not a single biochemical reaction in the body occurs without the participation of enzymes. The specific features of the enzyme molecule are explained by its structure and properties. The enzyme molecule contains an active center, the spatial configuration of which corresponds to the spatial configuration of the substances with which the enzyme interacts. Having recognized its substrate, the enzyme interacts with it and accelerates its transformation.

All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Without their participation, the speed of these reactions would decrease hundreds of thousands of times. Examples include such reactions as the participation of RNA - polymerase in the synthesis of - m-RNA on DNA, the effect of urease on urea, the role of ATP - synthetase in the synthesis of ATP, and others. Note that many enzymes end in aza.

The activity of enzymes depends on temperature, acidity of the environment, and the amount of substrate with which it interacts. As the temperature rises, enzyme activity increases. However, this happens up to certain limits, since at sufficiently high temperatures the protein is denatured. The environment in which enzymes can function is different for each group. There are enzymes that are active in an acidic or slightly acidic environment or in an alkaline or slightly alkaline environment. In an acidic environment, enzymes of gastric juice are active in mammals. In a weakly alkaline environment, intestinal juice enzymes are active. The digestive enzyme of the pancreas is active in an alkaline environment. Most enzymes are active in a neutral environment.

2.5.2. Energy metabolism in the cell (dissimilation)

Energy exchange Is a set of chemical reactions of gradual decomposition of organic compounds, accompanied by the release of energy, part of which is spent on the synthesis of ATP. Degradation of organic compounds in aerobic organisms occur in three stages, each of which is accompanied by several enzymatic reactions.

First step - preparatory ... In the gastrointestinal tract of multicellular organisms, it is carried out by digestive enzymes. In unicellular organisms - by lysosome enzymes. At the first stage, proteins are broken down to amino acids, fats to glycerol and fatty acids, polysaccharides to monosaccharides, nucleic acids to nucleotides. This process is called digestion.

Second phase - anoxic (glycolysis ). Its biological meaning lies in the beginning of the gradual breakdown and oxidation of glucose with the accumulation of energy in the form of 2 ATP molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It consists of several successive reactions of the conversion of a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) and two ATP molecules, in the form of which a part of the energy released during glycolysis is stored: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 2ADP + 2F → 2C 3 H 4 O 3 + 2ATF. The rest of the energy is dissipated as heat.

In yeast and plant cells ( with a lack of oxygen) pyruvate decomposes into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This process is called alcoholic fermentation .

The energy accumulated during glycolysis is too little for organisms that use oxygen to breathe. That is why lactic acid (C 3 H 6 O 3) is formed in the muscles of animals, including humans, under heavy loads and a lack of oxygen, which accumulates in the form of lactate. Muscle pain appears. In untrained people it happens faster than in trained people.

The third stage is oxygen , consisting of two sequential processes - the Krebs cycle, named after the Nobel laureate Hans Krebs, and oxidative phosphorylation. Its meaning lies in the fact that during oxygen respiration, pyruvate is oxidized to the final products - carbon dioxide and water, and the energy released during oxidation is stored in the form of 36 ATP molecules. (34 molecules in the Krebs cycle and 2 molecules in the course of oxidative phosphorylation). This energy of decomposition of organic compounds provides the reactions of their synthesis in plastic exchange. The oxygen stage arose after the accumulation of a sufficient amount of molecular oxygen in the atmosphere and the appearance of aerobic organisms.

Oxidative phosphorylation or cellular respiration occurs on the inner membranes of mitochondria, in which electron carrier molecules are embedded. During this stage, most of the metabolic energy is released. Carrier molecules transport electrons to molecular oxygen. Part of the energy is dissipated in the form of heat, and part is spent on the formation of ATP.

The total reaction of energy metabolism:

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + 38ATP.

2.5.3. Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis

All living things need food and nutrients. Eating, they use energy stored primarily in organic compounds - proteins, fats, carbohydrates. Heterotrophic organisms, as already mentioned, use food of plant and animal origin that already contains organic compounds. Plants create organic matter through photosynthesis. Research in the field of photosynthesis began in 1630 with the experiments of the Dutchman van Helmont. He proved that plants receive organic matter not from the soil, but create them on their own. Joseph Priestley in 1771 proved the "correction" of air with plants. Placed under a glass cover, they absorbed carbon dioxide emitted by a smoldering torch. Research has continued and it has now been found that photosynthesis Is a process of the formation of organic compounds from carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water using the energy of light and takes place in the chloroplasts of green plants and the green pigments of some photosynthetic bacteria.

Chloroplasts and folds of the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes contain a green pigment - chlorophyll... The chlorophyll molecule is able to be excited by sunlight and donate its electrons and move them to higher energy levels. This process can be compared to a ball tossed up. As it rises, the ball stores up potential energy; falling, he loses her. Electrons do not fall back, but are picked up by electron carriers (NADP + - nicotinamide diphosphate). In this case, the energy accumulated earlier by them is partially spent on the formation of ATP. Continuing the comparison with a tossed ball, we can say that the ball, falling, heats the surrounding space, and part of the energy of the falling electrons is stored in the form of ATP. The process of photosynthesis is divided into reactions caused by light and reactions associated with carbon fixation. They are called light and dark phases.

"Light phase" - This is the stage at which the light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted into electrochemical energy in the electron transport chain. It is carried out in the light, in gran membranes with the participation of carrier proteins and ATP synthetase.

Light-induced reactions occur on the photosynthetic membranes of the granular chloroplasts:

1) excitation of chlorophyll electrons by light quanta and their transition to a higher energy level;

2) restoration of electron acceptors - NADP + to NADP H

2H + + 4e - + NADP + → NADPH;

3) photolysis of waterwhich occurs with the participation of light quanta: 2H 2 O → 4H + + 4e - + O 2.

This process takes place inside thylakoids - folds of the inner membrane of chloroplasts. Granas are formed from thylakoids - stacks of membranes.

Since the examination papers ask not about the mechanisms of photosynthesis, but about the results of this process, then we will move on to them.

The results of light reactions are: photolysis of water with the formation of free oxygen, synthesis of ATP, reduction of NADP + to NADP H. Thus, light is needed only for the synthesis of ATP and NADP-H.

"Dark phase" - the process of converting CO 2 into glucose in the stroma (space between the grains) of chloroplasts using the energy of ATP and NADP H.

The result of dark reactions is the conversion of carbon dioxide to glucose and then to starch. In addition to glucose molecules in the stroma, the formation of amino acids, nucleotides, and alcohols occurs.

The total equation of photosynthesis is

The importance of photosynthesis... In the process of photosynthesis, free oxygen is formed, which is necessary for the respiration of organisms:

oxygen forms a protective ozone screen, which protects organisms from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation;

photosynthesis provides the production of original organic substances, and therefore food for all living things;

photosynthesis helps to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Chemosynthesis - the formation of organic compounds from inorganic ones due to the energy of redox reactions of nitrogen, iron, sulfur compounds. There are several types of chemosynthetic reactions:

1) oxidation of ammonia to nitrous and nitric acid by nitrifying bacteria:

NH 3 → HNQ 2 → HNO 3 + Q;

2) the transformation of ferrous iron into ferric iron bacteria:

Fe 2+ → Fe 3+ + Q;

3) oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur or sulfuric acid by sulfur bacteria

H 2 S + O 2 \u003d 2H 2 O + 2S + Q,

H 2 S + O 2 \u003d 2H 2 SO 4 + Q.

The released energy is used for the synthesis of organic substances.

2.6. Biosynthesis of protein and nucleic acids. Matrix character of biosynthesis reactions. Genetic information in the cell. Genes, genetic code and its properties

Terms and concepts tested in the examination paper: anticodon, biosynthesis, gene, genetic information, genetic code, codon, matrix synthesis, polysome, transcription, translation.


Genes, genetic code and its properties... More than 6 billion people already live on Earth. Except for 25-30 million pairs of identical twins, then genetically all people are different. This means that each of them is unique, has unique hereditary characteristics, character traits, abilities, temperament and many other qualities. What determines such differences between people? Of course, the differences in their genotypes, that is, the sets of genes of a given organism. Each person is unique, just as the genotype of an individual animal or plant is unique. But the genetic traits of a given person are embodied in proteins synthesized in his body. Consequently, the structure of the protein of one person differs, albeit quite slightly, from the protein of another person. That is why the problem of organ transplantation arises, that is why there are allergic reactions to food, insect bites, plant pollen, etc. This does not mean that people do not have exactly the same proteins. Proteins that perform the same functions may be the same or only slightly differ by one or two amino acids from each other. But there are no people on Earth (with the exception of identical twins) in whom all proteins would be the same.

Information about the primary structure of a protein is encoded in the form of a sequence of nucleotides in a section of a DNA molecule - a gene. Gene Is a unit of hereditary information of an organism. Each DNA molecule contains many genes. The totality of all genes of an organism constitutes its genotype.

Hereditary information is encoded using genetic code... The code is similar to the well-known Morse code, which encodes information with dots and dashes. Morse code is universal for all radio operators, and the only differences are in the translation of signals into different languages. Genetic code It is also universal for all organisms and differs only in the alternation of nucleotides that form genes and coding for proteins of specific organisms. So what exactly is the genetic code? Initially, it consists of triplets (triplets) of DNA nucleotides, combined in a different sequence. For example, AAT, HCA, ACG, THC, etc. Each triplet of nucleotides encodes a specific amino acid that will be inserted into the polypeptide chain. For example, the CGT triplet encodes the amino acid alanine, and the AAG triplet encodes the phenylalanine amino acid. There are 20 amino acids, and 64 possibilities for combinations of four nucleotides into groups of three. Therefore, four nucleotides are enough to encode 20 amino acids. This is why one amino acid can be encoded by several triplets. Some of the triplets do not code for amino acids at all, but start or stop protein biosynthesis. The code itself is considered the sequence of nucleotides in an i-RNA molecule, because it removes information from DNA (transcription process) and translates it into a sequence of amino acids in the molecules of synthesized proteins (translation process). The composition and RNA includes the nucleotides of the ACGU. Triplets of m-RNA nucleotides are called codons ... The already cited examples of DNA triplets on m-RNA will look like this - the CGT triplet on m-RNA will become the HCA triplet, and the DNA triplet - AAG - will become the UUC triplet. It is the m-RNA codons that reflect the genetic code in the record. So, the genetic code is triplet, universal for all organisms on earth, degenerated (each amino acid is encrypted with more than one codon). There are punctuation marks between the genes - these are triplets called stop codons. They signal the end of the synthesis of one polypeptide chain. There are tables of the genetic code that you need to be able to use to decipher the m-RNA codons and build chains of protein molecules.

Protein biosynthesis - This is one of the types of plastic metabolism, during which hereditary information encoded in DNA genes is realized in a specific sequence of amino acids in protein molecules. Genetic information taken from DNA and translated into the code of the i-RNA molecule must be realized, that is, manifest in the characteristics of a particular organism. These signs are determined by proteins. Protein biosynthesis occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. This is where the informational RNA comes from the cell nucleus. If the synthesis of i-RNA on a DNA molecule is called transcription, then protein synthesis on ribosomes is called broadcast - translation of the language of the genetic code into the language of the sequence of amino acids in a protein molecule. Amino acids are delivered to the ribosomes by transport RNAs. These RNAs are in the shape of a clover leaf. At the end of the molecule there is a site for the attachment of an amino acid, and at the top there is a triplet of nucleotides, complementary to a certain triplet - a codon on the m-RNA. This triplet is called an anticodon. After all, he deciphers the i-RNA code. There are always the same number of t-RNAs in a cell as there are codons encoding amino acids.

The ribosome moves along the i-RNA, shifting by three nucleotides when a new amino acid approaches, freeing them for a new anticodon. The amino acids delivered to the ribosomes are oriented in relation to each other so that the carboxyl group of one amino acid is adjacent to the amino group of another amino acid. As a result, a peptide bond is formed between them. A polypeptide molecule is gradually formed.

Protein synthesis continues until one of three stop codons appears on the ribosome - UAA, UAH, or UGA.

After this, the polypeptide leaves the ribosome and is sent to the cytoplasm. On one i-RNA molecule there are several ribosomes that form polysome... It is on polysomes that the simultaneous synthesis of several the same polypeptide chains.

Each stage of biosynthesis is catalyzed by a corresponding enzyme and supplied with the energy of ATP.

Biosynthesis occurs in cells at a tremendous rate. In the body of higher animals, up to 60 thousand peptide bonds are formed in one minute.

Matrix synthesis reactions... Matrix synthesis reactions include replication DNA, synthesis of i-RNA on DNA ( transcription), and protein synthesis on i-RNA ( broadcast), as well as the synthesis of RNA or DNA on the RNA of viruses.

DNA replication... The structure of the DNA molecule, established by J. Watson and F. Crick in 1953, met the requirements that were imposed on the molecule-keeper and transmitter of hereditary information. A DNA molecule consists of two complementary strands. These chains are held together by weak hydrogen bonds that can be broken by enzymes.

A molecule is capable of self-doubling (replication), and a new half of it is synthesized on each old half of the molecule. In addition, an i-RNA molecule can be synthesized on a DNA molecule, which then transfers the information received from DNA to the site of protein synthesis. Information transfer and protein synthesis are based on a matrix principle, comparable to the operation of a printing press in a printing house. Information from DNA is copied many times. If errors occur during copying, they will be repeated in all subsequent copies. True, some errors in copying information by a DNA molecule can be corrected. This error recovery process is called reparations... The first of the reactions in the process of transferring information is the replication of the DNA molecule and the synthesis of new DNA strands.

Replication - This is the process of self-duplication of the DNA molecule, carried out under the control of enzymes. On each of the DNA strands formed after the break of hydrogen bonds, with the participation of the DNA polymerase enzyme, a daughter DNA chain is synthesized. The material for synthesis is free nucleotides present in the cytoplasm of cells.

The biological meaning of replication lies in the exact transfer of hereditary information from the parent molecule to the daughter ones, which normally occurs during the division of somatic cells.

Transcription is the process of removing information from a DNA molecule synthesized on it by an i-RNA molecule. Messenger RNA consists of one strand and is synthesized on DNA in accordance with the rule of complementarity. As in any other biochemical reaction, an enzyme is involved in this synthesis. It activates the beginning and end of the synthesis of the i-RNA molecule. The finished i-RNA molecule enters the cytoplasm on the ribosomes, where the synthesis of polypeptide chains occurs. The process of translating information contained in a nucleotide sequence of an m-RNA into an amino acid sequence in a polypeptide is called broadcast .

Chromosomes - cell structures that store and transmit hereditary information. A chromosome is made up of DNA and protein. The complex of proteins associated with DNA forms chromatin... Proteins play an important role in the packaging of DNA molecules in the nucleus. The chromosome structure is best seen in the metaphase of mitosis. It is a rod-shaped structure and consists of two sister chromatidsheld by the centromere in the area primary constriction... The diploid set of chromosomes of an organism is called karyotype ... Under the microscope, it can be seen that the chromosomes have transverse stripes that alternate in different chromosomes in different ways. Pairs of chromosomes are recognized, taking into account the distribution of light and dark stripes (alternation of AT and GC - pairs). The chromosomes of representatives have transverse striation. different types... Related species, such as humans and chimpanzees, have a similar pattern of striping in chromosomes.

Each type of organism has a constant number, shape and composition of chromosomes. In the human karyotype, there are 46 chromosomes - 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. Males are heterogametic (sex chromosomes XY) and females are homogametic (sex chromosomes XX). The Y chromosome differs from the X chromosome in the absence of some alleles. For example, there is no coagulation allele in the Y chromosome. As a result, only boys usually get hemophilia. Chromosomes of one pair are called homologous. Homologous chromosomes at the same loci (locations) carry allelic genes.

Cell life cycle. Interphase. Mitosis. Cell life cycle - this is the period of her life from division to division. Cells multiply by doubling their contents and then dividing in half. Cell division underlies the growth, development and regeneration of tissues in a multicellular organism. Cell cycle subdivided into interphase, accompanied by the exact copying and distribution of genetic material and mitosis - the actual cell division after doubling of other cellular components. The duration of cell cycles in different species, in different tissues and at different stages varies widely from one hour (in the embryo) to a year (in the liver cells of an adult).

Interphase - the period between two divisions. During this period, the cell prepares for division. The amount of DNA in chromosomes doubles. The number of other organelles doubles, proteins are synthesized, and the most active of them are those that form the spindle of division, the cell grows.

By the end of the interphase, each chromosome consists of two chromatids, which during mitosis will become independent chromosomes.

Mitosis Is a form of division of the cell nucleus. Therefore, it occurs only in eukaryotic cells. As a result of mitosis, each of the formed daughter nuclei receives the same set of genes that the parent cell had. Both diploid and haploid nuclei can enter mitosis. During mitosis, nuclei of the same ploidy as the original are obtained. Mitosis consists of several successive phases.

Prophase... Doubled centrioles diverge to different poles of the cell. From them to the centromeres of chromosomes, microtubules extend, forming a division spindle. Chromosomes are thickened and each chromosome is composed of two chromatids.

Metaphase... In this phase, chromosomes are clearly visible, consisting of two chromatids. They line up along the equator of the cell, forming a metaphase plate.

Anaphase... Chromatids diverge to the poles of the cell at the same speed. The microtubules are shortened.

Telophase... Daughter chromatids approach the cell poles. Microtubules disappear. The chromosomes are despiralized and again become filiform. The nuclear envelope, nucleolus, ribosomes are formed.

Cytokinesis - the process of separation of the cytoplasm. The cell membrane in the central part of the cell is pulled inward. A fission groove is formed, as it deepens, the cell bifurcates.

As a result of mitosis, two new nuclei are formed with identical sets of chromosomes that exactly copy the genetic information of the maternal nucleus.

In tumor cells, the course of mitosis is disrupted.

C1. What is common between the processes of tissue regeneration, the growth of the organism and the fragmentation of the zygote?

C2. What is the biological meaning of chromosome duplication and the amount of DNA in the interphase?

Meiosis... Meiosis is the process of division of cell nuclei, leading to a halving of the number of chromosomes and the formation of gametes. As a result of meiosis, four haploid cells (n) are formed from one diploid cell (2n).

Meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions, which are preceded by a single DNA replication in the interphase.

The main events of the prophase of the first meiotic division are as follows:

- homologous chromosomes unite along their entire length or, as they say, conjugate. When conjugated, chromosome pairs are formed - bivalents;

- as a result, complexes are formed consisting of two homologous chromosomes or of four chromatids (think, what is it for?);

- at the end of the prophase, crossing over (cross) occurs between homologous chromosomes: chromosomes exchange homologous regions with each other. It is crossing over that provides a variety of genetic information that children receive from their parents.

In metaphase I chromosomes line up along the equator of the division spindle. The centromeres face the poles.

Anaphase I - the threads of the spindle contract, homologous chromosomes, consisting of two chromatids, diverge to the poles of the cell, where haploid sets of chromosomes are formed (2 sets per cell). At this stage, chromosomal recombinations occur, which increase the degree of variability of the offspring.

Telophase I - cells with haploid set of chromosomes and twice the amount of DNA. A nuclear envelope is forming. Each cell contains 2 sister chromatids connected by a centromere.

The second division of meiosis consists of prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II, and cytokinesis.

Biological significance meiosis consists in the formation of cells participating in sexual reproduction, in maintaining the genetic constancy of species, as well as in sporulation in higher plants. Spores of mosses, ferns and some other groups of plants are formed by the meiotic pathway. Meiosis serves as the basis for the combinative variability of organisms. Violations of meiosis in humans can lead to pathologies such as Down's disease, idiocy, etc.

Development of germ cells.

The process of formation of germ cells is called gametogenesis. In multicellular organisms, spermatogenesis is distinguished - the formation of male germ cells and oogenesis - the formation of female germ cells. Consider the gametogenesis that occurs in the gonads of animals - the testes and ovaries.

Spermatogenesis - the process of transformation of diploid precursors of germ cells - spermatogonia into the sperm.

1. Spermatogonia are divided into two daughter cells - spermatocytes of the first order.

2. Spermatocytes of the first order are divided by meiosis (1st division) into two daughter cells - spermatocytes of the second order.

3. Spermatocytes of the second order proceed to the second meiotic division, as a result of which 4 haploid spermatids are formed.

4. Spermatids, after differentiation, turn into mature sperm.

The sperm cell consists of a head, neck and tail. He is mobile and due to this the likelihood of meeting him with gametes increases.

In mosses and ferns, sperm develop in antheridia, in angiosperms, they are formed in the pollen tubes.

Ovogenesis - the formation of oocytes in females. In animals, it occurs in the ovaries. In the breeding zone, there are ovogonia - the primary sex cells that multiply by mitosis.

After the first meiotic division, oocytes of the first order are formed from ovogonia.

After the second meiotic division, oocytes of the second order are formed, from which one egg and three directional bodies are formed, which then die. The eggs are motionless, spherical in shape. They are larger than other cells and contain a supply of nutrients for the development of the embryo.

In mosses and ferns, eggs develop in archegonia, in flowering plants, in ovules localized in the ovary of a flower.

Biology

Complete guide to prepare for the exam

The Unified State Exam is a new form of certification that has become mandatory for high school graduates. Preparation for the Unified State Exam requires students to develop certain skills in answering the proposed questions and skills in filling out examination forms.

This comprehensive biology guide provides all the materials you need to prepare for the exam well.

1. The book includes theoretical knowledge of basic, advanced and high level knowledge and skills.

3. The methodological apparatus of the book (examples of assignments) is focused on testing the knowledge and certain skills of students in applying this knowledge both in familiar and in new situations.

4. The most difficult questions, the answers to which cause difficulties for students, are analyzed and discussed in order to help students cope with them.

5. The sequence of presentation of the educational material begins with "General Biology", tk. the content of all other courses in the examination work is based on general biological concepts.

At the beginning of each section, the CMMs for that section of the course are cited.

Then the theoretical content of the topic is presented. After that, examples of test items of all forms (in different proportions) encountered in the examination work are offered. Particular attention should be paid to terms and concepts that are italicized. They are, in the first place, checked in examination papers.

In a number of cases, the most difficult issues are analyzed and approaches to their solution are proposed. Answers to Part C contain only elements of the correct answer that will allow you to clarify information, supplement it, or provide other reasons for your answer. In all cases, these answers are sufficient to pass the exam.

The proposed tutorial in biology is addressed primarily to schoolchildren who decide to take the unified state exam in biology, as well as to teachers. At the same time, the book will be useful to all schoolchildren of the secondary school, because will allow not only to study the subject within the school curriculum, but also to systematically check its mastery.
