Inside the LivingCell: Structureand

Functionof Internal Cell PartsCytoplasm: The Dynamic, MobileFactory

细胞质:动力工厂

Most of the propertieswe associatewithlife areproperties of the cytoplasm.Much of the mass of a cell consistsof this semifluid substance, whichisbounded on theoutside bythe plasmamembrane.Organelles are suspended within it,supported by the filamentous network ofthe cytoskeleton. Dissolvedin thecyt oplasmic fluidare nutrients,ions,solubleproteins, an dothermaterials needed for cell functioning.

生命的大部分特征表现在细胞质的特征上。细胞质大部分由半流体物质组成,并由细胞膜(原生质膜)包被。细胞器悬浮在其中,并由丝状的细胞骨架支撑。细胞质中溶解了大量的营养物质,离子,可溶蛋白以及维持细胞生理需求的其它物质。

The Nucleus:Information Central(细胞核:信息中心)

Theeukaryotic cell nucleus isthelargest organelle andhousesthe geneticmaterial (DNA) onchromosomes.(In prokaryotes the hereditarymaterial isfound in the nucleoid.)Thenucleusalso contains o ne or two organelles-thenucleoli-thatplay arole in c elldivision.A pore-perforated sac called thenuclear envelope separates the nucleus and itscontentsf rom the cytoplasm.Small moleculescan passthro ugh the nuclear envelope,but largermolecules such as mRNAand ribosomes must enter and exit via the pores. 真核细胞的细胞核是最大的细胞器,细胞核对染色体组有保护作用(原核细胞的遗传物质存在于拟核中)。细胞核含有一或二个核仁,核仁促进细胞分裂。核膜贯穿许多小孔,小分子可以自由通过核膜,而象mRNA 和核糖体等大分子必须通过核孔运输。

Organelles:Specialized Work Units(细胞器:特殊的功能单位)

ized function in the cell. Organellesdescribed in thissecti onincluderibosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum,the Golgi complex,vacuoles, lysosomes, mitochondria, and the plastidsof plant cells.

所有的真核细胞都含有多种细胞器,每个细胞器都有其特定功能。本节主要介绍核糖体,内质网,高尔基体系,液泡,溶酶体,线粒体和植物细胞中的质体。

The number of ribosomes within a cell may range from afew hundred to manythousands. This quantity reflect sthe fact that,ribosomes are the sitesat which amino acidsare assembled into proteinsfor export or for use in cell processes. A complete ribosome is composed of one larger andone smaller subunit. During protein synthesis the two subunits move along a strand of mRNA,"reading"the genetic sequence codedin it and translating that sequence into protein. Several ribosomesmaybecome attachedtoasingle mRNAstrand;such a combinationis called a polysome. Most cellularproteins are manufactured on ribosomesin the cytoplasm.Exportable proteins and membraneproteins are usuallymade inassociation with theendoplasmic reticulum.

核糖体的数量变化从几百到几千,核糖体是氨基酸组装成蛋白质的重要场所。完整的核糖体由大亚基和小亚基组成。核糖体沿着mRNA 移动并阅读遗传密码,翻译成蛋白质。一条mRNA上可能有多个核糖体,称多聚核糖体。大多数细胞蛋白是由细胞质中核糖体生产。输出蛋白和膜蛋白通常与内质网有关。

The endoplasmic reticulum, a lacyarray of membranous sacs, tubules,and vesicles, maybe either rough(RER) or smooth (SER).Both typesplay roles in the synthesisandtransport of proteins.The RER, which isstudded withpolysomes,also seems to be the source of thenuclear envelope after a cell pides.

内质网,带有花边的生物囊,有管状,泡状之分,以及光滑和粗糙面区别。两种都与蛋白质的合成和运输有关。粗糙内质网上分布许多核糖体,也可能提供细胞分裂后所需的细胞膜。

SER lackspolysomes; it is activeinthe synthesis o ffatsand steroids andin theoxidation of toxicsub stances in thecell.Both types of endoplasmic reticulumserve as compartments within the cell wherespecificproducts can be isolated and subsequently shunted toparticular areasin or outsidethe cell.

光滑内质网上无核糖体,主要作用是脂肪和类固醇的合成以及细胞内有毒物质的氧化。两种内质网合成的产物在其中进行分流或运输到细胞外。

Transportvesicles maycarry exportable mole culesfromthe endoplasmic reticulum toanother membranousorganelle, theGolgi complex.Withinth eGolgi complex molecules are modified andpackaged for exportout ofthe cell or for delivery else wherein thecytoplasm.

运输小泡能够将可运输分子从内质网运输到高尔基复合体上。在高尔基复合体中修饰,包装后输出细胞或传递到细胞质中的其他场所。

Vacuolesin cellsappeartobe hollow sacs but are actually filled with fluid andsoluble molecules. T he mostprominentvacuolesappearin plantce lls and serve as water reservoirs andstoragesitesfor sugars and other molecules. Vacuolesin anima lcells carry out phagocytosis (the intakeof particulat ematter) andpinocytosis(vacuolar drinking).

细胞中的液泡好象是中空的,但实际上充满了液体和可溶分子。最典型的液泡存在于植物细胞中,储备水,糖以及其它分子。动物中的液泡起吞噬和胞饮作用。

Asubset ofvacuolesare the organelles knownaslysosomes, which contain digestiveenzymes (packaged in lysosomes in theGolgi complex) that can breakdown most biological macromolecules. They act todigestfood particles andtodegrade damaged cellparts.

溶酶体是液泡亚单位,含有消化酶,降解大部分生物大分子。消化食物微粒和降解损伤的细胞残片。

Mitochondria are the sites ofenergy-yielding chemical reactions in all cells.In addition, plant cellscontain plastids that utilizelight energy to manufacture carbohydrates in theprocess ofphotosynthesis. It is on the large surface area provided by the i nnercristae ofmitochondriathat ATP-generatingenzymes are located. Mitochondriaare self-replicatin g, andprobably theyare theevolutionary descendantsof what wereoncefree-livingprokaryotes.

线粒体是细胞中化学产能的场所。另外,植物细胞中的质体在光合作用中利用光能产生碳水化合物,线粒体内嵴上提供了很大的表面积并分布着产ATP酶。线粒体自我复制,并且可能是自由生活的原核生物在进化中形成的后代。

Thereare two typesofplastids:leucoplasts, whichlackpigments and serve asstorage sites for starch, proteins,and oils; and chromoplasts, which co ntainpigments. Themost importantchromoplasts a re chloroplasts-organelles that contain the chlorophyll used in photosynthesis.The internal structure of chloroplastsincludesstacks of membranes called grana, whichareembedded in a matrix calledthestroma.

质体有两种类型:白色体,缺乏色素,是淀粉,蛋白质和油的储备场所;色质体,含有色素。叶绿体是最重要的色质体,含有与光合作用有关的叶绿素。叶绿体的内部结构是由多层膜形成的叶绿体基粒,其中包埋在基质中的基粒称子座。

The Cytoskeleton(细胞骨架)

Asecond protein,myosin, is involvein the contractionof musclecells.Anothermain structural component ofthecytoskeleton consists of microtubules,whichare composedoftheglobular proteintubulin and toget her act as scaffolding that provides astable cell shape. Cytoskeletal intermediate filamentsappear to impart tensile strength to the cellcytoplasm. Mechanoenzymes such as myosin, dynein,and kinesin interact with the cytoskeletalfilaments and tubules to generate forcesthat cause movements.

所有的细胞都有细胞骨架,网络结构的纤丝充满了它所能触及的全部空间并且对细胞器提供支持作用。细胞骨架大部分由微丝组成,微丝主要由可收缩的肌动蛋白组成。动植物细胞的许多种类型细胞内运动与肌动蛋白有关。第二类蛋白是肌球蛋白,它与肌肉细胞的收缩有关。细胞骨架的另一个主要结构成分是微管,由球状的微管蛋白组成,象脚手架一般维持细胞的稳定形态。细胞骨架的中间丝提供了细胞质伸缩动力。机械酶,例如,肌球蛋白,动力蛋白,驱动蛋白与微丝,微管相互作用产生动力而引起细胞运动。

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis occursonly in the chlorophyllchlo rophyll叶绿素-containing cells ofgreen plants,algae 藻,and certain protists 原生生物and bacteria.Overall, it is a processthat converts light energy into chemical energy that is stored inthe molecular bonds. Fromthe po int ofviewofchemistry and energetics, it is the opposite of cellular respiration. Whereas 然而cellular细胞的respiration 呼吸ishighlyexergonic吸收能量的andreleasesenergy, photosynthesis光合作用requires energyandishighly endergonic.

光合作用只发生在含有叶绿素的绿色植物细胞,海藻,某些原生动物和细菌之中。总体来说,这是一个将光能转化成化学能,并将能量贮存在分子键中,从化学和动能学角度来看,它是细胞呼吸作用的对立面。细胞呼吸作用是高度放能的,光合作用是需要能量并高吸能的过程。Photosynthesis starts with CO2andH2Oas raw materials and proceeds through two sets of partial reactions. In thefirst set, called the light-dependent reactions, watermoleculesaresplit裂开(oxidized),02is relea sed, and ATP and NADPHare formed.Thesereactionsmust take placeinthepresence of在面前ligh tenergy. In the secondset, calledlight-independent reactions, CO2is reduced(via the addition of H atoms)to carbohydrate. These chemical events rel yon the electron carrier NADPH and ATP generated by t he first setof reactions.

How Light Energy Reaches PhotosyntheticCells(光合细胞如何吸收光能的)

Theenergy in light photons in the visible part of the spe ctrum can be captured by biologicalmolecules to do co nstructive work. Thepigment chlorophyll in plant cel ls absorbs photons withinaparticular absorption spectrumsstatement ofthe amount oflight absorbed by chlorophyll atdifferentwavelengths. When lightis absorbed it alters the arrangement of electrons in the absorbing molecule.The addedenergy ofthe photon bo osts theenergy condition of the molecule from astable stateto a less-stable excitedstate.Durin gthe light-dependent reactionsofphotosynthesis, asthe absorbing moleculereturns to the ground state, the "excess" excitation energy istransmitted to other moleculesandstoredas chemical energy.

The last acceptorin the chain is theP700re action center of photosystemⅠ. At this point incoming photonsboostthe energy oftheelectrons,and they are acceptedby ferredoxin. Ferredoxin is thenre oxidized, andthe coenzymeNADP+is reduced to the NADPH. The ATP generated previously and the NADPH then take partin the lightindependentreactions.

光反应的光系统将光能转化成化学复合物ATP和NADPH。当光激活光系统Ⅱ的光反应中心时,通过一系列的氧化还原反应实现能量的传递。反应开始时,水被分解,氧被释放并提供电子。电子首先传递给质体醌,然后通过一系列载体形成的电子传递链。每传递4个电子,

The one-way flo wofelectronsthrough photosystems II andI is called noncyclic photophosphorylation;plants also derive a dditional ATP through cyclicphotophosphorylation,in which some electrons are shunted backthrough the electrontransport chain between photosystemsⅡ andⅠ.

由电子传递链偶连产生ATP的过程称为光合磷酸化。通过光合系统Ⅱ流经光合系统Ⅰ的电子路径称非循环式光合磷酸化;植物通过循环式光合磷酸化获得额外的ATP,一些电子在光合系统Ⅰ和Ⅱ之间的电子传递链中回流。

The Light-Independent Reactions:Building Carbohydrates

Inthe light-independent reactionsof photosynthesis, which are driven by ATP and NADPH, C02is converted to carbohydrate. The reactionsare also known as the Calvin-Benson cycle.AtmosphericCO2, is fixed as it reactswith ribulose biphosphate (RuBP), a reaction that iscatalyzedbythe enzyme ribulosebiphosphate carboxylase.Thereduction OfC02tocarbohydrate(fructose diphosphate) is completed via severalmoresteps ofthe cycle. Finally, RUBPis regenerated sothat thecyclemaycontinue.
