From inorganic substances of cells water makes up about 65% of its mass: in young fast-growing cells up to 95%, in old cells - about 60%. The role of water in cells is very large, it is a medium and a solvent, and is involved in most chemical reactions, movement of substances, thermoregulation, formation cellular structures, determines the volume and elasticity of the cell. Most substances enter and exit the body in an aqueous solution.

Organic matter - make up 20-30% of the cell composition. They may be simple(amino acids, glucose, fatty acids) And complex(proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, lipids). Most important have proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids.

Proteins are the main and most complex substances any cell. The size of a protein molecule is hundreds and thousands of times larger than the molecules of inorganic compounds. Protein molecules are formed from simple compounds - amino acids (in natural proteins contains 20 amino acids). Uniting in different sequence and quantity they form great variety(up to 1000) proteins. Their role in the life of the cell is enormous: building material body, catalysts (enzyme proteins accelerate chemical reactions), transport (blood hemoglobin delivers oxygen and nutrients and carries away carbon dioxide and decomposition products). Proteins perform protective function, energy. Carbohydrates are organic substances consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The simplest of them are monosaccharides - hexose, fructose, glucose (found in fruits, honey), galactose (in milk) and polysaccharides - consisting of several simple carbohydrates. These include starch and glycogen. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for all forms of cellular activity (movement, biosynthesis, secretion, etc.) and play the role of reserve substances. Lipids are water-insoluble fats and fat-like substances. They are the main structural component biological membranes. Lipids perform an energy function and contain fat-soluble vitamins. Nucleic acids - (from Latin word“nucleus” - nucleus) - are formed in the nucleus of the cell. They come in two types: deoxy ribonucleic acids(DNA) and ribonucleic acids (RNA). Biological role there are very many of them. They determine the synthesis of proteins and the transmission of hereditary information.

Cells contain inorganic and organic substances (compounds).

Inorganic substances of the cell- this is water, various mineral salts, carbon dioxide, acids and bases.

Inorganic substances of the cell

Water

(accounts for 70-80% of the cell mass)

Mineral salts
(make up 1-1.5% of the total cell mass)
  • gives the cell elasticity and volume;
  • universal solvent;
  • aqueous solutions form internal environment cells;
  • a means of transport for solutes into and out of the cell;
  • serves as a medium in which chemical reactions occur;
  • is an accelerator of many chemical processes;
  • provides heat capacity;
  • has high thermal conductivity;
  • participates in thermoregulation of living organisms.
  • present in the form of ions or solid insoluble salts;
  • create an acidic or alkaline reaction in the environment;
  • Ca2+ is part of bones and teeth, participates in blood clotting;
  • K+ And Na+ provide cell irritability;
  • Cl- part of gastric juice;
  • Mg 2+ found in chlorophyll;
  • I - component of thyroxine (hormone thyroid gland);
  • Fe 2+ is part of hemoglobin;
  • Cu, Mn, B participate in hematopoiesis, photosynthesis, and influence plant growth.

Water is an essential component of the contents of a living cell. Water gives the cell elasticity and volume, ensures consistency of composition, participates in chemical reactions and in the construction of organic molecules, and makes possible the occurrence of all vital processes of the cell. Water is a solvent for chemicals that move into and out of the cell.

Water(hydrogen oxide, H 2 O) - clear liquid, colorless (in small volumes), odor and taste. IN natural conditions contains dissolved substances (salts, gases). Water is of key importance in the life of cells and living organisms, in the formation of climate and weather.

The amount of water in the cell ranges from 60 to 95% of the total mass. The role of water in a cell is determined by its unique chemical and physical properties associated with the small size of molecules, their polarity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

Water as a component biological systems

  • Water is a universal solvent for polar substances - salts, sugars, acids, etc. It increases their reactivity, so most chemical reactions in the cell occur in aqueous solutions.
  • Non-polar substances are insoluble in water (hydrogen bonds do not form). Being attracted to each other, hydrophobic substances in the presence of water form various complexes (for example, biological membranes).
  • High specific heat water (i.e., absorbing a large amount of energy to break hydrogen bonds) ensures the maintenance heat balance body during changes in ambient temperature.
  • The high heat of vaporization (the ability of molecules to carry away a significant amount of heat when cooling the body) prevents overheating of the body.
  • High surface tension ensures the movement of solutions through tissues.
  • Water ensures the removal of metabolic products.
  • In plants, water maintains cell turgor; in some animals it performs supporting functions (hydrostatic skeleton).
  • Water is included in various biological fluids(blood, saliva, mucus, bile, tears, sperm, synovial and pleural fluids, etc.).

The water molecule has an angular shape: the hydrogen atoms form an angle of approximately 104.5° with respect to oxygen.

Due to the high electronegativity of the oxygen atom, the O–H bond is polar. The hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge, and the oxygen atoms carry a partial negative charge.

A dipole creates a magnetic field around itself at large distances compared to its size.

When water evaporates, breaking hydrogen bonds requires a lot of energy.

Water content in various organisms and organs (in%)
Plants or plant parts Animals or animal organs
Seaweed up to 98 Jellyfish up to 95
Higher plants from 70 to 80 Grape snails 80
Tree leaves from 50 to 97 Human body 60
Potato tubers 75 Human blood 79
Juicy fruits up to 95 Human muscles from 77 to 83
Woody parts of plants from 40 to 80 Human heart 70
Dry seeds from 5 to 9

Inorganic substances in the cell, except water, are represented by mineral salts.

Mineral salts make up only 1-1.5% of the total cell mass, but their role is significant. In dissolved form, they are a necessary medium for the chemical processes that determine the life of the cell.

Cells contain many different salts. Animals with help excretory system remove excess salts from the body, and in plants they accumulate and crystallize in various organelles or in vacuoles. More often these are calcium salts. Their shape in plant cells can be different: needles, rhombuses, crystals - single or fused together (drusen).

Salt molecules in an aqueous solution break down into cations and anions. Highest value have cations (K +, Na +, Ca 2+, Mg +, NH 4 +) and anions (Cl -, H 2 P0 4 -, HP0 4 2-, HC0 3 -, NO 3 -, SO 4 2-) .

The concentration of various ions is not the same in different parts of the cell, as well as in the cell and environment. The concentration of sodium ions is always higher outside the cell, and the concentration of potassium and magnesium ions is always higher inside the cell. The difference between the amounts of cations and anions inside the cell and on its surface ensures the active transfer of substances across the membrane.

The concentration of salts inside the cell depends on buffer properties cytoplasm - the ability of a cell to maintain a certain concentration hydrogen ions under conditions of constant formation of acidic and alkaline substances during metabolism.

Phosphoric acid anions create phosphate buffer system, maintaining the pH of the intracellular environment of the body at a level of 6.9.

Carbonic acid and its anions form a bicarbonate buffer system that maintains the pH of the extracellular environment (blood plasma) at 7.4.

Some ions are involved in the activation of enzymes, the creation of osmotic pressure in the cell, and in the processes muscle contraction, blood clotting, etc. A number of cations and anions are necessary for the synthesis of important organic substances.

2.3.1. Inorganic substances of the cell

The cell contains about 70 elements of Mendeleev's periodic table, 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;

microelements– B, Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, Mb, etc.;

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

Molecules that make up a cell inorganic And organic connections.

Inorganic compounds of the cell - water And inorganic ions.

Water is the most important inorganic substance of the cell. All biochemical reactions occur in aqueous solutions. The water molecule has a nonlinear spatial structure and has 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 that are soluble in water are called hydrophilic. Substances that are insoluble in water are called hydrophobic.

Water has a high specific heat capacity. To break the numerous hydrogen bonds present between water molecules, it is necessary to absorb large number energy. Remember how long it takes for a kettle to heat up to boiling. This property of water ensures the maintenance of thermal balance in the body.

To evaporate water, quite a lot of energy is required. 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 molecules of other substances. Thanks to the adhesive forces of molecules, a film is created on the surface of water with the following characteristics: surface tension.

When cooled, the movement of water molecules slows down. The number of hydrogen bonds between molecules becomes maximum. Water reaches its greatest density at 4 C?. When water freezes, it expands (needing space for hydrogen bonds to form) and its density decreases. That's why ice floats.

Biological functions of water. Water ensures the movement of substances in the cell and body, the absorption of substances and the removal 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 pleural cavity, in the pericardial sac.

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

Inorganic ions. Inorganic ions of the cell include: cations K +, Na +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, NH 3 + and anions Cl –, NO 3 -, H 2 PO 4 -, NCO 3 -, HPO 4 2-.

The difference between the number of cations and anions (Nа + , Ka + , Cl -) on the surface and inside the cell ensures the occurrence of an action potential, which underlies nervous and muscle excitation.

Anions phosphorus acids create phosphate buffer system, maintaining 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 environment (blood plasma) at a level of 7-4.

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