🗑
enzyme   catalyst - SPEEDS reaction without being used!  
🗑
membrane lipids (2)   phospholipid or cholesterol (steroid)  
🗑
Membrane proteins (2)   integral or peripheral  
🗑
polypeptide bonds have a structure   primary-secondary-tertiary- which affect they way they sit in the plasma membrane - an integral protein can orient itself  
🗑
Membran proteins are different kinds (6)   markers, attachment sites, channels, receptors, enzymes, or carriers  
🗑
marker molecules - 2 functions   Identify one another & other molecules 2. Communicate between cells  
🗑
golgi apparatus   "packages" proteins for internal use or secretion  
🗑
Does every cell have a golgi appartus?   no - Ex. not in muscle cells  
🗑
What does the Golgi apparatus look like?   a stack of pancakes  
🗑
mitochondria   produce energy - using oxygen - Ex. yeast makes suger, leaves alcohol  
🗑
flagella   sperm  
🗑
cilia   hair-like - MOVE - in esophagus  
🗑
microvilli -   Extensions of plasma membrane - increase surface area - do not move  
🗑
Marker molecules   glycoprotein & glycolipids -  
🗑
What are marker molecules for?   1.) Allow cells to IDENTIFY one another & other molecules 2.) Allow Intercellular communication & recognition  
🗑
What is another name for glycoproteins & glycolipids?   Marker molecules  
🗑
integrins are also called   attachments sites  
🗑
Integrins work as   "integrin twins" two work to form a key for extracellular molecules  
🗑
Attachment proteins (name two)   cadherins - integrins  
🗑
Cadherins   integral glycoprotein - binds with calcium  
🗑
What is a "cad"herin?   acts as SUPPRESSOR of epithelial tumor cells-can be shut off & start tumors  
🗑
a "CAD" stays attached   Cadherins in zonula adherens-communicate with other cells  
🗑
Integrins might recognize (example)   collagen  
🗑
Channel proteins (3)   nongated - gated - voltage gated  
🗑
Voltage gated Ex.   skeletal muscle - cells will open for acetylcholine - Na+ channel  
🗑
what is the chemical GGGGGate called?   Ligand think "liGGGGAAAAnd"  
🗑
Receptor proteins   membrane proteins that attach to specific ligands - coordinates cell communication  
🗑
receptor proteins-linked to G protein complex   "GEE!" Ex. epinephrine - adrenal glands release-body reacts - heartbeat increases  
🗑
Enzymes -function   enzymes - CATALYST - remains unchanged  
🗑
Enzymes   Latin - "leaven" example PEPSIN in stomach  
🗑
Selectively permeable membrane   only certain substances - small, nonpolar & uncharged  
🗑
What can diffuse through the plasma membrane?   Molecules that are soluble in lipids (oxygen, carbon dioxide & steroids) also UREA  
🗑
Membrane channels (3)   sodium, potassium & chloride  
🗑
Carrier molecules   Large - polar molecules need Carriers - like the Polar "star" - (book showed star-shaped molecule binding to carrier  
🗑
What are carriers like?   Carriers like POLAR bears & specific wares (ex. glucose binds only to glucose carrier- aminio acid to amino acid carrier)  
🗑
How do substance move across the plasma membrane?   1. Directly 2. membrane channels 3. carrier molecules 4. vesicles  
🗑
diffusion   No confusion - movement of solutes from area of higher concentration to area of lower concentration in solution Ex. salt crystal (high concentration of salt) dissolves in water until it is diffused  
🗑
Waht is the concentration gradient?   Higher concentration (cube of salt) to lower concentration (salty water)  
🗑
how do you obtain the concentration gradients?   The concentration difference between two points - divided by the distance between two points  
🗑
Where is the concentration gradient highest? lowest?   salt ions move down their concentration gradient (from a cube of high concentration) toward an area of low concentration (the surrounding water)  
🗑
Osmosis   movement of water ONLY from HIGH water concentration - to low water concentration  
🗑
Osmotic pressure   force required to PREVENT movement of water by osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane.  
🗑
The greater the concentration of a solution (osmotic pressure)   the greater the osmotic pressure (because water will move into the solution to equalize the water/solute balance)  
🗑
Iso   Gr. prefix meaning "equal"  
🗑
isotonic   cells neither swell nor shrink in solution  
🗑
tonicity   In an isotonic solution, the shape of the cell remains constant, maintaining its internal tension or tone  
🗑
crenation   a notch - denoting the outline of a shriveled red blood cell in hyper tonic solution  
🗑
hypertonic   hyper = crenation - Hypertonic solution - water moves OUT of cell to diffuse into high solute solution  
🗑
Hypotonic   too much water outside cell - moves into cells-it bursts  
🗑
hypo   prefix meaning deficient, below normal Gr. hypo-under  
🗑
hyper   Gr. above - meaning excessive, above normal  
🗑
lyse   burst-to break up  
🗑
filtration   small holes - sieve - Ex. kidney  
🗑
mediated transport mechanisms   carrier proteins or channels for large, water-soluble molecules or electrically charged molecules  
🗑
Mediated transport mechanisms   1. specificity 2. competition 3. saturation  
🗑
saturated carrier protein   ex. glucose - too many molecules mean cell cannot hold more  
🗑
secondary active transport   active transport of a ion such as sodium,  
🗑
Active transport - molecules move from Low   to High (AGAINST the concentration gradient)  
🗑
What do you need for active transport?   ATP - AAAAgainst gradients - from lower to higher  
🗑
Why is it important to go from lower to higher?   they can concentrate substances many times greater than the other side  
🗑
sodium-potassium pump    
🗑
secondary active transport   When sodium is moved out of cell, it has a tendency to move back in - so they can also bring in a friend Ex. Glucose "rides" salt in the intestine  
🗑
cotransport or symport   Movement in same direction-secondary active transport  
🗑
antiport   secondary active transport where movement is in opposite direction  
🗑
membrane assisted transport   endocytosis & exocytosis - "Pinching" membrane to form vesicles or opening membrane to release  
🗑
recpetor-mediated endocystosis   hypercholesterolemia - "hyper" cholesterol gets into bloodstream - accumulates & can cause atherosclerosis  
🗑
