Question
Answer
a model of the general structure of the plasma membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins   fluid mosaic model  
🗑
plasma membrane is about 50% ___ and 50% ___   protein and lipid  
🗑
having both polar and non polar parts are called   amphipathic  
🗑
many proteins and lipids are   amphipathic  
🗑
phospholipids of the membrane lipids form a bilayer (a head that is__ and tails that are ___)   head is hydrophilic and tails are hydrophobic  
🗑
___ is a stabilizing component of the lipid membrane   cholesterol  
🗑
isolation of cellular contents and a source of local chemical mediatiors is a function of   membrane lipids  
🗑
structure of the membrane proteins most are __ some are __ shaped   globular and alpha helical  
🗑
membrane proteins location: 70% are __ and 30% are ___   integral (intrinsic) and peripheral (extrinsic)  
🗑
membrane transport, cellula communication and enqumatic control are functions of   the membrane proteins  
🗑
a fuction of membrane proteins that acts as receptors for regulatory molecules is called   cellular communication  
🗑
cellular recognition of membrane proteins is a function of   cellular communication  
🗑
the plasma membrane is ___ permeable or ____-permeable   selectively permeable or semi-permeable  
🗑
what is permitted by the plasma membrane   small lipid soluble molecules  
🗑
what 3 things are not permitted through the plasma membrane   polar molecules, inorganic molecules (lipid insoluble) and charged atoms/molecules  
🗑
water filled pores that extend across the membrane allowing the passive movement of solute across the membrace   channel proteins  
🗑
__ allow movement of ions or small polar molecules via simple diffusion   no regulated channels (pores)  
🗑
___ regulate the movement of ions or small polar molecules (movement via simple diffusion)   regulated channels (gates)  
🗑
2 types of regulated channels are   chemical regulated and voltage regulated channels  
🗑
bind specific solutes on one side of the membrane and transfer them to the other   carrier proteins  
🗑
unstable and change shape, and made up of at least 2 molecules are characteristics of   carrier proteins  
🗑
binding may trigger a conformational change that allows exposure of bound substance to cell's interior are   carrier proteins  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
