Question
Answer
  -allow cells to isolate themselves from the environment, this gives them control over their intracellular conditions  
🗑
lipid bilayer   phospholipids  
🗑
purpose of sphingolipids   alter electrical properties  
🗑
purpose of glycolipids   communication between cells  
🗑
purpose of cholesterol   increases membrane fluidity  
🗑
integral membrane proteins   tightly bound to the membrane, either embedded in bilayer or spanning entire bilayer. Consist of aplha helix passes or beta barrels  
🗑
peripheral proteins   weaker association to the bilayer. May have glycolipid anchor  
🗑
high membrane permeability for these molecules   gases and small uncharged polar molecules  
🗑
some membrane permeability for these molecules   water and urea  
🗑
no membrane permeability for these molecules   ions, large uncharged polar molecules, charged polar molecules  
🗑
Types of membrane protiens   -ATP-powered pump  
🗑
the 3 main types of membrane transport   -passive diffusion....use Gradient-facilitated diffusion...uses transport protiens and gradient-active transport...use ENERGY and transport protiens  
🗑
passive diffusion who and how   -lipid soluble molecules  
🗑
membrane potential   electrical gradient across a cell membrane  
🗑
facilitated diffusion who and how   -hydrophobic molecules (amino acids, nucleosides, sugars)  
🗑
Ion channels   form pores-channel has to be open to work  
🗑
voltage gated ion channels   open in response to change in membrane potential  
🗑
ligand gated ion channels   open in response to binding of specific regulatory molecules  
🗑
mechanically gated ion channels   regulated through interaction with subcellular proteins  
🗑
porins   are like ion channels but for bigger molecules....ex aquaporin for H2O  
🗑
Permeases   function more like enzymes. Bind the substance and then undergoes a confirmation change which causes the carrier to release the substrate on other side....ex glucose permease  
🗑
GLUT1   -a uniporter of glucose  
🗑
some points on electrical gradients   -all transport processes affect chemical gradients  
🗑
electroneutral carriers   transport uncharged molecules or exchange a equal number of charged particles  
🗑
electrogenic carriers   transfer a charge ex NA+/K+ ATPase  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑


   

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.
