Chapter 8 Biology Membrane Structure and Function

Membrane
Structure of Animal cell's plasma membrane Fibers of extracellular matrix, glycoprotein, carbohydrate, glycolipid, filaments of cytoskeleton, cholesterol, peripheral protein, integral protein, cytoplasm on one side and extraccellular fluid on the other
Freeze fracture method When a researcher uses the freeze-fracture method the membrane proteins are the "bumps" after the layer of platinum is sprayed. It shows that proteins aren't spread across the surface, that they are embedded in the fluid bilayer
Basic Structure The hydrophilic region of the protein is facing the water along with the hydrophilic heads and the hydrophobic part of the protein is in the phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophobic tails. The proteins are interspersed throughout the membrane.
Fluid Mosaic The model of the membrane is shown as a mosaic of protein molecules bobbing in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids.
Phospholipids the most abundant lipids in most membranes. a phospholipid is an amphipathic molecule ( it has both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic region).
What membrane proteins do not very soluble in water, amphipathic. dispersed and individually inserted into the phospholipid bilayer.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
