Bio 361 part 4
sensory receptors
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 |
