Bio Test 3

Membrane and Cell potential

QuestionAnswer
Membranes Boundary that seperates the Cell from its nonliving surroundings.
Selective Permeability Allows some substances to cross, but not others
Other Membranes Have the same principle of traffic in internal membranes of eukaryotic cell
Cellular Membranes Lipds and proteins make up the membrane, phospholipids are most abundant
Amphipathic Hydrophillic and hydrophobic section like phospholipids and protiens
Fluid Model Proteins attached or embedded in a phospholipid bilayer
Sandwich model A phospholipid bilayer between two layers of proteins
What are the two problems of a sandwich model? Generalization that all cell membranes were identical and the placement of proteins do not varry...in reality they do
What holds membranes together? Hydrophobic interactions, weaker than covalent bonds
Phospholipids moves in what way? Side to side
What happens to the membrane as the temperature decreases? Becomes fluid
How can the membrane remain fluid at a lower temperature? Have unsaturated tails
Where is cholestrol in the cell? Wedged between phospholipids
What does cholestrol do for the cell? It is a temperature buffer, packs phospholipids together and makes membrane more solid
Warm temp of cholestrol does... restrain movement of phoospholipids--less fluid membrane
Cool temp of cholestrol does... Inhibits closer packing of phospholipids--more fluid
Proteins are where with respect to the mosiac model? They are the mosiac part, they determine the function
Integral proteins: Inside cell, have hydrophillic outside cell, hydrophic, in cell membrane
Peripheral protiens: Appendages bound in suface of membrand
What are the six functions of the membrane protein? 1) Transport 2) Enzymic activity (Metabolic pathway) 3) Signal Transduction (delays message) 4) recogniztion (Glycoproteins serve as ID 5)Intercellular joining--Gap or right junc hook 6)Attach cskel and ECM--proteins coordinate xchange, maintains shape
How do carbs aid in cell-Cell recognition Their location in cell...
Carbs Surface molecules in plasma membrane
Glycolipids Covently bonded lipids and carbs
Glycoproteins: Covalently bonded proteins and carbs
Cytoplasmic: Inside
Extracellular Outside
N terminus Outside
C Terminus Inside
What happens when a vesicle fuses? The inside and outside switch
What do the Golgi and Er do? Synthesice proteins and lipids
Supramolecular Structure: Many molecules that make up a more organized structure
Hydrophobic and permeability Nonpolar--Pass with ease through membrane...such as CO2, Oxygen
Hydrophillic and permeability Polar--Pass slowly, such as sugars
Transport Proteins Allow hydrophillic proteins to pass through cell
Channel Proteins Has a hydrophillic channel that allows ions through
Carrier Proteins: Need ATP, change chape and hold substance in a way that lets them shuttle through membrane--Used for glucose
How does the movement of substances works in a carrier protein It is down a concentration gradient
Passive Transport Diffusion of substance accross membrane without ATP, down a concentration gradient--Such as simple diffusion, osmosis, facillitated diffusion
Diffusion Spreading out evenly in cell
Faccilliated Diffusion: Passive transport aided by integral proteins
What are the three rules of diffusion? 1) Down Gradient 2) No ATP needed 3) Unaffected by other transport
Osmosis: Movement of water accross semi-permeable membrane
Osmoregulation Water Balance
Tonicity: Gain and loss of water
Isotonic Solute concentrate outsie cell equal to that in the inside
Hypertonic (Acritic) Solutes outside greater than inside (cell gain Water)
Hypotonic Solute outside less than inside (cell loses water)
Animal cells are happy when they are Hyper, Iso, or Hypo? When they are Isotonic
What has plant cell walls? Plants, fungi, prokaryotes, and protists
Turgid: Solic, happy in this form.
Flaccid: cell unhappy when it is hypertonic or isotonic
Active Transport: Uses ATP and carrier proteins to move solutes against concentration gradient
How does active transport work? The way the Sodium potasium pump works.
What is the first step of the sodium potasium pump? 1) 3 sodiums bind to carrier protein, a phosphate (creating ADP) is broken and this releases energy for the process of changing the shape of the pump
What is the second step of the sodium potasium pump? Two potasium ion enter the pump and trigger the release of the phosphate, which changes the shape of the pump, and allows it to release the potasium on the inside....this cycle repeats itself
Membrane Potential: Voltage accross the membrane
Voltage: Electrical Potential
What is the charge of the inside of the cell: Negative
What does the fact that the cell is ---------- charged do for the cation anion interaction? Cations go in cell, anions come out
What are the two forces that drive diffusion? 1) Chemical forces (ion's concentration gradient) 2) Electrical Force (effect of membrane potential)
Electrochemical gradient: Ions diffuse down this gradient based on the two forces that drive diffusion so that cell potential is maintaned
Electrogenic Pumps: and give an example in plants and animal cells Generates voltage using a carrier protein and requires ATP: The sodium potasium pump in animals: and the Proton (H+ pump) in plants, fungi, bacteria
Cotransport: A solute transport allows another solte to transport indirectly
Bulk Transport: The way macromoleclues travel through membrane
Exocytosis: Transport vesicles move to membrane, fuse with it, and release contents
What are the three steps of Exocytosis? 1) Budding of Golgi and move along mictrotubles 2) Lipid molecules of bilayers rearenge to allow fusion 3) Spill contents and become part of membrane (Example: Hormone insulin)
Endo Cytosis: Takes in macromolecules by forming new vesicles from membrane: Outside becomes inside
What are the three types of endocytosis? Phagoctosis (particle is surrounded by a vacuole--digested when hyrophillic enzyme of a lysosome fuses with it. PinoCytosis: "Gulps fluids and cares about molecules dissolved in fluid" Receptor Endocytosis: Pit foms a vesicle of ligand moleculesm dissovle
Metabolism Total chemical reaction, manages meateria and energy resources of the cell
Cellular Respiration: Process of oxidizing food moleculles to carbon dioxide and water, releases ATP
Goal of the Cell: To make and convert Energy
Enzymes: Catalyzes metabolic pathway
Catabolic Pathway Breaking down molecules and releases energy (Cellular respiration)-------Downhill
Anabolic Pathway: Cosumes energy to make complicated molecules from simple ones (Bio synthetic) (Making a protein from an amino acid-----Uphill
Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion
Heat or Thermal: Kinetic energy of atoms or molecules
Potential energy: Energy possessed by matter
Chemical Energy: Potential energy available for rlease in a chemical reaction Ex) Glucose being high...fruit and vegetables
2 laws of Thermodynamics Energy can't be crated or deteroyed, but transferred, 2) Energy transfer increases entropy of universe
Entropy: Randomenss (rusting of car)
Enthalpy: Heat in a system
Free Energy: Energy able to do work under cellular conditions
What is the gibbs equation Delta G equals change in enthalpy minus temp change in entropy
When is the energy spontaneous When delta G is negative
