what is a different name for a cell membrane | plasma membrane |
phospholipid bilayer is made up of...? | 2 layers of phospholipids |
what are components of the plasma membrane? | 1.) phospholipid bilayer 2) transmembrane proteins 3) interior membrane 4) cell surface markers |
what are cell membrane interior proteins? | inside bilayer linked to cytoskeleton help give cell its shape |
what are plasma membrane cell surface markers? | outside bilayer ECM glycoproteins and glycolipids that serve to identify the cell |
what does the phospholipid bilayer allow? | allows hydrophobic non-polar molecules to pass through |
can hydrophilic molecules pass through a phospholipid bilayer? | ONLY IF very small |
what is squished in between the hydrophobic tails of phospholipid bilayer? | cholesterol molecules |
what do cholesterol molecule do in the phospholipid bilayer? | they decrease the mobility of the phospholipids to increase the strength of the cell membrane |
explain transmembrane proteins of the phospholipid bilayer | embedded in bilayer often go all the way through |
types of transmembrane proteins | transporter, enzyme and cell surface receptor |
what do holes formed by pores do? | allow hydrophilic molecules to pass through |
what do aquaporins allow? | water in and out of cells |
explain passive processes: | cell does NOT have to use its own energy(ATP) to move molecules through the membrane |
explain Active processes: | cell DOES use its own energy(ATP) to move molecules through the membrane |
what are passive processes always in the form of? | diffusion |
explain diffusion: | movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration |
explain simple/direct diffusion | diffusion of hydrophobic non polar molecules directly through phospholipid bilayer |
explain facilitated diffusion | diffusion of molecules through the plasma membrane using specific tansmembrane proteins that act as channels |
explain osmosis | diffusion of water ONLY |
explain selective permability | cells allow only certain molecules to go through them |
how do cells achieve permeability? | by determining what they want to makeup and make a channel/carrier for it |
explain solute | stuff you put in solvent |
explain solvent | what you put solute in |
explain hydrastatic pressure | the pressure the water INSIDE the cell put on the cell membrane |
explain somatic pressure | opposite force needed to stop water from entering the cell by osmosis |
explain tonicity | refers to what osmosis and the pressure it generates does to the cell |
isotonic | solution outside cell has the same salute as inside the cell (doesn't gain or lose) |
hypertonic | solution outside the cell is higher than the solute inside the cell (cell will shrink) |
Hypotonic | Solution outside the cell is lower (cell will grow or possibly burst) |
what are 3 types of tonicity | hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic |
antiporter | transports 2 types of molecules going opposite directions |
uniporter | transports just 1 type of molecule |
symporter | transports 2 different types of molecules going in the same direction |
phagocytosis | cell eats other cell |
pinocytosis | cell drinking solutes |
endocytosis | plasma membrane moves to take in large molecules particles or even cells |
explain receptor-mediated endocytosis | receptors decide what the cell needs |
explain exocytosis | proteins or other large molecules are packed in a vesicle for export out of the cell |
