| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is he molecule responsible for cell recognition and adhesion in sponges? | huge integral membrane glycoprotein |
| What is the role of Desmosomes? | to connect adjacent plasma membranes.They hold adjacent cells firmly together. |
| Each gap junction is made up of these? | specialized channel proteins, called connexons |
| Passive transport requires two types of diffusion, what are they called? | simple diffusion through the phospholipid bilayer, and facilitated diffusion through channel proteins or by means of carrier proteins. |
| What happens to molecules to which the membrane is permeable? | They diffuse from one compartment to the other until their concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane. |
| In osmosis, what are the three terms used to compare the solute concentration? | hypertonic, hypontonic, and istonic. |
| what are the three types of proteins invoved in active transport? | uniports, symports, and antiports. |
| what is the point of secondary active transport? | its a form of active transport which does not use ATP as an energy source; rather, transport is coupled to ion diffusion down a concentration gradient established by primary active transport. |
| what occurs in phagocytosis? | "cellular eating" part of the plasma membrane engulfs large particles or even entire cells |
| what is Receptor-mediated endocytosis used for? | it is used by animal cells to capture specific macromolecules from the cell's environment. This process depends on receptor proteins |
| what is the the initial event of Exocytosis? | is when the binding of a membrane protein coming from the cytoplasmic side of the vesicle with a membrane protein on the cytoplasmic side of the target site on the plasma membrane. |
