1.3, 1.4 Resources

QuestionAnswer
3 components of the plasma mebrane 1. phospholipids 2. cholesterol 3. membrane proteins
Describe a phospholipid composed of a phosphate group, glycerol molecule, and two fatty acid tails
Describe amphipathic having both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic region
Phospholipids become bilayers non-polar tail line up to face away from water while polar heads line up to face water
Peripheral proteins only on one side
Integral proteins extend through completely
Function of membrane proteins 1. transport 2. receptors 3. anchorage 4. cell recognition 5. intercellular joinings 6. enzymatic activity
Uses of cholesterol 1. reduces fluidity in different temperatures 2. reduces permeability of solutes
Davson-Danielli Model 1. phospholipid bilayer sandwiched between protein layers 2. no movement of materials 3. all membranes are not identical
Singer-Nicolson Model 1. proteins are embedded throughout the phospholipid bilayer 2. includes both integral and peripheral proteins
Plasma membrane phrases 1. semipermeable 2. selective
Concentration gradient potential difference in particle concentration from one area to another
3 types of passive transport 1. simple diffusion 2. facilitated diffusion 3. osmosis
Simple diffusion passive movement of small non-polar particles from high to low concentration
Facilitated diffusion large polar substances use transport proteins to move through cell membrane
Osmosis movement of water from an area of high concentration through a semipermeable membrane
Osmolarity measurement of solute concentration
Hypertonic solutions 1. more solute; less water 2. water leaves cell 3. cell shrinks
Hypotonic solutions 1. less solute; more water 2. water enters cell 3. cell grows
Isotonic solutions 1. equal solute and water 2. equal movement 3. cells stays the same size
Medical procedures where osmolarity is important 1. IV lines 2. organs and tissues in surgeries
Which axis on a graph determines a solution's concentration? x-axis
Formula of percent change (mass) of a substance ((final mass-initial mass)/initial mass)x100
Distinguish passive and active transport Passive: does not use ATP and goes with the concentration gradient Active: uses ATP and goes against the concentration gradient
Active transport 1. uses ATP 2. moves against the concentration gradient 3. uses a protein pump
Structure of sodium potassium pump carrier protein pump
Function of sodium potassium pump moves Na+ and K+ against a concentration gradient
Transportation of secretory proteins 1. secretory proteins made at Rough ER 2. placed in vesicle 3. packaged and modified at Golgi apparatus 4. placed in vesicle 5. move to plasma membrane 6. leave via exocytosis
What property of the cell membrane allows exocytosis and endocytosis to occur? fluidity
Exocytosis vesicle fuses with plasma membrane and contents are secreted out
Endocytosis materials are brought into the cell, creating a vesicle inside

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.
