bio 121- membranes

QuestionAnswer
compartmentalization
separating the inside and outside of a cell
plasma membrane involved in cell communication. defines our cell
pure lipids liposomes
cholesterol increase rigidity decrease fluidity
endoplsmic reticulum synthesis of lipids
fluidity of a lipid bilayer depends on composition
membrane assembly begins endoplasmic reticulum
outer leaflet site of phospholipid and cholesterol production
glycolipids short carbohydrate chains
intergral proteins hydrophobic regions can pass through lipid of membrane
membrane protiens 2% of molecule but 50% of memebrane weight
golfi complex determines membrane structure
actin microfilaments supports cell cortex
glycolipids 5% membrane lipids
membrane is reinforced by the underlying cell cortex
transmembrane protiens completely pass through hydrophobic regions
spectin cellular cortex
intergral proteins extracellular matrix
provides ID tag sugars / carbs
add carbohydrate moadity to phospholipids golfi
protein synthesis rough er
ions never go through plasma membrane
completely non polar can go through plasma membrane
aquaporien water through plasma membrane
small can get through plasma membrane because it’s small
large and charged can’t go through
membrane potential difference in charge across plasma membrane
fixed anion counteracts phosphate group
potassium channel most important ion channel
leaky phosphate channel resting membrane potential
why is molecular oxygen non polar it is symmetrical
potassium has a low concentration
sodium is drawn to outer leaflet
transporters and channels don’t need atp
guides movement concentration
ion channels move faster
channels allow hydrophilic movement
transporters move solutes
mechanisms passive and active transport
passive - no atp simple diffusion - molecular oxygen
active transport movement against concentration gradient
osmosis movement of water down its gradient
hydrostatic pressure stops osmosis
osmosis movement of water down its own conversation gradient
increase permeability increase protein channels
osmolarity number of osmoles per liter of solution
hypotonic absorb water
phagocytosis white blood cells - unique regulated
pinocytosis every cell in body not regulated
endocytisis phagocytosis pintosis
endocytosis white blood cells receptor mandated endocytosis regulated
exocytosis ca2+ regulated exocytosis

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
