| signal transduction protein | has binding site with shape that fits shape of a chemical messenger, can cause protein to change shape which relays message to inside the cell by binding to cytoplasm protein |
| attachment proteins | microfilaments/ cytoskeleton elements that are non covalently bonded to membrane proteins- maintain cell shape/location of membrane proteins, and can coordinate extra/intracellular changes. |
| carrier protein/do they allow any substances to pass through them | bind to molecules and change shape (close/open) to shuttle them across the membrane. They only move specific substances |
| plasmolysis | when a plant cells loses water to its surroundings and shrinks and its plasma membrane pulls away from the wall. causes it to wilt or die |
| what is voltage in terms of membranes and cells? which side of the cell membrane is typically -/+? | voltage is created by differences in the distribution of positive and negative ions across a membrane. cytoplasmic side= negative charge, extracellular side= positive charge |
| what is the membrane potential/ how it is useful for cell? | its the voltage difference across a membrane, used for cellular work (regions on inside (+), want out) ( regions on outside (-), want in). |

| plasmodesmata | channels between adjacent plant cells, water and small solutes (and sometimes proteins and RNA) can pass from cell to cell |
| tight junctions | membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid |
| gap junctions (communicating junctions) | provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells |
| desmosomes (anchoring junctions) | fasten cells together into strong sheets |
| Endomembrane system | organelles with a double membrane, regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell (Nuclear envelope, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Vacuoles, Plasma membrane) |
| Extracellular components | Plants: primary cell wall, middle lamella, secondary cell wall Animals: ECM, collagen, proteoglycans, fibronectin |
| Intercellular junctions examples | Plants: plasmodesmata Animals: tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions |
| explain the sodium potassium pump | 3 NA+ ions bind to pump, which cause hydrolysis of ATP, causes protein to change shape/flip to exterior, NA+ are released, 2 K+ bind, causing dephosphorylation, reverts to inward, released K+ (exports more charge than import) |
| glycolipids vs glycoproteins and their functions | surface molecules-identification tags for cell. vital for cell recognition, (allows immune system to distinguish between the body's own cells and foreign invaders), cell adhesion, (helps cells bind together to form tissues.) |
| nucleoid | region when cells DNA is (concentrated in a region that is not membrane enclosed) |
| cytoplasm | surrounds the nucleus and other organelles, filled with cytosol |
| ribosomes | complexes that make proteins according to instructions from genes |
| nucleus | contains most of the genes, controls activities, stores hereditary info |
| nuclear envelope | encloses the nucleus, separating its contents from the cytoplasm, double membrane, pore structured that lets some molecules out of the nucleus |
| nucleolus | structure within the non dividing nucleus, RNA is synthesized by instructions from Dna here |
| smooth er | makes lipids, metabolizes carbs, detoxes drugs, produces steroids |
| rough er | cells secrete proteins when their ribosomes are attached to it. when a polypeptide chain grows its threaded into it then begins to fold. is a membrane factory for a cell |
| golgi apparatus | warehouse for receiving sorting shipping and manufacturing, products from ER go here and then are sent to other destinations. raw products come in, finished come out |
| mitochondrian | site of cellular respiration, metabolic process that uses oxygen to generate atp |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
| peroxisomes | metabolic compartment, have enzymes that remove H atoms and transfer them to oxygen producing hydrogen peroxide |
| intermediate filaments | fibrous proteins coiled into thicker cables, maintains cell shape |
| cilia | microtube containing extensions that projects from cells, propel through water (oars) |
| flagella | microtube containing extensions that projects from cells, generates force like a tail |
| simple diffusion | passive transport, with gradient, small/non-polar molecules, no protein required |
| osmosis | diffusion of water, facilitated passive diffusion, with gradient, using aquaporins (channel protein), small/non-polar molecules |
| facilitated diffusion | passive transport, with gradient, uses carrier/channel proteins, charger, polar, big molecules |
| active transport | against gradient, uses ATP, carrier proteins and protein pump, ions, sugars etc |
| exocytosis | bulk transport, vesicles from golgi fuse with plasma memb releasing contents |
| hypertonic vs hypotonic vs isotonic | hypertonic- high solute, low h20 (shrivels) hypotonic- low solute, high h20 (expands) isotonic- equal h20/solute on both sides |
| unsaturated vs saturated fats effect on membrane fluidity | unasat- can remain fluid to lower temps sat- pack together, are more rigid at lower temps |
