| phagoctosis | cell consumes a solid |
| pinocytosis | cell drinks a liquid |
| exterior glycoproteins | sends ligands to other cells to talk |
| ligand | travels to other cell, docked at glycoprotein, gives message |
| receptor site | where ligand docks |
| autocrine communication | cell talks to itself, ligand docks at own glycoprotein |
| paracrine communication | cell talks to neighbor |
| endocrine communication | ligand goes into bloodstream to talk to far away cell |
| MHC | ID tags- every cell type has unique glycoproteins. how white blood cell checks for strangers |
| enzymes | specialized glob proteins that control chemical reactions |
| catalyst | enzyme changes stuff in substrate |
| substrate | what enzymes bind to |
| active site | part of enzyme that actually binds to substrate |
| turnover number | reactions per minute that 1 enzyme can catalyze |
| regulating enzymes | enzyme control system |
| competitive inhibitors | bind to active site on enzyme and turn it off forever |
| noncompetitive inhibitors | bind to other parts of enzymes to slow it down temporarily |
| cofactors | minerals |
| coenzymes | vitamins |
| hydrolase | does hydrolysis |
| lyase | breaks things down without water |
