A & P

QuestionAnswer
Basic structure of the cell 1. Plasma membrane 2. Cytoplasm - contains organelles 3. nucleus
Functions of the cell 1. Cell metabolism and energy use 2. synthesis of molecules 3. Communication 4. Reproduction and Inheritance
Cell Communication Produce and receive electrical and chemical signals
Cell Reproduction and Inheritance Each cell contains DNA. Some cells become gametes. DNA exchange during sexual intercourse
Plasma Membrane Separates intracellular and extracellular
Membrane Potential a charge across the membrane from intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations. Inside the membrane it is negatively charged
Glycocalyx 1. glycolipids= carbohydrates + lipids 2. glycoproteins= carbohydrates + proteins
Membrane Lipids Phospolipids and cholesterol
Phospholipids What makes up the bilayer of the cell -polar heads facing water- interior and exterior of the cell -non polar tails facing each other, interior of membrane
hydrophilic loves water
hydrophobic hates water
Cholesterol more cholesterol equals less fluid membrane
Membrane -has a fluid nature -Phospolipids automatically repair if membrane is damaged -membranes can fuse with each other -
Membrane proteins 1. Integral or intrinsic 2. Peripheral or extrinsic Functioning depends on 3-D shape and chemical characteristics
Integral or intrinsic -extend deeply into membrane, usually from side to other side -Can form channels
peripheral or extrinsic -Attached to integral proteins at either the inner or outer surfaces of the lipid bilayer
Marker Molecules -Glycoproteins and Glycolipids -Cells identify each other or other molecules -Immunity -recognition of oocyte by sperm cell -Intercellular communication
Attachment Proteins -Cadherins-cells to cells -Intergrins-integral proteins that attach to extracellular molecules -SOmetimes allows communication due to contact with intracelluar molecules
Transport Proteins 1. Channel Proteins 2. Carrier Proteins 3. ATP- Powered transport
Channel Proteins -Non-gated ion channels,always open -Plasma membrane permeable to a few ions when the plasma membrane is at rest
Gated ion channels -open/close by stimuli
Ligand gated ion channels opens -a small molecule binds to proteins or glycoproteins
voltage gated ion channels a change in charge across plasma membrane
Carrier protiens ( also called transporters) 1. Integral proteins
Integral Proteins move ions from one side of membrane to other -specific binding sites - proteins change shape then resume original shape
Forms of Carrier Proteins 1. Uniporters 2. Symporters 3. Antiporters
Uniporters moves one particle
Symporters move two particles in same direction at same time
Antiporters move two particles opposite directions at same time
ATP-Powered Transport -requires ATP -Rate of transport depends on concentration of substrate and ATP
Ezymes in Plasma Membrane -some act to catalyze reactions at outer/inner surface of plasma membrane -enzymes digest dipeptides -disaccharides digest sucrose
Receptor Proteins -have receptor cites and can attach to specific chemical signals -can act as intercellular communication system -chemical signals(ligands) attach only to cells a specific receptor
Receptors -linked to channel proteins -Attachment of receptor-specific chemical(acetylcholine) to receptors -Channel opens( and later closes) -Changes in permeability of cells
Receptors Linked to G protein Complex -Alter activity on inner surface of plasma membrane -Leadsto intracellular chemical signals, affects cell and some hormones
Movements through plasma membrane 1. Diffusion 2. Osmosis 3. Filtration 4. Mediated Transport -Facilitated diffusion -Active Transport -Secondary Active transport
Diffusion Movements of solutes in solution from a higher concentration to lower concentration
Concentration or density gradient different between two points
Viscosity how easily a liquid flows
Osmosis Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane - water moves from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration
Osmotic Pressure force required to prevent water from moving across a membrane by osmosis
isosmotic solutions with same concentrations of of solute particles
hyperosmotic solution with a greater concentration of solute
hyposmotic Solution with a lesser concentration of solute

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.
