| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
