Medical Cell Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Components/character of a cell membrane   show
🗑
show Phosphotidylcholine, phosphotidylserine, phosphotidylethanolamine, phosphotidylinositol, and sphingomyelin  
🗑
Membrane lipids found in the outer leaflet   show
🗑
Membrane lipids found in the inner leaflet   show
🗑
Which membrane lipid should never be in the outer leafleat   show
🗑
Glycolipids   show
🗑
show Help maintain structural integrity of plasma membrane at extrem temperature. Less cholesterol = more fluidity. More cholesterol = more rigid.  
🗑
show Remodelling or repairing damage from endocytosis, exocytosis, oxidative damage, ROS attacking polyunsaturated fatty acids.  
🗑
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2)   show
🗑
PLA2 in arachidonic acid hydrolysis   show
🗑
show aspirin  
🗑
show PLC generates DAG for signal transduction. GPCR can activate PLC which then leads to the production of DAG and IP3  
🗑
Flippase   show
🗑
show ATP independent. Ca+2 activated. Always flip things from inside to outside. Brings PS on the outer surface  
🗑
What is the consequence of a non functioning Ca+2 ATpase   show
🗑
show minimal PS exposure  
🗑
show Exposure of PS on outer surface In case of sickle cell anemia, PS should not be on the outer leaflet. This causes cells to stick together  
🗑
show Region of cell membrane where lipids and proteins enriched. Decreased membrane cholesterol leads to melting of lipid raft  
🗑
Lipids   show
🗑
show Integral membrane proteins don't flip flop. They can either be single pass or multipass  
🗑
show Membrane spanning region: hydrophobic. Regions in cytosol and outside cell: hydrophilic. Example glycophorin A  
🗑
Multi-pass integral membrane proteins   show
🗑
Peripheral Membrane Protein   show
🗑
Diffusion   show
🗑
show Water movement (hyperosmotic, hypoosmotic, iso-osmotic)  
🗑
show Used for transport of water, leading cause of cataract in children, Integral membrane proteins, Defects can lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, congenital cataracts in children  
🗑
Donnan Effect   show
🗑
show Na+/K+ATpase by pumping out 3 Na+ ions and take 2K+  
🗑
show Facilitated transport is required when molecules are too large.  
🗑
GLUT   show
🗑
show Primary and Secondary Active transport  
🗑
Primary active transport   show
🗑
show Movement of molecule 1 across a membrane using free energy derived from transport of molecules 2 down the electrochemical gradient; co-transport  
🗑
Primary Active Transport   show
🗑
Ouabain and digitalis   show
🗑
show Same direction. Example Na/Glucose (or amino acid) symport (SGLT)  
🗑
show Opposite direction. Example: Na/Ca  
🗑
CFTR defect   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
