Question
Answer
Describe the characteristics of a phospholipid bilayer   water soluble compounds unable to pass through. important for maintaining Intra celluar fluid.  
🗑
what is 4 characteristics of a membrane?   -isolation -regulates enviromental exchange -sensitivity -structural support  
🗑
membrane carbohydrates:   proteogycans, gyloproteins, glycolipids and glycocalyx.  
🗑
Membrane proteins   integral membrane - encased in membrane. Transmembrane protiens. Peripherial proteins - inner or outter surface of membrane,  
🗑
Describe how proteins contribute to the structure and function of the cell membrane   Anchoring proteins –stabilise the cell Recognition proteins –immune response Enzymes –Peripheral and integral Channels –Gaps in membrane –Allows movement of water and ions –Molecule specific  
🗑
Explain why the cell membrane is more permeable to lipid soluble substances and small molecules than to large water-soluble substances    
🗑
Describe how the following mechanisms facilitate the transport of substances across cell membranes: –diffusion –osmosis –facilitated diffusion –active transport –endocytosis –exocytosis   endocytos- pinocytosis- cell drinking phagocytosis - cell eating  
🗑
Describe the effects of isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic solutions on cells   Isotonic solution(equal) –Same solute concentration inside cell vs outside Hypotonic solution (expand) –Solute concentration inside cell highe rvs outside Hypertonic solution (shrivel) –Solute concentration inside cell lower vs outside  
🗑
Describe how carbohydrates contribute to the structure and function of the cell membrane   –Lubrication and protection –Anchoring and locomotion –Specificity and binding –Recognition  
🗑


   

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.
