Term
Definition
Cell Membrane   Separates ICF from ECF environment is semipermeable (selective ) which means that it allows certain substances across  
🗑
Phospholipids   Make up the cell membrane calling it the phospholipid bi-layer -makes the membrane semipermiable b/c of fatty acid tails -are amphipathic molecules containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions  
🗑
Structure of a phospholipid   contains 1 glycerol +2 fatty acids + phosphate + polar head group  
🗑
Substances that can cross the cell membrane   Lipid soluble substances like gases and cholesterol can easily pass through ex) estrogen non polar molecules ex) CO2 &O2  
🗑
Substances that CANNOT cross the cell membrane   ions cannot pass because of their charge carbohydrates cannot pass b/c they are to big and are not able to cross either w/ out protein channels Polar molecules  
🗑
Other components of the cell membrane   consists of cholesterol & proteins that contribute to the membrane rigidity (stiffness)  
🗑
Cholesterol in the cell membrane   adds support to the membrane by getting in through the openings in the lipid layers it helps add fluidity to the cell membrane when in different tempertures  
🗑
Proteins in the cell membrane   there are 3 types - Integral transmembrane proteins -Lipid anchored proteins are made of single fatty acids in & out of the bilayer -Peripheral membrane proteins  
🗑
Function of the proteins in the cell membrane   as receptors they are activated by ligands ex)epinephrine and act as (CAMs) cell adhesion molecules to anchor cells towards eachothers ECM  
🗑
Fluid Mosaic Model   Says that the membrane fluid structure has various proteins embedded in it thus making tempertures affect the state of the cell membranes must be fluid & unsaturated than saturated in order to work  
🗑
membrane transport   primary factor is is to create cell membrane permiability -the cell must be able to exchange materials in and out of the membrane  
🗑
Trans membrane protein functions   1) Transport as a channel or carrier protein 2) Receptor that detects chemical stimulas 3) cell adhesion Molecules (CAMs) help stick to other cells  
🗑
Aquaporins   are water allowing protein channels through the membrane  
🗑
Types of membrane transport   Passive transport or active transport  
🗑
Passive transport   this transport does not require energy to move substances across it may or may not require a trans membrane protein -does require a concentration gradient of high to low ex) diffusion , facilitated diffusion  
🗑
Active transport   Requires energy to move substances across the membrane -does not require a concentration gradient b/c it uses energy and trans membrane proteins to get across ex) sodium potassium pump ,pumps Na out of the cell & K into the cell like a revolving door  
🗑
Diffusion   Focuses on the movement of solutes from a high concentartion to a low one until it reaches equilibrium  
🗑
Concentration Gradient   Is the difference btwn 2 solute concentrations  
🗑
Equilibrium   depends on concentration not volume  
🗑
Diffusion for ions and lipids   b/c ions have a charge an ion channel is required for ions to move across the membrane lipids are able to diffuse though the membrane because the membrane is lipid soluble  
🗑
Osmosis   is a special type of diffusion it requires a semi permeable membrane b/c it focuses on the movement of water in the direction of a high [solute] until equilibrium is reached -this is important in our cells b/c our cells are 99% made of water  
🗑
Osmotic pressure   is exerted by a solution on a cell -is the ability of the ECF to cause a cell to gain or lose water from the cytosol/ICF b/c of the movement of water the cell can lyse, or rupture due to swelling  
🗑
Tonicity   is the movement of water that creates pressure on the cell membrane there are 3 types 1) Isotonic solution 2) Hypotonic solution 3)Hypertonic solution  
🗑
Isotonic Solution   this solution does not cause the cell to gain or lose water b/c the [solute] are equal in and out of the cell there is no net movement but the water is moving to both sides  
🗑
Hypotonic solution   In this solution water is able to pass freely into the cell causing the cell to gain water and lyse -the ECF [solutes] is less than the ICF [solute]  
🗑
Hypertonic solution   this solution has a higher [solute] outside the cell causing it to lose water (shrink/ shrivel) -the ECF [solute] is greater than the ICF [solute]  
🗑
Carrier Mediated Transport   is the transport of ions and compounds across the cell membrane by trans membrane proteins (carrier/channel) may or may not require ATP 2 types 1)facilitated diffusion 2) active transport  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   is a type of passive process requiring no energy -does require a carrier protein and a [gradient] example is glucose transporter carries glucose from a high [glucose] to a low [glucose] the mvment is limited depending on # of carrier proteins  
🗑
Vesicular Transport   are tiny lipid packages used to transport molecules -these are derived from the cell membrane or Golgi apparatus 2 types of transport 1)Endocytosis 2)Exocytosis  
🗑
Endocytosis   Begins in cell membrane by folding it inward and bringing in large quantities of substances 3 types of ways 1)receptor mediated endocytosis 2) pinocytosis 3) phagocytosis  
🗑
Receptor mediated endocytosis   selective endocytosis/ a form of pinocytosis  
🗑
Pinocytosis   not selective endocytosis/ cellular drinking  
🗑
Phagocytosis   host defense/ cellular eating  
🗑
Exocytosis   begins at the Golgi apparatus where it is stored -it is also known as protein secretion b/c the vesicles fuse w/ the membrane resulting in a release of proteins  
🗑
selective permiability   allows some substances to move in the cell more easily than others by regulating transport  
🗑
protein functions   1) transport 2)enzymatic activity 3)receptor 4)joins 2 cells 5)attached to the ECM  
🗑
carrier proteins   change their own shape while holding on to a substance during transport  
🗑
ligands   are any molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site on another molecule  
🗑
Energy in cells   is the ability to perform work, and cause change -is required to assemble and dissasemble compounds , transport & production of energy  
🗑
2 types of energy   Potential and kinetic energy  
🗑
Kinetic energy   the energy of movement -heat which can often be lost -light which is energy movement of photon particles  
🗑
potential energy   is stored energy that an object can contain -can power up a cell for example the process of cellular respiration the conversion of glucose to ATP  
🗑
Cellular respiration equation   Glucose + O2 ---> 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + 32 ATP  
🗑
ATP   is a type of energy or potential energy  
🗑
chemical reactions   lead to the making (synthesis) or breaking (disassociation) of a covalent bond

🗑
What is thermodynamics   the study of energy transformation  
🗑
1st law of thermodynamics   when the total amnt of energy of a system is constant - the energy cannot be created or destroyed also known as the conservation of energy  
🗑
2nd law of thermodynamics   when energy conversions increase entropy / the disorder of the universe heat is a type of entropy b/c it is sometimes lost in the cell and becomes unusable  
🗑
making and breaking   energy can be stored by making chemical bonds or released by breaking chemical bonds  
🗑
Gibbs free energy   is a living systems energy that can do work when there is a change in temp. and pressure in the cell  
🗑
Changes in gibbs free energy   energy to do work can be calculated by subtracting the final state from the initial state -or the products minus the reactants  
🗑
Types of chemical reactions   1) endergonic reaction 2) exergonic reactions these chemical reactions couple up in order for both of them to occur  
🗑
Endergonic reactions   absorbs energy from the surroundings or by making stored energy the change is positive ex) ADP+p ---> ATP (non spontaneous )  
🗑
Exergonic reactions   breaks a covalent bond in order to release energy -the change is negative ex) ATP----> P+ ADP (spontaneous)  
🗑
enzyme jobs   to act on substrates and form or break chemical bonds with/out requiring alot of ATP -they speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers  
🗑
Enzyme temp. changes   -the enzyme works best at 37 degrees -they change shape and function if the temperature is not to their liking. - if it is to hot the enzyme will unfold and denature -if the temp is to low the enzyme will become inactive or slow down.  
🗑

🗑
Co-factors   are cations that can help an enzyme maintain its shape & function ex) Ca2+, Mg 2+, Cu 2+  
🗑
Chelators   remove cations from a solution to inhibit enzyme function called EDTA & PTU EDTA removes {Ca2+, & Mg2+} PTU removes {Cu2+}  
🗑
Temperture   body temp. is 37 degrees if it is increased to 100 or higher proteins unfold & denature if the temp decreases the enzyme works slower  
🗑

🗑
