Biology of Cells Chapter 7 Notecards

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
Amphipathic   contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions  
🗑
Phospholipids   Make up plasma membrane, allows for selective permeability, amphipathic, want to escape from water, head (hydrophilic) and tail (hydrophobic), can move and flip  
🗑
Fluid Mosaic   membrane is mostly phospholipids with a "mosaic" of proteins in it  
🗑
Lateral Movement   Drifting of phospholipids and proteins within the same layer, happens about 100,000,000 times per second  
🗑
Flip-flop movement   Phospholipids and proteins move from one bilayer to the other, RARE, about once per month  
🗑
Movement and Temperature   less movement = colder temperature = less fluidity  
🗑
Proteins   determine most of the membrane's specific functions  
🗑
Peripheral proteins   bound to the surface of the membrane  
🗑
Integral proteins   penetrate the hydrophobic core of the membrane, has to be hydrophobic if it is in the hydrophobic membrane core  
🗑
Transmembrane proteins   span the entire membrane  
🗑
Alpha helix   crosses over the entire membrane  
🗑
Functions of membrane proteins   transport, enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell to cell recognition, intercellular joining, attatchment to cytoskeleton and ECM  
🗑
Carbohydrates   allow cell to cell recognition  
🗑
Glycolipids (Sugar fats)   sugar is COVALENTLY bonded to lipids  
🗑
Glycoproteins (sugar proteins)   sugar is COVALENTLY bonded to proteins  
🗑
Cholesterol   inserted between tails of phospholipids, can alter membrane fluidity, serves as buffer for temperature, prevents solidification  
🗑
Selective permeability   hydrophobic (nonpolar) molecules pass through hydrophobic bilayer easily, hydrophilic cannot cross easily so they are aided by transport proteins  
🗑
Transport proteins   allow passage of hydrophilic substances, all are transmembrane proteins  
🗑
Channel protein   provide a hydrophilic channel through the protein which can be gated  
🗑
Aquaporins   passage of water through channel proteins  
🗑
Ion channels   passage of ions through channel proteins  
🗑
Gated channels   open or close in response to a stimulus through channel proteins  
🗑
Carrier proteins   binds to a specific molecule and carries the protein from top of the membrane to the bottom and let it go  
🗑
Membrane (solute) transport   molecules in solution move randomly causing mixing, 2 types: passive and active  
🗑
Concentration   amount of solute in a solvent  
🗑
Concentration Gradient   more solute in one part of the solvent than another  
🗑
Active transport   energy needed for this transport (specifically ATP) to move solutes against their concentration gradients, raises active potential, requires transport proteins  
🗑
Passive transport   no energy needed due to diffusion  
🗑
Simple diffusion   transports solutes through membrane which eventually eliminates concentration gradient  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   transports solutes through transport proteins  
🗑
Osmosis   diffusion of water across a membrane, water moves from high to low concentration but solutes move from low to high concentration  
🗑
Tonicity   ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water due to osmosis  
🗑
Isotonic solution   equal solutes inside and outside the cells so no change in volume  
🗑
Hypertonic Solution   higher solute in solution so water flows out of the cell and the volume of the cell decreases  
🗑
Hypotonic solution   higher solute in the cell so water flows into the cell and the volume of the cell increases  
🗑
Osmoregulate   when organisms regulate water balance  
🗑
Plasmolysis   when a cell membrane pulls away from a cell wall due to hypertonic solutions  
🗑
Flaccid cell   happens in an isotonic solution with a cell with a cell wall, no water movement causes cell to become flaccid  
🗑
Cotransport   active transport of a solute drives transport of another solution  
🗑
Uniport   moves only 1 way (in or out)  
🗑
Symport   moves 2 only 1 way (in or out)  
🗑
Antiport   one moves in and one moves out  
🗑
Bulk transport   requires ATP to move larges molecules in bulk across the membrane via vesicles  
🗑
Exocytosis   transports substances OUT of the cell  
🗑
Endocytosis   transports substances INTO the cell  
🗑


   

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.
