Question
Answer
Phospholipid Bilayer   The framework of the membrane  
🗑
What is the phospholipid bilayer made up of?   The tail (hydrophobic) and head (hyrophillic)  
🗑
Transmembrane proteins   Have one or more regions physically embedded in the hydrophoic region of the bilayer  
🗑
Lipid-anchored protein   Involoves covalent attachment of a lipid to the amino acid side chain of a protein  
🗑
Peripheral or Extrinsic Membrane Proteins   Noncovalently bound to regions of intergral membrane proteins that project out from the membrane, or they are bound to the polar head groups of phospholipids  
🗑
What percent of genes encode membrane proteins?   25%  
🗑
Fluidity   Individual molecules remain in close association, yet have the ability to readily move within the membrane  
🗑
Semifliud   Most lipids can rotate freely around their long axes and move laterally within the membrane leaflet  
🗑
Flippase   requires ATP to transport lipids from one leaflet to another  
🗑
What affects fluidity?   Length of fatty acyl tails and presence of double bonds in the acyl tails  
🗑
What does cholesterol do to the phospholipids?   Tends to stabilize (insulate) membranes  
🗑
Glycolipid   Carbohydrate to lipid  
🗑
Glycoprotein   Carbohydrate to protein  
🗑
Cell coat (aka glycocalyx)   carbohydrate-rich zone on the cell surface shielding cell from damage  
🗑
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)   Biological sample that is sectioned and stained with heavy-metal dyes  
🗑
Freeze Fracture Electron Microscopy (FFEM)   Can be used to analyze the interiors of phospholipid bilayers; sample is frozen in liquid nitrogen and fractured with a knife  
🗑
Glycosylation   Attachment of carbs to a lipid or protein  
🗑
N-link   Attachment of carb 'tree' to nitrogen atom of asparagine side chain  
🗑
O-linked   Occurs only in Golgi, addition of sugar strings to O2 atom in serine or threonine side chains  
🗑
Membrane transport does what?   Ensures essential molecules enter a cell, metabolic intermediates remain, and waster products exit the cell  
🗑
Passive Transport   Does not require an input of energy and molecules move down gradient with gradient  
🗑
Passive Diffusion   Diffusion of a solute through a membrane without transport protein  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Diffusion of a solute through a membrane with the aid of transport protein  
🗑
Active transport   Requires energy and moves molecules up the gradient  
🗑
Phospholipid Bilayer Barrier   Barrier to hydrophillic molecules and ions due to hydrophobic interior  
🗑
Homeostasis   Living cells maintain a relatively constant internal environment different from their external environment.  
🗑
Transmembrane Gradient   Concentration of a solute is higher on one side of a membrane than on the other  
🗑
Ion Electronchemical Gradient   Both electrical gradients and concentration gradients are present  
🗑
Osmosis   Diffusion of water across a membrane from area with more water (less solute) to and area with less water(more solute)  
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   The tendency for water to move into any cell  
🗑
Crenation   Shrinking in a hypertonic solution (turning into a raisin)  
🗑
Lyse   Too much water moves into a cell causing it to burst  
🗑
Turgor Pressure   Water pressure inside plant cells that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall  
🗑
Transport Proteins   Transmembrane proteins provide a passageway for the movement of ions and hydrophillic molecules across membranes  
🗑
Channels   Form an open passageway for the direct diffusion of ions or molecules across the membrane  
🗑
Aquaporins   Channels for water  
🗑
Transporters   Aka Carrier proteins that perform a conformational (shape) change to transport solute  
🗑
Uniporter   Single molecule or ion  
🗑
Symporter/Contransporter   Two or more ions or molecules transported in the same direction  
🗑
Antiporter   Two or more ions of molecules transported in opposite directions  
🗑
Primary active transport   Uses a pump and directly uses energy (ATP) to transport solute  
🗑
Secondary Active Transport   Use a pre-existing concentration gradient to drive transport of solute  
🗑
Exosytosis   Material inside the cell is packaged into vesicles and excreted into the extracellular medium  
🗑
Endocytosis   Plasma membrane folds inward to form a vesicle that brings substances into the cell  
🗑
Receptor-mediated endocytosis   Entry of large particles that requires recognition by a cell membran receptor  
🗑
Pinocytosis   Cell drinking  
🗑
Phagocytosis   Cell eating  
🗑


   

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.
