Q

What makes up the cell membrane?

A

phospholipids

19
Q

What are phospholipids contained of?

A

head containing a phosphate group (hydrophilic)
long tail made up of two fatty acids (hydrophobic)

20
Q

Why is the phosphate head soluble?

A

Because of the PO4 which has a region of positive charge and a region of a negative charge, making the head end attracted to water

21
Q

What causes the slight bend in one of the fatty acid molecule?

A

the double bond making it unsaturated

22
Q

Why can the proteins and cholesterol insert inside the cell membrane>

A

Because of the bends in the lipid layer

23
Q

What are some functions of cholesterol?

A
  • Since its free to drift around they fix any breaks in the membrane
  • It also helps maintain the fluid condition of the bilayer in different temp conditions
24
Q

What does a cholesterol molecule do when its cold>

A

Cholesterol keeps the phospholipids apart

25
Q

What does a cholesterol molecule at warm temperatures?

A

attracts the phospholipids

26
Q

The proteins are called ________ in lipid layers?

A

integral proteins because they are embedded in the membrane and function as channels for ions and other molecules in and out of the cell

27
Q

Why is it called fluid-mosaic when referring to a cell membrane?

A

Its called mosaic because the membrane contains several kinds of molecules embedded in it.

28
Q

What are glycoproteins?

A

Are proteins that are attached to a carbohydrate that act as receptor sites for hormones and aid in the cell’s adhesion to other cells.

29
Q

Cell membranes are selectively permeable because most living membranes are able to control what passes through them.

A

true

30
Q

There are three processes by which molecules move in and out of the cell:

A
  • Passive transport
  • Active transport
  • The use of vesicles to move very large molecules around
31
Q

What is passive transport?

A

The movement of materials across a cell membrane without using any of the cell’s energy

32
Q

What are the three types of passive transport?

A
  1. Diffusion
  2. Osmosis
  3. Facilitated diffusion
33
Q

Where does diffusion occurs faster?

A

More rapidly in a gas than a liquid

34
Q

What does Isotonic mean?

A

When the concentration of solutes in fluid surround the cell is same as the cell cytoplasm (EQUILLIBRIEM)

35
Q

What does hypertonic mean?

A

When water moves out of the cell

36
Q

What does hypotonic mean?

A

When water moves in the cell

37
Q

How can we measure the osmotic potential of solutions?

A

By an osmometer which consists of a tube with a permeable membrane at one end

38
Q

What are three important roles of active transport?

A

It allows the cell to bring in and store nutrients that are already in high conc. inside the cell

39
Q

What are three important roles of active transport?

A
  1. It allows the cell to bring in and store nutrients that are already in high conc. inside the cell
  2. Removes harmful waste products from the intracellular enviroment
  3. Used for homeostasis (temp is maintained)
40
Q

Describe the process of active transport?

A
  1. An ion is drawn onto the transport protein
  2. ATP is used to move the ion through the membrane
  3. The ion is released inside on the other side of the membrane where its conc. is higher.
41
Q

The cell uses a special method to move these molecules so that they do not have to pass through the phospholipid bilayer called

A

vesicles

42
Q

What is endocytosis

A

is the process by which cells ingest (take in) large materials. A portion of the cell (plasma) membrane surrounds the material to be transported into the cell.

43
Q

What are the three types of extracellular

A
  1. Phagocytosis (cell eating)
  2. Pinocytosis (cell drinking)
  3. Receptor mediated endocytosis (when receptors to recognize and bind molecules before they are ingulfed)
