AP bio chapter 6 and 7 Flashcards
name major components of cell membrane
glycoproteins, glycolipids, phospholipid bilayer, cholesterol, cytoskeleton filaments, integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins, carbohydrates, fibers of extracellular matrix
glycoproteins
on outside of plasma membrane, compromise protein and carbohydrate chains, membrane carbohydrates covalently bonded to proteins
glycolipid
on extracellular surface of cell membrane, membrane carbohydrates covalently bonded to lipids
phospholipid bilayer
acts as barrier to protect cell against outside components
cholesterol
in between phospholipids, stabilizes cell membrane
cytoskeleton filaments
in the cytoplasmic side of membrane, give cell shape and organize cell parts
integral membrane proteins
within bilayer membranes, penetrates hydrophobic core, helps move molecules across membrane
peripheral membrane proteins
bound to surface of membrane, helps in communication, support, and molecule transfer
carbohydrates
present on extracellular side of membrane (exterior), attached to proteins and form glycoproteins
extracellular matrix fibers
fills space between cells, in extracellular side of membrane (exterior), helps cell attach and communicate with cells
transmembrane protein
integral proteins that span the membrane
carrier protein
transport protein that binds to molecules and change shape to shuttle them across the membrane, undergo subtle change in shape that translocates the solute-binding site across the membrane
transport protein
allow passage of hydrophilic substances across the membrane, specific for substance it moves, can move solutes against their concentration gradient
integrin protein
mediate interactions between cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
aquaporins
channel proteins that facilitate the passage of water (facilitated diffusion of water)
channel protein
type of transport protein has hydrophilic channel that certain molecules or ions can useas a tunnel
what does cholesterol do in animal cells
restrains movement at warmer temperatures and maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing at cooler temperatures
6 functions of membrane proteins
transport
enzymatic activity
signal transduction
cell-cell recognition
intercellular joining
attachment to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
how can a hydrophobic (nonpolar) molecule pass through the cell membrane
can dissolve in the lipid bilayer and pass through membrane rapidly
how can a hydrophilic (polar) molecule pass through the cell membrane
don’t cross through membrane easily, use facilitated diffusion (carrier and channel proteins) (EX. sugar)
how can ions pass through cell membrane
facilitated diffusion (carrier and channel proteins and ion channels)
how can small molecules pass through cell membrane
enter or leave cell through lipid bilayer or by transport proteins
how can large molecules pass through cell membrane
endocytosis and bulk transport via vesicles
what can monosaccharides pass through cell membrane
diffusion down the concentration gradient
