bio 2nd qrtr Flashcards
a membrane made of two layers of phospholipids with embedded proteins that seperates the insides of the cell from its environment
CELL MEMBRANE
having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts
AMPHIPATHIC MOLECULE
allows certain substances to pass through but not others
SEMI PERMEABLE
easily bent
PILIABLE
able to flow freely
FLUID
polytropic or transmembrane spans across the membrane
INTEGRAL
monoprotic attached to only one side of the membrane
PERIPHERAL
enumerate function of protein
RECEPTOR
CHANNEL
TRANSMEMBRANE TRANSPORT
ADHESION
CELL CELL RECOGNITION
ENZYMATIC FUNCTION
mostly found on eternal surface / provides energy for the cell to survive
CARBOHYDRATES
attached to proteins
GLYCOPROTEINS
attached to lipids
GLYCOLIPIDS
regulates fluidity of membrane as temperature varies
CHOLESTEROL
high temperature causes ?
INCREASED FLUIDITY
low temperature causes ?
DECREASED FLUIDITY
describe sthe structure of a cell membrane
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
serves as a barrier that seperates the components of cell from its surrounding environment
PROTECTION
semi permeable membrane that regulates the transport of materials in and out of the cell
MATERIAL TRANSPORT
serves as the attachment point of the cytoskeleton which aids in maintaining the shape and form of the cell
CELL SHAPE
seperates the organelles from each other and from the cytoplasm providing their own environment and functional individuality
COMPARTMENTALIZATION
enables cell to identify other cells and foreign substances
CELL RECOGNITION
plays a vital role in the performance of cell functions
CELL FUNCTION
