Bio final exam Kaplan slides 5 (LO 5/6/7) Flashcards
Lipid properties
-Insoluable in water
-Van der Waals
-Hydrocarbons
-fats
-phospholipids
-Sterols
Lipid roles
-Store energy in bonds
-Structure
-Thermal insulation
-Some hormones
Saturated fatty acids
-Rigid and straight
-Packed tightly
-solid at room temp
Unsaturated
-Dont pack tightly together
-Monounsaturated = 1 double bond
-Polyunsaturated = 2+ double bonds
-Liquid at room temp
Unsaturated and trans fats
-Cis = H on same side (kink), liquid at room temp
-Trans = H on diff sides, solid at room temp
Membrane fluidity
-Saturated = membrane becomes less fluid
-Unsaturated = membrane becomes more fluid
Membrane proteins
-Move materials through membrane
-Intercellular adhesion
-Receive signals
Integral proteins
-Embedded in membrane
-Move substances across the membranes
-Hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions
Peripheral proteins
-Attached to surface
-Support cells shape
-Cell signaling
Cholesterol in the membrane
-Warming temps: fluidity decreases
-Colder temps: Fluidity increases (no van Der walls form)
Temp in membrane
-Warm temps: more fluid
-Cold temps: less fluid, van der Waals
Passive transport
-Does not require direct input of metabolic activity
Active transport
-Requires energy
-Movement against gradient
Simple diffusion
-Gases
-Small, non polar molecules
Facilitated diffusion
-Moves substances down their concentration gradients using transmembrane proteins
Osmosis
-Diffusion of water across a membrane
-Always moves from higher to lower concentration
Osmolarity
-Total solute concentration
Primary active transport
-Moves ion/molecule up its concentration using energy
Secondary active transport
-Uses the gradient created by primary active transport
-Move a different substance against its gradient
Cell entry
-Phagocytosis
-Pinocytosis
-Receptor mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis
-Larger particle attaches to cell membrane
-Stimulates it
Pinocytosis
-Import of water that has dissolved molecules
Receptor mediated endocytosis
-Endosomes can fuse with lysosomes
Exocytosis
Material packaged in vesicles are released from cell
