Biological Membranes Flashcards
Phospholipid Bilayer
Protective layer of the membrane
Membrane Proteins
What makes the membrane function
Glycoproteins/glycolipids
Where carbohydrates are used for communication
Membrane lipids
Phospholipids that have different functions
Integral Proteins
Inserted into hydrophobic layer of membrane
Peripheral Proteins
Outside and around membrane
Lipid Anchored Proteins
Attached to membrane
Semipermeable Bilayer
Some molecules can past through while others can’t
Diffusion
Movement from high concentration to low concentration
Passive Transport
Moving molecules without energy
Facilitated Diffusion
Transportation of polar molecules
Channel Proteins
Transports ions (Na+, Li+)
Carrier Proteins
Changes shape of molecules (for bigger polar molecules)
Uniport
Only transports 1 protein
Bi-directional
Transports multiple proteins
Co-transport in PT
Moves multiple proteins at a time
Symport
Moves proteins in one direction
Antiport
Moves proteins in opposite direction
Active Transport
Transportation with energy (ATP)
Osmosis
Net movement of water towards a higher concentration
Hydration Cell
Water molecules attaching to solute to shrink it
Co-Transport in AT
Uses gradient to make ATP
ATP
Has chemical bonds from phosphate bond
Primary Active Transport
Uses energy from hydrolysis for transportation
