Biology T1 Flashcards
What is the plasma membrane mostly made of?
A phospholipid bilayer
What end of the phospholipid is Hydrophobic
The tails
What end of the phospholipid is hydrophilic?
The top circle
How many layers of phospholipids are ther in a plasma membrane?
2
What is scattered inside the phospholipid layers?
Proteins
What do proteins do in the membrane?
Allow certain large molecules into the cell
What can enter the cell without proteins?
Small molecules like O2 and CO2
What is a Prokaryote cell?
A single cell without a nucleus
What is a common example of a prokaryote cell?
Bacteria
What is a Eukaryote cell?
A usually multicellular cell with a nucleus
If a cell has lots of mitochondria, does it have lots of energy?
Yes
Does Active Transport use energy?
Yes
What gradient does active transport use?
Low to high
What type of energy does active transport use?
ATP
What types of protein pumps are there?
Sodium Potassium
Proton
Coupled Transport
What is endocytosis?
When molecules enter the cell with some of the membrane
What is phagocytosis?
Solids entering
What is pinocytosis?
Liquids going in
What is receptor mediated endocytosis?
When the receptor proteins grab certain molecules and enter the cell
What is exocytosis?
When molecules exit the cell
What is cytosis?
When a large amount of particles move across the membrane - in or out
What gradient is diffusion?
High to low
Does diffusion require energy?
No
When does diffusion stop?
When it reaches an equilibrium - the same amount on both sides
