Cell Membrane Flashcards
Integral proteins
Transport ions/ lipids/ molecules/ large substances through membrane
2 types of proteins in plasma membrane?
Integral and peripheral
Peripheral proteins
Interior or exterior of membrane
2 Receptors… Like bone cell and calcium.
1 Cell to cell communication
Fluid mosaic model
Describes arrangement of molecules that make up cell membrane
What is an ligand +example
Signal triggering molecule
Trams,it’s message/ command by going through or to integral protein
Example: _________
What is a phospholipid
Lipid in cell membranes
With polar head (hydrophilic) and no polar tail,(hydrophobic)
What is head of phospholipid made off
1 glycerol
Charged phosphate group
What does it mean to be selectively permeable?
Small no polar substances can pass through
Only select substances can pass through
3 types of passive transport
Osmosis
Diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
Osmosis
WATER diffuses from high to low across membra
Diffusion
Movement of a fluid from high to low concentration
Facilitated diffusion
Diffusion of molecules through transport proteins
What substances enter cell through facilitated diffusion
Ions, larger molecules
Polar
3 osmotic solutions
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic
Hypertonic
More,solute than water
Less water
