cell membrane Flashcards
open system
exchange matter and energy with their surroundings
phospholipid bilayer
proteins are suspended in the bilayer, sugar molecules are attached to some of the proteins
purpose
to maintain equilibrium within the cell
hydrophobic
water fearing
hydrophilic
water loving
biological barrier
separates many substances from other cells
membrane proteins
-peripheral (on surface)
-integral (spans the membrane)
peripheral proteins
act as markers for cellular recognition and communication
integral proteins
span the bilayer, act as channels for material the enter and exit the cell
fluid mosaic model
constantly moving and changing, gives cell flexibility, movement. changes positions of the proteins
3 functions of the cell membrane
- barrier-keeps wastes and toxins out
- organization-membranes surround and package materials in vesticles
- selective filter-semipermeable (regulates by particle size and by selective transport by membrane proteins)
3 substances transported into animal cells
-oxygen
-water
-sugar
2 substances transported out of animal cells
-waste
-oxygen
osmosis
area of high concentration to low through a semipermeable membrane
passive transport
high to low concentration
low energy
passive transport/diffusion
-molecules move randomly
-high to low concentration
facilitated diffusion
carrier proteins bind to larger molecules that change their shape so molecules can diffuse
channel proteins
provide water filled pores for charged ions to pass through
concentration gradient
difference in concentration between high and low concentration areas
equilibrium
particles never stop moving, always move across concentration gradient
(equal on both sides)
Brownian Motion
S-space:between particles
P-particles:all materials made up of particles
A-attraction:all particles attracted to one another
M-movement:particles always moving
active transport
low to high concentration-ATP required
carrier proteins usually needed
endocytosis
endo-in
2 types of endocytosis
1.phagocytosis-solids
2.pinocytosis-liquids
