Cell Membrane Part 2 Flashcards
transport proteins move __ substances across the __ of cell
hydrophilic, plasma membrane
3 types of transport proteins
- channels
- carriers
- active transporters
channels are transmembrane proteins with a 3D shape that form a small pore connecting
ECF and cytoplasm
channels go through the center of
membrane protein
many channels are made up of multiple
protein subunits
Channels transport
IONS
channels transport via
facilitated diffusion
function of channels
-facilitated diffusion of ions
-somewhat specific
-NOT saturable
channels can not be
saturated
open channels are always __ and ions freely flow through via __
OPEN, facilitated diffusion
two types of channels
open and gated
open channels create a __ pore
water filled
open channels also creates
“leak currents”
gated channels spend most their time __ and only open when __
closed, stimulated
3 types of gated channels
chemically, mechanically, and voltage gated
phosphorylation- gated ion channel= __
covalent modulation (activator)
ligand- gated ion channels= __ modulation
allosteric (activator)
allosteric and covalent modulation help to
control proteins
2 parts of covalent modulation
- kinase (P becomes bound)
- phosphatase (P removed)
voltage- gated ion channel goes from closed to open through change in
membrane potential
stretch or pressure- gated ion channels go from closed to open by
stretch
Carriers proteins transport
building blocks
carriers use
facilitated diffusion
carrier transmembrane proteins moves hydrophilic building blocks across the plasma membrane via __
facilitated diffusion (passive)
what are examples of building blocks transported by carriers?
glucose and amino acids
3 properties of carriers
- specificity
- saturation
- competition
how carriers work
passage open to one size-> transition state, both gates closed-> passage open to other side
never open to both sides at the same time
carrier proteins are NEVER
open on both sides
