Hydrocarbon fatty acid (hydrophobic) tails
Most common lipid in cell membrane
Phospholipids
Simple diffusion - Water soluble
Occurs through…
Through pore or gated ion channel
Simple diffusion - Lipid soluble
Substance
CO2, O2, ethanol, lipid soluble substances
Location of lipid soluble diffusion
All cells
Simple diffusion - lipid soluble
Occurs through…
Through lipid bilayer
Simple diffusion - water soluble
Substances
Water & ions
Location of water soluble simple diffusion
All cells, nerve cells
Function of cholesterol in cell membrane
Makes membrane less fluid
Glycolipids location
Only on outside of cell
Function of proteins in cell membrane
Responsible for membrane function
Types of membrane proteins
Integral & peripheral
Simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion are examples of ____
Passive transport
What is passive transport?
Substances move with concentration gradient
What is active transport?
Substances move against concentration gradient
Diffusion is proportional to ____, ____, ____
Surface area
Concentration gradient
Number and size of openings
____ surface area will increase diffusion
Higher
____ number & size of openings will increase diffusion
Increased
2 types of diffusion
Simple
Facilitated
Simple diffusion =
No carrier protein
Facilitated diffusion =
Requires carrier protein
Facilitated diffusion - Glucose transporters
Glut 1: one way
Glut 2: both ways
Glut 4: one way
SGlut1: Sodium symport
Glut 1 transporter - insulin
Insulin independent
Glut 2 transporter - insulin
Insulin independent
Glut 4 transporter - insulin
Insulin dependent
SGlut1 transporter - insulin
Insulin independent
Glut 1 - location
Brain & RBC
Glut 2 location
Liver
