32
Q

Hypertonic solution

A

Water goes out of the cell

Plant - plasmolysis
Animal - cell shrinks

33
Q

Hypotonic solution

A

Water goes into the cell

Plant - turgor pressure (cell swells)
Animal - lysis (cell bursts)

34

Water goes in and out

Cells are unchanged

35

Stabilizes the membrane

36
Q

Phospholipid

Phosphate
Glycerol
2 fatty acid tails

37
Q

Lipid bilayer

A

What forms when 2 phospholipids go in water.

38
Q

Hydrophobic region

A

“Water fearing”

Fatty acid tails (inside bilayer)

39
Q

Hydrophilic region

A

“Water loving”

Phosphohead (outside bilayer)

40
Q

Ectraceplular side

A

Outside of cell

41
Q

Cytoplasmic side

A

Inside of cell (cytoplasm)

42
Q

Channel protein

A

A protein embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that acts as a channel or tunnel to let molecules in or out of the cell.

43
Q

Cell surface marker

A

Carb chain that is used to is a cell (name tag)

44
Q

Receptor protein

A

Protein on the outside of the cell membrane that recognizes or binds to specific molecules and causes reactions to occur inside of the cell (doorbell)

45
Q

Enzymes

A

Protein on the inside of the cell that assists in chemical reactions.

46
Q

Why is it called a fluid mosaic model ?

A

Fluid - the phospholipid having the consistency of vegetable oil

Mosaic - proteins that are embedded within the phospholipid

47
Q

What is water intoxication ?

A

Hyponatremia

48
Q

How do bacteria and plant deal with osmotic pressure ?

A

They have a cell wall that prevents them from bursting in a hypotonic solution.

49
Q

How do paramecium deal will osmotic pressure ?

A

Have a contractile vacuole that collects water flowing in and pumps it out to prevent bursting.

50
Q

How do salt water fish deal with osmotic pressure ?

A

They pump salt out of their gills so that they don’t dehydrate.

51
Q

How do animal cells deal with osmotic pressure ?

A

They are bathed in blood and the kidneys keep blood isotonic by removing excess salt in water.
